Dracula

"I'm sure you've heard the stories, the tales, myths, legends, and rumors. Do try to contain your fear, Mia. It would be quite...a shame if terror dulled this extraordinary event. After all, it's not every day you meet...Dracula, the true Original Vampire, the vampire that began all vampires."

— Dracula, to Mia

Count Vladislaus Dracula, born Vlad III Tepes, also known as and called other names like Alucard, Count, Drake, Vlad the Impaler, or simply and more famously Dracula, and even Drac for short, is the oldest, most legendary, most famous and most powerful vampire of all time ever known, having gained his supernatural powers, psychic abilities, and immortality by making a deal with the Devil, Lucifer himself.

Being known as "The King of all the Vampires" and possessing unique abilities far beyond that of any vampires, including the Alpha Elders, he sold his story and became a huge celebrity in both supernatural and human society, but was considered by many to be a mere myth. He is closely associated with Vlad Tepes, or Vlad The Impaler.

Because of his reputation and his demonic-vampiric powers and form, Dracula has often been called "The son of the Devil."

As of now, Dracula continues to lead his vampiric children and has been let off by the Order, guaranteed that he only feeds on evil humans. His relationship with the Team is still, however, uneasy, although he has given up any resentment he had towards them and granted them all clearance of their acts against the Vampire kind, he is not their official ally, but more of a frenemy.

History[]

Early Life[]

Although not a lot is known about his childhood life, Dracula was born in ancient Sumerian over 3600 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. Dracula was was once a great, proud and noble man and an honorable warrior. He was well-liked and loved in his family. A count of great wealth, he lived in a luxurious castle on a hill. A direct descendant of the Biblical Abel as well ad Attila the Hun, Dracula comes from a long bloodline of warriors and heroes.

Elisabeta's Suicide[]

In 3629 BC, Dracula returned from a horrific battle to find his wife, Elisabeta, had committed suicide after receiving a false report of his death. Enraged that his wife was now damned for committing suicide, Dracula desecrated his chapel and renounced God, declaring that he will rise from the grave to avenge Elisabeta with all the powers of darkness. In a fit of rage, he stabbed a cross with his sword and drank the blood which poured out of it.

Demise[]

After a while, Dracula went on a rampage, and killed many innocent people: men, women, and children, only for him to eventually be killed by the Archangel Gabriel himself. When Dracula died, his spirit was sent to Hell and a group of demons took him to their master and king, the fallen archangel Lucifer himself. When Dracula met Lucifer face-to-face, Dracula begged Lucifer to give him a new life and rise with the powers of darkness.

Becoming the first Vampire[]

Lucifer greatly accepted Dracula's offer, but only if Dracula swore to drink the blood of other lives. Dracula agreed and then two of Lucifer's fallen angels took Dracula to the monster realm known as Purgatory, taking him to the Turok-Han Queen. Once there, Dracula was then captured by many Turok-Han Drones, and then taken to her lair. As the Queens brood managed to capture the human, the mortal was subjugated to days of intense torture and pain before she appeared before him. She cut open her arm, allowing her blood to flow into his mouth. The mere mortal was transformed, turning into the first vampire! In that moment, everything physical about Dracula, his speed, strength, stamina, agility, endurance, reflexes, healing process, and senses were all heightened to superhuman levels.

Then Dracula returned to Lucifer and he declared the Fallen Archangel as his master. And dying, coming back to life, taking the life of and drinking the blood of his first human life, Dracula became the very first vampire ever created and with help from Lucifer, became immortal and gained powerful psychic powers through the immortality spell. After that, several of Lucifer's fallen angels brought Dracula to the Earth, and Dracula, the Original Vampire and the King of all Vampires, walked the Earth as the very first vampire ever to exist.

Dracula later described his first taste of human blood as euphoric, and after he completed his transition into a vampire, Dracula inherited supernatural speed, strength, agility, senses, healing, and an array of powerful psychic and mind-control powers upon their transformation.

Rule over Earth[]

Dracula had then sired other vampires and built his own race, but the archangel Gabriel stripped himself of his grace and became mortal to stop Dracula as a human. For the next 400 years, Gabriel tried to stop the Original Vampire and eradicate the entire vampire species, leading to a war between humans and vampires. And along the way, Gabriel fell in love and made a family. After four centuries, he finally defeated the original vampire and sealed Dracula in a coffin and buried the vampire in a tomb deep under the ground. Once Gabriel returned to his status as an archangel, Gabriel then created a family that was made for the specific purpose of killing Dracula and to make sure he'd never return to the world. That family was the family that he made when he fell in love with a human lover, a family called the Van Helsings, like Abraham, Christina and Rayne.

Personality[]

"My child...I was never an ordinary vampire. Or did Oracle never tell you what I used to be? I've killed more men than God's plagues combined. And that was before I started eating people for fun. The fields of Europe used to steam with the blood of my enemies. Trust me...the vampire's the least of your concerns. It's the old man you need to worry about."

— Dracula, to Sidney

Dracula is shown to be sophisticated, educated and outwardly charming but a ruthless killer and as a very cunning and manipulative man, only interested in his personal goals. He has shown almost no emotion. He only cares about himself and his children. Dracula often acts as a calm and cultured being, with a taste for the finer things, however when pushed, he reveals a furious temper, and has no qualms about savagely attacking the source of his anger. He is also cunning and highly intelligent, and he also has a habit of planning ahead.

Personality-wise, Dracula was similar to a vain celebrity; he was deeply convinced of his own superiority and highly aware of his world-wide fame. One vampire described him as both a "poncy bugger" and a "glory hound". Charismatic and handsome, Dracula often inspired fear and respect from those around him, as he said that everybody hates and fears him, becoming visibly annoyed if they were not impressed. However, his pretension hid his true feelings of loneliness, and in recent years, he came to resent his status as a pop culture icon rather than a true and feared figure of evil.

Because of his advanced age and origins in landlocked central Europe, Dracula had an idiosyncratic and often bigoted view of race. He never addresses Renee directly, instead conveying messages through Xander to his "Moor". He also referred to a group of Japanese vampires as "filthy yellow swine" on more than one occasion.

When it came to humans, he, like the majority of his race, regarded them as nothing more than food, and does not care how many were killed; he was, however, more civil when dealing with other monsters, and seemed to think of them as distant relatives. However, when it came to other vampires, he did truly care about them, and considered them all his "children". He took his role as father of their species seriously, acting as both their leader, protector, master, and some have even called him a god. He is also greatly angered when they are harmed or killed. In addition, Dracula is not entirely without humanity, still remembering his human lover fondly and he is greatly angered by how her country did not consider her a hero and how she went to Hell despite her having fought in the wars, believing strongly that just because she committed suicide didn't mean she is not deserving of it. In his eyes, his wife was one of the few humans who could be called a true hero. This was later on used by God to get him to fight against Amara. God did this by reminding Dracula that Elisabeta would never want Dracula to become what he had became. While Dracula pushed back by saying God never bothered to free her from Hell either, he ultimately realizes that God's words is right when God asks Dracula if she would want the Universe destroyed. With this, Dracula's mind is made up and he makes the Monsters agree to join in. All he asked in return is that Elisabeta be saved from Hell and he be given one last moment with her before she forever departs to Heaven. Dracula fought nobly, to the point Rayne chose to give up on hunting him anymore. His last time with his wife seems to have mellowed him, making him hunt evil humans instead. He has seemingly abandoned some of his hatred of God, even genuinely thanking him for allowing him the favor despite all he had did.

Despite being ruthless, he is not above negotiating or knowing when to call it quits.

Powers and Abilities[]

"He's strong, fast, like all vampires. But several principle differences are that he's also completely indestructible...he's unkillable, he's immortal and he's psychic and has the powers of the dark magic. The vampire that began all vampires. However, to function, like all vampires, Dracula needs human blood."

— Rayne to the gang about Dracula's level of power

Being the Original Vampire and as oldest and creator of the vampire species of the supernatural world, Dracula is also the oldest, strongest, fastest, and most powerful vampire in all of creation, making him among the most powerful creatures on Planet Earth. Besides the regular powers of vampires, in addition to possessing superhuman physical abilities, Dracula possesses a number of magical and psychic abilities that makes him a formidable force. In terms of his basic vampire abilities, he does possess an incredibly decent degree of strength and fighting ability, able to send Mia flying in the air with a single punch. Being a primordial vampire, these powers are strengthened when he consumes human blood and may also be augmented by his 5,000 years of age. He possesses all the powers and abilities of normal vampire, only to the highest degree as his powers are the most advanced and superior to future vampires, even the alpha elders. Most of his powers are unique to him as the oldest vampire in the world. When he is in his human form he looks completely normal. However, when he calls upon his powers or when he is thirsty for blood, his upper canines grow into fangs and his eyes turn blood-red. These powers and abilities grow stronger with time, age, and consumption of human blood.

Weakened Powers[]

As the very first vampire to exist, Dracula is the oldest and most powerful vampire in the world. Although he was weakened from the fail-safe put by Gabriel should he ever be unleashed, he is still more powerful than any Alpha Elder and the most powerful Vampire and retains immense vampiric powers.

Superhuman Strength - Being the Original Vampire, even while weakened, Dracula still possesses easily superior strength to 10-100 strong men, making him much stronger than humans, ghosts, shapeshifters, the oldest of normal vampires, and even the Alpha Elders. He could effortlessly shatter stone and wood with his bare hands, crush/reshape metal, dismantle cars, and single-handedly defeat a small army, challenging and overpowering/killing Humans in combat with ease and/or toss them across a room. He ran into a charging army of 1000 men and trampled them and sent them flying through the air with the force of a stampeding animal. Eventually, he slaughtered them all, proving himself as a literal one man army. He has demonstrated sufficient strength strong enough to tear off limbs, rip out throats bare-handed, and snap chains and casually hurl grown men through the air. His strength is so great that he could stop a werewolf in human form in his tracks with one finger and throw a large equipment that was thrown at him by Frankenstein's Monster. Even at this level, he was already capable of ultimately triumphing over Rayne.
Superhuman Speed - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula possesses immense speed, even to other Vampires, and is much faster than humans, shapeshifters, the oldest of normal vampires, and even the Alpha Elders. Dracula can move too much faster than the human eye can follow and can swiftly chase down animals, dodge/side-step bullets fired at him at point-blank range, and outmaneuver and effortlessly dodge their attacks, no matter what effort his human adversaries put into their attacks. He can exceed the sound barrier when running at full speed. He moves around short and long distances rapidly making him look like a blur. However, at his weakened state, he is slower enough for Rayne to be able to keep up with him, although he ultimately outpaced her, proving himself to be still a bit faster.
Heightened Superhuman Senses - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula's heightened senses and aura perception are heightened to 11, allowing him to see far into the distance and see the blood in the veins of his opponents. Dracula can hear, see in total darkness, and has superior senses of smell, taste, and hearing compared to vampires that is better than humans and can also sense things that breathers can't. This was shown in "Eclipse" when he knew Sydney was trying to leave the castle. He can taste garlic and vervain in one's blood and hear sounds from afar. He can even see past the night sky to see the galaxy and all the stars in it clearly. His hearing allowed him to hear a spider trapping its prey as if it were large and were echoing throughout the forest.
Superhuman Agility - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula possesses superior agility, even to other Vampires, humans, and shapeshifters and his agility and balance is superior to humans. He is highly flexible, can scale sheer surfaces, and jump very high several feet in the air with inhuman balance. The Count's movement and reflexes are well beyond the human norm.
Super Accelerated Healing Factor - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula has regenerative abilities and he can heal from all non-fatal injuries, including disabilities and gunshots, even ones to his head, faster than humans. Dracula's undead, immortal flesh heals in seconds from any wound without causing him any seeming discomfort. He is impervious to disease and heals instantaneously from any bodily wound of any severity and is immune to disease. Consuming blood speeds up the process. He can return from the dead by sunlight with some blood, with his body fully restored.
Superhuman Durability - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula's endurance is beyond human and even that of other vampires.
Immortality - Being the Original Vampire, as a walking corpse, like all vampires, Dracula is immortal, is not subject to the passing of time, and has an infinite lifespan, as he no longer possesses a lifespan nor does he age or decay. But the only way he is able to sustain it is to drink the blood of humans. He is over 5,000 years old but looks in his 40s. He made a deal with the Devil, or Lucifer, to live forever. He heals from any wound of any severity and is immune to all forms of illnesses, toxins, poisons, or disease. Dracula's undead status makes him exempt from both physical aging and other dangers that would kill a living body, such as toxins and diseases. However, he needs to feed on human blood to sustain that life. He maintains the youth and health of an attractive young man despite having surpassed the lifespan of an average healthy human and heals from all non-fatal injuries. Consuming blood speeds up the process and will allow him to maintain his vitality. If he is damaged at all, whatever damage he experiences will instantaneously be gone as though there was no damage the moment after. Dracula can even live in a dormant state for centuries without having to feed on people, though when he awakens from these long periods of slumber his bloodlust can be near insatiable.

They will then awaken in another place hours later and will adjust to their new traits and senses. If they do not drink blood for the span of three days, they will become human again by the morning of the last day. If they do drink blood, their condition will be inreversable and all consuming as they will have the ability to influence the weather, far less humanity and moral capability, and an intense fear for Christian ornaments, such as a crucifix, which they persevere as glowing red and having an intense light, though Dracula himself seemed unafraid as he was less feral than the other vampires he created and he knew it was only a cross.
Limited Shapeshifting - Dracula can take on the form and voice of another person. Using transmogrification, he is able to transform into various nocturnal animals, such as taking on the form of a bat, a swarm of bats, a wolf, a dog, a snake, panthers, a swarm of rats, a werewolf, a demonic bat-human hybrid, a humanoid demon, a fiery giant bird, and can also assume a cloud of misty smoke/fog, which allows him to easily dodge attacks.

With it, he could reduce anyone into a Renfield-like state, making those he controls refer to him as his master, dedicated to please him in order to become a vampire themselves, turn against their friends, eat insects and spiders and even change their mannerisms and posture into something resembling an Igor. However, Dracula's influence on a Slayer doesn't totally remove their free mind but makes them willing and submissive if not hesitant.

Full Powers[]

After drinking from the blood of a Slayer, Dracula regains full power, becoming amongst the most powerful creatures in existence on planet Earth. All his previous powers are enhanced and he gains new ones as well. In his true demonic bat form, all of his powers are boosted. Dracula not only possesses superhuman physical abilities, but also psychic and magical powers which make him a formidable force. Being a primordial version of vampire, these powers were strengthened when he consumed human blood and may also be augmented by his 5,000 years of age. When he is in his human form he looks completely normal. However, when he calls upon his powers or when he is thirsty for blood, his upper canines grow into fangs and his eyes turn blood-red. Also, as the oldest vampire in the world, these powers grow stronger with time, age, and consumption of human blood. His new powers are:

Supernatural Strength - Being the Original Vampire and as the first and oldest of his vampire kind in existence, older than even the Alpha Elders, with his full power restored, Dracula possesses the tremendously immense physical strength, even for a Vampire, of 10-100 or more so strong men, which far surpasses that of any other Vampire, including the Alpha Elders. Dracula's advanced age and experience gives him a physical advantage over all vampires seen to date, as he is even considerably far much stronger than some demons, alpha elder vampires, original and non-original hybrids, any other average non-original vampires, shapeshifters, slayers, priests, supernatural hunters, and humans. His strength is so great he could stop a werewolf, whilst in human form, in his tracks with one finger and throw a large equipment that was thrown at him by Adam. He held/restrained and broke Logan's neck with one hand when coming out of desiccation, when Logan himself possessed enhanced strength. He can single-handedly defeat a large army and overpower an Alpha Elder-Werewolf hybrid with ease. He is able to decapitate other species, even younger vampires, with a simple, single swiping chop of his hand/arm, shatter windows and doors with even the smallest objects, throw people through walls, tear out the hearts of younger vampires and other creatures, and punch an untransformed werewolf with enough force to tear off one side of his face and was able to single handedly overpower and kill a fully transformed werewolf with ease. He is also able to go toe-to-toe with the Original Hybrid, Petrova while she is enraged, although Petrova's raw strength is so great, not only Dracula's immense superhuman strength, but also superior combat skills allowed him to prevail. He was even able to fight adequately against Petrova even when she was in her wolf form, even while he himself was in human form, although he was disadvantaged heavily. His strength is such that he said it once took a three demons to restrain him, even after being continually filled with dead man's blood and right after receiving two further doses of dead man's blood directly to the neck. He is also even able to hold his own well against and even defeat some of the Turok-Hans, pushing even the Queen away with one arm with great force and being able to overpower 12 Drones and fight near equally with dozens of Hive Gurdians. His Demon-Vampire form boosts his power. After his transformation into his true Demon vampire form, his formidable strength was further enhanced, as shown when he was able to single handedly overpower and kill fully trained vampire slayers and hunters with ease and when he lifted a massive, solid stone door to reach the Turok-Han Queen, pull down a helicopter from midair using one of its cables, and he is even strong enough to overpower Rayne in this form, who possess even greater strength than him in his human as well as fight against Oracle himself and push him away long enough to flee in their altercations, although not enough to actually rival Oracle, as even being the most powerful Vampire, even he would not be able to match a Seraph or Archangel-level strength, but is stronger than Malakhim and in his Demon Bat Form, Dracula is stronger than even Powers and as strong as Cherubim. Mostly, Dracula would use surprise and at times, brief combat in his human form, which could barely fight Oracle, before turning into his demon form and tossing him away. Draculas' strength is enough that he could kill twelve Hybrids singlehandedly, and was able to fight and kill twenty four Vampires single-handedly with only little difficulty. He was also able to fight against Rayne after she was enhanced on almost equal terms, although Rayne's raw strength is so great that only Dracula's somewhat superior combat skills allowed him to at times somewhat rival Rayne's and gain the upper hand. Prior to Rayne gaining full power, she is shown to be no match for Dracula. Due to his advanced age, like regular non-original vampires and even the original vampires, Dracula grows stronger with time and age as his strength increases over time, his muscular physique is much more defined and his muscle mass is enhanced.
Supernatural Speed - Being as the Original Vampire, Dracula is and can run incredibly much faster than original vampires, any other non-original vampires, shapeshifters, slayers, priests, supernatural hunters, and humans and can outmaneuver most other Immortals, with his intensified quickness, agility, reflexes, and endurance making him faster than any supernatural creature. He ranks as one of the fastest creatures seen on the show, barring those who can teleport. Dracula can move at great blurring speeds faster than human and swift animals that make his appear almost invisible, and accelerate his movements to cover short distances in an instant, faster than the human or vampire eye can see. He was also able to take both Sidney and Nigel out of the cave without anyone noticing. He was able to dump Nigel on the shore of the Island and get back to Sidney by the time she woke up. His speed in his human form is on par with that of Rayne after she was enhanced and before that, he is faster than the Dhampir and could easily outpace her and attack before she could react. He is also able to stop other supernatural species in their tracks, run miles in mere minutes, and can easily catch up to any species of creature, supernatural or not. His reflexes are so great, that even in a near desiccated state he was able to move his arm fast enough to surprise a 300+ year old vampire, when grabbing Logan. Dracula is also faster than an aplha elder vampire, seeing how easily he was able to stop Verlaine in her tracks. He can use this ability in human or even demon vampire form. However, his speed is not on par with that of Oracle or an Archangel, but has proven he could surprise them with sufficient advantage. As with strength, this attribute increases with time and age. As he gets older, his speed and he himself also grows faster with time.
Heightened Supernatural Senses - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula has extremely far more enhanced sense of hearing, sight, smell, and taste inherent in the vampire species which is better than and that far exceed those of any regular vampires, werewolves, hybrids and humans. His senses improve over time.
Supernatural Agility - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula's agility and balance is superior to any other supernatural creature and humans, as he possesses even much more superhuman speed, stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility and dexterity than any alpha elder vampires, non-original vampires, shapeshifters, slayers, priests and humans. He can move very quick, jump very high, twist, flip, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion and is seen leaping from high places and landing with ease. These abilities improve with time.
Supernatural Regenerative Healing Factor - As being the Original Vampire, Dracula has the enhanced Vampiric regenerative ability that allows him to heal from just about almost any given injury and damage in a matter of seconds much faster than others, given his age and status. The injuries of Dracula heal much faster than those of other supernaturals and humans. Dracula can snap his finger bones back into place after being broken and can fully recover/heal/regenerate from any and all injuries in a matter of seconds much quicker and more effectively than any original vampire, non-original vampire, werewolf, hybrid, skinwalker, slayer, priest, and human, such as gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement. He is also able to heal from a sword driven through his mouth and quickly recovers from burns caused by exposure to sunlight. Dracula also seems to heal much more quickly when exposed to vervain or wood. After becoming the Demon Vampire, his regeneration is further enhanced. He is able to recover from various injuries due to being partially crushed by a truck in little more than a day. He can also even heal a werewolf bite.
Soul Reading - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula has the ability to sense that a person, such as Sidney, had no soul.
Enhanced Supernatural Endurance - Dracula has demonstrated a drastically augmented pain threshold, easily enduring any and all forms of torture that Rayne and Oracle could devise. Dracula is capable of taking a considerable amount of damage and still fighting back. When going against a werewolf, he was able to keep fighting despite the Lycan's clever use of sunlight to inflict burns on him, and survived being stabbed through the mouth with a large sword. During his fight with Rayne, he is punched and clawed several times, yet he continues to get back up without suffering any debillitation.
Supernatural Durability - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula's endurance is beyond human, as he can withstand a great amount of damage and take far more trauma than any other vampires, werewolves, originals, hybrid and human can without much discomfort or injury. Vervain, wood, silver, and even a White Oak Stake do not weaken him, making him practically indestructible. Wood seems to be ineffective at weakening him.
Emotional Control - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula has a limited degree of control over his own emotions, allowing him to switch off his humanity making killing easier for him. He can "switch off" his ability to feel emotions - such as fear or guilt - allowing him to kill and feed without remorse and to go up against any opponent without fear. This power also relieves him of depression or sadness.
Immortality - Being the Original Vampire and as the oldest vampire in the world, Dracula is immortal, has an infinite lifespan, does not physically age and will live eternally forever, provided he has a steady supply of blood and is not decapitated. He is not a millisecond past his absolute physical prime, and is immune to aging. Nothing except the Blade of the Van Helsings, can kill him. He is well over 5,000 years old, having endured through centuries of rain, fire, ice, and continental divide. He made a deal with the Devil to live forever, the act of not aging or succumbing to any human illnesses. He heals from any wound of any severity and is immune to all forms of illnesses, toxins or poisons. He does not need to eat, drink, or breathe. He has eternal youthful beauty with perfect features, flawless smooth skin. He also possesses an eidetic memory and highly cunning intelligence. However, unlike all other known immortals, even other vampires, hybrids, and including the other Original Vampirers, Dracula is truly and unconditionally immortal and can't be killed by any man-made weapon.
Advanced Immunity - Being truly and unconditionally immortal, Dracula is immune to all known weaknesses of the vampires. He's immune to wooden weapons, sunlight, vervain, and werewolf bites and is able to walk freely in a home without being invited first.
Vampiric Weakness Immunity - Unlike all of them, Dracula can't be killed by silver, stakes, crossbows, or holy weapons. Dracula is also immune to fire and survived a direct stake to the heart without too much damage. Dracula can also enter the house of human beings without an invitation. Dracula is also immune to silver, a werewolf bite, and even to sunlight.
Vampire Demon Form - He has the ability to turn into a large bat creature unlike regular vampires, including the Originals. In this form he can fly, move at alarming speeds and strong enough to fight a alpha werewolf and the first hybrid.
Powers of Darkness - Being the Original Vampire and an undead creature, Dracula has the powers of darkness on his side, blessing him with limited telepathic abilities to close doors, extinguish fires and the ability to vanish and reappear.
Bat Swarm - Being the Original Vampire, Dracula holds dominion over the night and all its creatures. He can call upon bats to do his will V after feeding on his wife to save their son and can transform into a swarm of bats at will. His clothing and anything he holds, like his sword etc. also dematerializes into bats with him.

He later broke it and stashed the pieces in his castle, losing it's power as part of the agreement he made with the other Alphas in exchange for taking full command only for the war.

Weaknesses[]

Despite being truly immortal and although he is the Original Vampire and is incredibly powerful in his own right, Dracula has some weaknesses of his own, but as the oldest and most powerful vampire in the supernatural world, he has fewer, even in comparison to the Alpha Elders.

The Blade of the Van Helsings - Being specifically designed to kill Dracula and as a very powerful weapon, it is the only weapon on Planet Earth that can permanently kill and fatally harm Dracula. It comes from the energy of an Angel Blade. However, it will only work if it is in the hands of a Van Helsing.
Desiccation - If Dracula is abstaining from blood for extended amounts of time, he will eventually desiccate into mummification. A lack of blood for a prolonged period of time will cause Dracula to weaken and begin to resemble a corpse. Being completely drained of blood or the heart stopping will cause Dracula to desiccate like any other vampire, losing most of his strength and any ability to move. The desiccated Dracula will appear as a corpse and can only start functioning again once he feeds on blood. This process can be replicated artificially by a witch casting a desiccation spell. It's unknown if Dracula would desiccate if his heart was torn out; however, it seems that his body is indestructible, therefore it is possible his heart cannot be extracted.
Angelic Blade - Dracula can be killed or at the very least fatally-harmed by stabbing him with an angelic blade.
- Archangel Blade - Archangels have their own angelic blades that are more powerful than normal angelic blades. An Archangel blade is capable of killing Dracula.
- Angel Blade Bullets - Bullets forged from melted-down angel blades were shown to be effective against Dracula.
Stakes - A wooden stake through the heart will temporarily neutralize Dracula. Even when stabbed through the heart with a stake fashioned from the wood of a White Oak tree will make Dracula appear as if he was dead, but he will revive within a few hours.
Vervain - Even for one as powerful as himself, Vervain doesn’t prevent Dracula from compelling anyone on it, but it does burn him on touch. However, he will heal extremely quickly from vervain wounds.
Magic - As powerful as he is, even Dracula is susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. One powerful witch was able to bury and immobilize Dracula in a tomb while Willow had temporarily petrified him. It is said that a witch with enough power can kill/dangerously affect a being as powerful as Dracula. Minor spells have little effect.
Broken Neck - Breaking Dracula's neck will not kill him, but it will render him unconscious for several hours.
Higher beings - Higher beings, such as the Seraphim, Archangels and the Primordial Beings, can kill Dracula without effort, despite his immortality.
