WARNING: 

Andrew:
Andrew was Vlad's second and smartest student. Andrew looked up to Vlad and many of the other ancient vampires. He always wanted to be like Vlad and hope to one day become his successor. He felt like he had a bit of a rivalry when it came to Camille impressing vlad more than he did. He lived in the mansion with Vlad and his other two peers.


 

Brandy Wood:
 Brandy was Vlad's third pupil who lived inside the mansion with him, Andrew & Samantha. She looked as Vlad as a father figure.


 

Samantha Gratz:
 Samantha was Vlad's fourth and final pupil. She had the same views like Brandy does towards Vlad: Father figure. She too despised the sun as much as Vlad did. Samantha lived in the Mansion with both Brandy, Andrew and Vlad.


 

Camille Snow:

Vlad is the first Ancient one Camille comes in contact with. Their first meeting was rather awkward, due to the fact that Vlad's main goal was to drain Camille's parents but the plan had backfired once he realized that the newcomers work at night. The two became friends very quickly. During her childhood, every night Vlad would come to visit Camille and would leave when her parents came home. When Camille goes to sleep, her nightmares would haunt her even more frequently, this usually happens when Vlad is around or at least nearby.

One night Camille became very ill, her parents took her to the local hospital but the hospital was closed. Vlad at the time was doing his daily evening walking and found Camille's parents in desperate needs to find help for their daughter. Without hesitation, Vlad had responded to Camille's parents and lied to them, pretending that he was the "new" doctor of Forgotten Hollow and that he can be of aid for Camille. After Camille's parents accepted Vlad's help (after being a bit skeptical), Vlad takes in a very sick Camille into his home... Not only does he found out that Camille became Anemic.

Camille was also the one who was feeding Vlad her blood by pretending they were "fruit pouches". Vlad became upset about this and made it his responsibility to make sure Camille gets well. When Camille woken up after a week of staying with Vlad, she was re- met by the same strange old man she, first saw looking down at her when her and her parents first moved into forgotten hollow. It turned out that all this time he was Vlad. 

Vlad had told Camille of her current conditions and that she was to stay with him for awhile. Camille seem to be rather fond about this, for Vlad was her only friend in Forgotten Hollow at this time. Camille would usually have her play times during the daylight hours while Vlad is asleep, during sundown Vlad would lecture her studies. If Camille does a good job he would sometimes take her outside to play at night. This was most likely due to the fact that Vlad is a Vampire and he cannot do stuff during the daylight hours.

Towards their final moments together Vlad decided that it would be best that Camille forgets about him and everything they have done together by erasing her memories at the end towards episode 1 of "I know who you are". This was mostly out of guilt and with Camille being around Vlad she would eventually put herself into more danger.

Seventeen years had passed since Vlad and Camille met. In the present timeline Camille does not even know that Vlad even exist or is the old man that she meets when coming back to Forgotten Hollow. The only thing she can remember him by is the "monster" in her dreams. The two at first kept their distance though Camille was rather curious to why Vlad always played chess alone every night. When she tried to join a game with him, Vlad quickly left leaving Camille dumbfounded.

It is only in episode 4 of "Bitten" is where Vlad makes contact with Camille after rescuing her along with Caleb Vatore from the other vampires that was planning to do a ritual sacrifice. When Caleb had bitten Camille, he had given Vlad the task to make sure her transformation of becoming a Vampiress runs smoothly. Vlad was not actually too thrilled of having Camille being transformed as vampiress, but he accepts that task and comments about how they re-met again, hinting that Vlad did not forget about Camille.

When Camille had woken up from being rescued and turned into a vampire. Vlad introduced himself and told Camille that she was changing into a vampire. He then gave Andrew, (one of his students) to watch over and teach Camille how to use her powers and control them. At times Vlad would hone in and check on Camille every so often, praise her for how fast she is accelerating things. This does not mean that mean that everything was all gold and peachy between the two.

Vlad and Camille would argue constantly, Vlad even forced Camille to take a blood sample from her friend, Gunther. Vlad also had refuse to help aid Camille when Yuki went missing, but later went thanks to his students pestering him to go watch over Camille.

They bonded a bit more off camera and had a bit of a father/daughter relationship until his death.

 

Vlad is rather silent and keep to himself majority of the time. He usually gets into arguments with the others Caleb and Camille majority of the time. Vlad is the most intelligent out of the whole group and use this intelligent as a counter argument. 

During the series he is shown to be very humble yet his true personality begins to shine as a reminder to the viewer that Vlad has evil intentions and thinking. Which he forces Camille to suck the blood out of one her friends and not considering to help Camille find her friend Yuki who mysteriously disappeared, in episode 8 of: Voices. Vlad shows the evil side again when he stated he had no remorse for Lilith and Caleb's mother Julia, or the other vampires when confronted by Caleb in episode 9: Mother.

Despite His dark nature deep down even though he truly does not show it, Vlad really do care about those around him, especially when it comes to Camille. Vlad might seen as calm and collective but he is really not all that "calm".  In episode 8 of:  Voices. Vlad lost his temper when losing an argument for once against Camille this is also shown again when he was confronted by Ellie in episode 10: "Au revior IV".

Vlad is also quite manner and humble like every other vampire.



 

Abilities:  Vlad is known to be the strongest vampire that have ever lived. He can teleport as a Mist or turn into a bat. He can also wipe the memories of other people he comes into contact with, Like Camille for example in Episode 1: I know who you are. He also can send souls back to the dead by using a blinding light which was revealed in Episode 4 Bitten.

Vlad can also sense when a human is transforming into a vampire and estimate the amount of days before they completely transform, while most Vampires only can tell when a human is bitten by the bite mark on their neck. He also has the Ability to change a human into a vampire. He can even enter one dreams but not be able to interfere.

Vladislaus Straud, also known as Count Vladislaus Straud IV or Vlad for short, is one the main protagonist. For Snow: Tales of the Ancient one.  He first appears in episode one. He is also a pre-made sim for the game pack of: The sims 4 vampire gamepack.

The sims 4 bio

Vlad has lived in Forgotten Hollow for 200 years. There is a statue of Vlad in the town center. The Humans of forgotten Hollow thinks that the statue is of his Great Grandfather, Vladislaus Straud the First, but the local vampires know the truth; Vlad founded Forgotten Hollow and he still runs it.

By sunset, Vlad starts his daily routine which includes playing some haunting melodies on the pipe organ and taking a walk through the cemetery of his estate. When the sun starts coming up, Vlad spends some time in dark meditation to re-energize himself and reading through the Encyclopedia Vampirica, most of which is about him, before he descends into his crypt.
Vlad dislikes his neighbors, the Vatore siblings, Caleb and Lilith, as they believe in alternatives options to the traditional drinking of a human. At high moon, Vlad and Caleb once had a duel which Vlad won.

 

Tales of the Ancient ones:
Vlad first met Camille when she was eight years old. Vlad has been known to not drink the blood of a human child, or cattle as he likes to prefer. It was not long until he develop a small bond with her. 

 

Later on down the road Camille had gotten very ill, due to offering her blood towards Vlad without him realizing it. Once he found out that Camille became Anemic due to his actions Vlad decided to wipe the memories of Camille's meeting with him while she was sleep, but have been transition into one of her nightmares. Which is later to be revealed about his past and what was to come to her in the future. 

He is the only Ancient being or vampire who truly knows what or who Camille really is and in order to protect her he tries wiping her memories hoping that him and Camille will never meet again. 

Sadly his plans result in failure when Camille comes back to forgotten Hollow as an adult, she has little to no memories of Vlad and once Vlad and her are in contact with each other, Vlad usually pushes her away, but deep down he is only doing this to protect her.

While Vlad cannot stand the Vatore siblings, Caleb tries to get in between Vlad and Camille. Vlad warns Caleb to stay away from Camille because not only will he bring danger to himself but to Camille as well. 

The reasoning for this not exactly known but in episode 4 of Bitten. It is revealed that Camille had wounded up into some sort of key ritual of bringing something or someone back from the dead.
In episode 5: Allies  Vlad and Camille reunites with each other. With Camille still not knowing about who Vlad truly is.

He takes in young, orphan vampires or humans that are turning into vampires and teaches them their ways of becoming a vampire.

Vladislaus is currently the only last remaining 24 original vampires.

 

In Forgotten Hollow, Vlad tends to himself.  During the daylight hours he watches the town bustles with life through the guest window. At night he goes on a stroll looking for prey plays chess by himself. If he's not doing any of these things, he is playing his Organ or is simply reading the Vampire tome. 

Sometimes he visits Camille when she is sleeping, during her adulthood he tends to stay away from her and watch over her from afar.

Personality

Relationships:
 

" A younger version of Vlad looking towards the viewer episode 9: Mother "

Caleb Vatore:

Vlad and Caleb's relationship is rather rocky. Ever since a child, Caleb found Vlad to be rather creepy and referring him to snagged/crooked tooth vampire/bird beak. As an adult Caleb hated Vlad's guts after finding out the truth of what happened to his mother, Julia.

Caleb and Vlad are polar opposites when it comes to viewing humans. Vlad looks at humans as cattle. While Caleb views them as actual human being, like his mother Caleb rather befriend the humans of forgotten hollow and live in peace with them. Vlad tried to stir both Caleb and Lilith into hating humans but the two, refused to budge.

Caleb fights with Vlad often and sometimes it can be a serious fight. It usually ends up with Caleb losing the fight majority of the time. When it comes to Camille being in danger the two can put their past side differences to the side and work together to rescue her.

Jocelyn snow:

Jocelyn is Camille's mother, who asked Vlad to take care of her and make sure she gets better. There's not really much of relationship between Vlad and Jocelyn, other than Vlad being there for Jocelyn when it comes to Camille. Vlad also rescued Jocelyn from getting killed by one of the grand master vampires, Adam.

Lilith Vatore: 

 Lilith is Caleb's twin sister, Like Caleb she too has a different view on humans unlike Vlad. However, unlike Caleb who despise Vlad, Lilith does not hate or resent Vlad despite what Vlad had told her and her brother. Lilith at times shares the same views with Vlad, still feeding on humans while trying out plasma. Vlad can put up with her more than he could put up with her brother, Caleb.

Jenna Jones:

Jenna is Vlad's first pupil. The two had met when Jenna was a small child on a night that Vlad came to check on young camille. Jenna left the city life to travel back to forgotten Hollow once she was transformed into a vampire. There, she had met Vlad who saw the look in her eyes that she was confused and lost on what to do as a vampire. Vlad took her under her wing and taught her everything he knew about how vampires work.

Being around him until the age of eighteen, Jenna decided to go her own way and live on her own with her new profound powers. Vlad dislike it when Jenna refers to "Vampires" as "Ancient Ones" since that is a term humans in forgotten hollow describe them as. She quickly corrects herself every time she let this word slip out of her mouth, for if she did not. Vlad would given her a big history lesson about why vampires should not be using such word.

During the Twilight Arc, Jenna was revealed to have close connections with Miss Hell and her gang, however Jenna was always will be more loyal to Vlad than to any other vampire out there. When things were stirring in the air, with missing girls being taken away from their home. Vlad had told Jenna to investigate about what was happening in Forgotten Hollow. Each time Jenna would visit vlad she would come back with information from what she gathered.

Like Camille, Vlad shared a father like daughter bond with Jenna. 

During her death though Vlad doesn't seem that upset but had show bit of rage towards Ellie when he founds out that she had something to do with it.


 

Death

Vlad's death occurs in Episode 10 Au Revior IV.  his death was caused by sunlight. He was at his home playing his pipe organ and doing his usual routines. Andrew had came to him questioning about Jenna's death and how it is related towards Camille's friend going missing, Yuki. This rose suspension towards Vlad that Jenna's death was planned by someone who was out to get get Camille.

Before he can reveal who he thought the murder of Jenna is.
A spirit of Ellie appears of know where and confronts Vlad, saying that he was correct about his theory. Only Vlad could see Ellie and not Andrew, in fact Andrew thought Vlad was hallucinating at the time. Ellie then use an orb a light where she transferred Vlad's soul into entirely different realm or vortex. There Vlad re-unites with a mysterious Duchess name Luciene and a little girl who's name is still not known yet but it is refer to "Little Lady".

there are then countless Flashbacks of him and Luciene with the flash back ending with him running out of his mansion, still hallucinating and fighting with Ellie. It was honestly too late by the time Camille and Caleb had arrived at the scene. Vlad died to exposure of the sun.
