Vlad Tepes

Vlad Tepes, more commonly known as Dracula, is a character in the Bloodbound series. He is first seen in Book 2, Chapter 10.

Appearance
Vlad has long black hair, pale skin, and bright blue eyes. When he first appears, he wears a black lacy long shirt that showed his abs, leather pants, and a necklace that contains the Eye of Bathory.

Personality
According to Adrian in Book 2, Chapter 10, Vlad is the type of vampire to enjoy all kinds of debauchery.

Background
According to Adrian and Kamilah, Vlad, who goes by the nickname "Dracula", is charming and seductive yet can be arrogant and wise yet over-egotistic. Vlad had a fling with a human author in the 1800s which caused a book about Dracula to be created where he became famous and rich. However, many European vampires, including Adrian and Kamilah, hated this because in those days, vampires were hunted and they were working together to survive and he "ratted them out". Adrian goes as far as his charm attracts anyone which includes Serafine Dupont who used to have a fling with him and even Gaius Augustine who got into a lot of debauchery activities together.

Powers and Abilities

 * Immortality: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he does not age. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Vlad.
 * Super-Strength: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he is strong enough to lift a car. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Vlad.
 * Healing Factor: Accelerated healing is an ability that vampires possess that allows them to heal from physical injuries at supernatural speeds. If a vampire uses their blood such as when Adrian was done feeding on Nicole, they can heal the bite mark as well. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Vlad.
 * Heightened Senses: In Book 1, Chapter 6, Lily mentions how she can feel the slightest air currents, how she can even see the tiniest pores in Your Character's skin and can hear the water running through the pipes three stories up. Thus we can assume the same came be said for Vlad.
 * Hovering: Scholar Jameson's notes in Book 2, Chapter 2, mention that Vlad loves showing off his ability to hover above the ground.

Weaknesses

 * Sunlight: Sunlight is one of vampires' weaknesses. As Adrian stated, sunlight does hurt him describing it as painful and will be fatal if exposed to it within a half an hour or so. It's akin hypersensitivity or accelerated heat stroke. This same weakness can be assumed for Vlad.
 * Decapitation: Dismembering or manually removing the head of a vampire will result in instant and permanent death.
 * Heart Extraction: Removing and subsequently destroying the heart of a vampire will also result in permanent death.
 * Unquenched Bloodlust: When Adrian first became a vampire, he felt the powerful thirst for blood which no amount of water can relieve. In the brief period where he resisted the urge, Adrian experienced severe discomfort whereby he eventually gave in to his instincts. It is unknown yet how long a vampire can remain thirsty or what the extent of pain is when this need is unmet. When vampires don't consume blood for extended periods of time, they tend to give in to their instincts and attack the nearest human nearby in order to suppress their thirst. Newly turned Vampires like Lily are the ones mostly affected by this problem.
 * A Feral's Bite: A bite from a feral vampire is infectious to regular vampires because it can turn them feral too.

Trivia

 * The author who is stated to have had a fling that led to Vlad's fame is implied to be Bram Stoker who lived in the 1800s and wrote the novel Dracula that indeed made Dracula famous.
 * The spelling of his last name differs. In Jameson's notes in a premium scene of Book 2, Chapter 2, it is spelled "Teppes", while a few chapters later, in Chapter 10, it is spelled "Tepes".
