Lord Byron is an archetype for count dracula

Lord Byron recommended the party spend a rainy afternoon crafting ghost stories while spending the summer of 1816 at Lake Geneva with the Shelleys. Frankenstein was created by Mary Shelley, and William Polidori, Byron's physician, created "The Vampyre," the tale that served as the basis for later adaptations like Dracula and Twilight. Based on a literary concept by Byron himself, this vampire story, which attracted a lot of interest because it was first published under Byron's name, was widely read throughout Europe. The vampire in the narrative was a brand-new breed. Before Werner Herzog's Nosferatu, vampires in European folklore were depicted as filthy, spectral peasants and villagers with fingernails that resembled talons.

Polidori's vampire, in contrast, is wealthy, aristocratic, and bogged down by boredom - much like Byron himself. Lord Ruthven, the name of the vampire, can be traced back to Byron since Lady Caroline Lamb, one of his former lovers, invented a villain by the name of Lord Ruthven Glenarvon, who was inadvertently composed as retaliation against Byron. The eyes of Lord Ruthven are icy grey. He associates with the most elite members of high society, making it impossible to know what he is thinking. Although he is well regarded, he is a covert predator seeking to seduce the upright with his charms—traits that are typically Byronic.
