==Summary==
Vlad Dracula, formerly Vladimir Tepesch, is a villain from Marvel Comics originating in Tomb Of Dracula, based on the iconic character of the same name, and serves as the lord of the vampires.
In life he was the warrior king of Wallachia, and was infamous for impaling the severed heads of his foes onto spikes, but unbeknownst to him the vampire lord Varnae had chosen Dracula as his successor. Due to the manipulation of Varnae, Dracula was defeated by the turkish warlord Turac and transformed into a vampire by a Romani. After proving his strength in a test, Varnae relinquished his title to Dracula and allowed the new vampire lord to drink his blood and gain his powers. In the following centuries Vlad has relentlessly pursued various goals, ranging from expanding his kingdom and conquering the entire world to simply seeking some form of true companionship, often coming into conflict with groups such as the X-Men, the Avengers, and most notably the Van Helsing clan in the process.
