Behind the scenes[]
Some say that Bram Stoker's Dracula was based in part on Vlad.[1] Dracula means 'son of the Dragon'. His father was a member of the Order of the Dragon.
Vlad Tepes the Impaler, famous Romanian leader remembered for brutally impaling his enemies and prisoners. Tsepish comes from Tepes that means "the impaler". This is the same person that inspired the character Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's stories.
Vlad has inspired two characters in KQ lore, both Dracula, and Vladimir Tsepish of Ooga Booga. Each from an alternate universe (parallel dimension).
