Dracula	comment	For the best reading experience possible, listen to this while going through the article. As Sherlock Holmes is to detectives, James Bond to secret agents, and Superman to superheroes, so is Dracula to vampires. Count Dracula was created by Bram Stoker in his 1897 novel of the same name. Stoker wasn't the first to introduce vampires into western literature (see the "penny dreadful" — emphasis on "dreadful" — novel Varney the Vampire for one precursor; also Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, which introduces lesbian vampires; and The Vampyre, which was written by Dr John Polidori at the suggestion of Lord Byron, for the same writing contest in which Mary Shelley created Frankenstein), but his Dracula was the first to enter popular culture — the one vampire known by people whether or not they're familiar with the book, or even the genre. Stoker named his Count after the historical figure of Vlad III DrÄƒculea (or DrÄƒculeÈ™ti, depending on the translation), voÃ¯vode of Wallachia (part of modern Romania) — or, as he is popularly known, Vlad the Impaler. In spite of being similarly bloodthirsty, the latter was rather more prone to having his enemies impaled upon stakes than to biting their necks and drinking their blood. Still, in the novel the Count claims to be related to Vlad III, and Van Helsing even conjectures that the two are one and the same. (Although, to be sure, given some of the historically-inaccurate details in the novel it seems fair to say that Stoker didn't actually know all that much about the historical Dracula beyond the name and a degree of the reputation, probably far less than today's fans do.) Because of this connection, "Vlad" is commonly used as a first name when Dracula appears in works that actually give him a first name, whether or not any historical reference is made. Stoker invented some of the classic vampire traits, such as not casting a reflection, and popularised others, like shapeshifting into animal forms and an aversion to garlic and crucifixes. But Dracula does not follow the standard rules in the novel, largely because he predates most of them. Sunlight does not do any real harm to him, though his powers are diminished in daylight and it prevents him from shapeshifting. He also starts the novel as an old man and de-ages as he drinks blood, a tidbit kept in only a few of the adaptations. Most series with vampires will eventually include either Dracula or a subversion, sometimes using a transparent alias. "Alucard", which despite sounding French is "Dracula" spelled backwards, is very common and has been used in several movies, most famously Son of Dracula. Some appearances of Dracula treat "Dracul" as another name for him, but they have distinct meanings. The name "Dracula" means "son of Dracul" in Romanian, literally "son of (the) dragon", but has come to mean "son of the Devil". As such, it fits the fictional vampire surprisingly well. "Dracul" was Vlad III's father, Vlad II, who was called that as a result of his association with the Order of the Dragon and his questionable — from an orthodox Wallachian point of view — architectural design choices regarding the churches he had built. Despite providing the archetype for all modern vampires, Dracula was remarkably angst-free in the original novel, and operated simply as a vicious, sadistic, and distinctly creepy arch-villain (with a monobrow, rancid blood-breath, and hair on his palms, no less) whose only redeeming quality was his cunning (though there is some sympathy for Dracula the man, as opposed to Dracula the vampire, as it's established that the soul of a person who becomes a vampire is prevented from entering heaven until the vampire is destroyed, reflected by the look of peace on him as he crumbles). He never even bothered to seduce any of his female victims, simply entering their rooms and attacking them or using hypnosis to draw them to him. Subsequent versions, naturally, have Flanderized his sex appeal and added oodles of gothy melodrama. He did have some properly gothic angst, but that wasn't based on Mad Love or reluctant villainy — he was simply a very old, very tired Evil Overlord, bored with ruling a backwater area in Ruritania, who decided to Take Over the World or die trying, and would have been happy with either outcome. The entry for this story is here. Dracula may live in a Haunted Castle, or at least own one in the old country. Usually has a Vampire's Harem of three or more women (likely past victims he turned) at his side as his minions. He also may have Ominous Pipe Organ as his Signature Instrument. He has appeared in more films than any other character, fictional or otherwise, except for Sherlock Holmes — including films where both appear together. Dracula continues to be the subject of new films, books, comics, video games, etc. as there is a fascination with the character that has long since outlived his author and the first book. See also Fight Dracula, for where Dracula turns up as a villain-of-the-week in somebody else's story.

The release of the Realms of Terror campaign boxed set was the first, though, to detail his history and motivations in depth. As the campaign setting was released in 1990 and the Bram Stoker's Dracula film in 1992, this makes the movie version of the good Count Older Than They Think.

Dracula / int_5cc0d020	type	Castlevania (Franchise)
Dracula / int_5cc0d020	comment	Castlevania: The franchise is perhaps the most renowned video game series to feature Dracula, in this case as the Evil Overlord Big Bad, and sworn enemy of the Belmont Clan. He's a Sorcerous Overlord with much more in common with Sauron and Ganon than other interpretations of Dracula. Castlevania: Lament of Innocence reveals that he was once a shrewd strategist named Mathias Cronqvist who befriended the founder of the Clan, Leon Belmont. However that friendship did not stop him from using Leon in his scheme to spite God Himself for letting his wife Elisabetha die while he was away. After duping Leon into slaughtering Walter Bernhard, Mathias traps his soul with the help of the Crimson Stone, and uses it to transform himself into a vampire, thus defying God and His decree of limited life. Mathias would later escape Leon's wrath and re-brand himself Dracula. He would fight the Belmonts and humanity as a whole until the year 1999. Dracula is also present in the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Alternate Continuity trilogy, but this time he's none other than the founder of the Belmont Clan, Gabriel. Originally a pious Classical Anti-Hero who slid down the slope following the death of his childhood sweetheart â€“ in addition to a handful of destroyed hopes, betrayals, and resurgence of Satan. After Gabriel realizes that all of his struggles were pointless, he decides to cast his humanity aside by letting Laura turn him into a vampire. He then humiliates the Forgotten One by stealing the demon's power. Gabriel seals his fall-from-grace some years later by waging a war on all of humankind, thinking it had abandoned him. It is also worth noting that, unlike the original continuity, the Lords of Shadow Dracula initially chose the name â€œDraculâ€� to distinguish himself; the tweaked â€œDraculaâ€� moniker was given to him by the Brotherhood of Light. Dracula is the Big Bad of the interquel, and the Player Character of the sequel game. The Castlevania version of Dracula also appears as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where his look is taken straight from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. On top of being the final Classic Mode opponent of Simon and Richter Belmont, he's also the final opponent for Luigi and Pac-Man, referencing how those two have also fought ghosts. His castle also serves as a dungeon in World of Light, with Dracula himself waiting at the end.

Dracula / int_72cdfc33	comment	He appears as part of the Big Bad Ensemble in the second book of Child of the Storm. Honorable (in his way), very powerful, and most definitely not someone you want to mess with - he's fought Thor before and only barely lost, before going out of his way to hunt down and kill Perun, another Physical God (specifically, thunder-god), just to make the point that he hadn't become an easy mark. Thor also states that any rematch between them would be 50/50. When he turns up, he effortlessly crushes Harry twice, the first time while shrugging off a Cerebro enhanced attack from Charles Xavier and an enchanted bullet from Bucky Barnes, before leaving him pinned to the street with his own sword. Word of God has it that he's fancast as Charles Dance, and was created to avert the "easily defeated sex god" cliche — this is someone who earned the title "Lord Impaler" long before he even became a vampire.
