Vladimir = Juste Belmont?
I feel like not enough people have brought up the fact that Vlad's classic skin looks very much like Juste Belmont from Castlevania. Maybe it's stretching it a bit, but not even the wiki page says anything about the resemblance!!
Sure, he only shares the hair and some of the attire and they're both associated with vampires (although Juste isn't a vampire he's still associated with them), but that's quite a lot.
Your opinion?
