DEPARTMENT OF ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA

ENTITY REGISTRY — CARFAX INCIDENT (2025)
Classification: LEVEL 4–5 — CLASSIFIED

ENTITY DESIGNATION: ARC-DRACULA

Aliases: Vlad III, “Tom,” Prince Dracula
Status: Terminated (per field accounts, 2025) — unverified

Observed Behaviors

  • Immortality; cessation of aging.

  • Enhanced strength, durability, predatory anatomy (rows of fangs, extendable nails).

  • Levitation, silent movement.

  • Hive-mind linkage with turned subjects (“the Collective”).

  • Memory absorption via blood consumption; demonstrated ability to weaponize victims’ own memories in psychological assaults.

  • Thrives on fear: public unrest accelerates his influence.

Threat Level: EXTREME (Omega-Black)
Single entity capable of destabilizing entire urban centers. Containment impossible once embedded in civilian populations.

Containment Notes

  • Velkanova city remains a no-entry perimeter. Any insertion yields zero returns.

  • Carfax Hollow incident demonstrates systemic failure: martial law ineffective, community fractured.

  • Recommendation: Observation only. No direct engagement without Directorate authorization.

ENTITY DESIGNATION: ARC-BRIDES (GERTRUDE / JESSICA / CLAIRE)

Status: Reported destroyed, 2025. Residual risk: HIGH.

Profiles

  • Gertrude (“Bride One”) — Early 20th century origin. Anchored by grief, compulsively reenacts lost romance. Most loyal to Dracula; functions as emotional snare.

  • Jessica (“Bride Two”) — 1980s origin. Thrill-seeking, sadistic. Weaponized charisma; unpredictable violence.

  • Claire Van Helsing (“Bride Three”) — 1990s origin. Voluntary conscript. Religious devotion reframed as submission. Serves as zealot and recruiter.

Observed Behaviors

  • Shared vampire traits (immortality, predatory physiology).

  • Distinct psychological hooks: grief, thrill, faith.

  • Operated as Dracula’s forward apparatus—testing captives, shaping morale, enforcing ritual.

Threat Level: HIGH (Crimson) — singularly less capable than ARC-DRACULA, but collectively destabilizing.

Containment Notes

  • All three presumed neutralized.

  • Memory absorption leaves lingering trauma in survivors (Jonathan Harker).

  • Monitoring of global missing-person cases recommended to rule out Bride resurgence.

ENTITY DESIGNATION: ARC-RENFIELD (M.R.)

Status: Deceased (Carfax Hollow, 2025).

Observed Behaviors

  • Progressive enthrallment; exhibited auditory hallucinations (“He sees you”).

  • Transition from victim → acolyte → enforcer.

  • Willing self-sacrifice to Dracula, but also demonstrated moments of rebellion.

Threat Level: MODERATE (Amber) — limited physical threat, high memetic risk.

Containment Notes

  • Case study in indoctrination. Highlights need for psych-screening of exposed individuals.

  • Recommend categorization under “Thrall Phenomena.”

ENTITY DESIGNATION: ARC-LUCY WESTENRA

Status: Neutralized (2025, terminated by Arthur Holmwood).

Observed Behaviors

  • Gradual transition post-feeding: pallor, anemia, somnambulism.

  • Psychic tether to Dracula; resistance deteriorated over weeks.

  • Fully turned prior to termination; demonstrated predatory vocal mimicry.

Threat Level: HIGH (Crimson) — transitional subjects act as vectors for fear and confusion.

Containment Notes

  • Transition period offers window for intervention (ritual, transfusion, targeted destruction).

  • Community panic worsened by concealment of symptoms.

    SUBJECT OF NOTE: MINA HARKER (née Murray)

    Status: Survived incident. Under Directorate surveillance, 2025–present.

    Observed Interactions

    • Fed upon repeatedly by ARC-DRACULA; psychic tether established.

    • Exhibited partial assimilation symptoms: trance states, disassociation, vocal mimicry of Dracula’s cadence.

    • Displayed resilience beyond baseline, retaining identity even under repeated psychic assault.

    • Notable: termination of tether coincided with ARC-DRACULA’s reported death. Lingering traces remain unverified.

    Threat Level: CONDITIONAL (Yellow/Red)

    • Subject is functionally human but may act as dormant carrier of Collective signal.

    • Pregnancy carried to term post-incident; infant flagged for longitudinal monitoring.

    • Any emergent anomalies to trigger automatic elevation to Level 5 oversight.

    Containment Notes

    • Current protocol: passive observation, non-interference.

    • No evidence of active vampiric physiology; risk lies in psychic residue.

    SUBJECT OF NOTE: JONATHAN HARKER

    Status: Survived incident. Under Directorate surveillance, 2025–present.

    Observed Interactions

    • Enslavement period in Velkanova, fed upon by all three Brides.

    • Multiple documented feeds by ARC-DRACULA himself.

    • Did not transition into enthrallment (Renfield pattern) or vampirism (Lucy pattern).

    • Psychological profile: persistent intrusive memories, disordered sleep, heightened paranoia.

    • Anomalous factor: “partial feeding survivor” category. Biologically unconverted, but resistant to mental collapse observed in comparables.

    Analyst Notes

    • Sexual assault most likely occurred during captivity (inferred from fragmented testimony). Trauma profile complicated by memory bleed from vampiric feeds.

    • Jonathan reports persistent echoes of hive-mind communication (“hearing them outside the door”) but without full integration.

    • Possibility: ARC-DRACULA used him as a deliberate “mirror” for the Brides’ compulsions, sustaining him as a psychological experiment.

    Threat Level: CONDITIONAL (Amber/Red)

    • No physical anomalies present.

    • Mental instability may serve as inadvertent “relay” for hive-mind remnants.

    • Proximity to Mina (active tether subject) compounds surveillance priority.

    Containment Notes

    • Both Harkers classified as “Witness Class.”

    • Subject not to be engaged except under Directorate order.

    • Case file remains open for anomalous inheritance in offspring.
