Changes: Vlad Drakul

Revision as of 19:52, 30 April 2015

Count Vlad Drakul (1390 - unknown) was a notorious vampire who inspired the author Bram Stoker to create his famous character Count Dracula. Drakul had a son, Vlad the Impaler, who presumably shared his father's notorious reputation.

Behind the scenes

Vlad II Dracul, (Vlad the Dragon), was an actual historical figure. He was a "voievod" (duke) of Wallachia (a region that corresponds with modern-day Southern Romania), and reigned from 1436 to 1442, and again from 1443 to 1447. However, his portrayal in the game is clearly based around Vlad Dracul's son, Vlad the Impaler.
Gary Oldman, who plays Sirius Black in the Harry Potter films, played Vlad the Impaler in a 1992 film.
