Cardinal Dracula, when in his humanoid form, was a tall, pale man in gilded red cardinal's robes. He was described as having "a sharp, aquiline nose and a high brow". He could also transform into mist, or, using the [[Reliquary of Baphomet]], a dragon. He seemed to possess hypnotic abilities, and could sense people's true identities. His mouth contained a pair of fangs with which he could drink blood and turn others into vampires. He was nearly invincible, but could be harmed by a wooden stake through the heart; even then, though, he could recover by assuming the form of a dragon. Crosses could also harm him. In addition, he was an extremely skilled swordsman, possibly aided by unlimited stamina.
