Vlad the Impaler

Vlad III (1431–1477), also known as Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeș in Romanian) or Vlad Dracula, was the Voivode of Wallachia and is now considered a Romanian national hero. He was notoriously cruel, best known for his use of impalement as a method of execution. Though history portrays him as human, Vlad was a Host-Lord of the Daevite Empire who sought to use Wallachia as a stepping stone to unleash the Empire's full might on the rest of Europe, as documented in SCP-140.

===Ruling Wallachia===
Vlad was known for being a pompous and vile man, but he was also deeply religious and a skilled fighter. When he visited a monastery, he met Varis, a Karcist of Sarkicism disguised as a Christian monk. Varis had a low opinion of him, calling his moustache ridiculous.An Assembly of Sarkics
During his second reign, Vlad attempted to re-establish the Daevite Empire by constructing the Turnul Chindiei, a tower in Parcul Chindia that housed a portal to a poor replica of reality in which the Daevites were never defeated. He wrote the message "Do not fear the bloodletting, fear those holding the athame." above the entrance in Daevite script with human blood. However, this anomaly remained inactive for hundreds of years, as Vlad appeared to shift his focus elsewhere.Entry Page: 6520
===Bloodlines and death===
In the 15th century, according to the history written in SCP-140, Vlad III led a Daevite army of fifty men into Romani territory and captured the entire clan of an elderly Romani woman. He killed them in front of her eyes at Poenari Citadel, attempting to intimidate her into persuading the rest of her people to submit to Vlad or face death. The woman refused, and Vlad subjected the elder to visions of his conquests and forests of impaled men, women, and children. She also witnessed Vlad consuming the blood of a young woman, which revealed that he was a dhampir.
She immediately produced a crucifix and used magic to trap Vlad long enough to escape; however, this proved ineffective as he used hemomancy to trap her. He tried once more to persuade the woman to serve him, but she refused, so Vlad cut her throat. Before this could be completed, the woman sang a brief excerpt from On Mount Golgotha as she died. 
This drove Vlad insane, leading him to murder his men and write a composition in their blood before continuing it in his own, exsanguinating and killing himself. Some time later, Ottoman janissary Konstantin discovered the bloodied scene, but the rain washed away the composition, and SCP-140 caused history to change into the widely accepted version.Bloodlines Vlad's finger was allegedly removed at some point, and it became known as SCP-153-D.Entry Page: 153-D

===Vanguard===
The Wikipedia page for the List of Common Anomalous Misconceptions, created following the Impasse and formation of Vanguard, stated under the subheading of "Important figures and entities" that Vlad III was not a vampire.
Instead, it was revealed that he was a Daevite resurgent who attempted to revive Daeva cultural practices in 15th-century Wallachia.List of Common Anomalous Misconceptions
