* HappyEndingOverride: For the original ''Dracula'', which ended with Dracula destroyed and the characters [[EarnYourHappyEnding moving on with their lives]], including a cured Mina and Jonathan being HappilyMarried [[BabiesEverAfter with a son]] they named after all their companions, though particularly [[DeadGuyJunior Quincey Morris]], who was killed in the climatic battle with Drac. Here, Mina is now evil, having willingly become a vampire and apparently cheated on Jonathan with Dracula's son, and Quincey himself is a cruel and manipulative vampire [[spoiler:though he does have a HeelFaceTurn in the end]].

* AllForNothing: Count Tepes’ and Quincey’s EvilPlan in ''Bloodline'' results in some pretty horrific consequences for both the good and evil teams. [[spoiler: Mina, Lily, Rosemary, and Tepes]] are all dead by the end, [[spoiler: John]] has become evil, and [[spoiler: Quincey and Mary]] have to deal with years of emotional aftermath. ''Reckoning'' doesn’t go quite to that extent, but the thrust of the novel- Quincey’s desire to [[spoiler: abstain from human blood]] leads to him and Mary almost [[spoiler: dying, and Quincey having to resume drinking human blood again- which Mary abhors.]]

* BigBad: Count Tepes. While Bloodlines originally seems to set up Quincey Harker as the major villain, his role is ultimately TheDragon.

* TheCorrupter: Quincey’s role in Bloodlines is to perform this function for Lily and John. He succeeds [[spoiler: for the latter, to disastrous effects.]] Mina also acts as this, albeit more gleefully then her son. In ''Reckoning'', it is revealed that Rebecca was this for Quincey, although he was already eagerly expecting it.

* ParentalAbandonment: Rosemary Shaw, Lily and John’s mother is presumed dead but is actually [[spoiler: alive and a vampire in reluctant service to Tepes.]] Neither Lily nor John take it well when they discover the truth.

* BashBrothers: Quincey’s hope is that he and John will become this. At John’s wish, Quincey takes him out for a night raid on the German encampment, and they briefly become this. It doesn’t last long.
