  A Makai noble, Demitri
  Maximoff lives in a castle deep within the mountains of Romania that only
  appears during a full moon. The
  castle is named after the owner of the land, Zeltzereich. Roughly
  100 years ago, he had challenged Berial Aensland. He lost the battle and was
  exiled from Makai to the human world with his castle. Sunlight was something
  that was troublesome for people of Makai, especially for Demitri, who was
  wounded severely from his battle with Berial. If he were to be directly
  exposed, his body would be destroyed from the inside and he would disappear. 
   
  To avoid the sunlight
  and humans, he used what he had left of his powers and created a field to
  cover his castle. He used this field to recover his strength and heal his
  wounds. For 50 years, he stayed within his casket. As he slowly regained his
  strength, he would step out only once a full moon put a shield around his
  body. By this time, there were already people that would wander into the
  castle. They would somehow hear rumors of treasure's within the castle. They
  would bring crosses, stakes, garlic, holy water and silver bullets thinking
  they were safe and recklessly attack Demitri. Demitri couldn't help but smile
  as such weapons had no effect on him. To Demitri, humans were a low class
  vulgar race, but he enjoyed their blood. He enjoyed the blood of innocent
  girls the most. To him, it was like drinking the best wine in Makai. Those who
  had their blood sucked by Demitri had their body and soul poisoned with
  evil.They would become loyal servants to Demitri. Currently, 40 people settle
  in Demitri's castle and care for him. 
   
  
  When Demitri recovered 80% of his original power, he was able to temporarily
  create an aura around him that would protect him from sunlight. Demitri had
  conquered both night and day and had no weaknesses. There were no means for
  humans to defeat him. After 100 years of humiliation for his loss, he had
  gained a lot. He acquired various new abilities and knowledge. The Prince of
  Darkness steadily readied himself to take over Makai once again. 
  The presence of an
  alien life form on Earth was an unexpected event for Demitri. Demitri seized
  this opportunity to further gain strength and fought against Pyron
  and consumed the alien life form. He was confident that he was strong enough
  to challenge and defeat the ruler of Makai, Berial. 
When he returned to
  Makai, he found out that Berial had died and his daughter, Morrigan,
  had become heir to the Aensland family and the ruler of Makai. As Demitri
  prepared himself to challenge Morrigan, he and his castle were sucked into the
  Majigen by Jedah.
  Believing that defeating Jedah was an important step, he went off to face
  Jedah.

 Demitri is
certainly a better
design then that dork that played Dracula in the live action Van Helsing
(2004). Take a look at a  real vampire.... As one of the main
protagonists of Darkstalkers, Demitri's badass factor is off the
charts... and he knows it. Demitri's appearance in the Night Warriors 
anime did a lot for his design. While Demitri is an awesome visual design, I
think his actual fighting game moveset could've been more original and fleshed out. He's
pretty much "The Ryu" of the
series, so the simple aspects of his design/moveset does make sense at least.
Unfortunately, Demitri didn't appear in very many games, so he didn't really get
a chance to evolve much. However, Demitri's epic super move, Midnight
Bliss...  kinda makes up for his shortcomings with his moveset.  
 
On a side note, Demitri's outfit might've inspired Kazuya's
suit in Tekken 5... which is awesomely ironic (since they're both
vampires), and was possibly intentional by
Namco. To state the obvious, Demitri and Kazuya share pretty much the same
hairstyle, and both have alternate "demon" forms with wings that show
up from time to time. Future crossover dream team: Demitri & Kazuya. >:}
