Count Dracula, often known as simply Dracula, is a vampire from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel of the same name. He's become a pop culture icon over the years, having made many appearances in films, TV series, books, video games, comics etc, and his status as an icon of horror has influenced vampires in media for decades.

His character over the years has developed and changed somewhat from his original novel appearance, such that many readers during Dracula Daily were a little surprised at certain aspects of his character that hadn't been as frequently translated in subsequent adaptations, such as Dogula or his lizard-like way of climbing down the castle walls. Though mainstream media seems to focus on the Count, often emphasising the erotic subtextual nature of his feeding on Lucy and Mina, Dracula Daily fans were much more endeared by both his gradual menace and terror, and the comedy vibes of him as a host to Jonathan, with most of the sexual interpretations of his character being in regards to the homoeroticism between him and his guest.
