**Alan Dracula** is the tritagonist of Book Two and the deer companion of Jesse and Lake.

He plays a major role in Book Two, helping Jesse and Lake develop as friends and assisting them in getting off the train.

## Appearance

Alan Dracula is a White-tailed deer with reddish brown fur and antlers. With the ability to shapeshift, Alan has taken on many appearances, including other animals, objects, etc.

One of Alan's most unique features, differentiating him from the previous and preceding companions, are his eyes. He is the first and only one out of Atticus, Tuba and Kez who doesn't have simple, dot-shaped eyes. Instead, Alan has more detailed almond eyes with white highlights, making him seem more like a real deer.

## Personality

While he may seem aloof, Alan Dracula is very loyal and protective of those he sees as friends.

## Powers and Abilities

Alan Dracula is shown to have a variety of strange powers. In an official AMA he was stated to have "every single super power."

## *Infinity Train*

### Book Two - Cracked Reflection

#### The Black Market Car

When M.T. enters the Family Tree Car, he camouflages himself when she hides behind him from the Mirror Police. After they leave, he spends the next two days with M.T. until Jesse Cosay arrives. As the two of them argue about whose deer he is, he falls through the forest floor, which is revealed to be the top of a much larger tree.

#### The Family Tree Car

M.T. and Jesse find him eating leaves at the roots of the tree. He later carries them back to the top on his antlers.

#### The Map Car

He stays with M.T. as Jesse explores the Map Car. When they sail on a compass, he spins his head around during the ride.

#### The Toad Car

He helps M.T. and Jesse escape from the flecs and is lured out of the car with a leaf by M.T. As they shelter in the Toad Car, he turns his head into a paddle ball to pass the time, later transforming his body into pillows so M.T. and Jesse can sleep on him. As the flecs are breaking in, he kicks the toad to open the car door and they escape.

#### The Parasite Car

As the three travel through a car filled with flowers, Alan Dracula becomes infected with a parasite named Perry and tries to fight him off without success as Perry convinces Jesse and M.T. that they're in a symbiotic relationship now. The two eventually realize this is a lie and Alan Dracula has been trying to eject Perry; they help him out, leaving the parasite behind in the Food Pyramid Car.

#### The Lucky Cat Car

When the three find themselves in the Lucky Cat Car, Alan Dracula becomes fixated on eating the fake grass in the claw machine. He eventually gets inside by shrinking down to a small size and M.T. and Jesse frantically try to get him out by playing the claw game. When The Apex raid the car, he and the others are taken to their headquarters.

#### The Mall Car

When they enter the Mall Car, he is brought to the stables by some of the Apex. After M.T. finds and frees him, Simon orders them both to be thrown to the wheels, but Jesse intervenes. Soon after, Grace summons the flecs with a mirror and the trio runs away. Jesse’s number reaches zero and he departs the train, inadvertently leaving M.T. behind with Alan Dracula.

#### The Wasteland

He and M.T. run from the flecs, narrowly escaping being crushed by a wheel. He meets them in the Wasteland and carries a half-crushed Mace away from the train. The further they walk, the more they feel the pull of the train. He shields the two from attacking Ghoms and they head back to the train to escape. After M.T. kills Mace, he comforts her.

#### The Tape Car

After M.T. hijacks a Passenger Transportation Pod, he turns into a half-deer, half-spider monster to scare away the man inside. He then turns into a hood ornament until they reach the Passenger Preparation Car. When they arrive, they find a field of passengers, and they are separated when M.T. sinks into the floor.

#### The Number Car

M.T. and Alan Dracula reunite after she and One-One discover Jesse has returned to the train. When Sieve is trying to drag M.T. back onto the train, she tosses some grass to get the deer's attention and he vaporizes the flec by shooting laser beams from his eyes. After they leave, he is sent back to his car by One-One.

## Trivia

* Alan Dracula is the first and only companion to the main characters who does not have a voice actor/speaking role in the series.
* Alan Dracula was written with the idea that he is the most powerful being on the Infinity Train, only he never directly helps any character, preferring to focus on eating leaves and other vegetation. He only directly helps Jesse and Lake at the end of the season.
* The writers pitched Alan Dracula's relationship with Lake and Jesse as akin to a pet having two owners and thus getting two dinners, based on an experience from Alex Horab's childhood. A Cartoon Network executive recalled also having the same experience during the pitch.
* Alan Dracula seems to have accepted the name that Jesse gave him. This is seen when he turns into a pickle jar in the episode "The Lucky Cat Car", as the label says "Alan Dracula Pickles".
* The writers room came up with the name "Alan Dracula" by chance; Owen Dennis and Alex Horab simultaneously said "Alan" and "Dracula" when trying to name him and they thought the two names combined were perfect.
* Owen Dennis' favourite Alan Dracula joke is when he takes off like a rocket in the "The Number Car." This was the first joke they wrote for Alan and the crew spent the rest of the season making sure he wouldn't use his flying powers until the finale.
* At one point, Alan Dracula was planned to appear in Book 4's "The Party Car", where Min-Gi would have tried to change under a table, only for the table to transform into Alan Dracula and walk away, leaving Min-Gi bare at the party.
