#vlad dracula and dracula being interchangeable is something you gotta respect in my house i guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a vampire hunter, Darrell used to carry a big bulky case containing all his hunting tools.

When he got turned into a vampire, he couldn't stand to look or touch his own hunting case (very big holy glare: splitting headache. the holy water starts to bubble and boil when his hand hovers over it). The tools of his trade were his own weakness now, so he got rid of them.

He is, however, able to weild an Ottoman kilij or sword. Late 15th century in particular. Why? The very first vampire died by the blade of a Turkish assassin, and the only way to truly kill a vampire is to strike its heart and cut off its head.

[Various kilij on display in Germany and Greece.]

I like to think Darrell tried to track down that very sword but it was ultimately lost.
