Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad III the Impaler, was a Voievod of Wallachia, ruling between 1456 - 1462.

He was notorious for impaling political enemies and prisoners, an effective (and seemingly successful) method of execution.

In 1511, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze went on a quest to find his sword hidden in his prison in Constantinople, which was rumored to be a weapon that could defeat any foe.
