This page contains the featured article interview of November 2018 for the page Vlad the Komodo Dragon. Minato Arisato00 was interviewed on November 6, 2018.
1=# Q1: Are Vlad’s intentions of creating a one world government based on Rothschild?
:A) Vlad's intentions are solely that of his own. I'm sure the concept of one world government pre-dates the Rothschild family as well. There's definitely a lot of similarities between the two, but I didn't directly draw from the Rothschilds for Vlad's ideals.
# Q2: Is Vlad a philanthropist or does he use this title to hide his evil deeds? What does he fund?
:A) Vlad does both with his wealth. One of the good things he does is fund research for mutated individuals like himself and fellow Nazar member Neapolitan. He does his best to create cures for species related illnesses as well.
# Q3: In brief, how did Vlad establish himself as a business mogul? Where did he find all the money?
:A) Vlad got a ton of his money via illicit means. He's killed, dominated, and sold his way to the top. He eventually found ways to legitimize his business so he can come clean to the public, pardoned for whatever crimes he may or may not have done.
# Q4: How does Vlad believe dictatorship can serve for the benefit of the world?
:A) Vlad believes his world will be a benefit to his loved ones, not the world itself. He feels that if he can solidify control, there won't be criminals like himself walking around freely. He intends to purify the world of its crime by climbing the criminal hierarchy and purging any felons below him.
# Q5: Who is Vlad’s best friend or ally and who is his greatest enemy?
:A) Vlad's closest friends are his adoptive daughter Mirage and his trusted associate Remington. Remington has helped Vlad get out of jail and establish himself as a crime lord, one not to be messed with. Mirage on the other hand knows Vlad personally and is the one thing keeping him decently moral in his day to day life.
# Q6: What is the factor that makes Vlad think he’s a good guy, even though he’s a villain?
:A) Vlad thinks he's a good guy because he looks after those who have helped him get to where he is. He is incredibly loyal to his friends and those he considers his family. However, Vlad is painfully self-aware. He knows he's not the good guy so when he tries to do good things, it's to moralize his crimes.
# Q7: What impact did Vlad’s childhood have in his later life?
:A) His childhood has a massive impact on the kind of person he is in his adulthood. He suffers severe abandonment issues and clings to his adoptive daughter's admiration as a form of motivation. He also struggles with fatherhood because he never had a good father figure in his life.
# Q8: How does Vlad see the people around him? How does he judge his actions against them? What are his morals? Is there any code of honour that he lives by?
:A) Vlad tends to look down on others quite heavily, especially the poor because he feels they are more prone to crime. His outlook is hypocritical because he was once just like them, the difference comes with Vlad understanding how they work because of his own personal experience with being poor. He knows people are desperate and will do anything to uplift themselves from any burden. That being said, he doesn't respond to them with acts of malice. His moral ideology is rather twisted, anything goes so long as it doesn't reach his daughter.
# Q9: Would you like having a komodo dragon as a pet?
:A) They're lovely animals but god no. I'd be terrified of the thing, however a komodo dragon would be pretty bad ass to have protecting your front yard or riding them into the local super market.
# Q10: Would you accept a one world totalitarian government that Vlad would want to impose?
:A) A lot of Vlad's ideals I personally oppose. I feel like his constant need for control is a detriment to society, I don't think no one person can control the entirety of the world with out massive repercussions. I also feel Vlad is extremely unhinged and unpredictable, what could be a solid rule one day could easily shift to suit something different another day.
