Alpha Vampire

The **Alpha Vampire**, also known as *Dracula*, was the very first vampire and progenitor of all other vampires. He is the son of Eve - a Leviathan hybrid. Dracula was killed by Sam Winchester with the Colt.

## History

It is unknown exactly how old he is, but he mentions he was "the thing in the dark" when humans first discovered fire, as well has having lived through "continental divide", implying he's hundreds of thousands of age.

When asked, he admitted to knowing about the leviathans, correlating to his age. He was created by Eve, like all the other alpha monsters, and is implied to have been the very first monster she created.

He created an entire race of vampires across the world that soon populated into a new civilization. He kept close tabs on his "children" while continuing to populate the world with Vampires for many years. Dracula gained fearsome reputations and a great many enemies.

## Physical Appearance

Dracula appears as an attractive caucasion man with curled dirty blonde hair and dark blue-green eyes that contrasts with his pearl-white skin. He is well-built and possesses a delicate yet masculine face. According to vampire legend, Dracula is "well endowed" but the validity of this myth is unconfirmed and Dean believes him to have spread it in the first place.

His true Alpha Vampire face appears identical to that of a turned Vampire except the sclera of his eyes turns semi-black instead of blood-shot and his irises shine a flat yellow.

## Powers and abilities

### Vampire powers

It is extremely likely that Dracula, as the first Vampire in existence, possesses all the common powers of a Vampire but to much heightened levels as well as the "old powers" native to a vampire of his age. He has demonstrated the following;

* **Immortality:** Dracula could live forever, provided he has a steady supply of blood and is not killed by extraordinary means. He was present when man first discovered fire and lived through, in his words, "centuries of rain, fire, ice, and continental divide".
* **Superhuman Senses:** He had enhanced sight, hearing, and smell which is inherent within all Vampires but to a much higher degree.
* **Superhuman Strength:** As the first vampire in existence, the Alpha Vampire was considerably stronger than humans, most demons, and all vampires. His strength is such that it took three middle tier demons to restrain him while considerably weakened. Dracula was referred to as the strongest monster in the world able to overpower most species effortlessly. He was able to decapitate other species with a single chop of his bare hands, shatter windows and doors with small objects, and single-handedly tear out the hearts of younger vampires and other creatures with little to no effort.
* **Superhuman Speed:** The Alpha Vampire can move at speeds much faster than any human and most monsters. He ranks as one of the fastest creatures seen on the show, barring those who can teleport.
* **Stealth:** Like his children, Dracula was inhumanly stealthy, however to a much greater degree, that allowed him to simulate teleportation. He was able to escape a cage within seconds after releasing himself, without damaging any of the cage bars, to sneak up to highly experienced (and alert) hunters, and to disappear from their sight with ease.
* **Enhanced Resilience:** The Alpha Vampire had demonstrated a drastically augmented pain threshold, easily enduring any and all forms of torture that Samuel or Crowley could devise, such as electroshocks and injection of dead people's blood. He was also able to still function at his peak despite the torture, allowing him to not only break free when given the opportunity, but also defeat several humans, and kill one of them before demons arrived and restrained him.
* **Siring:** Like all Vampires, he was capable of converting a human and a few other species into a creature of the night. He would do this by draining the body of another of their blood before feeding the person some of his own. The chosen would then slumber with no heart rate for any time between a few minutes to few hours or even a few days where upon awakening need to drink human blood.

### Alpha Powers

* **Extendable Fingernails:** Dracula was able to make his fingernails grow at will, extending them long enough to cut through his bonds.
* **Sire-Bond:** As the first Vampire, the Alpha possessed a supernatural link to the rest of Vampire kind which grants him a number of unique abilities including;
	+ **Summoning:** Dracula could "call" his progeny by saying their true name out loud, causing the progeny to become aware that he is calling out for them. The sire experiences a shiver, and may be able to tell where the Alpha is. Dean once called it his "psychic bat-signal".
	+ **Mind Compulsion:** He could force his progeny to do anything he wanted even if he wasn't physically in their presence but communicating with them through a phone call.
* **Soul Reading:** The Alpha Vampire had the ability to sense that Sam had no soul.
* **Connection to Eve:** Although all monsters have a connection to Eve, the Alphas seem to have a more direct link to her, even across dimensions. Through this connection, she was able to give the Alpha Vampire orders to prepare for the upcoming war, and to "recruit" more monsters.
* **Invulnerability:** Due to his status as one of the oldest monsters on Earth, the Alpha Vampire had a high degree of invulnerability. When discussing options for fighting him, Sam Winchester suggests that the Anti-Vampire Device which easily kills lesser vampires might only slow him down a little. Wood seems to be ineffective at weakening him, though being stabbed in the heart with it could incapacitate him for several minutes until they recover. The only weapon known to be able to cause him permanent harm is the Colt which can kill all but a few things in existence.

### Magical Powers

* **Witchcraft:** Attributed to his extraordinarily long lifespan and accumulation of knowledge, the Alpha was very well-versed and trained in the arts of magic. When casting a spell, his irises will become flooded with a cyan-ish radiance in contrast to Natural Witches purple glow.
	+ **Astral projection:** Dracula has displayed the ability to magically send a projection of himself to another location. Though the projection is not tangible it is highly realistic.
	+ **Power Bestowal:** He was able to brand Caliban with a mystical sigil that granted him access to a limited set of supernatural abilities separate from his inherent set.

## Weaknesses

1. The Colt
2. Hordes of Demons
3. High-Tier Angels
4. Witchcraft
5. Leviathans
6. Sunlight - though it won't kill him the Alpha could be harmed by direct exposure to sunlight with prolonged contact engulfing him in fire.

## Trivia

* According to Rowena Macleod, the death of the Alpha Vampire left a massive void in the balance of power within the supernatural world which has resulted in numerous individuals racking up formerly Dracula held territory/authority as well as some attempts to resurrect the Alpha.
	+ He also hemorrhaged enough mystical energy during his death to stain the earth with his power which was sufficient, if harnessed, to open a door into Purgatory for a brief moment.
* It was believed by the Men of Letters and the supernatural community as a near whole that if the Alpha Vampire died then all vampires sired through his blood would die as well. Seeing as virtually all vampires have his blood flowing through them as he is responsible for the entirety of vampire civilisation, his death would eliminate all vampires from the face of the earth. However, when he died no such event occured.
	+ The reason for this belief was that Vetala's, Rugarus, and Khan worms all died out when their alphas died.
