History[]
Frank Drake and Rachel van Helsing returned to their headquarters at Quincy Harker's mansion one evening to find him unconscious on the floor. He was rushed to the hospital, but Frank quickly drew impatient with not knowing what was wrong or what had happened. This led into a waiting area argument with Rachel, whom he believed was acting impassionate about the situation. [1]
On one occasion, the vampire lord Dracula was severely injured after being burned by a crucifix and was admitted to Boston General. Once the crucifix was removed however, his injuries quickly healed and he revived, attacking several doctors, two orderlies and two nurses. Dracula's roommate, Gideon Smith was so terrified by the vampire's attack that he slipped into a state of catatonia. [2]
