Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Who was Count Dracula? "
...
'Count Dracula' the vampire, is the title character of Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic, horror novel Dracula. He is thought to be both, the prototypical and the archetypal vampire.
His character is believed to be inspired by the 15th century Wallachian Prince Vlad III the Impaler, a warrior of great status, who was also known as Dracula.
He is an undead, centuries-old vampire, and a Transylvanian nobleman who claims to be a Szekely descended from Atilla the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass, and unlike the vampires of Eastern European folklore, which are portrayed as repulsive, corpse-like creatures, Dracula wears a veneer of aristocratic charm. He had a mighty brain, a learning beyond compare, and a heart that knew no fear and no remorse. There is no branch of knowledge of his time that he did not know. He studied the black arts and had deep knowledge of alchemy and magic. For centuries, he was spoken of as the cleverest, the most cunning, and the bravest of the sons of the land beyond the forests.
Dead and buried in a great tomb in the chapel of his castle, Dracula returns from the dead as a vampire and lives for several centuries in his castle with three terrifyingly beautiful females.
Some movies about Dracula include; Bram Stoker's Dracula, Hotel Transylvania, Van Helsing, Blade: Trinity.
Though a figment of the imagination, this epitome of evil, seems to be as alive and as fearsome today, as he was centuries ago.
