Eva

Eva ("The Daughter of Dracula" or "Daughter of The Dragon") is a fictional comic book character created and published by Dynamite Entertainment. She is a vampire hunter who is the daughter of Count Dracula. She first appeared in Dynamite's Army of Darkness comics during the Ash vs. The Classic Monsters storyline. Fictional biography Origin Vlad Tepes was a Transylvanian warlord in the 15th century who led a long a brutal campaign against the invading Turks of the Ottoman Empire, who sought to expand into Eastern Europe and root out Catholicism as the ruling faith in favor of their own Islam, killing all who opposed. His favored method of tormenting his foes was to impale them alive on long wooden pikes and set them up on display as a warning to his detractors. This earned him such infamous monikers as "Vlad the Impaler" and "Dracula" - an old Romanian namesake which means "Son of the Devil." Despite his numerous victories, his gentle wife could not endure his increasing ruthlessness and thus chose to end her own life even while still heavily pregnant - depriving Vlad of the one thing he desired more than victory: an heir to carry on his name should he fall in battle. Upon discovering her body, a despondent Vlad begged God to raise his wife and child from death. Hearing his pleas, a demon manifested before him masquerading as an angel. This creature formed a covenant with Vlad - remaking him into an "angel" as well to serve the will of "God." Upon completing his conversion, Dracula realized that his wife and child had not risen from death as he was promised. Enraged and now mad with bloodlust, Vlad cursed God for his misfortunes. In one final act of dignity, he had their bodies buried in holy soil far from his castle. Unbeknownst to Dracula, however, the demon had only partially fulfilled its part of the covenant; raising the unborn child from death and sending a she-wolf to dig her from the grave and nurse her as one of its own before being discovered by Father Miran of the Rosebud Monastery.
