Bias
When I encountered it, article said:
- As the Doctor told his companion Peri Brown, the real version of Dracula — in spite of the absence of fangs, bats and walking down the sides of castle walls — was actually worse than his fictional namesake.
Though he definitely says this, it doesn't represent the point the Doctor is trying to make throughout the piece. It needs to be balanced by the fact that he genuinely wishes Vlad well at the end of the piece, and that — at the point of this conversation with Peri — he hasn't even met Vlad yet. He's just working off of Vlad's historical reputation, which the story is at pains to say is propaganda created by the Turks.

Kristoff Alucard
Currently, Kristoff Alucard redirects to this page. Kristoff Alucard is a recurring Paul Magrs/Obverse Books version of Dracula (hence the surname), who most notably appears in The Dreadful Flap. But he's not like the historical character, he's an actual vampire. I don't think a direct connection has been made to the real Vlad III, so I think it should be a separate page. I don't really understand how to do that, though. Fwhiffahder ☎ 15:48, December 17, 2016 (UTC)
