-(dark and foreboding voice) Behold the unholiest of ancient evils that dwells beyond sin. It will suck your chips away from you like the damnation of a thousand souls.
-You can save the theatrics, Vlad. Nobody here will be impressed.
-Thank God. I think I'm getting laryngitis from making speeches to whip-bearing imbeciles.
~ Vlad and Count Vile (discussing about the former's self-introduction)

reVlad (an obvious parody of Count Vlad Tepes Dracula) is a major antagonist in the popular Internet series Press Start Adventures. He is the powerful, witty and sarcastic King of Vampires, as well as Count Vile's best friend and phone buddy, who leads the other parodic villains of the series on his behalf.

About Vlad[]

Vlad’s appearance mixes both is vampiric and Dark Lord nature. He is entirely black, save from his blue hair and red eyes, as if made of darkness. What appears to be his cloak are in fact a folded pair of bat-like winged arms, which he uses like hands but only when pointing at something or typing on his (tombstone-like) computer. He is constantly surrounded by bats that hold every object he uses, such as his telephone, or (incredibly complicated) maps of his castle which he knows by heart.

Vlad is Count Vile's best friend and his second-in-command of the secondary villains. They spend hours in phone conversations about villains' matter. He assists Vile in his plans to take over the world and gives him advice, though he sometimes gets annoyed by his friend's antics, to the point of berating him. (It must be noted that he is the only one to have ever done so.) Vlad is poised, polite and mostly imperturbable, though he is so used to whacky antics that he is no longer phased. He is far and away the most dry-witted and deadpan character in a series full of sarcasm. He is also very lazy and spends most of his time watching TV in the lounge of his castle.

Watching TV

Vlad’s right-hand-woman is a powerful succubus called Morgan Le Slay, whom he often sends on missions which she always fulfils, though she sometimes ends the most tedious earlier than she must.

Like his inspiration Vlad is in permanent conflict with the Belfast Family of Vampire Hunters, who keep storming his castle to slay him. He has been killed and resurrected many about a thousand times according to Vile.

He is so used to it that he merely welcomes them with an annoyed sigh, before making fun of their "screwed-up family tree", the "religious artifacts that they use as blunt objects", and the fact that they use money that they found in his own castle. Vlad's current foe is Trenton Belfast, a powerful but air-headed vampire hunter who often barges in through a window, to "really, seriously, actually put an end to his evil."

Whenever he gets killed, he crumbles to dust and his castle collapses, only to reappear 15 minutes later. Interestingly enough, Vlad does not fight by hurling "Hellfire" fireballs but by summoning powerful bolts of lightning. But Vlad’s worst enemies are not the Belfasts; they are the agents of the DMA (Department of Metaphysical Affairs) who keep inspecting his castle. (First to see if it fits the rules of every evil-hideout, then to investigate on the death of the previous agents that Vlad killed by leading them into traps that crushes them under a spiky pillar.)

Vlad has to deal with so many intruders that he often wonders how useful all his guards are. At some point he had to face countless intruders at once and lost his temper, angrily dealing with all of them in about twenty seconds.

Role in the Story[]

Vlad's Castle

Vlad's own "Castlevania".

Vlad gets more focus in the second season. As Vile got killed and sent to Hell at the end of the movie, he defeated Satan and took his place, planning to open Hell's Gates and invade the world with his armies of demons. To do so, he needs three keys and he asks Vlad to gather the ones present in the land of livings.

Vlad sends Morgan to fetch a lock of Zack Nimbus' hair, which they use to create an evil twin of him. They order him to go and kill his model, since Vile's victor's blood is the first key. Yet, having been created with a grey Chocobird egg instead of a silver one (frustratingly hard to get), he behaves in a ridiculously stereotypical way and ends up killed. Then again, since he is a perfect clone of Zack his blood works for the ritual.

Then, Vlad tasks the villains' gang to kill Zack's comrade Lin-Ku and get his axe, the second key, having them cause countless "evil alerts" all over the world. They keep failing until Vlad sets a trap in a deserted warehouse. As Lin-Ku is rushing towards the (empty) treasure chests, Vlad barges in with the entire villains' gang to kill them. Lin-Ku’s axe is stolen by a Like Like, who deflected his shurikens back at Zack, while Vlad blasts Sam with lightning and seizes her.

Vlad transforms

Behold his true form and despair!!... or not.

Fortunately, the entire Resistance shows up and trounces the villains. Irked, Vlad is about to reveal his true form but he decides against at the last minute, since he the axe.

Vlad is next seen when Count Vile and the few of his servants who successfully escaped Hell (and the horde of giant Pac Men from the in-between). He berates Vile on his failure and unceremoniously leaves to watch TV.

Second Movie[]

Vlad appears in the second movie Press Start 2 Continue, where He and Vile have several calls to gloat on one another's faces. (While Morgan has become the chief scientist of Vile's V Corporation to get her revenge on Lin-Ku, who tore her wings off.) Vlad and King Reptilor (parody of Bowser) have copied Count Vile and started their own manufacturing companies.

Vlad has launched a line of "Slay Station" consoles and a very succesful social network to monitor everyone in the world. He also cast an ancient Mesopotamian curse, the "Crimson Circle of Despair", on Reptilor's products... which is accidentally instrumental in Vile's undoing at the end, when his Master Vee Controller gets in contact with them. After Vile is turned into a Jackamo card, Vlad assures Johnson that he is neither on Earth nor in Hell. He then decides to fetch Morgan and return to his castle, since he had enough of playing the corrupt CEO.
