Revision as of 14:53, 3 October 2019
Vlad III Tepes (1431 – 1476), also known by the title of Vlad the Impaler; his birth name, Vlad Draculesti; and the patronymic name Dracula, was a Voivode of Wallachia who ruled the region intermittently from 1448 to 1476.
As a member of the Templar Order, Vlad Tepes played a significant role in the Order's fight against the Ottoman Empire. In 1476, Vlad was defeated by Ishak Pasha, the Ottoman Grand Vizier and, incidentally, the leader of the Ottoman Assassins.
Following his capture, Vlad died shortly after, with his decapitated head brought back to Constantinople as a trophy, and together with his sword, deposited in a specially made prison just outside the Constantinian Walls. The sword was eventually recovered in 1511 by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Mentor of the Italian Assassins.[1]
In 2012, his genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by the Templar company Abstergo Industries, for the second stage of training for the recruits in their Animi Training Program, under the title of the Count.[2]
