Renfield the patient at Dr. Seward's insane asylum
In the beginning, he reserves to science and reason (hence the word "Dr." Seward). However, his belief changes and reserves to superstition to solve problems. That is why Dr. Van Helsing is summoned. He is a doctor of philosophy and does not reserve to reason. So Dr. Van Helsing represents superstition.
My honest opinion on this one is that it was actually never named. It has become known is some statements as 'Dr. Seward's Asylum for the Mentally Ill'. But that is about where it ends.
Dr. John Seward, one of the three suitors of Lucy Westenra, is the administrator of the asylum, which is not far from Count Dracula's first English home--Carfax. During the story, Seward conducts several interveiws with one particular patient, Renfield, in order to better understand the patient's life consuming psychosis. His mentor and teacher was Abraham Van Helsing.
His enemies are Arthur Holmwood (later Lord Godalming), Wilhelmina ´Mina´ Murray (later Harker), Jonathan Harker, Dr. Seward, Quincey P. Morris and Professor Abraham van Helsing.
