He lived there
Count Dracula, a fictional character in the Dracula novel, was inspired by one of the best-known figures of the Romanian history — Vlad Dracula, nicknamed Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) — who was a ruler of Wallachia (1456-1462). Transylvania is an area in Romania. Vlad died in battle, over the age of fifty. He will always be remembered. Many remember him as a cruel fiend. Some remember him as a proud and fierce defender of his homeland. He was, perhaps, both.
"Dracula" means "son of the devil". Although it is said, people do not drink blood... there are people who are obsessed with keeping their youth. Nonetheless, it is just a scary tale that people tell to scare you. To put it simply....no there is no such thing as Dracula.
The word Dracula comes from Draconian which means to be vicious or nasty. The word comes from the Draconian family who ruled a European country

What is another form that the vampire Dracula could take?
His Mom. Dracula was a knight in The Order of the Dragon, a Christian order that was dedicated to keeping the Turks from over-running Europe. (see link) His Father was also of the same order and was known as Dracu (the dragon) Dracula means son of the dragon. After one battle Dracula returned home to find that his beloved had committed suicide. Apparently the Turks had gotten news to her (before his return) that he had died in battle and she couldn't live without him. At this very un-opportune moment the priest chose to announce that she, as a suicide, couldn't be buried in a Christian grave-yard and that her soul was condemned to hell - at which Dracula cursed God and drank blood. Shortly afterwards Dracula was known as a vampire. From this is it easy to see why Dracula is much conflicted over religion, is unable to look at a crucifix. This, by the way, was a trait unique to Dracula and is not universal to all vampires. So if you are confronted by a vampire don't rely on a crucifix to save you. That only works on Dracula and he's already destroyed.
