Castlevania series. Gabriel Belmont. Dracula.

Dracula, as the image of a vampire, is familiar to every player in this world who has touched at least a little bit of world literature. That's why the developers made him the hero of the Castlevania game series. The project tells the story of the confrontation between the bloodsucker hunters and the main monster of darkness, Dracula. Each series ends with the final battle with the Count. As the game progresses, we learn that Dracula was not always a vampire. He used to be an ordinary man, his name was Mathias Cronquist. He suffered a misfortune in the lives of ordinary people. Matthias had lost his beloved wife. He sincerely considered his wife to be the best and kindest of people and was astonished that she had suffered such a fate. Enraged at such injustice, he became angry and wished with all his soul to become immortal. In this way, he takes revenge on all temporarily living beings, that is, all people in the world. Matthias finds a remedy through magical attributes, and becomes a vampire. At first he hides from everyone in distant lands, sending curses to God himself and to all living things on this earth. His heart becomes black with accumulated hatred. And now the decisive step is taken, there is no turning back, only forward into darkness and gloom. Matthias takes up residence in a castle that matches the name of the game, Castlevania. Here he finally transforms into the ruler of darkness Dracula. The game becomes more interesting and fascinating thanks to the fact that we get to know the prehistory of the protagonist. Well, in Lords of Shadow, we will be able to see our beautiful Dracula as the protagonist of the gameplay.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Babette

There are a large number of attractive and interesting characters in the game Skyrim, but Babette simply attracts all eyes and attention. The kind of child, in quotes, with a cute and innocent look, is busy deceiving and misleading her victims, and then happily ruining them. Babette is always ten years old. It was at this tender age that she was attacked and bitten by a vampire. Therefore, having become a demon at the age of three hundred, she still wears the deceptive and innocent image of a child. The girl's adventures are presented to us in a way that is both creepy and funny at the same time. Such a mixture awakens a sense of creepiness and somehow in a special way excites, to the point of goosebumps. And yet we feel some sympathy for this little monster, we forgive her cruelty, and we hope that something new will awaken in her that will change her difficult fate. In my opinion, this is one of the best vampire heroes.
