About 400 years ago, a man and a beautiful woman named Elisabeta lived peacefully, sharing a deep love. Their bond seemed unbreakable.

However, a war among the gods broke out, and caught in the crossfire, she lost her life. In his grief and rage, the man cursed God, burned the Bible, and drove a sword through the cross. Consequently, he was cursed to be trapped in eternal life, forever hungering for blood.

That man became Dracula.

Near the end of the Victorian era, Dracula meets Jonathan, a solicitor, to arrange his move from his Transylvanian estate to England. There, he encounters Jonathan's fiancée, Mina. He is shocked by her face; she is the spitting image of Elisabeta, the woman he has sought for 400 years.

Though he had long survived on non-human blood, he eventually drinks Jonathan's blood to regain his youth and moves to Whitby Bay to find Mina.
