History Characters / AnnoDracula

* TheQuisling: Happily works for the Central Powers during WW1. Notably doesn't consider himself American after the Civil War.

* TheHero: The co-protagonist of the first novel and easily one of the series best overall human beings.

* IJustWantToBeYou: Genevieve earmarks him as a murgatroyd- basically a desperate Dracula wannabe. This is a subtextual dig at how Yorga was originally written as a Dracula knock-off to get around intellectual property laws.

* NoPronunciationGuide: In and out of universe. Her full name is said the French way and Kim Newman has had to write at least one guide to saying it correctly, explaining that the accent grave (è) changes Genevieve to the French pronunciation of [[https://forvo.com/word/genevi%C3%A8ve/ June-vee-ev]][[note]]The link is clearer on that.[[/note]] as opposed to the English Jen-eh-veev and that the last e in Dieudonné is said as a hard a. In universe, if you didn't know the difference, only recent stories hint that her name is said differently through such examples as her ghosting a guy after a first date because he kept saying her name wrong and a character calling her June and her narration remarking how satisfying it was to get that as her shortened name for once instead of "Jen".

The infamous World War One flying ace himself, as a vampire and the direct titular antagonist of The Bloody Red Baron. Appears only in that novel.

Spymaster and chessmaster leader of the Diogenes Club, brother of The Great Detective, and Charles Beauregard's superior. Appears in Anno Dracula and The Bloody Red Baron. His original source material is [[ArthurConanDoyle Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's]] [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Sherlock Holmes]].

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Forms between Kostaki and Sergeant Daniel Dravot in One Thousand Monsters. It comes off as a surprise to Genevieve and the reader, given what happened between them in Anno Dracula, but Kostaki's POV chapters reveal that they turned out to be Freemason Brothers. Part of their vows being that they are not allowed to kill one another. A strong friendship forms between them born of their brotherhood, [[TheyFightCrime pursuing the mysteries]] of Yokai Town together, bantering, singing and fighting Samurai and Ninjas.

* BashBrothers: With Captain Kostaki in One Thousand Monsters, where they proceed to kick a great deal of ass together [[TheyFightCrime as they investigate]] Yokai Town.

[[folder: Prince Vlad III Tepes "The Impaler" Dracula]]

A vampire aviator for the Allies of World War One, and the future famous vigilante hero known as The Shadow. Appears in The Bloody Red Baron and is mentioned in ''Dracula Cha Cha Cha.'' His original source material is Walter B. Gibson's ''The Shadow.''

* NiceHat: Wears a tasseled fez in Anno Dracula, a helmet in The Bloody Red Baron and a shako and Japanese straw hat in One Thousand Monsters.

* OverarchingVillain: Dracula barely appears in the series, but he casts a long shadow. He is directly or indirectly responsible for most of the main threats in each book, as well as the progenitor of most of the more evil vampires in the series.

* DirtyCoward: When the fighting breaks out between the Dracula royalists and conspiracy Orlok was involved in, and Penelope spots him and calls him out, he doesn't partake in the battle, instead going invisible and hiding until it is over.

* ItsAllAboutMe: The problem many characters have with her is that she sincerely believes in creating a better world, but she also sincerely believes that her being in charge is the only way to do it. She manages to be both passionately egalitarian and incredibly self-centred simultaneously, with Geneviève suspecting that the reason she renounced her title is because people shouldn't be obeying her for anything so unimportant as being a princess; they should be obeying her because she's Christine Light.

* CreativeSterility: Another rare vampire who doesn't suffer from it. She may be crazy but she's readily adapted to the internet at a time when John Alucard is still doing Laser Disc movies. She's got big, bold ideas that includes making herself a god through the internet.

* BaldOfAwesome: Chops his hair and facial hair off by One Thousand Monsters following his defection from the Carpathian Guard.

A mentally disturbed surgeon and co worker of Genevieve's working in London during Prince Dracula's rule. Revealed to be the serial killer Jack The Ripper from the start of the novel. The [[VillainProtagonist antagonist]] of Anno Dracula, the only novel he appears in. His original source material is Bram Stoker's Dracula, combined with the real world Jack The Ripper.

* SociopathicSoldier: Shoots a beagle for no reason (in joke aside) and dispalys no interests other than killing.

* [[LukeIAmYourFather Kostaki, I Am Your Father In Darkness]]: Played with. Anno Dracula reveals that he had his throat torn out by a monster on a battlefield where Kostaki was fighting with Vlad Tepes against the Turks, and that the monster was bleeding from wounds, the blood falling into his mouth and resurrecting him as a vampire. One Thousand Monsters has Kostaki, when his mind is being affected by telepathy, reveal that he was mentally repressing his origin, the true sight he saw the first time he became a vampire. Dracula standing over him, cutting open his hand and feeding it to his dying troops, raising his army of vampires on the battlefield, revealing him to be Kostaki's Father In Darkness. Dracula was undoubtedly the one who tore out his throat and turned him against his will to begin with. Kostaki is forced to admit to himself at last that he is the Impaler's bastard son.

* NotSoDifferent: From Beauregard, as highlighted by Genevieve in One Thousand Monsters. In spite of their obvious surface differences, a handsome human gentleman and a grim vampire warrior. Genevieve refers to both as stalwart adventurers, and that she shared a similar adventure with the two, Beauregard in Anno Dracula and Kostaki in One Thousand Monsters. Both are soldiers with troubled pasts, struggling with their honor and responsibility's, trying to do what is right in a chaotic world. Princess Christina Light even teases Genevieve further about their similarity's by referring to her love of men in uniform. The two men only meet once in passing in The Bloody Red Baron, and no words are exchanged.

* CoolCar: By the time of ''Johnny Alucard, she drives none other than {{Literature/Christine}} herself.
