History Characters / DraculaUntold

* TheHero: He's shown to be this, being a devoted family man and dedicated protector of his kingdom. Though it ultimately get {{subverted}} in a [[AntiHero predictable way]], there were a few hints that this iteration of the character didn't quite fit the mold, considering he ''did'' earn the name of "the Impaler."

%% * ActionDad: Vlad Dracula to his son.

* EvilGenius: TheChessmaster variant, verging on MagnificentBastard. He plays Vlad like a harp, out-thinking him every. Single. Time. The only reason he doesn't ''win'' is a last minute burst of HeroicWillpower (plus some inopportune EvilGloating).

* ComboPlatterPowers: He has all of [[Literature/{{Dracula}} his novel counterpart's]] powers cranked up to {{Up to Eleven}}: SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, {{Flight}} (By way of his [[OneToMillionToOne swarm transformation]]), {{Immortality}}[[note]]Immune to all forms of death except [[WeakenedByTheLight sunlight]], [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver]], and [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice staking]][[/note]], VoluntaryShapeshifting, SuperReflexes, SuperSenses with a side order of VeinOVision, HealingFactor, TheBeastmaster and WeatherManipulation.

* CanonCharacterallAlong: While initially set up as a character created to serve the role as Vlad's wife, [[spoiler: she dies and is reincarnated as [[Literature/{{Dracula}} Mina Harker]]]].

* FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire: He only agrees to become a vampire in the first place to protect his family and his people and must not feast on blood at all costs for three days, or else, he will be forever damned. [[spoiler:Even when he does so, its to retain the necessary power to save his son and remains noble and heroic all the way through]].

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Played with. While he certainly got his hand dirty at points, or ordered his people to do so ([[RapePillageAndBurn the conquest of Constantinople was not clean or bloodless]]), the real Mehmet did not condone forcibly converting people to Islam and had considerable regard for Christianity. Furthermore, the Janissaries were treated more cruelly in the film, and had less opportunities, than in real-life.

* ChekhovsGunman: He shows up in the woods a short scene in the middle of the movie and is forgotten about. Clever tropers will know that he'll be important later. [[spoiler: He shows up after Vlad's HeroicSacrifice, and saves his life by dragging Vlad to shelter and then giving Vlad his blood.]]

* ReligiousVampire: Even though he sought an demonic source to gain the power to defeat his enemies, he still remains a Christian at heart considering the cross has no effect on him and he attends a church while seeking for fortitude against his thirst.

[[folder: Mehmet II]]

* ChekhovsGunman: He shows up in the woods a short scene in the middle of the movie and is forgotten about. Clever tropers will know that he'll be important later. [[spoiler: He shows up after Vlad's HeroicSacrifice, and saves his life by dragging Vlad shelter and then giving Vlad his blood.]]

-->Played by Zach [=McGowan=]

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He acts like a dick to Vlad for very little reason. He even states at one point that he sees very little value in Wallachia - though he may be interested in it as a gateway to the rest of Europe, as the Ottomans historically were.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He gives almost no reasons for his stated goal of conquering the world (though he does suggest that part of it is to get revenge on the one who betrayed him and another is simply that he has very little else to do for all eternity).

%% * AnimalMotifs: The Dragon and bats.

* InformedAttribute: His theoretical cruelty. While several characters state he killed thousands of innocents, we never see him doing any of that - though we do see him impale an Ottoman army and a single vampire.

* WeatherManipulation: Upon fully embracing his identity as a vampire, he is capable of making clouds to blot out the sun, as well generating as thunderstorms. Thunderstorms with a cloud formation that looks like a roaring dragon.

* BadassNormal: He's the villain, but he is a worthy opponent for a nascent Dracula - he doesn't bat an eye at an impaled army, he rolls with the tales of Vlad's new powers, he distracts his soldiers from their fear and gives them more reason to trust him when he leads them on a march blindfolded, leaves a decoy for Vlad to focus on as he tries to invoke a DecapitatedArmy, and then he figures out one of Vlad's weaknesses and lures him into a tent full of silver, very nearly killing him. Not bad, for a mere mortal.

* CrazyPrepared: Scatters thousands of silver coins on the floor, fights with a silver sword, and has dozens of bags filled with more silver tied to the celing waiting to be slashed open in the event of vampire fighting.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He kills two of Vlad's men without hesitation, and when Vlad revisits, he treats Vlad with a degree of politeness when Vlad is unarmed. Though his HairTriggerTemper and ObviouslyEvil mannerisms shine throughout the dialogue.

* InformedAttribute: He is evil and immensely powerful. Beside the heaped skeletal remains on the floor of his cave, none of this is ever showcased.
* InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves: He mentions that a part of the vampire repertoire is to turn on one another, and his first act when he gets out of the cave is to destroy his jailor. [[spoiler: While this appears to be a SelfFulfillingProphecy, there was some vindication when Vlad's army of vampires nearly turned on him to get at his son, though a good argument could be made that they were overcome with gluttony or they might have legitimately believed [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil "freeing" him]] from his last loved one was in his best interest. In the modern day epilogue, the Master Vampire shows up, ready to make Vlad's life difficult.]]

* ReligiousBruiser: See BadassPreacher. He's religious, and he is more than willing to fight vampires, even former friends.

%% * AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: [[spoiler:Becomes the new Prince of Wallachia at the end of the movie after his parents' deaths.]]

* BadassNormal: Has to be one to take on a super-strong vampire warrior in a swordfight.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He acts like a dick to Vlad for very little reason. He even states at one point that he sees very little value in Wallachia.

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite his big talk about conquering the world, he only attacks people who come to his cave. When he's released to the world he does absolutely nothing for more than 500 years. Or at least, nothing that we see - though his dialogue in the final scene suggests that he's been waiting for five hundred years, quite possibly just to screw with Vlad.

* HeroAntagonist: He is presented this way, abhorring Dracula's nature as a vampire and begging to allow to give him a MercyKill, but not realizing that Dracula needs his powers to defend his people from the Turks. By the end, [[spoiler:he and Dracula take the same side against Vlad's [[TranshumanTreachery treacherous vampire army]], saving Ingeras in the process]].
%% * ReligiousBruiser

* AllThereInTheScript: His name is not said onscreen. To the audience he's not much more than an anonymous gut Vlad met in the woods.

* EverythingIsBetterWithPrincesses: She is a Prince's wife and LoveInterest so that is a given.

* InformedAttribute: His evil and immensely powerful. Beside the heaped skeletal remains on the floor of his cave, none of this is ever showcased.

%% * ChildSoldiers: In his backstory, he was given as a tribute to the Ottomans to be reforged into a weapon for them.

%% * BadassNormal: Has to be one to take on a super-strong vampire warrior in a swordfight.
%% * BigBad
%% * CainAndAbel: With Vlad. They are not really brothers, but they have been raised together.
