Dracula next appears in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten" when the new rules of magic have led to the creation of new vampires whose powers greatly resemble Dracula. He is recruited by Buffy and the others to assist, but ends up exploiting the reality-altering "Vampyr" book to transform himself into "the most powerful" vampire of them all. However, Dracula's attempts backfire, and he is transformed instead into Maloker, the Old One who was the progenitor of the vampires. Buffy and her crew are able to fend off Maloker and return Dracula to normal. Later, in the final issue of the series, Dracula is recruited to Buffy's Magic Council – in essence, a governing body of the magical universe – to represent the vampire faction.
