'''Vladislaus Straud''', also known as '''Count Vladislaus Straud IV''' or '''Vlad''', is a pre-made [[vampire]] who resides in [[Forgotten Hollow]], the [[world]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Vampires]]''. He lives on his own in the [[List of Forgotten Hollow lots#Straud Mansion|Straud Mansion]] lot and begins with §20,000.
▲{{DEFAULTSORT:Straud, Vladislaus}}
Vladislaus is a [[young adult]], even though he has the appearance of an [[elder]]. This is most likely due to vampires not aging past the young adult life stage. He is unemployed and has eight [[skill]] points in [[charisma]] and ten points in both [[Instrument skill|pipe organ]] and [[vampire lore]].
Vladislaus turned [[Miss Hell]] into a [[vampire]] who then turned [[Caleb Vatore]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oe6z6ShQwE</ref> Vlad also turned Caleb's sister, [[Lilith Vatore]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qx2qMYhgp8</ref>▼
According to his painting that is found inside Straud Mansion, Vlad was the sole survivor of a settling party of 25 Sims that disappeared. He was impacted so deeply that he never explained what happened to them, but founded the town on their last known location in their memory.▼
▲Vlad has lived in [[Forgotten Hollow]] for 200 years. There is a statue of Vlad in the town center. The Sims in town think the statue is of his Great Grandfather, Vladislaus Straud the First, but the local [[vampire]]s know the truth; Vlad founded [[Forgotten Hollow]] and he still runs it.
By sunset,
▲According to his painting, Vlad was the sole survivor of a settling party of 25 Sims that disappeared. He was impacted so deeply he never explained what happened to them, but founded the town on their last known location in their memory.
Vlad dislikes his neighbors, the [[Vatore family|Vatore]] siblings, [[Caleb Vatore|Caleb]] and [[Lilith Vatore|Lilith]], as they believe in alternatives options to the traditional drinking of Sims's [[plasma]]. They will also object to Vlad's wardrobe choices, personal hygiene, and showing his dark form in public. Vlad owns a hundred grey coats as he believes they go with everything and always stay in style. At high moon, Vlad and Caleb once had a duel which Vlad won; because of this, many Sims strongly dislike him.▼
▲By sunset, Vlad starts his daily routine which includes playing some haunting melodies on the [[pipe organ]] and taking a walk through the [[cemetery]] of his estate. When the sun starts coming up, Vlad spends some time in dark meditation to re-energize himself and reading through the Encyclopedia Vampirica, most of which is about him, before he descends into his crypt.
An official blog for ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'' reveals that Vlad has a cousin named [[Arthur Climate]]. The [[Climate family|Climates]] reluctantly invite Vlad over for a [[holiday|Harvestfest]] gathering, unaware that he is a vampire.<ref name="Climates blog part 1">[https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/news/the-climates-part-1 Meet The Climates (Part 1)]</ref>▼

▲As a [[vampire]] Vladislaus has a human appearance as well as a dark form. Apart from the size of the ears and eyes, his facial features are the same in both versions. However, Vlad looks drastically different in his vampiric form due to not having any hair including facial hair. His skin possesses visible facial lines as a vampire. Additionally, he has protruding fangs and radiating eyes.
