Description Graf Orlok is considered to be one of the earliest vampires in existence and as a result, no one knows his exact history for sure, just the stories that he's told. Some of them even conflicting with each other like being an ancient alchemist who sought the Philosopher's Stone for immortality and accidentally summoned a Demon who cursed him with vampiric immortality or the story where he was once a handsome young noblemen who was cursed and turned into a hideous creature of the night by a witch for stealing from her or the final story of Orlok having never been a human at all, but instead a monster that came from the Black Forests who resided in a subterranean system of vast caves and fed on those unluckily enough to trespass in his territory.

The only one that knows much of Orlock's history is the vampire lord, Drake. When Drake was alive as Vlad the Impaler, he was killed by a servant under the command of his father and learned the truth of his death. Drake in the darkness of death heard a voice ask him "Would you do anything to return and seek vengeance ?" Drake accepted the offer and in the physical world, Orlock cut himself and let his black blood fall into Drake's mouth, resurrecting him as a vampire and sending him off to kill all those who killed him or stood in his way. Drake rose to power like Orlock predicted, but one thing Orlock didn't count on was Drake not learning to call the ancient vampire his master. When Orlock commanded Drake to kneel before him, Drake attacked and a battle between two darknesses commenced with Drake being the victor. Being immortal, Orlock is unable to be killed and stay dead for very long (max. 5 minutes) so Drake sought the deepest, darkest, most isolated place in the world and stuck Orlock there in a small, cramped box where he would stay for 2000 years. Orlock would later escape and has spent the years of freedom, partying and drinking intoxicated people, ignoring the rest of the world until a familiar face comes around and threatens to send him back in the box. Orlock now must orchestrate a plan to destroy his own creation, Drake. 

Drake's personality is that of a person who is arrogant, obnoxious and too full of himself and certain that things will go according to his plan. Despite all this, Orlock is indeed a powerful Vampire, with super strength and speed that out rivals that of Drake. Orlock is also a Shadowmancer, who is able to control shadows and shpeshift them into anything he wishes such weapons and animals and his own shadow is sentient and goes by the name of "Belial" a shadow demon in the Demonic Bestiary that grows in size and affects others by touching their shadows. 

Even though Orlok is powerful and immortal, he is still a Vampire whose weaknesses are the same as others such as Silver weapons, Holy Items/Artifacts, Holy Light magic and sunlight. These won't kill him, but still bring a tremendous amount of pain.

Personally, I think he's too pretty. He's supposed to be based off of the original count from the movie, right? Well, this looks nothing like that. I thought you'd redesign him to be, uglier, and more of a monster. He just looks like a lot of modern vampires, the bad ones. I think it'd be better of he looked more like this: whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Nosf…

That, is the face of a monster. And Graf here? He is clearly a monster.

Well this is just his public appearance. He does take on a look similar to what's in the link, but he's spent 17 hundred years being ugly, so when he came back, he spent hours in a blood bath (a literal one) just so that he can gain what his early 30s appearance.

Ah. But, I'm guessing it's only temporary. Eventually, those good looks fade away, so he has to find more blood to keep his appearance. Right?

Yeah, a vampire's power wanes as they take longer to feed, so any change in appearance will go right out the door with enough time.

Wow, I was expecting a lot of things but I did not expect Orlock (like the little name change) to actually be the reason for Drake being a Vampire, I'm guessing it makes him one of the main villains for the Monstrosities group? Especially for Drake, wonder what Orlock did to make Drake defy him and send him in a box for 2000 years?

Like his outfit and the shoulder armor things they look cool especially the hair, the black eyes and yellow are actually something I considered giving to Orlock in the earlier concepts, it looks good for the "Bird of Death".

Well I wanted Orlock's story to tie into Drake's in a big way. So Orlock turning Drake was the solution to that. Orlock trying to control Drake is what made the younger vampire turn against him. Drake considers himself his own master and will serve no one else.

Glad you like the additions to his design.

Why does this sound familiar?
