The Landlord is a supporting character in Scars of Dracula.

Biography
After the Landlord and the other villagers discover that one of their female villagers have been killed by Count Dracula, he has his wife Maria and the other women head to the church to stay safe while he and the other villagers head to Dracula's castle to destroy him.

When he and the other villagers arrive to the castle, they break down the doors, overpower Klove and set fire to the building. Klove then taunts he and the other villagers that the flames will never reach Dracula, who is sure enough asleep in his solid stone chamber, where he is perfectly safe.

He and the other villagers still believe that they have finally destroyed Dracula and head to the church, where they discover that his wife Maria and the other women have been killed by vampire bats sent by Dracula in revenge and that Dracula has won.

Some time later, the Landlord hires a young woman named Julie (who came from a village that is 10 miles away) to be his landlady, but doesn't tell her the truth about how exactly his wife Maria and the other women died, nor anything about Dracula and his forces.

During the night, when Paul Carlson (who is falsely accused of raping the Burgomaster's daughter Alice and on the run from the authorities) is let into his tavern by Julie, the Landlord forces him to leave, as he is worried that a stranger's presence will make Dracula think they are planning against him, and Paul then heads to Dracula's castle.

On the next day, when Simon and his fiancée Sarah (who are searching for Paul) arrive in his tavern, Simon asks the Landlord on whether he has seen his brother Paul, but he lies that he hasn't seen him to keep Simon and Sarah from knowing the existence of Dracula and his forces, while Julie tells the truth and that Paul went to the castle, before giving Simon and Sarah directions to where the castle is.

Later, after Simon and Sarah escape from Dracula's castle and when they come back to his tavern, Simon begs the Landlord and the other villagers to help him rescue his brother Paul from the castle, but he and the other villagers (except the Priest) refused to oblige due to their fears of crossing Dracula again. Julie is then disgusted at he and the other villagers' cowardice, and leaves to head back to the village she came from. The Landlord begs Julie not to go on alone in the dark, and he warns her about Dracula and as well (finally) tells her the truth about how exactly his wife Maria and the other women died, in which Dracula has power over animals such as bats. And Julie doesn't believe him and against his pleas goes on alone.
