Dolingen quickly questions Dracula on the reason he brought her there and demands to return to Ireland. He took her to his Castle in Transylvania and there he reanimated her by taking the knife out of her heart and feeding her with blood, stating that Deaglan's method of killing vampires was not the correct one and so she remained undead. Three years later, Count Dracula travelled to Ireland and dag Dolingen out of her grave. Seeing the monster that his beloved had become, Deaglan drove a knife through her heart and proceeded to crush her head with a mace, crying all night long with grief. She made her way to her beloved's house where she found him and they embraced. Overcome with a feeling of immense guilt, Dolingen decided to return to her only source of happines: Deaglan O'Cuiv. But before he died, his father writed a message with his own blood that he always hated her because she murdered her mother when she was born. She besieged her father for days and murdered anyone who brought him food (eventually murdering the whole village) until she was able to enter his father's house due to the latter dying of hunger. However, he wanted nothing to do with her and utterly refused to let her inside his house, even going as far as disowning her as his daughter. At first, her father thought that she was a product of his imagination but soon he realized that it was in fact his daughter literally back from the dead. The next night, she traveled to her father's village. Once inside, Dolingen entered a frenzy and began to slaughter everyone on sight until she reached her husband's chambers, whom she tortured to death by slowly draining him of blood all night long. The Tyrant's blood reached Dolingen's corpse and after rejecting God for the indignities she suffered in life, she rose from her grave as one of the undead.Įnraged and vengeful, the vampire made her way to Castle Artane where she hypnotized a guard to let her in. Not long after, the bitter Tyrant also visited her tomb and, out of spite, grabed the rose and tore it appart, causing his hand to bleed. Feeling an immense guilt from not being able to save his beloved from the Tyrant, Deaglan came to her tomb and left a rose out of respect. Unable to live with the pain of being caged and away from Deaglan, Dolingen eventually jumped from the Castle's tower and fell to her death. The Tyrant however, soon began to torture his new wife in the most depraved of ways while holding her captive in one of the towers of Castle Artane. Tempted by the man's wealth, Dolingen's father eagerly accepted and soon after, Dolingen would adopt her new husband's surname: "von Gratz". Having heard of the tales of Dolingen's infinite beauty, a cruel Tyrant proposed her marrige. Her father however, was not pleased with the idea of his daughter Dolingen being with another peasant so he forbid them from being together. While many men desired her, only one equally pure as her could win her heart: a peasant boy by the name of Deaglan O'Cuiv. Long ago, Dolingen was a young and kind peasant's daughter whose beauty was legendary all across South Ireland. She serves a crucial role in Bram Stoker's health and his exposure to the supernatural.
