Short Bio:

Alucard, born Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş, is the half-human son of Count Dracula and a powerful shapeshifter who opposes his father’s bloody legacy. After sealing himself in slumber to suppress his dark nature, he awakens centuries later to investigate the resurgence of Dracula’s castle. Coldly elegant and heartbreakingly tormented, he’s the kind of immortal who speaks in ellipses and disappears before the conversation ends. Alucard becomes the reluctant hero—navigating familial guilt, ancient magic, and one extremely cursed estate. Driven by a promise to his mother and a distaste for his father’s genocidal hobbies, he chooses isolation over intimacy, wielding sorcery and swords in equal measure. His is a slow-burning tragedy, shaped more by restraint than desire—because to love, for someone like him, is to walk away before the sun rises. And yes… he’s another man with a sword. I accept this about myself.
