Tepes D. Vlad (ツェペシュD.ヴラド, Tsuepeshu D. Vurado) is former Marine Admiral who went rogue years ago and founded the organization known as Jinchūriki. A shadowy figure who is as hated as he is grudgingly respected by the Marines, he is said to be the one who has the most complete knowledge of what happened during the Void Century. This is in part due to the information he had access to as a Admiral, but mostly due to the powers of his Devil Fruit, the Paramecia-type Resu Resu no Mi, said to be the most unholy and sinister devil fruit in existence. This fruit allows him to revive the dead, making him a "Resurrection-Man".
