- "Say what you want, I still think Dracula One and Dracula Two are creep-tacular."
- ―Jacob Black on Vladimir and Stefan[src]
Vladimir is a vampire of the Romanian Coven. Vladimir has hair that looks so ashy blond that it almost looks pale gray. He wore simple black clothes that could pass for modern but hinted at older design. Vladimir's skin has the same powdery look as the Volturi's, though it is not as pronounced. His eyes, as well as Stefan's, are dark burgundy since the two vampires feed on human blood. They have a tendency of finishing each other's sentences. They arrive up at the Cullen house hoping to challenge the Volturi, but Carlisle requests that they remain only as witnesses.
History
Early life
Like Stefan, Vladimir was one of the original twelve ruling members of the Romanian coven. Vladimir was the head of a coven of four large-by-normal-vampire-standards, when he joined forces with the other Romanian vampires. His big, successful coven was one of the inspirations for the notion of coexistence to pursue power. Vladimir's mate was killed during one of the battles of the war between the Volturi and the Romanian coven.
Breaking Dawn
- Main article: Breaking Dawn
Vladimir and Stefan (of the Romanian coven) showed up uninvited to the Cullen household in Breaking Dawn, hoping that the controversy caused by Renesmee will finally destroy the Volturi. Vladimir called Alec as his opponent if it came to a fight. But, after having witnessed the growth of Renesmee, their hopes are vanquished by Aro's insight into the truth through Carlisle. There is no battle with the Volturi, though they are surprised at seeing their bitter enemies on Carlisle's side. Vladimir and Stefan seemed disappointed that they didn't get to fight their rivals, but were happy to see the Volturi run away after the confrontation.
During their stay in the weeks prior to the arrival of the Volturi, Renesmee seemed to find their company fascinating. Bella, however, deemed them a bad influence after they colorfully described to the child how they would rip out the eyes of the Volturi from their sockets, and subsequently made an effort to limit Renesmee's exposure to them from then on. Jacob nicknamed Vladimir "Dracula One".
Etymology
Vladimir is Slavic for "Rule with Greatness" or "Rule the World" (volod = rule, power and the suffix mir = great, peace, but also "world").
Note: Vlad Tepes (more commonly known as Vlad the Impaler) is commonly believed to be the first vampire.
Appearances
Film portrayal
Vladimir will be portrayed by Noel Fisher in the second half of Breaking Dawn.
