Count Victor Draynor Drakan, more commonly known simply as Count Draynor, lives in a coffin in the basement of Draynor Manor. He is responsible for many deaths of avid adventurers who have fallen prey to his sharp fangs. Count Draynor is the target in the Vampire Slayer quest which requires the player to kill him to save the people of Draynor Village who have been terrorised by Count Draynor for centuries. Although he is believed to be a Vampire, he is actually a vampyre, and the brother of Lord Drakan himself. He is the weakest vampyre in RuneScape, owing to his leaving Morytania and dwelling west of the River Salve.
[edit] Other information
Count Draynor can't be killed with a typical, everyday weapon, but he can be damaged by one. A player needs to have a hammer to drive a stake through his heart, although players have to take almost all of his Hitpoints first. If a player does not have the hammer and stake, he will heal to full health when his Hitpoints are low. Garlic is known to weaken him too. Players cannot kill Count Draynor if they have already completed the Vampire Slayer quest. Some players say that a high Prayer level would help a lot.
Also, the normal HP recovery rate of Count Draynor is very high, such that it's possible to deal damage equivalent to twice its HP to make it zero. The rate decreases with time if you have Garlic and are doing the quest. It is still recommended to bring certain amount of food even if the player has more than 34 combat.
However, if the player has a high max hit, it is possible to kill him within a few hits. For this reason, due to low magic defence of Count Draynor, low class combat spells like Fire Strike can also severely damage him. Please notice the stake can still be stabbed and Draynor being killed even if the player is not adjacent to him.
Silverlight has no damage increasing effect on him, probably because he is a vampyre.
Count Draynor is also the brother of Lord Drakan, who resides in his castle in Morytania. Count Draynor, according to the vampyre Solomon Lamescus, was "cast out for his cowardice". After travelling across the River Salve, Count Draynor became incredibly weakened.
[edit] Trivia
The Count Draynor character is loosely based on the popular Count Dracula from a 1897 horror novel. Count Draynor's first name was revealed by Jagex, along with a short story revealing that Count Draynor used to have a nice well-kept manor, but then lost his wife in the war[1]. He then disappeared and his house fell into disrepair. This story conflicts with in-game information regarding Draynor, however, and may be more of a folk-lore version spread following his disappearance.
In the past, Count Draynor would jump out and attack people even after completion of the quest, and he gets invincible to any damage, by healing them quickly. Nowadays Count Draynor will not appear again after the quest, along with the examination sentence: "There's only a pillow in here..." upon search of his coffin.
The fact that he says he lost his wife in the war is a reference to the 1897 Bram Stoker horror novel Dracula. Dracula claims to have lost his wife in a war and fell to a vampire, but it is unknown if he is honest.
