From the text:
After developing his list of characters, Stoker began assembling the traits of his anti-hero, Dracula. Although he drew upon traditional vampire legends and literature, Stoker also invented new vampire characteristics such as “influence over rats; painters cannot reproduce him . . . insensible to music . . . power of creating evil thoughts & destroying will . . . can see in the dark . . .” [Stoker’s] notes include some of the vampire's qualities mentioned above as well as additional characteristics. Stoker writes: “no looking glasses in Count's house; never can see hin reflected in one—no shadow? . . . never eats nor drinks . . . enormous strength . . . money always old gold . . . ” As he did frequently throughout his notes, Stoker put a mark through each trait as he used it in the novel.
