This is why vampires don't enter wars ( despite the fact that if they wrrr discovered they would be run out if not killed). Vampires don't have racial problems ( the exception being Vingalmo and Orthijlf. That is completely untrue. In Morrowind, there are two Vampire Clans that the Nerevarine can join that are at war with at least two other clans. One of these clans, Clan Aundae, is a clan of all Altmer Vampires. Vampires have their own societies and clans that constantly vie against one another for multiple reasons.

Janus Hassildor is a Vampire, yet maintains his status as Count of Skingrad, and is a benevolent ruler. He also has a zero tolerance policy against other vampires in the area, and pays handsomely to have them slain. Janus Hassildor doe not have a zero tolerance policy against other vampires in the area. He has a zero tolerance policy about "hostile" vampires: Vampires that gave in to their animal instinct. He mentions this in the Mages Guild questline during the quest where you are ordered to slay both the vampires and the hunters.
