Profile[]
Identity[]
The Prince of Wallachia. He is a famous hero in Romanian history. A noble warrior who maintained the independence of WallachiaWP was as far as being described as the shield of the Christian world. He is also known as DraculaWP (ドラキュラWP?), Dracula was nothing but the popular name most habitually used to refer to the lord of Wallachia, Vlad III. Strictly speaking, it was Wladislaus Drakwlya. Standpoint-wise, because he was a duke appointed by the Eastern Roman EmpireWP, he signed under the Roman-style. This derived from the fact that his father, Vlad IIWP, was a member of the Order of the DragonWP (among a total of 24 members), which was established by the Holy Roman Emperor SigismundWP, who called himself Dracul (dragon lord). In other words, because he was the child of Dracul, the a pronunciation that holds the meaning "child" was added at the end thus becoming Dracula. Incidentally, the purpose of the Order of the Dragon was to protect the Christian world from the Islamic influence. There is the possibility that Vlad III took up the name of Dracula as a form of declaration of the intention of succeeding his father will and safeguarding the Christian world from the Islamic Ottoman EmpireWP.[3][5]
During the time of his reign as monarch of Wallachia, Vlad instituted a number of somewhat oppressive and punitive policies aimed at the lower levels of the nobility whom Vlad felt had seriously undermined and destabilized his country with their excessive corruption and political maneuverings. In addition to laws designed to curtail their excesses, he also carried out an unprecedented number of impalings amongst the noble classes. While many believed he was simply trying to reduce the number of rivals and opponents to his rule, Vlad was shockingly ruthless in his approach to justice, targeting commoners and the upper-class with equal viciousness. His kingdom became a land of horrors, culminating with the 1459 impaling of an emissary from the Ottoman Empire, who survived on the stake for several days before finally succumbing.[5]
In 1462 AD, Vlad was at a defensive war against the Turkish invasion. Because he had to oppose 150,000 Turkish troops that were like raging waves with an army of just 10,000, he instructed the use of scorched earth-tacticsWP and Guerrilla warfareWP. In order to protect Wallachia from the Turkish army, he enforced discipline on the nobles that ruined the realm and sentenced 20,000 imprisoned soldiers of the opposing Turkish army to impalement, later to be known as his greatest impaling. After making the populace escape to the Carpathian MountainsWP, going as far as emptying the capital city, he ambushed the Turkish forces. At that time, what stood in the surroundings of the capital city of BucharestWP was the impaled figures of over 20,000 captured Turkish soldiers. A swarm of countless impaled dead bodies in surrounded the citadel of Bucharest. Before such a sight and the offensive smell, the Turkish soldiers - commended for their bravery - had their morale completely crushed. Even the valorous Mehmed II, who was called "The Conqueror", was said to have withdrawn after witnessing the scene.[3][5]
|
« I am not frightened by any man, but a devil is an exception » |
| (Mehmed II the Conqueror) |
The field of impaled soldiers at that time was three kilometers in length and one kilometer in width. Even during the occupation of Wallachia by the Ottoman Empire years later, the autonomy of the region continued to be recognized because of this trauma. Vlad III did not choose the means to defend the independence of Wallachia and was loathed as a devil by the Turkish. Rationality made into brutality. A warrior with an extension of vision above humans. However, he was not blessed with sympathizers and ended his life in despair due to betrayal. He was betrayed by the nobles due to the implementation of a doctrine of rigorous measures. His death came in the form of assassination by the Wallachia nobles that were his subordinates at the age of 46.[3][5]
The name Dracula is now associated as a Vampire. A demon that sucks blood. Under the assumption that it is not a living being created by the Lord, it was painted as an easy to understand antagonist by a certain religious view. Described as drinking the blood of humans, not growing old, being immortal and accompanied by many beasts. This person who became one of the most famous monstersWP in the present world. It can be said to be the greatest sample-case of a literary workWP that distorted reality but it is also a fact that not all can be categorized as insolence of the writerWP.[5]
Appearance[]
Vlad's appearance is that of a warrior or knight in his late 40's with slightly long, light gray hair coupled with blood red eyes and a beard. His appearance changed drastically compared to when he was alive, the reason is due to his Innocent Monster skill.
He wears a set of black plated armorWP, the left side of which is almost completely stained with blood, and a crimson red, tattered cape attached to the front. His armor becomes more covered and warped with spikes and points through his ascensions.
It is said that the difference between him and his counterpart is their aspects being different, this version being Vlad III's aspect as a Warrior, while his counterpart is his aspect of a King.

Personality[]
Like his Master, Vlad is a deranged individual with twisted notions of love, expressing his feelings when killing his opponent. He shows great affection towards his Master, referring to her as his "wife". The reason for his personality and affections towards his master can be blamed for his skill, Protection of the Faith, which increasingly degrades a Servant's sanity and personality the higher its rank (his being ranked A+++). He retains his devotion to the Christian faith, although he is convinced that he is no longer worthy of God's love on account of his sins.
While his appearance and behavior are like that of a Berserker, the last vestiges of rationality still dwells in his eyes. The emotion of a knight to believe in true love, and attempt to protect one of its fragment.[3]
After his defeat, he believes that as long as someone is human even a life without sanity can be redeemed and that is the beauty of being a human. He believes Run Ru's soul can be saved, purgatory will be her home, while he believes he will go to hell.
Relationships[]

- "Seeing my own figure, one who reigned as a feudal lord, I do wonder what is in his mind, seeing the version of him who lived as a knight....."[6]
- Carmilla
- "I don't like that woman. Carmilla, was it? She says she needs blood to live, but she simply craves eternal youth. She would turn to ash from shame if she stood before my wife."[6]
- Elizabeth Báthory
- "Elizabeth Báthory... For some reason, when I look upon her, my spear shakes with fury. But at the same time, a woman's voice implores me to forgive her. That voice... Who was it...?"[6]
- Nero Claudius
- "The trailblazer of Christian persecution. Of course, she and I simply can not cooperate. We cannot, but I, Vlad III, too am someone who had turned into devil at the end of my faith. As a mutual devil, we are assuredly perfectly compatible to slaughter each other."[2]

Gameplay[]

Noble Phantasm: In Fate/EXTRA, the attack ignores defense and inflicts the "Sacrifice" debuff on the target, causing heavy damage at the end of each turn and disappearing only when removed by a spell, skill, or item that removes status ailments, or letting the target's HP drop to 1.
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
Vlad III was designed by Takashi Takeuchi and refined by Arco Wada in Fate/EXTRA. Originally he was planned to have a long cape but this was mostly scrapped due to the technical difficulties with the PlayStation PortableWP hardware.
Vlad III was illustrated by Arco Wada in Fate/Grand Order.[2][3] His scenario writer is Kinoko Nasu in Fate/Grand Order.[2]
Comment from Illustrator[]
"I thought of him as a bit of a troublesome old man because Run Ru isn't around in FGO, and I drew him with a straight, low angle composition so as to be more intense and more troubling compared in EXTRA. But then when he was implemented and raise, I feel like a lot of super cute aspect is seen, and I genuinely thought that it would've been better if I drew him with a much tender expression."[2]
Reception[]
- In the Type-Moon's 10th Anniversary Character Poll, Lancer was ranked 161st.

Profile
A famous hero from Romanian history.
A noble warrior who held on to Walachia’s independence and was even called the shield of Christian world.
However, he is an innocent monster whose title of Dracula ended up spreading across the world instead.
For the sake of protecting Walachia from the Turkish armies to the end, he purged the nobles who had laid waste to the country and impaled over 20,000 enemies soldier from the Turkish army, but he had to run counter to the nobility in order to carry out his doctrine of severe punishment.
In the end, he was assassinated by his own subordinates - the Wallachian nobles.
Level 1 Bond
Height/Weight: 191cm・90kg
Source: Historical fact

"Stronghold of Impalement"
Rank: C Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 0~50 Max Targets: 300 people
Kazikli Bey.
Released from the magic spear, a demonic castle of torture (Drakulya) of curse and punishment that grows countless spears from the surrounding terrain and passes judgement on the enemy.
Because it targets the entire enemy force opposing him, this Noble Phantasm display its true worth in a battle of one-against-many.
Given its source, it has a special trait that increases pain in proportion to the sins of misconduct・depravity possessed by the enemy. The destructive power increases the greater the sins of “desertion”, “immorality” and violence committed by the opponents, the subjects of purge.
Level 3 Bond
Vlad III would choose any means to protect the independence of Walachia, becoming hated as a demon by the Turks.
In the year of 1462.
In order to oppose the 150,000 strong Turkish army with only 10,000 troops, Vlad III instructed the use of scorched-earth tactics and guerrilla warfare.
On top of having the populace run away to the Carpathian Mountains, he ambushed the Turkish army after emptying even the capital.
At that time, what laid in the surroundings of the capital of Bucharest, was the impaled form of over 20,000 Turkish soldiers.
A swarm of countless impaled corpses, towering on the surroundings of the Bucharest fortress. With such bizarreness and offensive smell, he completely crushed the morale of the valorous Turkish soldiers.
It has been said that even the brave Mehmed II, who was called the “conqueror”, withdrew his forces after stating “I do not fear any man, but a demon is another matter”.
At that time, the length of the impalement field was 3 kilometers, while the width was 1 kilometer. Even when Walachia was later occupied by the Ottoman Turkey Empire, its autonomy was continuously recognized because of this trauma.
Level 4 Bond
Dracula was originally a title which he had claimed for himself, and it means “son of the dragon”.
This derives from his father, Vlad II, who was a knight of the Holy Roman Empire’s Order of the Dragon that called himself Dracul.
Prince Vlad believed in the love of the Lord, and attempted to fulfill his responsibility as a noble by correcting injustice.
However, the feudal lords who indulged in the wealth of the privileged class disliked his honorable poverty, and the warrior who saved the Christian world was punished by means of an artifice.
Level 5 Bond
- Innocent Monster: A
The name of a monster that had his past and way of being twisted by means of the image that was born from his deeds while alive. Abilities・appearance ended up being transformed.
In the present, “Dracula” is one of the most famous monsters in the world. Probably the greatest sample-case of reality being distorted by a literary work.
...still, it is also a fact that one cannot affirm that everything was an insolence by the writer Bram Stoker.
Vlad III would choose any means to protect the independence of Walachia, and was feared as a demon by both the Turks and the populace of his own country.
According to records reported to the Vatican, the number of people he impaled during his lifetime reached 100,000. The most frightening part is that such number does not include people of the enemy nation.

This is this Servant's Noble Phantasm and is synonymous with the Servant himself, who in his previous life was known as Kazikli Voyvoda, or the Impaler Prince. The tortures and horrors released by the multitude of spears that his Noble Phantasm summons inflicts damage equivalent to the immorality and depravity found in the soul of the targeted opponent and can be seen as a form of divine punishment.
During the time of his reign as monarch of Wallachia, Vlad instituted a number of somewhat oppressive and punitive policies aimed at the lower levels of the nobility whom Vlad felt had seriously undermined and destabilized his country with their excessive corruption and political maneuverings. In addition to laws designed to curtail their excesses, he also carried out an unprecedented number of impalings amongst the noble classes.
While many believed he was simply trying to reduce the number of rivals and opponents to his rule, Vlad was shockingly ruthless in his approach to justice, targeting commoners and the upper-class with equal viciousness. His kingdom became a land of horrors, culminating with the 1459 impaling of an emissary from the Ottoman Empire, who survived on the stake for several days before finally succumbing.

しかし彼は２度目のワラキア公への即位の際、あまりにも腐敗し、堕落しきった自国の貴族たちの姿を見て憤慨。
国を荒廃させた原因はその貴族らにあると見て、未曾有の大粛正を敢行する。
その粛正の要となったのが、貴族に対する串刺し刑だった。
貴族と庶民が厳しく分割されていたワラキアにおいて、これは相当にショッキングな事実だったと推測される。
領民たちの中で彼の苛烈さ、恐ろしさを感じなかった者はいなかっただろう。
以降、串刺し刑は彼の十八番となり、１４５９年、トルコの使者を生きたまま串刺しにするなどの所業にも出ている。
また、法皇庁に届け出られている記録によれば、彼が生涯に串刺しにした人間の数は１０万人に達するという。
……恐ろしい事に、この数に敵国人は含まれていない。

Considered a heroic figure in Romanian history, he was seen as a noble warrior who rebuilt and maintained the kingdom of Wallachia as well as the shield of Christendom against the threat of the Ottoman Empire.
The name Dracula was the most common appellate used when referring to Vlad III during his reign as King of Wallachia. Originally a duke appointed to his office under the auspices of the Eastern Roman Empire, he adopted many of the customs of that country's court, including signing all documents in the early Roman style. The name itself comes from his father's (Vlad II) enrollment into the Order of the Dragon, a monarchial chivalric order founded by Sigismund of Hungary, who later ascended to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. His father took the surname Dracul and Vlad III appended the "a", signifying that he was "the son of Dracul."
The Order of the Dragon's primary purpose was to defend the Christian world from the increasing influence and might of the Islamic Ottoman Empire, a calling that Vlad III enthusiastically embraced. It is believed by some that he took the name Dracula not only in honor of his father, bus as also as an announcement of his intentions of safeguarding all of Christendom against the Turks as the "Son of the Dragon."
In order to protect Wallachia from what he considered the ravaging Turkish hordes, he instituted a series of conscriptions and laws that almost destroyed the noble class and stability of his realm, as well as resorted to measures considered to be beyond monstrous even by the somewhat barbaric standards of the time. His cruelty and savagery was such that at one point he had over 20,000 captured enemy soldiers impaled in an effort to intimidate his foe. In the end he was betrayed by the nobles he had turned his back on and was assassinated at the age of 46 years old.
02 - "Dracula"
Known as one of the greatest monsters of modern history, the inevitable distortions and exaggerations of scholars throughout the centuries cannot wholly cover the well-documented horrors and atrocities committed by his direct commands. Although he is seen as a hero and savior by some, the lengths he went to preserve the independence of Wallachia and to repel the Turk will forever paint him as an incarnation of satanic evil on Earth.
1462 AD
This was the year in which he first used impaling not only as punishment, but also as a form of psychological warfare in order to slow down the advances of the Turkish invasion into the western kingdoms. With a force of just 10,000 troops, Vlad III made extensive use of what are now known as guerilla and scorched-earth tactics to harass and weaken the enemy forces, which at one points consisted of over 150,000 soldiers. At one point, he drove his forces into Carpathian Mountains after annihilating the Turkish forces surrounding the city of Bucharest.
The scene that the main Turkish force encountered when they finally arrived to help the city was one of nightmares. Surrounding the entire city was a vast forest comprised entirely of impaled soldiers, some 20,000 in total. It is said that the lines of impaled Turks stretched for kilometers in every direction. The sight of their comrade's bodies impaled on stakes in combination with the overpowering stench of decay broke the morale and spirit of the Turkish army. Even Mehmed II , son of the Turkish Sultan and known as the conqueror, was shaken and ordered his forces to withdraw, saying the following:
"I fear no man alive, but even I cannot hope to fight the devil."
In the end, Vlad III rationalized his brutality and his lack of remorse gave him a battle vision far superior to those he faced. However, his actions made him a pariah amongst even his supporters and his life came to a tragic end due to betrayal.
On an unrelated note, many military historians theorize that Vlad's actions against the Turks are the first time that guerilla warfare tactics made their appearance and that they were the reason for his many successes against a demonstratively superior force. If one is to have so much success defending something only to be repaid with treason and assassination, isn't it reasonable to assume that one would go insane from rage and disappointment?０１ - 人物背景：
ルーマニア史に名高い英雄。
ワラキア独立を堅持した、キリスト教世界の盾とまで言われた高潔な武人。
もともとドラキュラというのはワラキア公ヴラド三世が最も愛用した通称にすぎない。
厳密にはヴラディスラウス・ドラクリヤ。
立場的には東ローマから任ぜられた公爵だったため、ローマ式で署名していた。
これは彼の父、ヴラド二世が神聖ローマ皇帝ジギスムントの創設したドラゴン騎士団（メンバーは２４人）の一員であり、自らをドラクル（竜公）と名乗っていたことに由来する。
つまり、ドラクルの子であるため、子を意味するａの発音を末尾につけた事からドラキュラになったのである。
ちなみにドラゴン騎士団の目的は、イスラム勢力からキリスト教世界を防衛することであった。
ヴラド三世がドラキュラを名乗ったのは、キリスト教世界を守護する父の意志を継ぐ意思表示だった可能性もある。
トルコ軍からワラキアを守り抜くため、国土を荒廃させた貴族たちを粛正し、敵対するトルコ軍の兵士２万を串刺し刑にしたが、厳罰主義を貫いた為、貴族たちに背かれた。
その最期は、配下であるワラキア貴族たちによる暗殺である。
享年４６歳。
０２ - 『ドラキュラ』
今や世界でもっとも有名な怪物の一人になってしまった人物。
創作が現実をねじまげた、最大のサンプルケースと言えるだろう。
……が、その全てを創作者の傲慢である、と断言できないのも事実である。
ヴラド三世はワラキア独立を守るために手段を選ばず、トルコ側から悪魔の如く嫌われたからだ。
１４６２年。
彼の最大の串刺しとして知られるのが、トルコ侵略に対する防衛戦争である。
彼は怒涛のごとき１５万のトルコ軍に１万の軍隊で立ち向かう為、焦土戦術をゲリラ戦を指示。
民衆をカルパチア山脈に逃がし、首都までも空にした上でトルコ軍を迎え撃った。
その時に首都ブカレストの周囲にあったのが、のべ２万人を超えるトルコ兵たちの串刺しされた姿だった。
ブカレストの城塞周囲に屹立する、無数の串刺し死体の群れ。
その異様と異臭に、勇猛を持ってなるトルコ兵たちは完全に士気をくじかれた。
“征服者”と呼ばれた剛勇・メフメト二世でさえ、
「私はどんな人間も恐ろしくないが、悪魔だけは別だ」
と残し、軍を引き上げたという。
この時の串刺しの野原は長さにして３キロ、幅にして１キロ。
オスマン・トルコ帝国は後年のワラキア占領後も、このトラウマから自治は認め続けたとされる。
◆
残虐にして合理的。
人間以上の視野の広さを持つ武人。
だが理解者には恵まれず、裏切りによる失望の中で人生を終えた。
それがヴラド三世の真実である。
また、余談ではあるが、キリスト教世界で初めてゲリラ戦術（パルチザン）を組織したとの意見もある。
これほどの才能を持ちながら酬われなかったのなら、確かに、正気を失うのも無理からぬ事か。 - ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 Fate/Grand Order Vlad III (EXTRA) Lines
