Dracula

Dracula is Alucard’s father and the source of the castle’s recurring threat. Their relationship gives the final conflict a family dimension shaped by grief and incompatible responses to humanity.

• Story: The complete route moves beyond Richter and through the inverted castle toward the final confrontation. Family memories and earlier events shape the ending’s meaning.
