Nimrod was the name of a vampire in a Tomb of Dracula story that ran in the black and white Marvel Comics Dracula Lives! series. Nimrod was the Lord of the Vampires who was defeated and slain by Dracula, making Dracula the new Lord of the Vampires. A later story in Bizarre Adventures revealed that Nimrod had not been the true Lord of the Vampires; Nimrod's master, Varnae (named for Varney the Vampire), had sent him to die in battle with Dracula as a test of Dracula's strength.
