Bela appears in The Wolf Man. He is a Gypsy fortune teller who is played by Bela Lugosi, and is the son of the Gypsy crone Maleva. Unknown to anyone but his mother however is the fact that Bela is a werewolf, doomed to transform into a wolf during the full moon and kill those who bear the mark of the pentagram somewhere on their person.
