Dracula (Buffyverse)

Dracula is one of the most powerful vampires in the Buffy universe and is based on the legendary Count from Bram Stoker's novel - however unlike many vampires in the series he is neither fully good nor evil and is seen as being much more of a charming rogue than a bestial monster (though he is still dangerous).

Dracula is disliked by some vampires (such as Spike) due to his fame and his tendency to display needless theatrical magic (which he is rumored to have learned from Gypsies) - using this magic Dracula is able to do a few feats other vampires can not: such as turn in a wolf, summon mist and most famously of all revive after being staked.

Dracula also seems to have the ability to alter reality itself as he managed to form a castle for himself when he arrived in Sunnydale and like the vampire of legend was also tended to by several female servants (based on the brides found in the book).
