Count Dracula is the title character of Bram Stoker's 1897 horror novel Dracula. He was a very strong influence on vampires in later works of fiction. Aspects of the character are believed by some to have been inspired by the 15th-century Wallachian prince Vlad the Impaler, who was also known as Vlad Dracula, and by Sir Henry Irving, an actor for whom Stoker was a personal assistant.
One of Dracula's most famous powers is that he can turn others into vampires by biting them.
