Vlad III

ヴラド三世

Biography

Lancer of "Black" ("黒"のランサー, "Kuro" no Ransā) is the Lancer-class Servant of Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia of the Black Faction in the Great Holy Grail War of Fate/Apocrypha. Lancer's True Name is Vlad III (ヴラド三世, Vurado Sansei), the Lord Impaler (串刺し公, Kushizashi Kō) (1431-1476), the greatest hero of Wallachia, whose feats in war caused him to be known fearsomely as the "Impaling Prince" to the Turks. Due to the legends associated with him, another name has been spread across the world, The Little Dragon, better known as the vampire Count Dracula. While the nation was small, he was a hero who ascended to the throne and managed to turn back the numerous invasions of the Ottoman Empire that had trampled over every other country. Though the model for Dracula, he was not a vampire, but a man of devotion and great hero. It is said that the difference between him and his counterpart is their aspects being different, Fate/Apocrypha's version being Vlad III's aspect as a King, while his Fate/EXTRA counterpart is his aspect of a Warrior.
