I already know some general details about his life like his relationship with the Ottoman Empire and some captivity bits etc...my question is a little bit more specific though. In the research I've already done I have largely found details about the bigger things he's been involved with but I'm not finding details about his day to day life really, or furthermore concrete evidence regarding the vampire stories short of the author who wrote the first story about it.
I would like to be very clear that I am not asking you to write my report for me. I am asking for a nudge in the right direction, answers like "have you heard about __? There are some interesting articles about it but in general (this) is what happened."
I wouldn't stop anyone from going in depth if you'd like to, especially considering the nature of this subreddit, but I don't want this to get buried because I happen to be studying him for a short research paper.
Thank you all in advance if I get responses. If you would like I will upload my finished paper here as well!
