Personality

Beneath a courtly exterior he is a self-serving schemer, feigning alliance with his fellow villains while quietly working to rob them and advance only his family's interests.

History

He enters the story as an apparent antagonist. When Undead Berserk and Death Lamia seek his help against the Sailor Senshi, he secretly turns on them, aiming to steal the Samael Flasks and the homunculus they produce so his daughter can feed on their blood. To that end he sets Chibiusa and Hotaru loose and covertly turns several figures, among them one of the Death Nightmares, Mamoru, and Michiru, into vampires to loose against both the guardians and his rival villains. He keeps a castle in Shizen Park and passes his time as a magician.

He claims to be the very source of the Dracula tale, and it later comes out that he is the biblical Abel, made a vampire after Cain struck him down when God favored Abel's offering. For all his fame in vampire lore, the usual remedies do nothing to him, since crosses, stakes to the heart, garlic, and sunlight all fail, as do the milk and mirror the Senshi comically try. In the first production he takes Berserk's Samael Jihad attack while leaping in front of Sailor Moon and is presumed dead, though the following musical reveals he was only cast into the underworld. He returns near the midpoint of that show and spends much of it recovering inside his coffin.
