O pai de Vlad III, Vlad II, era membro de uma sociedade cristã romana (de Roma) chamada Ordem do Dragão, criada por nobres da região para defender o território da invasão dos turcos otomanos. Por isso Vlad II era chamado de Dracul (dragão), e, por consequência, seu filho passou a ser chamado Draculea (filho do dragão) — a terminação "ea" significa filho. A palavra “dracul”, entretanto, possuía um segundo significado (“diabo”) que foi aplicado aos membros da família Draculea por seus inimigos e possivelmente também por camponeses supersticiosos.
Vlad III era conhecido por sua pervesidade e crueldade. Certa vez, dois súditos se esqueceram de tirar o chapéu para reverenciar sua chegada e, por causa disso, Vlad mandou pregar os chapéus em suas cabeças.
Também dizem as lendas que um dia Vlad viu um aldeão com a camisa toda suja e lhe perguntou se sua esposa era saudável. O aldeão respondeu que sim e sua mulher teve ambas as mãos decepadas; e Vlad arrumou outra esposa para o aldeão e lhe mostrou o que acontecera com a antiga, para que servisse de exemplo. Vlad tinha prazer em comer em frente a suas vítimas com os corpos empalados, ouvindo seus gritos de agonia.
Muitos desses feitos levam a querer que Vlad III é a principal inspiração para o personagem. A crença que o conde Drácula é morto vivo veio de um fato que em uma de suas muitas batalhas ele levou um forte golpe na cabeça, que o deixou em coma. Depois de ver o seu líder cair seus homens bateram em retirada levando consigo seu corpo e antes da fuga ser realizada, Vlad III acordou do coma como se nada tivesse acontecido e logo depois de recobrar os sentidos retornou à batalha levando seu exército à vitória e a uma de suas mais sangrentas batalhas, criando assim a crença que ele havia retornado dos mortos como um morto vivo. this work was evaluated by Jacques Akoun- Art-Expert-

Guilherme d'Almeida (Fraguial), has always dedicated himself to the Arts, with all the ideal bases for doing so, he trained as a profession, attended several Arts Schools, Atelier's, with great renowned Masters and Art Teachers. He dedicated himself a lot to practical disciplines, however, without leaving aside the knowledge, which was necessary.
When he read the books he was supposed to read, he closed them, and entered the path created by him, always avoiding following the rules, and stopped believing in styles. Today he puts his creation in his works, very much based on geometry which he called "Miscellany/Fraguial". In his mental laboratory, he put together pieces of everything, from Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, Braque, and even finishes (contours) from Miró, (but practicing "perfectionism") but Fraguial, is a great defender of intersectionism and wants to fight for its protectionism. He is a defender of good Art, he fights to present his pictorial message on the canvas, and not in the description of the work, with flowery words. He does not deny being an anti-global art painter. The Painter states:
For me....
Art has no limits, handcuffs or gags.
Hence I escape the logic of traumatizing reasoning.
A rational mind becomes closed to its development.
I struggle to enter the garden of poetry where there are no forbidden fruits.
Intuition guides me to walk the path of darkness of the unknowable.
It is in the acceptance of change that evolves.
A painter's humility lies in the silence of his works and not in the hoarseness of his screams!
