Note that in _Orca_, Kiera shows up with her hair brushed forward to hide
her noble's point; she snarkily wonders if Vlad even notices.  And later
when Vlad dresses up like a Chreotha he steals a wig with a noble's point,
but otherwise he's sort of able to pass with (8-inch) boots and a little
powder for his beard.  Perhaps being in the wilderness has helped his face
become thinner...

Vlad wears a mustache to look less Dragaeran so he certainly wouldn't
have a noble's coiffure.
