=== Count Dracula ===

==== Actor: Keith-Lee Castle. ====

 

The father of Vlad and Ingrid, Count Dracula adores being a Vampire and cannot understand Vlad's lack of enthusiasm. While the Count claims to be "the Prince of Darkness", he often shows compassion and frequently ignores Vampire convention, such as assosiating with humans. The Count desires to make Vlad into his true heir, and is frequently dissapointed with his son's desire to be normal. He ignores Ingrid because she's a girl.

=== Ingrid Dracula ===

==== Actress: Clare Thomas ====

 

Vlad's [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|attractive older sister]]. One of the most self-assured and cruel characters, Ingrid embraces her Vampiric side, desiring to be [[Vampire Monarch|Vampire queen]]. Despite this, the Count belittles her, prefering to spend time training Vlad. This causes Ingrid to become both angry and bitter towards her father and brother, resulting in {{spoiler|several murder attempts}}.

=== Magda Carmilla Elizabeta Bathoria Westenra ===

==== Actress: Donna Grant ====

 

Magda is the ex-wife of Count Dracula (though she claims the two never married), and the mother of Vlad and Ingrid. Before the series started she [[Vampire-Werewolf Love Triangle|ran off with a werewolf]] named Patrick, with whom, in Series 3, it is revealed she had a son, Wolfie. Magda returns back to her vampire family occasionally, solely to manipulate them into giving her something she wants.

=== Eric Van Helsing ===

==== Actor: Terence Maynard ====

 

Eric Van Helsing is an ineffectual, yet extreemly dedicated, slayer. Van Helsing's cover identity is as a woodwork teacher at Stokely Grammar, where he initially believes Robin to be a vampire, but soon decides to focus on Vlad. This results in many failed attempts to slay the Draculas. It is revealed that his obsession caused his marrage with Mina to break up before the series started. Van Helsing desperately wants his son, Jonno, to follow in his path as a slayer, despite Jonno's initial resistance to the idea. {{spoiler|Van Helsing is [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|mind-wiped at the end of Series 2]], and in Series 3, it's revealed that he was [[Bus Crash|killed by vampires]]}}.
