Renfields served the vampires of Wulfrum Hall in 1886. When [[Sir Dan]] was sent in to investigate the area by [[the Professor]], a Renfield at the front door of the mansion wouldn't let the knight in. Sir Dan was thus forced to use his newly discovered [[Dan-hand]] ability in order to sneak inside an open window into the kitchen. The Renfield in the kitchen was determined not to let Dan steal the [[Front Door Key]] that was sitting on a table, but was ultimately outsmarted by the undead knight. More Renfields awaited Sir Dan inside. | Renfields served the vampires of Wulfrum Hall in 1886.

Renfields are named after the henchman character [[wikipedia:Renfield|of the same name]] from the Gothic horror novel ''[[wikipedia:Dracula|Dracula]]'' which served as the main inspiration behind the Wulfrum Hall level. However, the appearance of Renfields is more like akin to an [[wikipedia:Igor (character)|Igor]], a stereotypical hunchbacked assistant to villains. | Renfields are named after the henchman character [[wikipedia:Renfield|of the same name]] from the Gothic horror novel ''[[wikipedia:Dracula|Dracula]]'' which served as the main inspiration behind the Wulfrum Hall level.
