Prince Manuwalde, and African leader in 1780 who was tring to find a way to stop the slave trade which haunted Africa's west coast.

Mauwalde and his wife were attacked by Dracula and his vampire cohorts. Mamuwadle was vampirized and sealed in a tomb. Luva (his wife) was left to die of starvation.

In 1965 some Americans purchased the furnishings of Castle Dracula and shipped them to Los Angeles, unaware that the ornate coffin they had obtained housed Blacula's body.

Blacula was awakened and discovered a new love, Tina, the exact image of his Luva. She fell victim to a shooting incident, and he truned her into a vampire to save her. But then she was staked to death, and in his grief Blacula committed suicide by walking into the sunlight.

Blacula was revived by the magic of voodoo a year later in a sequel. In collusion with the voodoo priestess Lisa, he searched for a way to rid himself of his vampirism, but was thwarted by the police. He was finnaly killed by a pin stuck through the heart of a voodoo doll.
