However, before Vlad was beheaded, Vlad felt betrayed by God and sold his soul to the devil, therefore, licking the blood that was in front of him just before he was beheaded - and later, he was woken as a vampire and devoured, drank the blood of the Ottoman's that was involved during his execution. He also sucked his soldiers blood, therefore, the Soldiers that died with Vlad, appears during the events of 1999, the Battle of London - a war between the Iscariot Organization, Hellsing Organization, and finally, the Millennium Organization.

However, Abraham Van Helsing, when he defeated Vlad, who was known as "Dracula", stated that he had killed all his Familiars - which possibly means that he and group killed the Wallachia soldiers, and somehow Abraham found a way to bring all of them back inside Dracula, possibly with the many experiments he tested on him.
