Dracula Vlad Ţepeş

Count Dracula Vlad Ţepeş (born Mathias Cronqvist) is the main antagonist of the Castlevania series. He appeared in the 116th episode of Death Battle, Ganondorf VS Dracula, where he fought against Ganondorf from the The Legend of Zelda series.
==History==
The man later known as Dracula Vlad Ţepeş was originally born Mathias Cronqvist. Sometime during the mid to late 11th century, he served in a company of knights alongside then Baron Leon Belmont. With Mathias's brilliant military strategies and Leon's skill with a sword, their company was unstoppable. Mathias eventually married a woman named Elisabetha, who he was deeply in love with. While away on a campaign against heathens in the east, Elisabetha died due to illness, and Mathias was overtaken with despair so profound that he became bedridden, worrying Leon considerably.
During that time, Mathias grew angry at God for allowing such a pure and blameless woman like Elisabetha to die such an early death while he was away risking his life and fighting in God's name. In this rage, Mathias swore to become an enemy of God and willingly offered himself to God's polar opposite, Chaos. By doing so, he would forsake his humanity and become an immortal creature of the night: a vampire, a Lord of Shadow, the legendary monster known as Dracula. He would become a recurring threat to most of Europe, as well as the sworn enemy of his former friend, Leon, alongside the entire Belmont family line, returning from the dead to battle them time and time again.
