Baron van Swieten (played by Jonathan Moore) has a Dracula connection. He was the son of Gerhard van Swieten, appointed by Empress Maria Theresia to squelch a vampire hysteria sweeping Austrian society and especially the armed forces. As the Imperial "vampire hunter," the elder van Swieten was Bram Stoker's inspiration for the character of Abraham Van Helsing in "Dracula".
