Game role and abilities

The recurring vampire antagonist, introduced in the original game. Konami calls him an immortal vampire king; resurrections and individual defeats depend on the game and continuity.
His recurring game abilities include dark magic, transformations and command of monsters; attacks and defeat conditions vary by encounter. The 1999 sealing is established backstory, not evidence of a released standalone war campaign.

Continuity and adaptation

Netflix gives Dracula a distinct family tragedy and war story. Belmont's Curse credits Graham McTavish as his English voice. Do not infer gameplay immunity or an exact power level from “immortal.”

Age and its source

Konami calls him an immortal vampire king but gives no numerical age in the checked profile. Immortal is a lore description, not a birthday or proof of gameplay invulnerability. Mathias and Gabriel origins belong to different continuities.
