Adrian Țepeș Husbando

Adrian Țepeș, more commonly known by the pseudonym Alucard, is one of the main protagonists of the Netflix original series, Castlevania, and returns in its sequel/spin-off, Castlevania: Nocturne. He is the son of Vlad "Dracula" Țepeș and the late Lisa Țepeș. He is voiced by James Callis in the English versions of both shows. Alucard is a handsome young man with a chiseled and slightly pointed face, pale skin, long wavy pale blond hair down to his back, and golden eyes. He usually wears tight black leather clothing with black boots and usually wears either a coat with a long cape or a long cape over his shoulders. Adrian "Alucard" Țepeș could be said to represent the best of both his parents. Like his father, he is intelligent and deadly in battle, yet he possesses his mother's class and kindness. Alucard is often calm and composed, slow to anger and other displays of emotion, even when in battle. Alucard proves himself to be a man of justice at the start of Season 1. When overhearing Dracula's plans to exterminate humanity in vengeance for Lisa's unjust murder, he rationally suggests his father should only kill the Bishop, who ordered the execution. Like his father, Alucard was grieved by his mother's death and wanted retribution but avoided committing further injustice. He did his best to convince his father to avoid harming innocents before it became clear they would come to blows over the issue. After being wounded by his father, Alucard retreated to recover from his injuries and became convinced that his father shall, regrettably, be killed since rational discussion had failed. He came to this decision because he believes it is what his mother would have wanted if she knew what evil Dracula intended in retribution for her death. When meeting Trevor and Sypha, Alucard was forthcoming when answering questions, but was equally inquisitive, so to be sure if his new acquaintances would be up for the task he believed they were prophesied to commit. Alucard does not take kindly to Trevor's rude behavior and threats, resulting in Alucard issuing a duel to him; it is implied this was more of a test to Trevor than out of anger. When dueling with Trevor, Alucard clarifies he dislikes fighting dirty, such as blows below the belt. The resulting duel and Alucard's amusement with Trevor suggest that he respects strength, bravery and conviction above all. This is also suggested by his admiration of Sypha after she throws aside her preconceptions of him as "the sleeping soldier" if it meant protecting Trevor and the citizens of Wallachia. Seeing the lengths that Trevor and Sypha would go to protect the innocent, Alucard acknowledges the two as his prophesized allies. He reveals his full identity and intentions before welcoming the two to be his allies in the battles to come. Alucard's relationship with Trevor remains adversarial after they agree to work together. Both men coming from conflicting backgrounds. They often insult and annoy each other; however, even though neither would admit it verbally, they both respect each other. After some time, Trevor and Alucard's adversarial dynamic turns to tough brotherly love. After Dracula is killed, Alucard wants to die in Castlevania, but Trevor attempts to give him a new purpose. Trevor bequeaths the Belmont Hold to Alucard, so that he can use both it and Castlevania for a higher purpose. Alucard has a more friendly relationship with Sypha. Due to his depression, he has trouble connecting with her, and she notices this. He respects her intellect and appreciates her warm empathy for his pain. Both friendships soothed Alucard, and they left a hole in his heart when they moved on after the war against Dracula. Alucard is a man of intense responsibility. First, he bears the burden of killing his father and then defending Castlevania in solitude. Alucard is resolute in his purpose to kill his father in honor of his mother's wishes to protect humanity. Although he shows no outward signs of doubt, Sypha notices that he is deeply depressed by this heavy burden. In his duel with his father, Alucard succeeds in showing Dracula that his soul died with Lisa. They share a tender moment of recognition, even as Alucard stakes Dracula to death. After Dracula's death, Alucard takes up a new heavy responsibility: guarding Castlevania and the Belmont Hold. After his friends leave him to go on their own adventures, Alucard soon understands the lonely life ahead of him. He has an emotional breakdown, feeling the loss of his parents and the weight of his loneliness. In the month following Dracula's death, Alucard's mind begins to deteriorate in loneliness. All the company he has are two dolls, made to resemble Trevor and Sypha, that he speaks to as if they were his friends. Soon, though, Alucard is visited by Taka and Sumi, aspiring vampire hunters who want to learn from him. Alucard agrees to teach them, glad to have company and eager to help humanity by training new defenders. Alucard soon grows close to his students, although they are impatient to learn. Taka and Sumi eventually approach Alucard in his chamber and seduce him, telling him they are rewarding him for his teachings. After so much pain and loneliness, the pleasure of connection and intimacy brings a rare public tear to Alucard's eyes. This relief is shattered when Alucard's students bind and attempt to kill him for the perceived withholding of information. Alucard had no choice but to kill the two in self-defense and was emotionally crushed by the traumatic event. Never wanting to go through such pain again, Alucard embraces his lonely lifestyle. He hangs the corpses of Taka and Sumi on pikes to scare future visitors away, taking inspiration from his deceased father. Weeks later, Alucard has gone further into his depressive isolation; now drinking heavily. Upon taking Greta's request for help, Alucard realizes that he had slowly been "turning into Belmont" a sad drunk with no direct in life. Spending time with Greta and her people helped heal some of his pain; regaining his sense of humor. Alucard quickly comes to admire Greta for her strong will, intelligence, and dedication to her people. Greta challenges Alucard to become his best self again, guiding him toward the best decisions and admiring his kindness. The two share a playful banter of mutual respect that blossoms into attraction. Alucard was elated that Trevor and Sypha returned during the final battle against Death. Afterward, Alucard decided to found the Village of Belmont next to the castle in hopes of teaching a new generation science and of mystical lore. Becoming the protector of a community, surrounded by his friends, Alucard is surprised to realize he has found happiness.
