"Vladimir's name is inspired from Vlad the Impaler, the 15th century wallachian Prince that later inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. "

All games (or movies, comics, books etc.) that have character called Dracula are drawing inspiration from the original Dracula story mentioned above, as well as 98% of all vampiric characters. So if Vlad resembles a character named Dracula from another franchise it is not that one of the game characters inspired the creation of the other, but because of that common inspiration.
