Backcourt vampires WAG [spoilers all incl BG]
Icecream:
Blampire WAG.
Drakul first created them by using necromancy combined with soulfire. My WAG is the reason Garlic is Blampire kryptonite is because He or his son were allergic to garlic and in using soulfire he accidentally transferred that weakness to his progenies.
Another spitball idea - a steak through the heat kills them because instead of a drum beat, soulfire has been used to fake a heartbeat that perpetually keeps the dead vampires running instead of a drummer. Steak through the heart is like stopping the drumming in necromancy and will stop them dead in their tracks. They need to keep topping up on human life to refill the battery to keep it ticking over.

Who gave him the soul fire?
Icecream:
Does it have to be "gifted" . I assumed magic using mortals had the capability to use it, but some just need a push. I mean it runs of their own soul.

Have to go back and reread Small Favor, but the way I read the way Uriel explained it, it is gifted.
It is a gift not given lightly, it was given to Harry because he threw off Lasciel's shadow, and so he could balance Hell Fire. It just doesn't seem like something that would be gifted to Drakul. However Hell Fire could very well have been gifted to him to be used in much the same way as Soul Fire.

IIRC Dracula created himself as the first Blampire, I don't think Drakul actually created them. Dracula, being a scion with mortal Free Will, could have been gifted Soulfire.
Now he is commanding them in BG, but maybe he just kind of "reverse inherited" command over them when Dracula was killed in the Stokerlypse.
Although... I wonder if the soulfire/necromancy thing was actually ghouls, not Blampires. There doesn't seem to be anything "soul" like about Blampires, they're just animated corpses. Ghouls are actually alive.
