**Alucard,** also known as Alucard Dracul and the Bane of Dracula, is a monster hunter, a dhampir, and the son of Vlad "Dracula" Dracul.

## Biography

During the 1400s in Romania, Count Vlad Dracul fell in love with a woman named Alysia Van Helsing. Alysia was the daughter of Abraham Van Helsing, Dracula's mortal enemy. Despite this, the two fell in love and Alysia soon bore him a son. Alucard was born on 1476 and was loved by his mother. However, due to his status as a hybrid, Vlad soon came to resent his son and, in a fit of rage, killed Alysia. When Alucard got older, he came into his abilities and tried to attack his father but his father quickly overpowered him, driving him from Romania. In the 1940s, after roaming the world for many years, Alucard settled in an early Detroit. He soon learned that monsters were beginning to plague the city and had a special sword fashioned for him by goblins.

In the present day, Alucard is seen hunting down a djinn. He walks into a magic shop owned by a witch named Mallory and fights the djinn. As he does, a cop named Penelope Andrews sees him fighting it and walks into the store. Alucard stops the djinn from possessing her and kills it with his blade.

Alucard is laid back, courageous, and a little cold toward new people. He has trust issues because of what his father did to him and says that he trusts monsters better than humans because, according to him, "monsters do not lie about what they are. Unlike humans."

## Appearance
