Biography
Vlad was a Wallachian voivode that was the last bastion of European Christian hegemony against the Ottoman Empire. That was until the day his human foes disappeared and an army of demonic beings began terrorizing his kingdom and decimating his army. No one knows from were this demons came. Some say that they were summoned by Sultan Mehmet in a desperate effort to subjugate Europe and his brave defender. Others say they were conjured by a mad priest in order to begin theApocalypse. Whatever the case, Vlad has waged war against the demons for 400 years and still the fiercest defender of the human race.
