History

Turac and his Turkish army invaded Transylvania in 1459. Turac's army captured the still-human Dracula and took him prisoner. Turac instructed the Gypsy in the camp to heal Dracula; however, Said gypsy was actually the vampire Lianda. Furious with Turac for his persecution of the gypsies, Lianda turned Dracula into a vampire as revenge. After finding out Lianda was a vampire, Turac killed her by impaling her with a wooden spear straight through her heart. Dracula escaped captivity and killed Turac, whose death at the hands of Dracula transformed him into a Vampire.
