History Characters / AnnoDracula

* TrademarkFood: Bassett's Aniseed Imperials.

* TokenGoodTeammate: The personification of this trope in Anno Dracula, compared to his barbaric fellow Carpathian Guards. Although he follows Dracula and carries out his orders, he silently judges his more bloodthirsty comrades actions in his POV chapters, questioning the honor of it all, and displaying disgust for their ways. He is the sole Carpathian Guard to show Genevieve deep respect when she bests some of them in a bar scuffle they started in the first place. This quality is further expanded upon in One Thousand Monsters, as well as why he values honour more than his fellow Carpathians.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Of a sort. He behaves much less like his source material counterpart in Anno Dracula and Bloody Red Baron, being a much more quiet, reserved, deadly, serious man in the background. Come One Thousand Monsters he behaves like the spitting image of the humorous, extroverted, LoveableRogue novel and film character. The difference is rather noticeable and jarring.

* YourCheatingHeart: Cheats on Charles with Lord Godalming out of spite. Charles admits he's not really in a good position to complain about it, considering the time he spends with Genevieve, and is thankful they can call the whole thing off without a lawsuit.

* DarkMessiah: Light intends to usher in a new world where humanity and vampires will be free from harm or ill though she'll go to extreme lengths to achieve it. After ''One Thousand Monsters'', Geneviève actually added Christina to her enemy list.

*

* StrongerWithAge: Genevieve is one of the oldest vampires depicted, as well as one of the few who has explicitly been a vampire longer than Dracula. As such she can manhandle Elders with ease.

* DarkMessiah: Light intends to usher in a new world where humanity and vampires will be free from harm or ill though she'll go to extreme lengths to achieve it.

* BiggerBad: 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..

* CoolSword: Walks around with a sword disguised as a cane and knows how to use it. Later has it silvered to be more efficient against his Vampire enemies.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Is forever haunted by the death of his beloved late wife, Pamela, who died in childbirth with their son. Carries the grief of it with him through the series.

* TheHero: The protagonist of the first three novels and easily one of the series best overall human beings.

* TheEmpath: Though she can't shapeshift like vampires of Dracula's lineage, she can read emotions so accurately it often borders on straight-up mind reading, depending on the subject of her companion's thoughts.

* LoveEpiphany: Although it becomes apparent to the reader through One Thousand Monsters that Kostaki has fallen for Genevieve, he is the last person in the cast to find out when he is telepathically manipulated into stabbing her, and looks into her eyes, realizing what he has done. What he feels for her.
* [[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. And 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.

Although he follows Dracula and carries out his orders, he silently judges his more bloodthirsty comrades actions in his POV chapters, questioning the honor of it all, and displaying disgust for their ways. He is the sole Carpathian Guard to show Genevieve deep respect when she bests some of them in a bar scuffle they started in the first place. It is further expanded upon in One Thousand Monsters, the reasons he has this honor that sets him apart from his fellow Carpathians.

* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Something he learned from THE van Helsing.

* SocialClimber: Turned vampire for social advancement. Since he was part of van Helsing's vampire-hunter crew, this probably went a ways towards saving his own neck.

* IJustWantToBeYou: Genevieve earmarks him as a murgatroyd- basically a desperate Dracula wannabe.

* TheVoiceless: Doesn't speak a word in the whole series.
