Re: Timedrop23’s Characters

A second villain submission for you. I finally got the kinks ironed out on the first member of Hi-N’Un XII’s rogues’ gallery (too’many’apostrophes”””’!), and now I present you with the man responsible for New York’s recent vampirism problem.

Name: Vlad III Dracula
Alias: Count Dracula, Vlad Tepes, Vlad the Impaler, King of the Vampires (self-appointed)
Race: Vampire
Birthplace: Sighișoara, Transylvania, Kingdom of Hungary (now Romania)
Powers: Immortality, Mesmerism, Vampirism, Flight, Inhuman strength
Bio: Dracula’s factual bio can be found here, but where history claims Vlad the Impaler died in the late 1470’s AD, assassinated under mysterious circumstances, in truth the former Transylvanian nobleman went into hiding, aware from his practice in the dark arts that forces beyond his domain were planning to end his reign and his life. Vlad’s forays into dark magic later led him to a ritual that would allow him life everlasting, provided he drank human blood on a regular basis. But as any who toy with the black arts can tell you, there are always strings attached. The ritual not only infused Dracula with the blood of life eternal, but also made him host to a demonic virus known at the time as Tepes Croatoa, which warped his body and soul, turning him into the most powerful and feared vampire in history.
During her travels to post-Dark Ages Europe, Tempora Doce often crossed paths with the infamous count, and though she escaped his clutches, none of their encounters could rightly be called a victory.
Vlad has since defeated and killed several members of the cursed Black family, including Lena’s mother Leonore, while living as a zoologist under the name Daniel Basara. Most recently, he has come into possession of the lost Sword of Tepes, a fearsome demonic weapon capable of transmuting water into vampiric blood. Is the outbreak in Ithaca, New York (now statewide and spreading) strictly Vlad’s doing, or is there a greater plan at work?
