There's a rather fun fantasy book by Pamela Dean called Tam Lin, where the baddies are a couple of people from Shakespeare's troupe of actors who now live in Minnesota, where they go to college. Because that's a protected space where they can learn about the modern world without too many consequences for making mistakes due to ignorance. Perhaps the same applies to the 100 yr old vampire. Though 100 years is approximately 1920 these days, which is not all that different from today.
