Breathers were Undyings that had not yet experienced the violent death necessary to make them immortal. The theory was that the adrenaline of the violent death activated the vampire virus encoded in the RNA and started rapid replication, which brought them back. Most Breathers only learned about the status in retrospect, after becoming Undying. Encountering a live Breather was as likely as finding an uncut diamond lying about. Oren wasn't a fan of the word, because of the implied ease of changing that status.
