Biography
Samuel Paxton goes out with Hargood and Secker to a brothel where they meet prostitutes, until Lord Courtley arrives and hires them to join the ceremony to revive his master Count Dracula.

Paxton, Hargood, and Secker then meet up with Courtley at the abandoned church, who puts a dried blood into goblets and mixes it with drops of his own blood, telling them to drink it. They refuse, so Courtley drinks the blood himself, screams and falls on the floor. As Courtley grabbed Hargood's legs, Paxton, Hargood, and Secker beat him to death, then they flee from the abandoned church, leaving Courtley's dead body behind (whose body then becomes the revived Dracula's avatar, who vows revenge on Hargood, Secker, and Paxton for killing Courtley).

After Dracula got his revenge on Hargood by mind-controlling Alice in killing him, Paxton and Secker discover that Alice and his daughter Lucy (who was turned into a vampire by Dracula are missing, fearing that Courtley may be still alive seeking revenge on them, and they go back to the abandoned church to check for Courtley's body. They find Courtley's body missing, but they discover Lucy asleep in a coffin with marks on her neck. Secker realizes she is a vampire and tries to stake her, but Paxton shoots him in the arm, forcing him to flee.

Paxton then weeps over his undead daughter Lucy's body, but when he finally develops the courage to stake Lucy himself, she awakens, and Dracula appears. The mind-controlled Alice pins Paxton down and the vampire Lucy drives a wooden stake through his chest, killing him. His body is never seen after this.
