Questions

How many character profiles are here?

Seventeen individual profiles, plus this directory page. Lenore is show-original; a shared game/show name does not establish one combined biography.

Are all ages unknown?

No. Japanese manuals give version-specific ages for Alucard, Richter, Maria and Annette. Other pages label secondary-reference ages or state that the checked source supplies no exact age.

Is Dracula a game protagonist in this directory?

He is listed as the recurring antagonist, not as a classic-game hunter. A playable Dracula in another continuity does not change every game role.
