## Biography

Draedon Count is the biological son of Camille and Gaius, human residents in Romania. He was born in 412 AD. It so happens that Gaius, a Roman soldier, is the great-great-grandson of Trajan, one of Dracula's servants and friends. However, after he impregnates Camille, he is killed in a battle, leaving the widow alone and with no means to support the soon-to-be-born child. In a move of compassion and honor of his old friend, Dracula gives aid to Camille and receives them in his castle. Soon Draedon is born, his name given as an honor to the being who saved both her and her mother's lives. The family decides to move to the Dacia province, actually known as Romania, to offer Draculaura the environment he needs. Kind Hearted, Draedon grows to be a happy child, and so did Camilla's and Dracula's relationship, as the vampire promotes her to head of the house and soon falls in love with her. However, as Dracula leaves Dacia to attend an old business in Rome, a plague invades the province, killing many of the inhabitants, in which Camilla is included. Dracula arrives home to find that the love of his life is dead and that Draedon is sick too, so to prevent his death, he adopts him and converts him into a vampire, giving the child immortality and immunity to the plague. From that moment on, he was solely raised by Dracula in the Vampire Court, where he met his friend and fellow monster, Damian Hellstone, and spent most of his days being pampered or attending fabulous balls. Eventually, he started attending high school, in Transylvania, where she met her first girlfriend, Katie Valentine, who secretly intended to fill his heart with love only to break it and add it to her sick collection of broken hearts. Luckily, he escaped when he was sighted by humans, during a picnic, while eating a tomato. The humans mistook Draedon's tomato for blood, calling an angry mob that forced them to run away from home and settle in Scaremerica. While in Scaremerica, Draedon finds himself in the Division of the Worlds, with his father being an important supporter of the New World project, along with figures such as Hexamiah Steam and Grimstone, and stands for equality within the monster races, growing up to be the accepting boo she is, and eventually, he meets Whitney Lykens.
