Vlad will be invited by a representative of Vantesq not long after he speaks with Mina, whom he believes to be the reincarnation of his long deceased wife. They'll approach him and explain the rules: All guests are offered an incentive in exchange for performing sexual acts. They will be live or previously recorded, and those videos will be displayed to all of Vantesq as a means to encourage them to procreate. If Vlad creates more videos, he'll have a larger number of subscriptions which will lead to higher ratings and donations. If he gets to the donation ceiling, he can renew his contract or take his incentive and go home. He'll bring no belongings with him, material items are meaningless, and immediately leave with the representative after expressing his incentive.
His incentive, by all rights, is not a complicated one. In exchange for his service, Vlad would request that the Janissary Corps be stopped from ever forming. The Ottoman Empire would ravage nations through war, kidnapping thousands of young boys to force into slavery. These children, Vlad was among them, were beaten, abused, and trained to become ruthless warriors. The majority were never allowed to return home. If stopped, the Janissary Corps would never have taken himself and many others. Vlad is a loyal and devoted family man, both to his wife and son, and all of his people. He believes, to a self-sacrificing point, that it's his duty and responsibility to protect his family no matter what that might mean for himself. He would ask for this incentive so that they could be safe and to spare them from the harshness of such a life. He will devote himself to his channel, Red Band, and Vantesq to insure that his goals be reached.

Name: Vlad III Tepes, Lord Impaler and Prince of Transylvania Age: Born in 1431; 583 Appearance:
one | two; Physically in his mid-thirties, Vlad has light brown eyes and wavy, dark brown hair. He's roughly six feet with a slim build and tan skin. He has a little bit of facial hair and has scars from battle.
Personality:
✣ Religion means everything to Vlad. He's a devout Christian whose faith is tested when the Master turns him into a vampire. He begs for forgiveness for allowing the darkness into his body and soul, turning him into a monster, but he chose that path, to stray from God, so that he could be strong enough to stop the Turks. ✣ While amplified after his 'death', Vlad's behavior in battle is a stark contrast to his demeanor in general. Typically he is very mild-mannered, polite, respectful, and thoughtful, but when he is fighting, he is ferocious, intense, demanding, and almost animalistic. This shows how seriously he takes doing his duty as King and family-man, as he is able and quite willing to do what some might consider bad if it is ultimately the right thing. ✣ Vlad is a loyal and devoted family man, both to his wife and son, and all of his people. He believes, to a self-sacrificing point, that it's his duty and responsibility to protect his family no matter what that might mean for himself. ✣ He loves his people. He loves his wife, Mirena. He, above anyone and everything, loves his son, Ingeras. Vlad would willingly suffer through unending painful deaths if it meant keeping his son safe from harm. He allows evil into his heart to protect him and then lets the sun destroy him to keep that same evil from taking his son. ✣ His rage, which he taps into in battle, is something born from a harsh, unforgiving childhood. When he was a boy, he'd been taken into slavery with thousands of other boys to be trained in the Janissary Corps to fight off invaders of the Ottoman Empire. He fought for them until he was allowed to leave and return home, and was so sickened by what he'd done in battle that he begged for forgiveness. Vlad devoted himself to God and his people, bringing Transylvania back into power. That anger is something he learns to master over the years, aided by the gentle hands of his wife and the grounding presence of his small son. ✣ Vlad is a romantic, down to his core, and he believes that every life is reborn into the next. When he loses his wife, he mourns her loss, but understands that he will find her again because love is eternal and mere death can't dash it out. ✣ He is the Son of the Devil. Vlad accepted, after agreeing to the Master's terms, that he was no longer only God's son. He was sin and temptation, darkness and power, but he was in control because he was the child of both light and darkness. He'd been born into God's hands and died cradled in the devil's arms. This view on what he is, immortal and vampire, help Vlad to stay optimistic and focused even as his body changes and people begin to fear what he's become. That strength of mind carries on after he leaves his son to be King in his stead.
