I don't think so. I don't remember which chapter but Adrian explained that vampires turn feral because the farther their vampiric blood deviates from the First Vampire, they risk losing control of their vampiric abilities thus turning feral. That is why new vampires must be branded with a clan,because the brand contains blood from the First Vampire.

Gaius however, is a son of the first vampire. Meaning if he turns someone into a vampire, he is literally giving them a blood transfusion from the First Vampire him/herself. All the council members I assume were turned by Gaius or another child of the first vampire.
