uh... Dracula means "son of the dragon" Dracul meaning "dragon." Dragons being seen as noble to the Order his daddy belonged to, are also seen as evil in some cultures.
Vlad means glorious rule
edit:
and Vlad the Impaler is Vlad Dracula....

I know its the same guy you just got his name wrong ;D Bram Stoker made up the name Dracula, he just used Vlad as a template to base the character on. |

na uh! He was called by multiple names ;D and he was from Wallacia. I think I spelled it right.. at least he was prince of that place, can't remember if he was born there. His hobbies were way more fun to remember. ;D

Is that a fur coat? I'm starting to question if this is actually a portrait of Vlad the Impaler or Snoop Dogg's ancestor.

Well, those fastenings do appear large enough to store a pretty decent amount of opium. Do you suppose Snoop and Liberace both can be traced back to him?
