Arthur Holmwood appeared to be wearing a dark green high-neck trench coat with matching green trousers and brown boots. In addition, he wore a wide-brimmed, dark brown fedora with multiple white stripes covering across the fedora's band and a pair of dark brown gloves. He had blue eyes and was incredibly tall (in comparison to Mina) with short, dark hair.

Personality[]

Arthur was devoted to Mina Harker, his fiancée and later wife.[3] The son of Lord Godalming, it is through his wealth and fortune that the team were able to be funded in their operation of vanquishing Dracula. When his fiancée was terrorized by Count Dracula, Holmwood was prone to melancholia.

History[]

He was best friends with Lucy Westenra's suitors, Quincey Morris and Jack Seward, while also engaged with Lucy's best friend, Mina Harker. Mina, Arthur's fiancée, was turned into a vampire and was forced to drink Dracula's blood in a ritual as he desired her. The group, which consisted of Holmwood, Quincey, Jack, and Abraham Van Helsing, learned of Dracula's whereabouts through the hypnosis performed by Van Helsing on Mina, whose connection to Dracula was established after she became a vampire through him, and tracked Dracula down to Transylvania, where a fierce battle ensued that cost Quincey his life. Arthur and Mina later married.

Trivia[]
