Fan Casting Baron Blood in George Nolfi's Captain America

A gentleman explorer from late Victorian and Edwardian England, Lord John Falsworth traveled throughout Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Indochinese peninsula. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I, John's father William passed away, and the title and the bulk of the estate passed to John's older brother Montgomery, according to the British laws of primogeniture. Inspired by Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula, Lord John decided to seek out the castle to see if the rumors of the events of the novel being fact were indeed true; John intended through various unspecified means to control the vampire to take the bulk of his family's wealth for himself. To his horror, he fell victim to Dracula's hypnotic powers, died from the vampire's bite, and rose as a vampire under Dracula's control several days later. Because of Lord John's British background, Dracula sent him back to England to wreak havoc on the nation where he'd suffered an embarrassing defeat. When World War I broke out, Lord John offered his services to German intelligence, who gave him an outfit which made him resemble a human-sized bat and code-named him Baron Blood. Baron Blood was soon opposed by the original Union Jack, secretly his brother Montgomery, who had discovered that Baron Blood was in fact a vampire. In the final days of World War I, Union Jack and Baron Blood discovered each other's identities, and Montgomery wounded his brother with a silver stake, though he missed the heart.
