- Complete Monster: Vlad Manfred Castaneta, all but directly stated to be Dracula himself, was a powerful vampire master and Duke's former tormentor. Appearing to Duke as a dashing playboy, Vlad took Duke into his harem where he stripped her of her free will, along with several other women; this process had them completely aware of what they were doing but unable to do anything about it, as they were sexually exploited for decades. Duke eventually overpowered and seemingly destroyed Vlad when his hold became weak, and was warped by her experience into a ruthless vampire mistress herself. Kept alive through his still-beating heart, Vlad still has enough power to brainwash vampire hunters into going after Duke's group, having some killed when they outlive their usefulness. Restored by his only loyal bride, Vlad immediately drained her of blood and tossed her aside, before ripping out Duke's heart, accusing her of being ungrateful for all the things he's done for her.
- Critical Dissonance: Received positive reviews from critics, but audiences were more mixed on it.
- Evil Is Cool: Duke is a very fit, take-no-shit woman clad head to toe in a punkish, black-and-white leather getup who acts like the Distaff Counterpart to Tyler Durden. No wonder that Laurel is easily seduced by her liberatory ideas and falls into her gang.
