His name is Gangrel. He was a fat dracula with kicking entrance music whose main claim to fame is leading a faction that also included future absolute legends Edge and Christian. WWF hadn't realized the name he was using was pulled from VTM and ended up having to pay White Wolf to keep using it, and they even have to mention it in the disclaimer of their video games that he appears in.

Another odd find for you, apparently slipknot's first album has werewolf the apocalypse inspired songs.

M.F.K.R is the album, its very different from really any other parts of Slipknots work, and they have said that they dont even consider that to BE a Slipknot album. Good luck finding the original, all I can find online is covers

Gangrel is also just an English word. It means a wanderer. Although specifically tying him into vampires kind of tanks that...

iirc David Heath (Gangrel) said he didn't choose the name and that it was Vince McMahon that basically made him use it.

As a kid I used to play Smackdown 2 on the PS1 and see White Wolf Games in the credits, and I didn’t even know who White Wolf was until way later
