I can't believe some people really think that a vampire count is a non-fictional character. He is based on Vlad the Impaler so that might be wear he/she is comming from, but Dracula himself is definitley fictional. The non-fictional historical figure that the story is based on is the premise of Bram Stoker's fictional vampire. The stories are intertwined. You remove the former from the later and you're left with a completely different character altogether. The only way this can work is if the real Vlad Dracula was transported to the (insert world here) and became the vampire from the story. Writers base aspects of their fictional characters on real people all the time, it doesn't change the fact that the fictional character is still a fictional character.
