Lionel Van Helsing was Dracula's best friend back in the day. He wanted to kill Dracula because Dracula married the girl of his dreams, Tanya, who he instantly fell in love with when he bumped into her on the street, and she thought he was going to rob her, so she knocked him out. When he came to, he found Dracula had made his move on her. He appeared in "Dracula Must Die!".
