Characters? 

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the classics of horror being brought into the series and given actual characterization and plot importance. 

 Doctor Moreau and his various experiments with human animal hybrids could easily fit into Dracula's forces as a 'monster maker for him.  I can also picture a tortured Dr. Frankenstein locked in the dungeon somewhere being forced to pout together Frankenstein after Frankenstein for Drac. 

Griffin the original Invisible Man was also a nicely done over the top psychopath with delusions of grandeur in the original story if you've ever read it. 

Also, I'd like the Headless Horseman brought in.  If done properly a horseback battle against him could be suitably awesome.  (Especially if you give him the ability to chop off your characters head as a finishing move. 

For real people? 

How about bringing in the real Dracula's traitorous brother Radu the Handsome?  Give him his own source of evil; powers and it almost writes itself. 



^^ Very nice ideas! ^^

Doctor Caligari, Cabinet optional.

Lovecraftian entities other than Cthulhu, i.e. Hastur or Nyarlathotep.

Radu cel Frumos for once.

Uhhhhhh...Hellboy would be interesting.

Kinda makes me wonder how a Castlevania game would handle Matthias Corvinus (prolly will have to be called just Corvinus or King Corvinus since Matthias is already taken in CV lore).

Call me crazy but i always imagined Darth Maul in Castlevania non-canon wise,  where Maul was sent to Dracula's Castle as a mission given by his Master, Darth Sidious, Maul would face Dracula in the year 1837.
Standing here, I realize
You were just like me, trying to make history.
But who's to judge the right from wrong?
When our guard is down, I think we'll both agree
That violence breeds violence,
But in the end it has to be this way.

Jar-Jar Binks, I shit you not.
With a theory that Jar-Jar acts like a stumbling fool but is a Sith Lord (and the evidence that followed) it makes a bit of sense.

Why not have a Villain who plays a harmless role so well that he's the least expected person to be responsible for all the atrocities?

While not a villain, Chupacabra is pretty much exactly that in the Lords of Shadow trilogy. He's the playful goof who as it turns out is nowhere near as bumbling or childish as he appears to be.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.
