Plot

In the 15th century, Vlad Dracula is the Prince of Wallachia and Transylvania. As a child, he was a royal ward of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and was trained to be a soldier in Sultan's elite janissary corps, where he became their most feared warrior, earning the moniker "Vlad the Impaler, Son of the Dragon", but became sickened by his own actions and abandoned his past.

Now ruling his domains in peace, Vlad and his soldiers discover a helmet in a stream and fear that an Ottoman scouting party is preparing for an invasion. The stream leads to Broken Tooth Mountain. They are attacked by a humanoid creature inside a cave that kills Vlad's retinue. Vlad barely escapes and returns to his castle, where he learns from Brother Lucian, a local monk of the Romanian Orthodox Church, that the creature is a vampire; once a General from the Roman Legions named Caligula, who was tricked by a demon for power, but was trapped in the cave. Vlad celebrates an Orthodox Easter feast with his wife Mirena and son Ingeras as an Ottoman contingent arrives at the castle, but the emissary demands a tribute

Vlad III, commonly known as Vlad the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad Țepeș[ˈvlad ˈtsepeʃ]) or Vlad Dracula (; Romanian: Vlad Drăculea[ˈdrəkule̯a]; 1428/31 – 1476/77), was Voivode of Wallachia three times between 1448 and his death in 1476/77. He is often considered one of the most important rulers in Wallachian history and a national hero of Romania.

He was the second son of Vlad Dracul, who became the ruler of Wallachia in 1436. Vlad and his younger brother, Radu, were held as hostages in the Ottoman Empire in 1442 to secure their father's loyalty. Vlad's eldest brother Mircea and their father were murdered after John Hunyadi, regent-governor of Hungary, invaded Wallachia in 1447. Hunyadi installed Vlad's second cousin, Vladislav II, as the new voivode. Hunyadi launched a military campaign against the Ottomans in the autumn of 1448, and Vladislav accompanied him. Vlad broke into Wallachia with Ottoman support in October, but Vladislav returned, and Vlad sought refuge in the Ottoman Empire before the end of the year. Vlad went to Moldavia in 1449 or 1450 and later to Hungary.

Relations between Hungary and Vladislav later deteriorated, and in 1456 Vlad invaded Wallachia with Hungarian support. Vladislav died fighting against him. Vlad began a purge among the Wallachian boyars to strengthen his position. He came into conflict with the Transylvanian Saxons, who supported his opponents, Dan and Basarab Laiotă (who were Vladislav's brothers), and Vlad's illegitimate
