Vlad Țepeș

**Vlad III of Wallachia**, more well known as **Vlad Țepeș** (meaning **Vlad the Impaler**) and **Vlad Dracula**, was the three time Voivode of Wallachia between 1448 and his death in 1476/77. Vlad was an enemy of the Ottoman Empire and was known for impaling his enemies. Vlad was one of the people resurrected during the Apocalypse war, and despite his reputation as an evil mass murdered (which was admittedly true), his devout Christian beliefs caused him to fight for humanity against the evil beings that threatened the world. Vlad would once again take his place as Voivode, though of greater Romania rather than just Wallachia as a vassal of the Neo Byzantine Empire.

## Biography

### Early Life

Vlad was born in Signisoara, Transylvania in the year 1431 to Vlad II and Eupraxia of Moldavia.

## Appearance

Vlad was a Romanian male with raven black hair, dark green eyes, and light olive skin. At 5'9", Vlad was above the average height of man at the time, but he was not especially tall. Vlad was well-built and somewhat stocky, having a very muscular and athletic physique that was perfect for his warrior nature. Vlad had died in his late 40s though he looked younger than his true age, and upon his resurrection he appeared in his mid-to-late 30s.

Vlad had thick and somewhat curly raven hair that was mildly coarse to touch. Vlad's hair was very messy and almost unkempt, though it still had a degree of refinement in it that indicated his royal position. Vlad's hair was quite long and reached his upper chest. Vlad had a middle part and kept his hair out of his face. While his hair obscured his ears from view, the rest simply cascaded down his back and shoulders in a wild fashion.

Vlad had large and deep-set eyes that were very expressive and drew a lot of attention. Vlad's eyes were a very dark green color similar to jade and were deceptively beautiful for such a violent and cruel man. Vlad was known for his very intense and piercing gaze and his eyes seemed to have a degree of madness and cruelty to them at almost all times. Vlad had long and thick eyelashes and large, bushy eyebrows.

Vlad had an oblong face shape with large temples, high cheekbones, average size ears with attached lobes, an aquiline nose with large nostrils, a thin upper lip and a plumper lower one, straight white teeth with his upper canines being somewhat longer and sharper than normal, a strong and sharp jawline, and a strong chin. Vlad had a large, thick, and bushy mustache that slightly arched downwards and he had a soul patch under his lower lip. Vlad had angular and handsome facial features, though his normal expression made him come off as very unapproachable.

Vlad was a man of average height, but was sturdily built and quite muscular. Vlad had a somewhat short but muscular neck, broad shoulders, a broad and muscular back, well-muscled and toned arms, large hands with short and thick fingers, a chiseled chest, a mostly flat stomach with defined abdominal muscles, muscular legs with thick thighs and strong calves, and large feet. Vlad's body was obviously muscular and he had well-defined muscles beneath a layer of healthy fat. Vlad's skin was somewhat rough, especially on his hands because of his rough lifestyle. Vlad's body also had its share of scars though none were very large and he had a hairy body.

Vlad had a deep and growling voice with a heavy Romanian accent. Vlad spoke very powerfully and his voice commanded attention, though he spoke mostly formally at most times. Vlad tended to laugh extremely hard and from his stomach having a booming laugh.

Vlad primarily wore a dark red cap, dark red robes, black trousers, and black riding boots alongside armor.

### Weapons

**Însângerat (B- Rank)**: Însângerat was Vlad's primary weapon. Însângerat was a long kilij that was modified for more slashing and cutting power. It was an ornate steel sword that had a black steel blade with a golden edge, an oak hilt with golden quillions, black leather wrapping on the grip, rubies in the handle, and a silver skull for a pommel. It was a magic sword that had a number of abilities.

* **Holy Light**: As a holy sword, Însângerat could emit holy light which allowed it to grievously harm anything demonic, monstrous, evil, or otherwise unholy. This holy light can be focused to create slashes that go great distances or even sword beams.

**Frigarui (B- Rank)**: Frigarui was Vlad's spear. Frigarui was a half-pike with a leaf-shaped spearhead.
