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").

Yes, the legend of Dracula is loosely based on a real person named Vlad the Impaler, who was a ruler of Wallachia in the 15th century. While Vlad was known for his brutal tactics, the vampire myth associated with Dracula was largely popularized by Bram Stoker's fictional novel.
