The count is frequently described as pale and mysterious who preys on certain people. He usually gets his revenge at night. I suppose this is vampire-like. When Dumas is re-born as the Count, he takes on a dark otherworldly persona. He is almost like the archetypal damaged superhero out for revenge and justice.
