Dracula’s Undead Brides (Elite Enforcers)

Vampiric Servitude and Psychological Torment

Description

A trio of named or individually referenced supernatural thralls bound directly to Dracula’s will, operating exclusively within his castle. Their role is symbolic and psychological, centered on enforcing loyalty (e.g., Elena’s defiance and execution) and breaking Jonathan Harker’s resistance. Distinct from the broader coven as they lack the reanimated corpses’ network and external infiltration functions.
