Vladimir "Vlad" Dracula, is the son of Count Dracula and Sally Giles (in series 5), the paternal younger half-brother of Ingrid Dracula, and the maternal older half-brother of Georgina Giles. He is very attractive and is the Chosen One, the future Grand High Vampire, heir to the Dracula throne, and main character from the Young Dracula series.

Early Life

Adam Giles was born in 1995 to the then-reputable Count Dracula and his love connection Sally Giles, who was only eighteen when she had him. His father's former partner Magda Westenra, who Adam thought was his real mother until series 5, adopted him and in order to hide the fact that the Count had a child with a breather. They changed his name to Vladimir "Vlad" Dracula. Vlad was in Transylvania through most of his childhood until the castle was attacked by an angry peasant mob in early 2006. The Count decided they should move - something which Magda's mother (Krone Westenra) did not approve of. Vlad found the only castle he could at short notice on the internet; a run down old castle in the village of Stokely in the United Kingdom. It is suggested that he was brought up to speak Transylvanian (Romanian), but had to learn English to fit in. Despite this he is able to speak fluent English. While the Dracula family fled, Magda (who had already left the family, along with her parents and sister) remained. They were not harmed and it is suggested that Krone, Atilla and Lucinda managed to fight off the mob.

Series 1 & 2

The whole Young Dracula starts off with Vlad talking, it seems to be all about him and his endeavours to be human and have peace. Vlad's 'human life' is presented to begin when he is with his older sister, Ingrid and Renfield in the hearse entering Stokely. He makes the immediate impression that he wants to be human saying "Normal... just what I was thinking." and demonstrates that he is used to his family when his father, sister and Renfield start arguing and just rolls his eyes. In the first series, Vlad meets a "breather" or human called Robin Branagh, whom sneaks into his room scaring both of them. They link almost right away as Vlad saves Robin from his father, and they both briefly discuss vampirism before Ingrid intervenes and lets Robin go. Later, Vlad starts school after manipulating his father so he could go and started working on his dream to lead a normal life. He ungoes a series of problems throughout his first year in Stokely, from getting excluded, to learning to hyponose, he goes through his thirteenth birthday coming close to becoming a vampire, passes his blood tests, runs into a vampire zombie and has to prevent his father biting people on many occasions. The last of which puts the Brannaghs in terrible danger in the final episode of the first season. Series two presents a new side to Vlad, immediately his friend Chloe Branaugh, Robin's sister, breaks up their friendship believeing that she should no longer risk her life. Vlad himself shows at the beginning of the season, that not only does he want to be human, but if he can't be, he will "find a way for vampires and breathers... to get along, no more fighting" something that he maintains fiercely stubborn about continously. Like before Vlad has to stop his father hunting. He meets his uncle, who introduces the idea of being blood free, and learns more about the transformation from seeing what his cousin Boris and his sister, Ingrid went through in the season. Vlad seems to grow more powerful in the season and less afraid of his power as he hypnotises people and uses a fireball trying to impress who are more interested in his younger maternal half brother Wolfie. The arguably most important thing Vlad learns in season 2 occurs in episode 7, Insomnia, where Vlad goes through the vampire 'ritual' of entering the "dreamworld" and learns that he is in fact the "Chosen One". He denies this fact continuously until the final episode of the season, when his family were at risk of being killed and the ghost of the Grand High Vampire informs Vlad that he is the Chosen One and has to let go of his human life. Vlad seeing no way out mind wipes the slayers threating his family as well as the Brannaghs, and Renfield proving he is the Chosen One by surviving putting on the Grand High Vampire's Crown of Power. At the end of the series 2, Vlad has to lose his best friend Robin to save his family (Young Dracula Series 2 Episode 13 "The Chosen One"), as well as his life in Stokely just as the Ghost of the Grand High Vampire told him - "You will know you are the Chosen One, when you sacrifice the life you love, for the family you love."

Series 3

Four years have passed since Vlad accepted his destiny and put on the Crown of Power. He and his father fled Stokely to escape Ingrid's reign of terror and bought a school (Garside Grange Independent Day School) to live in. As the new Grand High Vampire, his fellow undead expect him to step up and lead them to a better future. Vlad, son of Count Dracula, accepts his vampire powers for their usefulness, (fast speed, lighting candles, etc) but would rather not be a fully-fledged, bloodthirsty, mayhem causing, breather hating evil kind of vampire. He just wants to be "normal". Unfortunately for him, he is the "Chosen One" and if he doesn't want his family and others to get hurt, he has to learn how to open the Praedictum Impaver and lead the vampire race into the future.

In series 3 his personality seems to have changed. He has become more assertive and now has no problem standing up to his father, however, Alexandra (Alex) McCauley states that Vlad is passive (or at least during his school hours).  Vlad is being tutored (after a long string of attempts) by the guardian of the Praedictum Impaver, Bertrand de Fortunessa. By the end of the series he has honed most of his powers. when Vlad used to be young he never wanted to be a vampire, he said being a vampire really sucks. He just wanted to have a normal life and be a normal boy for once but his father never accepted that chance for Vlad to have any of that stuff before he was a young vampire Vlad did not have any powers at all because he was not a fully fanged vampire yet. Until he was at the age of 16 years old but when Vlad grew up he had his full vampire powers and ability to do anything a vampire could but he had to deal with it and just move on. He needs to accept that he is a proper vampire now, however Vlad miss the good times when he was just a child, the life he had in Stokely and his two best friends, Robin and Chloe.

For now Vlad is sort of happy being a vampire. He is blood free and a fully-fledged vampire, now four years older. He remains the same for the most part, he is shown to have a shorter temper, but still care deeply for his family. When he rescues his sister from the slayers he accidently meets Erin Noble. Now accepted as the Chosen One, Vlad starts going through tutoring from Bertrand du Fortunessa but feels the pressure much more clearly now that he is black-mailed into attempting to open the Praedictum Impaver. His way of escaping it all is through Erin, who he slowly begins to fall in love with after realising his attractraction to her. Eventually the Praedictum Impaver and Vlad's destiny forces Vlad to merge with all his 1000 evil reflections, making him evil for a short amount of time until he runs away, afraid of hurting his loved ones. One week later he returns, having accepted who he is and claiming that he no longer wants peace, when in fact he does. He learns that Erin is in actually a slayer and exiles her, but his feelings for her remain. Erin warns Vlad of an impending slayer attack organised by the no longer mind wiped Van Helsings, and Vlad reluctantly go with his father to see if there's any truth to her statement. When Vlad learns she was telling the truth he once again allows himself to get into a relationship with her, despite them being his mortal enemies. At the end of the season Vlad, through manipulation and deceptiveness, manages to get everyone to work together against the vampire Sethius, who was trapped in the Praedictum Impaver and released when Vlad tried to obtain its power thus taking one step closer to peace not only between vampires and breathers but within his own family as well.

Series 4

Series 4 starts with Vlad enforcing the peace treaty, and meeting his half brother Malik - though at this point he is unaware that Malik is his brother. Vlad is trying to keep order with the ceasefire but is struggling. Jonno is on his side along with Erin and Bertrand. He now has a establisheda  relationship with Erin and a friendship with Jonno but he doesn't trust Bertrand. Things are complicated with his father and sister working together against him and when his father agrees to an arranged marriage for Vlad to Ramanga's daughter Adze. Vlad remains with Erin despite almost being forced to marry Adze. Ryan, Erin's brother gets murdered and Vlad orders Bertrand to investigate, but there is no evidence of who it truly is, and as such it remains a mystery to Vlad until near the end of the season. Adze after failing to marry Vlad attacks Erin and thus almost causing her death. With Erin on the brink of death Vlad doeas the only thing possible to keep her with him, he bites her, turning her into a vampire. Prior to this she had told asked him to let her die, an thus developes a deep hetred towards him for ot letting her do so and so becomes his enemy. Afterwards Vlad starts questioning himself and does what he vowed to never do, drink human blood. After biting Erin, Vlad begins to slip towards his evil nature, he is rejected by his father for still refusing to drink blood even though his cravings are beginning to get the better of him and enters a fight with Malik in the hope he can win Erin back. He uses his powers on Bertrand, 'zoning' him as his temper is growing impossible to control. This all builds up and Vlad ends up turning to human blood, in order to satisfy the thirst biting Erin unleashed.

He becomes paranoid, obssessed with trying to get his girlfriend back, and ends up making many mistakes such as mind wiping the slayers and killing Bertrand. Later Vlad realizes the error of his ways after seeing how out of control vampires are without the slayers, and reverses the mind wipe, but guilty feelings from murdering Bertrand still remains. Determined to get back at Malik, Vlad learns of Malik and Elizabetta's plot to kill the Dracula family, but ends up being disinherited by his father for reversing the mind wipe. Later, his father is poisoned and Vlad himself is almost killed by both Erin and Elizabetta but is saved by Ingrid, who puts her life on line fighting Elizabeta. Together Vlad and Ingrid manage to defeat Elizabetta as well as exile Malik and Erin who flee to France. Vlad himself almost dies after sucking all the poison out of his father, but manages to survive - presumably by expelling the poison from his system. Right at the end he shows that he maintains his belief that breathers and vampires should live in peace despite the unstable relationship between the slayers and the vampires.

Series 5

At the beginning of Series 5 Vlad arrives back at Garside, wearing medieval villager clothes after his voyages around the world. Soon after his arrival Vlad becomes ill. The illness is believed by the Count to be an incurable vampire disease which he caught on his travels. The Count orders Renfield to not do any testing but Renfield does not listen and in Vlad's DNA sample he finds breather genes. He confronts the Count and we find out that Vlad is actually half breather and that the disease is a common cold. The only issue is that because of his vampire side Vlad has been unable to build immunity to fight such diseases and so this 'common cold' could be fatal.

In Episode 2, Vlad's cold seems completely unstoppable. The Count goes as far as threatening Renfield, who manages to come up with a cure that rebalances Vlad's human and vampire sides. Vlad, however learns of his ailment and becomes suspicious that his father has been hiding something. After ending up in the sunlight and miraculously surviving - likely due to his human side - he demands answers from his father. This in turn leads to him learning he half human and half vampire. At first Vlad is decieved into thinking his mother Magda had an affair with a breather, thus bringing him into the world. After some thought Vlad realises that Magda would never do such a thing, but the Count would and attacks his father in an attempt to get answers. Renfield informs Vlad that the Count is his biological father, and thus Vlad stops attacking his father. The Count then admits to having met his mother at a Goth festival in Whitby. Later he tells Vlad her name, Sally Giles, and that she was only eighteen when they met. He also makes it clear that he loved her, and Magda had left by this point so he hadn't cheated on Magda.

In episode 3, Vlad decides to take advantage of Ingrid's absense and bring his mother round. He uses telepathic abilities along with the photo of his mother the Count gave him to find out she was a sculptor. He then used Ingrid's new technology to track his mother down and invite her round without telling her who he was. As he went he told his father what he had done, who was outraged because he didn't want to see Sally nor himself hurt. The Count at this point informed Vlad that Sally and himself had only been together a weekend, he also seemed to still be attracted to Sally when she arrived. Vlad himself seemed shocked when he met his real mother, likely due in part to the fact he is not used to a loving mother. He then met his younger half sister Georgina or "George". Vlad immediately bonds with the two and spots he and George have matching moles. Later Vlad finds a sketch of a child, who George confirms is her older brother "Adam". Sally tells him how shegot pregnant with Adam at a Goth weekend in Whitby, thus confirming her as his mother and that Vlad was in fact Adam. His mother also told him how when he was eighteen she was going to track him down. Vlad seeming slightly worried as he did not want them to find out he was half vampire, decided they should leave in the morning. Ingrid then showed up having being mistreated by the Vampire High Council, Vlad even more panicked rushed to get his family out and did so just in time. Unfortunately, Sally left her bag behind and Ingrid caught her. In act of desperation to save his mother he attacked his sister using his powers and fangs proving he was in fact a vampire. At the same time the Count showed up to try and seperate the two. Vlad confirmed he was his father by saying "Get off me Dad"!, Sally immediately recognized the Count and realized what Vlad had said, and asked the question "Are you my son"?.

Episode 4 carries straight where episode 3 left off. Sally locked herself in a cupboard, Vlad manages to convince her to come out and tells her the truth, that he is her son. Having decided not to tell George they are vampires. Vlad manages to talk to Sally privately, learns how deserate she was to get him back and they have a reunion hug after Vlad informs her that he doesn't bite peopler.  Vlad then convinces his family to act normal for Sally and Georgie but is afraid that Ingrid may turn them in to the High Council. Vlad nevertheless gets little opportunity to get to know his family, and only briefly gets to support his sister, telling his mother George would be safe in the Courtyard as it was still daylight. When George learns the truth Sally and George are desperate to get away, but Vlad convinces them to stay a little longer. George later informs Ingrid that telling the High Council about Vlad being half-human mean that she would be banished, and convinces her mother to let them stay for Vlad's sake.

In episode 5, a boy named Asan and Malik arrive. Vlad, Ingrid and the Count threaten Malik but he says he and Erin took refugee in Paris, but were attacked by Ramanga's "Shadow Warriors," Asan saving Malik, but Erin dying. The Shadow Warriors were outcast years ago by the Vampire High Council, but Ramanga revived them with voodoo magic. Three Warriors invade the castle, but with their weakness and fear to light, they are all defeated.

In Episode 6, a message comes, talking about Ramanga's death. The family are celebrating their victory when a vampire bat invades. There is a chase made to defeat it. However, Asan talks to him, revealing the bat as his older brother (Shango), and the two of them as sons of Ramanga.

In episode 7, Vlad's friend Talitha who he went travelling with shows up and finds out he is half human, Elizabetta is calling Malik from the blood mirror however he couldnt get through the first time. Later on Malik and Ingrid want to get the crystal (of which Elizabetta is inside) so they have security if the VHC find out Vlad is half human. To get it out the lake they take Asan and George 'fishing' who later tell Vlad, Sally and Talitha what had happened. Vlad was supposed to be leaving with Sally and George but because he cant trust Ingrid and Malik he stays, telling Sally and George to leave because it would be too dangerous.

Episode 8 starts with the Count telling everyone he wants to sell Garside to breathers. The humans are shown around and towards the end we findout two of them are vampire bounty hunters. One goes after Vlad and Talitha and the other gos after the count and Renfield with the Humans. The count gets forced into a room which is then locked and polluted with garlic gas whilst Vlad and Talitha are trapped in a Uv and were going to get dusted. Luckily because Vlad is half breather he grabbed the bounty hunter and pulled him into the UV light. The other bounty hunter comes which meant Asan could free the count. Unfortunately both bounty hunters get away and one gets dusted by Shango because he hired them.

In Episode 9 the Count has decided to sell to Vampires with a 'specialist' Shano although he doesnt know this. On the other hand Vlad gets given a bodyguard who wont leave until the bounty hunters are found so Vlad and Talitha decide to find them. They do find one finding out the other was dused and they han her into the VHC. Vlad decides to see her one last time and she gets smuggled out however when they get back to garside she tries to dust Vlad and Talitha. This is when we find out the Talitha is Vlad's bodyguard.

Personality

  • Series 1: Vlad was very meek and never spoke out for himself, being scared of his father although sometimes he did disagree with his dad. He also believes in peace between the humans and the vampires.
  • Series 2: Vlad seems more mature and brave. He is open to new ideas - particularly when it comes to becoming/staying human or being blood-free - and shows the teenage tendency to be more outspoken and is not afraid to stick up for himself against his father but often regrets it as his dad takes on drastic methods when he does. He will also do pretty much anything to get what he wants shown in episode 5 when he was willing to do whatever Renfield Senior told him even if it was evil in order for him to become a mortal but doesn't succeed. He also develops powers earlier than most vampires his age show in episode 6 when he shot a fireball and set fire to Zoltans tail and in episode 10 when he told of Ingrid's evil reflection in a deep voice.
  • Series 3: Vlad's personality has changed a lot and is a leader type with aggressive tempers. However, he has finally accepted that he is a vampire and is determined to make his role as the chosen one work. He is always caring about his family and does anything in his power to help when they're in trouble. He's more aggressive but since 'The Return' he has become a leader alongside having punishments if you don't follow his rules. This is shown when he threatens Bertrand du Fortunesa for trying to kill Ingrid to frame the Van Helsings. He is also super protective over the people he cares for.
  • Series 4: Vlad is the same as he was in series 3 but much more determined. After Erin dumped him, he becomes much more ruthless and aggressive as shown when he electrocuted several of the SCRAPs that tried to bite a breather, ashing them; moreover he even ashed a girl that put her hand up when he asked "who wants to bite a breather". He takes more risks although was very reluctant to bite a human as shown when he bit Erin when she was dying. Vlad has become much more ruthless, explaining there's "no more Mr Nice Guy" indicating he's turned a little evil as well but after he saves his father, he reverts back to his old ways and becomes good again.
  • Series 5: Vlad seems to have grown into his powers more and has become more responsible, also he has become a vegetarian. He is pretty much the same as he was in series 4 but with a slightly worse temper, shown when Ingrid and the Count got him to stay via the council, and also throughout "Who's the Daddy" as he discovers he isnt who he always thought. Later in the series Vlad becomes more mild-mannered and vulnerable. This might be attributed to the fact that his vampire powers are shutting down.

Appearance

  • Series 1: Vlad is a very cute 12 year old boy with black hair in a helmet style and blue eyes. He doesn't dress in vampiric clothes as he prefers to look normal and dresses in casual clothes instead.
  • Series 2: Vlad has become very attractive. His hair is slightly lighter but is still the same style. He looks a lot older and his voice has deepened slightly. He still usually dresses in casual clothes and only wears his cape if he really has to.
  • Series 3: Vlads appearance has changed a lot since he's a lot older. He has turned into a very handsome and attractive vampire and his hair has changed from the helmet hair style, to a crop and it's a lot darker. It grows throughout the series.
  • Series 4: Vlads cut his hair so it's slightly shorter though he however, looks pretty much the same as he did in series 3.
  • Series 5: In Series 5, Vlad looks quite simple and scruffy when he arrived, his hair has been styled up he also wears medieval villager clothes after his voyages around the world. He also has a red symbolic tattoo on his neck, which disappears mysteriously after episode 2. After episode 2 Vlad neatens himself, and takes on a more vampiric look, however he does not wear leather, possibly due to becoming a vegetarian.

Relationships

Count Dracula

Count Dracula is Vladimir's father, in series 1 Vlad often wants to please his father and do what he wanted usually, but also to be a "normal" boy, he enjoys being his father's favourite in seasons 1 & 2 as it gives him power over Ingrid to get what he wants unless the Count doesn't like it. In series 3 & 4, it changes now as he defies his father's orders and goes against his choices showing that their relationship has changed since they left Stokely. In series 5 he still defies his fathers orders and in episode 2 he gets so angry he hurts his father with his powers and threatens to tell the high council of his fathers affair with a breather. Also while arguing with his father in the same episode, his father says he is still his regent, Vlad full of rage, defiling his fathers orders and saying, "We're way past that now". showing since Vlad found out he is half-breather he and his father have grown apart, despite this he still cares for his father.

Magda Westenra

Magda Westenra is Vladimir's mother (until series 5) who often returns to the Draculas in need of something.  In her last return, Faustian Slip, she wanted to have a interview with the "Chosen One" and wanted to be Vlad's legal guardian, or Regent. Vlad and his mother don't seem to get along, from the moment Magda is introduced, Vlad states how she has "done" him and his sister "since we were little" suggesting that he knows she's manipulative and will stop at nothing to gain power. Despite this, Vlad clearly cares for his mother as in Faustian Slip he allows his mother to stay, believing she is in distress but envitable fall for a trap Magda had made. The latest visit happened between series 4 and 5, and has not been shown as an episode, but is merely mentioned that she visited to take away Wolfie. But, even then Vlad did not see her as he was travelling.

Ingrid Dracula

Ingrid Dracula is Vladimir's older half-sister. In series 1 and 2 Vlad and his sister sometimes don't get a long and bicker just like any other siblings, and tries to make his life miserable. When he discovered she was the one who released the cockroaches breaking their father's hypnosis on Mrs Branaugh, he called her cunning and devious, causing them both to laugh suggesting they so get along when they want to. After he passed his blood exam she kisses him on his cheek, but she tries to hide the fact that she was proud of her brother for passing his blood exam by saying "I'll be the most powerful vampire in the world and you will all fall at my feet and worship me". Vlad says to her "not to get too confident there are still three more blood tests to go", in other words he knows that she was trying to hide the fact that she is proud of him. In series 3 Vlad still cares about his sister even though she left him and their father to rot and die. When he returns after being gone for a week she hugs him much to his surprise - though this may have been an act to make him think she was no longer extremely evil. In series 4, Ingrid saves her brother and works with him to get rid of Elizabeta, showing that they both care for each other and may even go as far being willing to die for one another. 

Wolfie 

Wolfie is Vlad (until series 5) and Ingrid's younger maternal half-brother. Vlad at first seemed not to show anything towards Wolfie, thought this is likely due to the plotlines being unable to fit it in. But, in the later parts of series 3 Vlad shows how he cares for Wolfie, and clearly knows him well. Vlad has lost all jealousy for him and cares for him.

Malik Hellfire Vaccaria

Malik Dracula was Vladimir and Ingrid's older paternal half-brother. He is roughly 300 years older than Vlad and Ingrid. In series 4 Malik and Vlad have a duel as the Count would like a worthy heir to the throne. Malik also steals Vlad's girlfriend and they run off to Paris. Vlad's relationship with his brother is tenious at best, from the moment they met they had differing views, and when Vlad learnt Malik was his brother, he was less than pleased and believed that Malik should have told them earlier. After this Vlad no longer trusted his brother and maintained that for good reason, and went as far as threatening to kill him in series 4 causing Malik to leave. Malik is seen in the season 5 trailer which means he will return, he is believed that episode 4 will be the episode he returns (this is uncertain, as the episode 4 trailer has no mention of Malik). The trailer also suggests Malik comes back to protect his family, suggesting he may care for his half brother and sister more than he care to admit. However, in Blood Match he was revealed to not be of any relation to the others.

Erin Noble

Erin Noble is Vladimir's "Half-Fang" ex-girlfriend. Vlad cared deeply for her and even mentions that he loves her for who she is in series 4. He even plans to run away with her so as not to marry Adze, throwing away his life for her. Erin used to love him just as much as he loves her, and left with a broken heart so he can be the ruler he needs to be, and achieve the peace he always wanted. Adze nearly killed her, however Vlad saved her by biting her, transforming her into a vampire, which she had told him not to do. When she awoke and discovered what he had done to her, she was angry and vows to never forgive him, ending their relationship. Since then, Erin has been distant and hates him, becoming loyal to Ingrid instead and later Malik. She begins biting breathers to get back at him, for turning her into a vampire. He confronts her about biting breathers, and tells her that the coexistence between vampires and breathers will be up held, and no one is exempt not even her, and this is her first and last warning she acts all brave in front of him, he gets angry at Erin and comes up at her with his speed, showing her his fangs, then she drops her brave act which shows that she is terrified of him. Vlad then shows her a vision of her future where she is out on the street lone and hungry, she would be so weak she won't even be able to catch a rat, but instead of running away from it she embraces her dark future. When Vlad is restoring the memories of Mina Van Helsing, she tries to mentally torment him. Finally having enough of her attitude, he fangcuffs her and breaks the mental link between them seemingly giving her a mental headache, he then returns home. Back at Garside, Vlad asked her "why would you want to stay here"? she says "I enjoy watching you fail"  She tells Malik that Vlad restored all the memories of every vampire slayer, so he will tell the count just to hurt Vlad even more, In the last episode of season 4 she is banished along with Malik when Vlad finally finds out about her treachery and runs away to Paris with him. When Vlad finds out he says "I hope she chokes on a garlic snail" hinting that he no longer cares about her anymore. However in series 5 the Count give Vlad a "time out" to visit the world to "get over her". Furthermore in series 5 Vlad shows that he no longer cares as he states he is fine with her being with Malik, and he'd rather be on his own travelling. Whether he has changed this view since he 1st episode of series 5 is uncertain, but it seems clear that Vlad has no more affection for his ex-girlfriend.

Sally Giles

Sally Giles is Vladimir's biological breather mother. It is said that she gave birth to him at 18 unaware she had him with a vampire. She then gave him up for adoption as she was so young. 18 years later, Vlad finds out about her and invites her to stay. When she arrives she has also brought her daughter Georgina "George" much to Vlads suprise that not only does he have a breather mother, but also a younger half-sister. Sally is shown to like Vlad at the beginning unaware that he is her son. She then tells him that she had a son 18 years ago called Adam but gave him up for adoption unaware that she is talking to her son. After she almost gets bitten by Ingrid, Vlad saves her by attacking Ingrid with his vampire powers and fangs revealing to Sally that he is a real vampire. Sally them becomes scared and much to her shock, recognizes the Count and finds out that not only is Vlad is her son, but she's the mother of a vampire. However, Vlad reassures her by telling her that he isn't going to hurt her or George and persuades her to stay for a few days.

Georgina Giles

Georgina Giles is Vladimir's younger maternal half-sister. Vlad is surprised to find out that she is his half-sister, but he does like her. He at the beginning goes along with everything she says but is defensive at times not wanting her to know he's a vampire to scare her or that he is her older brother. Despite all this, as she is his sister, he is protective over George amd cares for her deeply by getting her and Sally out of Garside when Ingrid returns.

Powers

As he is The Chosen One, Vlad is extremely powerful most of his powers learnt from Bertrand:

  • Super Strength: For a moment when training with Bertrand du Fortunessa, Vlad delivered a powerful punch which knocked Bertrand back and produced a mighty shockwave. He was also able to use his strength to stop Sethius from hurting his dad.
  • Super Speed: Vlad can move around short and long distances rapidly making him look like a blur.
  • Super Sense: This power is briefly shown when in Season 3 Episode 10, 'The Return', he could sense that Jonathan Van Helsing was in the room behind him. It is also shown in Season 2 episode 10 when he can sense the presence of Ingrids bad reflection in the room. This ability also appers again in Season 5 Episode 3 when he put the picture of Sally on his forehead and saw her in the prsent day.
  • Super Smell: In Season 3 Episode 11, 'Hit Chicks', Vlad could smell that there was blood in Erin's bag.
  • Super Hearing: In Season 3 Episode 4, 'Fangs For The Memories', Vlad could hear Erin crying in her room from outside. In Season 3 Episode 12, "Blood Loyalties", Vlad could hear Erin talking to him when she was outside and he was in his room. In episode 3 of series 5, Vlad consistantly demonstrates this ability, as the Count who is watching whispers a running commentary as Vlad talks to his breather family, but still hears his father as well.
  • Visions: Vlad can see visions of people he cares about when they're in trouble.  In Season 3 Episode 1 "Hide And Seek" he could see Ingrid and in Season 3 Episode 13 'All For One' he could see Erin. He later saw Miss McCauley when she was in danger and could see that Erin was on her way to stake his dad. In episode 3 of series 5, Vlad shows he can control these visions as he manages to get a vision of his mother.
  • Hypnotism: Vlad has the ability to hypnotise people and make them do what he wants with a flick of his fingers. In Season 1 Episode 5, "Home Education", he hypnotised Count Dracula and in Series 3 episode 2 Vlad hypnotised Renfield. Later on in series 3 Vlad used his hypnosis to overide the Count's power over year 9 (the Count was using them to teach chess to Wolfie) and take them out of his trance.

  • Telepathy: Vlad can send messages and images in his mind to other vampires. It was seen in Season 3 Episode 3, 'Faustian Slip' that he can also block telepathic messages. In Episode 3 of Series 5 Vlad uses telepathy along with a photo to get a vision of his mother.
  • Telekinesis: He can move objects and people without touching them, such as in 'Bad Vlad' when he blew Ingrid out of the school with just his breath. Also in Season 3 Episode 6, "Blood Thief", Vlad opened a door that was locked just by looking at it. He also opened a door without doing anything in Episode 1 of series 5
  • Flight: Vlad can fly in human form and as a bat. This is shown throughout seasons 3 and 4.
  • Shapeshifting: Vlad has changed into both a bat and a wolf (although the latter was in a dream). Plus in Season 3 Episode 1, "Hide And Seek" he made his head large to scare the slayers.
  • Fire Creation: This is shown to be a common vampire power mostly used by the Count and sometimes Vlad to light candles.
  • Fireballs: First seen in Season 2 Episode 6, "Baby Dracula", where he sets fire to Zoltan's tail (this is very rare for a vampire of his age). Later in Season 3 Episode 12, Blood Loyalties, he also used fireballs to attack the slayer super-weapon and to compete with Sethius in All For One.
  • IntangibilityIn the season 4 episode Bloodbound, Vlad ran through a gate. Also in series 4 episode 11 he runs though his bedroom door, and into a ventiliation shaft. In Season 3, he seems to show this ability when he disappears through a wall in Blood Theif.

    Vlad using his Shockwave power

    Electricity Generation: In Season 3, "All For One". Vlad shot electricity onto the wall to compete with Sethius. He later used this in Season 4 to kill several vampires.
  • Shockwave Generation: Vlad can emit shockwaves that can knock people and vampires back. In season 4 episode 1 he used it to break up the vampire and slayer fight.
  • Zoning: The ability to turn someone into a crystalised form, this power has not been shown by anyone other than vlad, it was a lost power that no one had be able to do in over 500 years untill Vlad who "pick it up so fast it was live a birth right". In season 4, he gets annoyed and zones Bertrand.  He also uses it to get rid of Elizabeta and trap her in the blood mirror.
  • Mind Reading: Erin can read Vlad's mind because she is his first bite, she later loses this ability. Vlad could also read Erin's mind for the same reason, however whether breaking the binding stopped him from reading Erin's mind is uncertain.
  • ProjectionVlad can project people's future on surfaces. However, he may just have told Erin it was her future to scare her.
  • Body control: In the second episode of series 3 it was shown that Vlad could control the movements of Bertrand and force him to kneel down. In episode 2 of season 5 he forces his father on the ground after he finds out he is half-breather.
  • Technology disablement: In Series 3 Episode 2, before he controlled Bertrands movement, he disabled the UV cage holding him - which was initially disabling a piece of technology.
  • Underwater breathing: This has never been seen, although technically, as vampires do not need to breath, they can survive underwater (however vamps can't cross running water).

There are many more vampiric powers - both known and unknown, that Vlad could potentially learn.
