The Strix

Was there ever a time when Aya mentioned that Mikael came to the Strix with a group of vampires? I'm kind of confused, because there was a time here in the fandom where everyone said that Mikael never created other vampires that he was the only one who fed on them following Sther's plan not to create more vampires, and exterminate them all.

Does anyone else think gunters arrival could have importance of bringing in vampire families since they clearly didnt plan to have his words get alaric out but to bring in more vampire families to live up to the title of legacies? This has been an issue for many years now ive noticed in vampire stories and im not at all picking on tvd franchise, this pertains to most ive seen but i ask myself how are there so many vampires yet kept in secret from the world in that they still think they are myths, imo it all relates back to vampire families, not just the mikaelsons but id like to think the first vampires turned by lucien, aurora and tristan and its been a path of that ever since. Yes tristan helped make aya and the strix, aurora had two vampires followed to her, lucien had some with him but id like to think it isnt just all random people turned over the years and it started somewhere and became a family heritage of sorts

this show whether julie and brett realize of their own show has family at the root not romance, and it be a shameful wasted opportunity to have the only vamp families be salvatores, mikaelsons and de martels, maybe the heretics can be counted but that is all i can think off the top of my head.

Would Mikael be able to defeat them with difficulty or lose/be weakened tremendously but killed a handset of them with some difficulty?

Why didn't the Strix try to recruit the Heretics between 1863-1903? The Strix wanted powerful individuals and the Heretics were very powerful.
