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.
