The Count is a vampire who loves to count numbers, and is also apart of Elmo and R. Kelly's gang, The Mysterious Five. Unlike Abby and Grover, though, the Count was part of the group since it was founded, and from what we learned about his past, he used to enjoy sucking blood, until he started to enjoy sucking kids.

He was introduced into the Image Story Universe by Cody Harrington, the creator and writer of the story he appears in.

## **Biography**

Count is 1,832,652 years old, he loved counting numbers before the horrible stuff came to Sesame Street, now he enjoys sucking kids instead, but not for blood. He worked alongside Big Bird and Elmo in their Child Trafficking Schemes. From what is known about the past of the Mysterious Five, the Count was apart of the group since the beginning and didn't replace anyone.

***Under the Boardwalk 5: The Mysterious Five***

The Count is the second member of the Mysterious Five that we are introduced to in the story, and he is tasked with killing Jared Fogle after the death of Abby CaDabby.

Jared and crew don't actually run into the Count for a while, since he old as frick, it took him a while to get to their location. They encounter him after Bill and Lucy got them out of the crowd of gay dudes trying to break into their car in Scissor Town, South Dakota, where Lucy isn't paying attention to the road and hits somebody with the car.

The person they hit is revealed to be none other than the Count, and after Jared and Chris get out of the car to see what the problem is, Chris explains that they needs the Count dead because he is part of the Mysterious Five. The Count then exclaims that his back hurts from getting hit, and then he tries to attack Jared (it's not really explained how, but he does), and after trying to attack Jared 8 times, he collapses and passes out.

The Count is then killed after Chris Hansen pulls out and wooden stake, and stabs the Count in the heart, turning him into nothing but a pile of ash.

## **Personality**

The Count has a bit more personality than the rest of the members of the Mysterious Five. While he is still evil, he has more defined traits, such as his love for counting, and his bloodlust.

## **Trivia**

* The Count is currently the oldest Image Story character known to man.
* Despite the Count only appearing in one small scene of the story and being killed off pretty easily, the other author, Luke Rosenbaum, had originally wished that there was more to the Count and thought he was a character who deserved more screen time and personality.
