Boris Tepes Dracula

Boris Tepes Dracula

The descendent of the Vlad Tepes Dracula of Wallachia, Boris was one of Hao's servants. Vlad, known as the Impaler, defended his country but was branded a vampire for his techniques. Although his family is human, they gained shamanic powers from Hao (in his first reincarnation). Boris is usually grim, brooding over the fate of his family, but he vowed too serve Hao forever. He fights Ryu to keep him from reaching the patch village, but ultimately fails. Beaten and spiritless, Boris was eventually killed by the X-Laws.

Blamuro

Boris's spirit ally is the vampire hunter Blamuro. Blamuro had originally hunted down members of Boris's family, but was captured and tortured until he no longer knew right from wrong. Boris uses blood as his medium, taking the form of a shapeshifting cape. With it, he can absorb blood from other people, quickly heal himself, and create spikes to impale people with.
