Dracula



"Oh no! It's Dracula! Count Dracula! But I know that Dracula is... Vlad Ţepeş. He's a Romanian warlord, back then when he was fighting against the Ottoman Turks, the old version of the Turkish people, and now look at him, he's in the modern world, posing threat to the Grand Alliance!"

--Su Ji-Hoon, Dracula Rises Again

Dracula Vlad Ţepeş (formerly known as Mathias Cronqvist) is the primary antagonist of the Castlevania series. He is loosely based on the character of the same name in Bram Stoker's novel and the historical figure, Vlad Drăculea.

Originally a human called Mathias Cronqvist, Dracula fell into madness after the death of his first wife, and became an immortal vampire thanks to the powers of the Crimson Stone. With his dark powers, he built his army of creatures and his fortress, Castlevania. Since the 11th century, the Belmont Clan stood in opposition to Dracula, and legendary warriors confronted him each time he came back from the dead. He was eventually definitively destroyed in 1999 by the last descendant of the Belmonts.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he is the Master Vampire of the Vampires' Republic of Transylvania, a member state of the New Warsaw Pact. When he was defeated in an arm wrestling game by Commander Chariot after he joined the Undead Alliance, he can help the founder of that alliance, who is also Chariot.

Also he will help Lola Loud, Kim Jong-un, Lori Loud, Xi Jinping, Lisa Loud, Vladimir Putin, Luan Loud, Kazuo Shii, Toshiro, Almighty Tallests Red and Purple, Hermann Fegelein, and other important Coalition of the Red Star people, for he doesn't hate humans anymore in present times.
