Fictional character biography

Lucas Brand had a long criminal record, and his motorcycle gang once beat up and tried to drown the vampire Dracula when he was in a weakened state due to blood loss.

Brand was hired by Jason Faust to torture and kill people Faust hated, using voodoo. Dracula later killed Brand and made him into a vampire. Faust defeated Brand using his voodoo, but the evil Doctor Sun was able to revive Brand. Doctor Sun used Brand, whose willpower as a vampire was strong enough to resist Dracula’s ability to control vampires mentally, as a pawn to defeat Dracula. Brand defeated Dracula, but when Brand turned on Doctor Sun, Sun destroyed Brand.
