[[File:300px-
{{quote|"What is a man? [[Your Little Dismissive Diminutive|A miserable little pile of secrets]]! But enough talk, have at you!"}}
Good ol' [[Dracula]], the King of Vampires you all know. In a twist, he doesn't start out as Vlad the Impaler, but a [[The Strategist|genius war strategist]] named Mathias Cronqvist. After his wife Elisabetha died, Mathias used his friend Leon Belmont in a [[Xanatos Gambit]] to steal the soul of a powerful vampire named Walter Bernhard with the Crimson Stone, gaining the allegiance of Death. He reveals that he has forsaken [[God]], who took away his wife, and will continue to curse Him for eternity. He retreats and changes his name to Vlad Tepes, while Leon [[Badass Boast|swears to]] kill an entire time of day.
He found a second chance at redemption after meeting a woman named Lisa Fahrenheit. They bonded and Lisa gave birth to [[Dhampyr|half-vampire]] Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes aka [[Sdrawkcab Name|Alucard]]. [[Burn the Witch|Unfortunately, Lisa ended up being burned at the stake for]] ''[[Disproportionate Retribution|practicing medicine]]''. Dracula snapped, declared that [[Humans Are
Dracula's reign as the lord of Castlevania finally came to an end in the year 1999, when an alliance of various world armies, aided by the Catholic Church and the Hakuba Shinto shrine, succeeded in sealing Dracula away from his castle (the source of his power), with Julius Belmont finishing him off. At the moment, this has not been actually depicted in any game, possibly due to [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|being entirely too awesome to do justice to]].
In ''Aria of Sorrow'' and ''Dawn of Sorrow'' he is reincarnated as Soma Cruz, who unsurprisingly doesn't want to fulfill his destiny. With the help of Alucard and others, his fate is successfully averted.
[[Nigh Invulnerability|Of course, that hasn't stopped him in the least.]] He '''''always''''' finds a way to [[Back
Tropes associated with the Castlevania version of Dracula:
Line 25:
{{quote|'''Dracula''': "It was not by my own hand that I am once again given flesh."}}
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: In the 2D games, almost all of his non-[[One-Winged Angel]] forms can only be damaged by [[Boom! Headshot!|hitting his head]].
* [[Back
* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: Dracula is the Dark Lord, a mandatory position that serves as the balance to [[God]] on Earth.
* [[Big Bad]]: Usually. In ''[[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow]]'', ''[[Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance]]'', ''[[Castlevania Bloodlines]]'' and ''[[Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin]]'' he is more of a [[Bigger Bad]].
Line 36:
* [[Faith Heel Turn]]: When Elisabetha died while Mathias was out fighting in the Crusades, the grief-stricken man didn't take this well. With the progression of time, his renouncement of God [[Rage Against the Heavens|escalated to new heights]].
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: See [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]].
* [[Genre Blind]]: So much that he's almost ''drowning'' in it. You'd think that by his third or so defeat at the hands of a Belmont or one of their allies that Dracula would take precautions such as sending out his legions post-mortem to kill the potential heirs before they reach maturity or setting up [[Death Trap|death traps]] early on, yet he's confident that the Belmonts pose no threat (despite his track record proving otherwise).
** To date, he's only been [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] ''twice'': in ''Rondo of Blood'' (he attacks Richter's hometown, but the hero was out training when it happened) and in ''Portrait of Ruin'' (where he [[Dual Boss|offers to fight alongside Death]], but he's defeated simply because Jonathan and Charlotte are the better duo).
** To his credit, he's practically immortal. So what if he dies? [[As Long as There Is Evil]], he can pretty much count on returning again and again, biding his time until he can catch his enemies in a moment of weakness. [[Evil Only Has to Win Once]], after all. What he didn't expect was Julius to seal the source of his power (his demonic castle) away during the battle of 1999.
Line 44:
* [[Hijacked by Ganon|Hijacked By Dracula]]: Happens fairly often. ''[[Symphony of the Night]]'', ''[[Harmony of Dissonance]]'' and ''[[Portrait of Ruin]]'' are some examples.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: In this series, he's really much more this than a standard vampire. In ''[[Dawn of Sorrow]]'', it's confirmed that he's literally ''the opposite of [[God]]''.
* [[Humans Are
{{quote|'''Dracula''': "I was called here by... ''hooominssssss''... who wished to pay me tribute!"}}
* [[Joker Immunity]]
Line 67:
* [[Pretty in Mink]]/[[Fur and Loathing]]: As Mathias.
** Soma rocks a fur coat in ''Aria'' too.
* [[Public Domain Character]]: One of the oldest. Oddly enough, despite the massive liberties it otherwise takes, Castlevania is unusual because it actually bothered to give Dracula a mustache like the original book described him as having.
* [[Reincarnation Romance]]: It's heavily implied that Lisa is the reincarnation of Elisabetha. The implications even extend to Soma Cruz and Mina Hakuba, who's suggested to be the next incarnation of these two women (similar to how Soma is Mathias/Dracula), much like Mina Harker ([[Shout-Out Theme Naming|note the similar-sounding surnames]]) from ''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula]]''.
* [[Resurrective Immortality]]: Dracula is resurrected in most of the games, the better for the player to have someone to fight. The exact methods vary.
Line 81:
=== Death ===
[[File:250px-
{{quote|"Then for the Master, I'll feast on your soul this night!"}}
Line 89:
As he is a [[Shinigami|god of death]], one would expect the protagonists of the series to be incapable of killing him. [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Somehow, they manage it.]] Fortunately, he is never gone for long, ensuring a long career of [[Sinister Scythe]] battles that have made him [[Best Boss Ever|beloved]] and [[That One Boss|feared]] by the fanbase.
Outside of battle, his role is inconsistent. At times, [[Enemies with Death|he is only there to fight]]. At other times, he drives the plot, bringing the revival of his lord to fruition by any means necessary. He has been known to interact with the protagonists more often than his lord, as he tries to dissuade Alucard from interfering, compares notes with Juste, manipulates Hector under a false identity, and shares a common enemy with the vampire hunters when Brauner arrives. He is always loyal to Dracula (although this not including Soma, his master reincarnated), and is [[Lawful Evil]]. Dialogue from ''Judgement'' and ''Curse of Darkness'' hint that he has strong hate toward time
Tropes associated with Death:
Line 102:
* [[The Dragon]]: The most loyal of Drac's servants.
** However, as seen in the ''Sorrow'' games, this respect does not carry on to Soma, most likely because Soma [[Refusal of the Call|rejected his destiny as the next Dark Lord]].
** [[Dragon Ascendant]]: In the games where Dracula has yet to revive, Death usually steps onto center stage with some form of a [[Xanatos Gambit]] in order to carry out his master's wishes.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Subverted in ''Portrait of Ruin'': he almost makes an offer to team up with Jonathan and Charlotte to defeat Brauner, but Jonathan rejects him since he's still working for Dracula, after all. [[Unwitting Pawn|They still wind up helping him, regardless.]]
* [[Four Is Death]]: In most of his [[Metroidvania]] incarnations, he has 4,444 HP.
Line 122:
=== Leon Belmont ===
[[File:250px-
{{quote|"I'll kill YOU and the Night!!"}}
Line 144:
=== Walter Bernhard ===
[[File:250px-Cloi-walter-
{{quote|"Welcome. I have been waiting, Leon."}}
Line 158:
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: He wants others to come after ''him''. See "[[Blood Knight]]" above.
* [[Not So Invincible After All]]: He has [[Nigh Invulnerability]]... except when faced by the awesome power of the Vampire Killer.
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]: He was deceived by Mathias and Death into believing that the Ebony Stone would revive him after his defeat and allow him to control Death. Instead, Death claims Walter's soul and uses it to create the Crimson Stone.}}
=== Joachim Armster ===
[[File:179px-
{{quote|"It's too bad... You aren't Walter."}}
Line 179:
=== Rinaldo Gandolfi ===
[[File:234px-
{{quote|"Don't you always? Ask away."}}
Line 196:
=== Sonia Belmont ===
[[File:
{{quote|"We all decide our own fate. It was you who taught me that, Alucard."}}
Line 206:
Up until her retcon, though, the tropes associated with her were:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Babies Ever After]]: She's shown holding her newborn infant in the epilogue of ''Legends''.
** [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Though an unusually [[Badass]] example.
Line 221:
=== Trevor Belmont ===
[[File:
{{quote|"No matter who may challenge, my clan will not falter."}}
Line 241:
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: Subtly and hilariously implied with his winning quote against Sypha in ''Judgment'':
{{quote|I fought fair and won the day. If only that was true in the household.}}
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: At first, to Hector in ''CoD''.
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Out of the four heroes in ''Dracula's Curse'', he's the balanced one. Strongest basic attack. Greatest variety of subweapons. Tied for strongest defense. Second longest attack range.
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Personality-wise in ''Curse of Darkness''--[[Humble Hero|he's quick to point out]] to Hector that he didn't beat Dracula alone; he had a LOT of help from people just as brave as him.
** Literally according to Grant in ''Akumajou Densetsu''. He offers to join as the speedster because Trevor's heavy
* [[Put
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
=== Grant DaNasty ===
[[File:250px-
{{quote|"Ugly freak! Good thing my blades don't discriminate."}}
Line 259:
* [[Badass Normal]]: Neither holy, nor magical/supernatural, nor a Belmont.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In ''Judgement''. It doesn't hurt his reputation as the Spider-man of Castlevania.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Trevor reappears in ''Curse of Darkness'', Sypha gets to have a lot of descendants, Grant was given nothing at all until ''Judgment''
** What's more, while Julius Mode in ''Dawn of Sorrow'' was conceived and plays out like a colossal [[Shout-Out]] to ''Dracula's Curse'', it lacks a Grant counterpart in any form; you can switch between Julius, Yoko, and Alucard. Apparently they were originally going to include Hammer in Julius Mode as the Grant analogue, but
*** He does get [[Throw the Dog a Bone|a bone thrown at him]] in ''Judgment'' though; he's recognized as one of the "Legendary Three Heroes" and rises to prominence as the man who helped rebuild Wallachia.
** He did get an appearance in ''Symphony of the Night'' and ''Portrait of Ruin'', appearing as a trio of zombie bosses along with Trevor and Sypha.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Second worst constitution, but makes up for it with wall-climbing.
* [[Knife Nut]]: This aspect of him is played up in ''Judgment''.
* [[Nakama]]: What he believes he and Trevor to be right from the off in ''[[Castlevania III:
* [[Nice Hat|Nice Bandana]]
* [[Pirate]]: He has this design in ''Dracula's Curse''.
Line 279:
=== Sypha Belnades ===
[[File:425px-
{{quote|"If you wish to see the power of the elements, it would be my pleasure."}}
Line 290:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Many fans have expressed concern that Sypha is nowhere to be seen in the Pachislot Akumajo Dracula games, while Trevor is aided by a new girl, Angela. To be fair, her being Trevor's wife might have something to do with it, but it still brings up questions, since she can defend herself just fine.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Her three basic elemental spells.
** ''Judgment'' adds [[Dishing Out Dirt|earth]] and [[Blow You Away|wind]]-elemental spells to her repertoire.
* [[Hot Witch]]
* [[In the Hood]]: Her outfit in ''Dracula's Curse''.
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: In ''Judgment''. Maria even makes note of it. [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|Sypha isn't so proud, though]].
{{quote|'''Sypha''': Will you stop? These things only get in the way.}}
* [[Knight Templar]]: The Sypha in ''Judgement'' was before she met Trevor and Alucard, and she's quick to try and kill any creature of the night (including [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Cornell]] and [[Gentle Giant|Golem]]),
* [[Magic Wand]]: In artwork, as well as ''Judgment''.
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: In her later appearances, this is dropped.
Line 303:
** Her last name might have been the result of a Japanese corruption of "Fernandez", as noted with Carrie Fernandez (see below).
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Lower constitution than Grant, but damn it, those spells!
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]
* [[Taken for Granite]]
** This turns into [[Nightmare Fuel]] when you realize that her original (Japanese) dialogue implies that she was ''[[And I Must Scream|conscious and aware]]'' the whole time she was a rock.
Line 311:
=== Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes (Alucard) ===
[[File:240px-
{{quote|"Dracula! In the name of my Mother, I will defeat you again!"}}
Line 323:
Tropes associated with Alucard:
* [[Aloof Ally]]
* [[Ascended Extra]], [[Breakout Character]]: In ''Dracula's Curse'', Alucard's introduction was widely overlooked, mostly due to his generic look and a very limited, somewhat mediocre set of abilities. However, when Alucard was brought back eight years later in ''Symphony of the Night'' with a new appearance and some nifty new tricks under his belt, Alucard's popularity skyrocketed to the point that he became just as synonymous with the franchise as its chief family of protagonists and their mortal enemies (if not ''
* [[The Atoner]]: A few games have hinted that part of Alucard's "family business" with Dracula is to atone for his father's wrongdoings.
* [[Badass]]: No Belmont? No problem, Alucard will kill his father ''himself''.
Line 349:
** In ''Dawn of Sorrow'''s Julius Mode, Alucard is the only character who can sit in chairs.
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[Summon Magic]]: ''SotN'' introduced us to Alucard's [[
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: As Arikado. The [[Sharp-Dressed Man|suit]] definitely helps too.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Into a bat and a wolf.
Line 359:
=== Hector ===
[[File:250px-
{{quote|"Isaac! I will hunt you down like the beast you are!!"}}
Line 366:
Tropes associated with Hector:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: How he eventually ended up in Dracula's employ.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: After his [[Heel Face Turn]], Hector's dark powers were also used to combat Dracula's legions.
* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]: He was perfectly content to remain in the castle as it crumbled, but Julia managed to convince him to live... [[Ship Tease|with her]].}}
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Dracula's callous nature towards humans appalled Hector. When he sent creatures to destroy Wallachia, this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
* [[Disposable Woman]]: Rosaly exists solely for this reason; at the end, he ends up with a woman who looks just like her...
* [[Ho Yay]] and [[Foe Yay]]: Oh boy, lots of it with Isaac.
** Arguably with Trevor, too. The cutscene after their first battle is... interesting looking.
Line 376:
* [[Retired Badass]]: Unlike Leon, who probably had an impressive stash of weapons from his time as a knight, Hector ''voluntarily'' [[Brought Down to Normal|sealed away his Devil Forgemaster powers]]. When he went after Isaac, all he had was a short sword and Hector had to spent to majority of the game regaining his former skills. It should be noted that as one of Dracula's generals, Hector's powers were considered equal to that of ''Death''.
* [[Revenge]]: Hoo boy, Isaac! You really ''shouldn't'' have implicated Rosaly as [[Burn the Witch|a practitioner of witchcraft]]...
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: Hector gets to sit in more than 10 different types of chairs
** Does this number include the save points and teleporters?
* [[Spanner in the Works]]: Messes up the last part of Death's plan {{spoiler|by not succumbing to Dracula's curse}} but...
Line 386:
=== Isaac ===
[[File:250px-3D-
{{quote|"You will receive the most gruesome fate for the humiliation you brought upon me three years ago!..."}}
Line 396:
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: And he's a ''dude''.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]/[[Foil]]: To Hector. [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|Whereas Hector is masculine, Isaac is very effeminate]] and [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|less level-headed]]. Their sense of dress and appearances are also mirrored. In a sense, Isaac represents everything Hector isn't.
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: He has red hair and is more impulsive.
Line 403:
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]
* [[Rival Turned Evil]]: Mostly out of spite and jealousy, but exacerbated by {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession|Dracula's influence]].}}
* [[Stripperiffic]]
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]
=== Julia Laforeze ===
[[File:200px-3D-
{{quote|"Be vigilant Hector. I have an ill feeling. It bodes not well."}}
Line 440:
=== Christopher Belmont ===
[[File:
A Belmont descendant that takes on Dracula when he revives... that's all his story is about in ''Adventure''. In ''Belmont's Revenge'', his story was fleshed out a bit with the birth of his son Soleiyu]] (properly Soleil), who was about to inherit the Vampire Killer until Dracula possessed him. Chris jumps back into action to save his son and succeeds. There is a remake of ''Adventure'', which seems to be rather different in content.
Line 447:
* [[Older Than They Think]]: He was mentioned as being a legend as far back as the Japanese manual for the original Castlevania.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: ''"I want my son back, [[Precision F-Strike|you son of a bitch.]]"''
* [[Punny Name]]: His son, Soleiyu. His name is a mistranslation of the French word ''soleil'', which means "sun". Sun = Son, which is what Soleiyu is in regards to Christopher.
* [[The Southpaw]]: He is the only left-handed Belmont to remain in canon. Richter is only a lefty when he's being messed with by Shaft and Drac. Trevor's ambidextrous, but that only half-way counts.
** In the Wiiware remake, he is now whipping with the same hand as everyone else.
Line 456:
=== Victor Belmont ===
[[File:200px-
Although Victor was born in the 1800s, the [[Powers That Be]] pulled him to the year 1666 to assist Sonia Belmont in destroying Dracula. When he was young, he decided that he wanted no part of the Belmont family's job as vampire hunters, and ran away from home. As he grew older, he took up gambling and also learned of the arts of warfare. One night in the 19th century, he got in a fight with another man when gambling. As Victor pulled out a knife, he was suddenly transported to the year 1666 by mysterious forces.
Line 466:
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: 19th century version.
* [[Badass Unintentional]]
* [[Expy]]: He looks like [[Tim Curry]].
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Victor attempted to escape his destiny, but he couldn't hide from it forever.
* [[Screw Destiny]]: He tried to, at least.
Line 475:
=== Simon Belmont ===
[[File:
{{quote|"On my honor as a Belmont, I will destroy you."}}
Line 498:
=== Carmilla ===
[[File:250px-
{{quote|"But isn't this world hellish already? People are intrigued by darkness, and covet power and chaos."}}
A devoted servant and
In ''Circle of the Moon'', she acts as the main antagonist. Carmilla manages to revive Dracula, but not to full power, so she planned to sacrifice the vampire hunter Morris Baldwin during a lunar eclipse of the full moon. She also enthralls Hugh Baldwin to her will to help prevent Nathan Graves' interference. While ultimately defeated, Carmilla still manages to complete the ritual to restore her master.
Tropes associated with Carmilla:
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: Her [[One-Winged Angel|true form usually]] is that of a [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|naked]] woman riding
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Her over-sexualized persona in ''Judgment''.
* [[Hair Colors]]: Usually some [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|bluish]] [[Hair Color Dissonance|shade]], but ''CotM'' had her as a brunette.
* [[Humans Are
▲* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: She believes that darkness is the true nature of humans, and hopes that Dracula will bring it out. Unlike Dracula, she shows no enmity towards mankind.
* [[Iconic Item]]: Her mask, which first served as her appearance in ''Simon's Quest'', has made frequent reappearances. It hangs on the wall during her ''Rondo of Blood'' battle, and she uses a mask-adorned iron maiden as her hyper move in ''Judgment''. It also shows up in the Cave of Skeletons in ''Harmony of Dissonance'' alongside many other [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]].
* [[Lesbian Vampire]]/[[Depraved Bisexual]]: Laura, the [[Catgirl]] seen in ''Rondo'' and ''PoR'', is her servant and apparently her lover. Now factor this into her [[The Vamp|vampish]] nature towards pretty much anyone else, and...
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Especially in ''Judgment''.▼
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: In ''Circle of the Moon'', in a stark contrast to [[Stripperiffic|every]] [[Full-Frontal Assault|other]] [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|appearance]].
* [[Psycho Supporter]]/[[Undying Loyalty]]: To Dracula, with heavy implications of [[Mad Love]].
▲* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Especially in ''Judgment''.
* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: Her namesake is... [[Carmilla|well]]...
* [[The Vamp]]

[[File:231px-
{{quote|"Tha-that bracelet... so you wore it after all..."}}
Line 563 ⟶ 561:
A childhood friend of Juste and Maxim. She is kidnapped and taken to Dracula's Castle, which leads Juste and Maxim to going there in the first place.
Tropes associated with Lydie:
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: In the best ending, this is hinted at with Juste.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]
Line 570 ⟶ 568:
=== The Merchant ===
A mysterious merchant that got lost within Dracula's Castle, so set up a shop there.

=== Richter Belmont ===
[[File:450px-
{{quote|"Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!"}}
Line 589 ⟶ 587:
Tropes associated with Richter:
* [[A Sinister Clue]]: How do we know that Richter is [[Not Himself]] in ''SotN''? When Shaft's possessing him, he uses his left hand to whip.▼
* [[Badass in Distress]]: He was [[Badass]] in his debut, then he got caught and below in ''Symphony of the Night''. Then, he retains much of the badassery off-screen, but {{spoiler|Jonathan Morris can feel it when he fought the Whip Memory in his form}}.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Dons one after the [[Time Skip]] in ''SotN''.
Line 598 ⟶ 595:
* [[Bishonen]]: By this point, you should be able to notice that the Belmont family has really, ''really'' good genetics.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In his tenure of distress.
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: For a total of four girls!
* [[
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Once he realizes he's helped to revive Dracula.

* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Cute Witch]] [[Time Skip|-->]] [[Hot Witch]]
* [[Hair Decorations]]▼
* [[The Four Gods]]: Four of her animals are cuter versions of them.
* [[Full-Contact Magic]]: In ''Nocturne in the Moonlight'' (see "[[What Could Have Been]]"), Maria mainly uses [[Good Old Fisticuffs|punches and kicks]] to fight, but also fires energy blasts from her fingertips to strike long-distance enemies. She ''can'' cast spells normally though.
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: The names of her attacks. We know that the Castlevania games are made in Japan, but the only game that has ''anything'' to do with Japan is ''Aria of Sorrow'' (and ''Dawn of Sorrow'', by extension, though in even lesser aspects).
▲* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Animals, including owls, doves, dragons, cats...
* [[Kid Hero]]: In ''Rondo''.
* [[She's Got Legs]]: And Grade C [[Zettai Ryouiki]] to help flaunt 'em.
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Richter's health powerups are meat. Maria's are sweet cakes, candies, and ice cream.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: He ''is'' technically a priest.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Some of his sprites make him look like this.
* [[Something Only They Would Say]]: One major clue to {{spoiler|the fact that he is possessing Richter}} in ''Symphony of the Night'' is the incantation that {{spoiler|Richter}} uses to summon monsters to attack Alucard: it's the exact same thing Shaft says when summoning monsters to fight Richter in Rondo of Blood.

The keeper of Dracula's Castle's library. He helps Alucard in his quest to find out why the Castle has reappeared by selling him items and equipment.

=== Nathan Graves ===
[[File:250px-
Another non-Belmont (and [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]), he is trained alongside [[Ho Yay|Hugh Baldwin]] by [[Old Master|Morris]] [[Badass Grandpa|Baldwin]], a member of a group of vampire hunters who defeated Dracula. He is chosen over Hugh to inherit the Hunter's Whip ([[Retcon|not the Vampire Killer]]), which leads to [[Foe Yay|resentment]] on Hugh's part. When Dracula is revived by Carmilla, Nathan and co. go to the castle to put him down. Dracula separates Hugh and Nathan from Morris, whom he [[James Bondage|kidnaps]] in order to use in a ritual to release his true power. Nathan and Hugh split up, and eventually come to blows when Hugh is put under [[More Than Mind Control]] by Dracula. Nathan beats him, frees Morris after a fight with Dracula, and everybody escapes the castle.
Line 724 ⟶ 715:
=== Morris Baldwin ===
A vampire hunter who sealed Dracula away along with Nathan's parents 10 years before Circle of the Moon. He chose Nathan as his successor, rather than his son, Hugh.
Tropes associated with Morris:

Morris' son and Nathan's rival. He is jealous of Nathan because Nathan was chosen as the successor to Morris. He also believes than Nathan is too weak to fight alongside him.

Tropes associated with Carrie:

=== Henry Oldrey ===

Line 929 ⟶ 919:
=== Eric Lecarde ===
[[File:
{{quote|"Witness the might of the Alucard Spear!"}}
Line 941 ⟶ 931:
Tropes associated with Eric:
* [[Always Second Best]]: Even though he is smarter than John, he'll always be second best because he uses the Alucard Spear, which in itself was made to do nothing ''but charge the Vampire Killer'', something which frustrates him to no end. Actually, it's amazing he was never a [[Rival Turned Evil]] because of this.
* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: US version of ''Bloodlines'' has his portrait [[Rated "M" for Manly|look like]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20141103021256/http://www.castlevaniadungeon.net/

=== Jonathan Morris ===

{{quote|"We can take on anyone. No problem!"}}
Line 966 ⟶ 955:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Mentioning how his dad could use the whip and not him will get a reaction out of him. Once he learns the truth behind the whip however, he gets over it.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "No problem!"
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: SHOWTIME!
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Some of his sub-weapons qualify for this: namely the paper airplanes, cream pies, and darts.
* [[Informed Ability]]: The manual says he has a sense of humor, but we don't really get to see it. It also says he's [[Brilliant but Lazy]], but we don't get to see that either.
** He does show a cool calm confidence, however, which may imply he's not taking it fully seriously. Additionally, there's a quote at the very end which is telling Charlotte to just relax or something. It's close, but not fully defined.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: "[Charlotte]'s like my kid sister!"
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: In regards to the whip.

=== Stella and Loretta ===
[[File:
Brauner's twin vampire daughters {{spoiler|(not really)}} who appear occasionally to antagonize the duo.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Loretta.
Line 1,011 ⟶ 996:
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]
* [[Daddy's Girl]]/[[Daddy's Little Villain]]: They play with the latter trope due to being [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] while they [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruct]] the former, since them rushing to help their father was what caused them to be vampirized.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita
* [[Expy]]/[[Homage]]: Of [[Rozen Maiden|Suiseiseki and Souseiseki]].
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]: Stella
Line 1,023 ⟶ 1,008:
=== Brauner ===
[[File:450px-
{{quote|''This... is '''ART!'''''}}
An artist whose daughters were killed during [[World War I]], Brauner [[Mad Artist|went insane]] [[Go Mad
It is worth noting at this point that in the whole of the [[Castlevania]] series, Brauner is the only character to call out Dracula for dying so ridiculously often and never accomplishing anything.
Later, Brauner noticed an interloper within the castle halls. This interloper turned out to be Eric Lecarde. Brauner ambushed and killed him... just as Eric's daughters burst into the rooms, attempting a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment. Brauner, noticing that they bore an uncanny resemblance to his own daughters, instantly concluded that they must be his own daughters reincarnated and vampirized them in order to convince them of the same ([[Adult Fear|all while the dying Eric looked on helplessly]].)
When Jonathan and Charlotte showed up some time later, Brauner wasn't happy about it, but underestimated the heroes. Unfortunately for him, Stella and Loretta were a bit ''too'' loyal to his cause, and tried to destroy Jonathan and Charlotte themselves (despite his repeatedly telling them to stay back, out of harm's way, and let him handle the situation.) This just ended up giving Charlotte and Jonathan the opportunity to cure the sisters of their vampirism and brainwashing.
Line 1,037 ⟶ 1,022:
When Brauner found out what had happened... well, he was rather [[Unstoppable Rage|upset]]. He promptly tried to destroy the heroes with his artistic powers, only to be crushed in battle. As he lay in his weakened state, he admitted that justice might not have been on his side after all, but adamantly refused to admit that his victorious opponents might have the moral high ground. That was all he got to say before Death showed up to finish him off and fully awaken the soul of Dracula.
* [[Big Bad]]: With Death for most of Portrait of Ruin. Though the plot mostly focuses on Brauner.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: "'''BLOOD ART TECHNIQUE!!!'''"
* [[Kick the Dog]]: He does this to Eric in the way mentioned above.

Line 1,063 ⟶ 1,048:
Later, a cult confronts him, trying to revive Dracula, and chooses him as one of the candidates where Dracula could be revived. Soma confronts them and eventually prevails in resisting to become the new Dark Lord (again).
Tropes associated with Soma:
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: It was more [[Badass]] in Aria, but the Dawn one is still awesome.
* [[Badass Spaniard]]: For Chaos' sake, his last name is ''Cruz''!
** In the local version of his games, he's Japanese and his surname is literally ''Kurusu'', while in international versions he becomes a transfer student named Cruz.
* [[Blessed with Suck]]/[[Cursed with Awesome]]: Is Dracula's reincarnation. But hey, he gets to use all those nifty souls to kick ass!
* [[Hikaru Midorikawa]]: His seiyuu.▼
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: He fights by absorbing the souls of his defeated enemies, yet remains a fairly [[Nice Guy]].
* [[Evil Laugh]]: If Soma becomes the Dark Lord in Dawn, he gains an epic [[Evil Laugh]] that would give the old Drac a run for his money!
▲* [[Hikaru Midorikawa]]: His seiyuu.
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: He's the reincarnation of Dracula. This is made explicit in the opening cutscenes of ''Dawn of Sorrow''.
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: If Soma does not wear the amulet he was given {{spoiler|he suffers the same fate he did in his past life and becomes evil to avenge the death of a loved one, or whatever Mina is to him.}}
Line 1,076 ⟶ 1,061:
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Initially.
* [[Pretty in Mink]]
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Around Mina Hakuba, his [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]. It takes the sheer gravity of what he's been through (and [[
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: He IS Dracula's reincarnation after all.
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: If the player makes the wrong choice, this surfaces and Soma becomes Dracula.

Line 1,114 ⟶ 1,099:
Tropes associated with Yoko:
* [[Action Girl]]: She's playable in Julius Mode in ''Dawn of Sorrow'', where she can really unleash her abilities.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Her three spells she can cast when you play as her. Also meant as a [[Continuity Nod]] to Sypha's spells in ''[[
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: Is taken out of the action in ''Aria'' by being stabbed, with an ordinary knife. No other character has been so easy to take down, and indeed, come Dawn, she can take quite a few stabs from random mooks.
* [[Hot Witch]]

Tropes associated with Celia:
* [[Big Bad]]: Essentially.
* {{spoiler|[[Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: If she manages to turn Soma into Dracula, [[Gone Horribly Right|he promptly kills her]]. If the honor goes to Dmitrii, he uses her as a sacrifice.}}

A warrior from the Brotherhood of Light who seeks the powers of the lords of shadow to resurect his dead wife.
Line 1,277 ⟶ 1,262:
* [[The Atoner]]
* [[Badass]]
* [[Byronic Hero]]: Well-spoken, if not as demonstrably intelligent as many examples of the trope. Prone to brooding and "dark moods." He fights vampires and werewolves, but more for his own reasons than those of the Brotherhood, and while he admits that he has done "questionable things" throughout his quest, circumstances continue to force him to perform more. Also, he's willing to commit countless murder in order to achieve their goals - primarily his own interests rather than the greater good even though he has [[Rousseau Was Right|inherent good on him]] and do commit himself in achieving the greater good.

* [[Undead Child]]▼
* [[Sore Loser]]
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: The years have been kind on her mental and emotional maturity.
▲* [[Undead Child]]
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: It's quite jarring seeing a child beg a man to put her out of her missery and end her accursed existence.
* [[The Woobie]]: It really shines through when she sees Marie's ghost embrace Gabriel.
Line 1,364 ⟶ 1,348:
=== Cornell ===
Lord of the Lycans.
