* AmbiguousStartOfDarkness: It's left unclear exactly when Dracula descended into the feared vampire lord he was when he met Lisa. While the series focuses a lot more on Dracula's weariness of humans, Leon Belmont's cameo appearance in a portrait and alluded history hint that he still might have backstabbed him in return for vampirism in this continuity.

The BigBad of the series and the '''"King of Vampires"''', Vlad {{Dracula}} Ţepeş. A powerful vampire whom secluded himself in his castle before being visited by a woman named Lisa, that event would end up changing his life forever. Unfortunately the Church got a hold of his wife and burned her at the stake after condemning her as a witch. Consumed by sorrow and pure raw rage, he now seeks vengeance on all of humanity for his loss, condemning them all to genocide... [[spoiler:After his death in Season 2, he is now in Hell alongside his beloved wife. Before being pulled back out of it by Death and Saint Germain in the fourth season's finale.]]

* BeyondRedemption: Alucard tried to reason with him and talk him out of his plan to KillAllHumans, insisting that while he grieves with his father over Lisa's death, he will ''not'' allow him to commit genocide; in response, Dracula attacks him and puts him in a coma for a year. By the time Trevor and Sypha find him and wake him up, Alucard has concluded that Dracula can't be reasoned with and has to be killed.

* ShatteredSanity: The transmission mirror that Dracula used to talk to the people of Wallachia is made up of several smaller mirror pieces that split apart when not in use. Just after he finishes making his genocidal threat after the church burned his wife at the stake, we see the mirror pieces brielfy pause before shattering apart while Dracula's reflection is in them, symbolizing his newfound insanity.

Added DiffLines:

* WillfullyWeak: Much as he is committed to the genocide of humanity in his rage, he is not so committed about his health and has steadily refused to feast for months by the time the heroes fight him and is in no interest to feed any time soon after [[spoiler:had he survived the battle]], weakening himself severely in the process and lacking any form of commitment to actually putting up a fight comparable to his prime. It ''still'' doesn't prevent it from being a complete CurbStompBattle where the heroes barely are able to stand back up against him let alone actually stand together. [[spoiler:In the end, they completely fail to even best him in combat, as Dracula only ''allows'' himself to die after having [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone a realization]] that he was murdering the last living trace of his wife he had left in his rage and couldn't continue going on like this.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Despite being just a VampireMonarch rather than an EldritchAbomination. In the games Dracula is routinely defeated by the Belmonts and was once beaten by Alucard. In this series, Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard all working together ''still'' couldn't beat him, and he would have '''''WON''''' if not for his VillainousBSOD.

Does not fit current criteria for the trope (it must be brought up that it's not socially acceptable to hit a girl).


* WouldHitAGirl: Dracula didn't hesitate in any of his attempted fatal blows against Sypha. She only barely blocked one of his swipes, and it still left a bloody gash in her shoulder. Throughout the rest of the series, the scars from that strike are still there, showing that Dracula wasn't going easy on her.

** Calling him a {{Jerkass}} for openly distrusting his War Council might be a bit of a stretch, since they're all barbaric vampire lords so it's KickTheSonOfABitch at worst. The reason why Dracula trusts Isaac and Hector over his own kind is met with criticism from the Council, notably Godbrand. Dracula then points out that the former two joined out of loyalty while the others only came because of their hunger of blood. His statement is proven right when the Council do plan a coup against him with Isaac being the only one by his side while Hector is being tricked by Carmilla to join her.
