In September 1862, Dracula lord of the Vampires traveled to Savannah, Georgia. Dracula agreed to bolster the Confederacy with his Vampiric Legion of the Damned in exchange for Annabelle St. John's return to Transylvania. Though the Legion slaughtered all Union troops they came across, Anabelle's father recognized Dracula for what he was, and along with his son Cornelius staked him. Annabelle, determined to honor the bargain, removed the stake and returned home with him.[1]
