Dracula is based off of Vlad the Impaler. He ruled in the area of modern-day Romania, Transylvania, and Hungary. He ruled during the 15th century. It is rumored that Dracula is also based off of the Countess Elizabeth Bathory. She resided in Hungary. She was convicted of murder and torture of virgin village women and a few noblewomen. It was told that she drank and bathed in the blood of her victims to make herself youthful. There are some beliefs that her husband also partook in the torture and murder that his wife indulged in.

Vlad Cepeš is a real historical person, ruler from Romania who lived in the 15th century. Bram Stoker based his Dracula novel on his life.
Vlad III Dracula of Wallachia (also known as Vlad the Impaler and Vlad ÈšepeÈ™) was the namesake basis of the character Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Well, long time ago there is a real live dracula name Vlad tepes, born in {1431-1476}, who Count Dracula is loosely based on.

Dracula was just a name used for a vampire by Universal Studios. The vampire legend is loosely based on a real historical figure Vlad the impaler.
dracula was a character who was a vampire in Bram Stokers book ' dracula'. he is based off of the blood thirsty king known as Vlad the impaler because vlad was bloodthirsty and killed many many people in terrible disgusting ways.
Castlevania's Dracula is loosely based on Count Dracula and the historical figure Vlad Tepes (pronounced te-pesh) the Impaler. Dracula is castlevania is more like a spellcaster and demon and the Count Dracula in the novel is a bit more 'regal and aristocratic.' They bear similar personalities, however. You don't here Count Dracula in the novel using moves like hellfire and demonic megiddo, anyway! :)
The character himself could not be pinpointed on any one individual. However, the name is commonly accepted to have been based off of Vlad III Dracula of Wallachia, Romania (also known as "Vlad the Impaler").
The most famous character who was inspired by the real life Vlad Tepes was of course Dracula. Funny enough, Vlad tepes was also known as Vlad Draculea - translated as son of the dragon, or devil. Bram storker was the man who created the FICTIONAL character Dracula. Remember, Just because the character was based on the actual man, doesn't make everything about the character true.
