The Order, similar to the Order of the Teutonic Knights, was a semi-military and religious organization established in in Rome in order to promote Catholic interests and crusades. For Dracula deeds, the Order Dracula the Dragon was Dracula upon him, hence the title Dracul the Latin word for dragon is draco.
