The master of one of the seven noble families of Makai. One day he challenged Belial Aensland, Morrigan's father, one of the three high nobles, and the ruler of Makai, for the throne. The end result: he was pwned so hard that both he and [[Haunted Castle|his castle Zeltzereich]] were ripped through reality into the human world. For the next 100 years he was quietly restoring his lost powers all while drinking the blood of unlucky treasure hunters who dared to enter his castle. All of them became his servants.

When he restored most of his powers, Pyron dropped in to conquer Earth, and Demitri used this opportunity to defeat him and absorb Pyron's power. When he felt that he was ready, he returned to Makai, only to find that Belial had died, and the result was a very serious power struggle. Before he could take advantage of it, he and his castle were sucked into the Majigen, the pocket dimension created by Jedah Dohma.

The daughter of Belial Aensland, she was born with power that rivaled [[Rank Inflation|S class]] high nobles. Fearing that that Morrigan would lose control of that power, Belial split her soul in half, taking part of her power. But since the two halves of her soul were trying to return to each other, Belial further split one half of her soul into two in order to weaken the drawing effect. And so Morrigan's soul was split into three: half of the soul was in herself, another 1/4 was sealed in Belial's body and the last 1/4 was sealed in a separate dimension, and it eventually materialized as her "sister", Lilith.

But Morrigan grew up not knowing anything about the above events. She spent her days as a [[Rebellious Princess]] and generally being the combat-crazy version of Paris Hilton. It's only after her father's death that she starts taking things seriously. While trying to end the power struggle in Makai, she was sucked into Jedah's Majigen dimension, where she met Lilith, and after some fighting, reunited with her and gained immense power.

During the events of ''Darkstalkers 3'', Hannya and Kien were sucked into the Majigen, where the overflowing spirit energies allowed Hannya to manifest itself once again. It took the form of Bishamon, as the armor had become accustomed to that form, but before it could begin another massacre, the real Bishamon sealed it away.

He has an alternate form in ''Darkstalkers 3'' called "Oboro Bishamon", which is what would have happened if Bishamon had mastered controlling the cursed armor, and fights you as a [[True Final Boss|Secret Final Boss]] if you get enough super finishes and perfects.

Roughly ten years after 1/3 of Morrigan's soul was sealed in an isolated space, it became self-aware.

When Jedah noticed it, he struck a deal with it: the soul would gain a physical form and in return it must lure Morrigan and the other Darkstalkers to him. And thus Lilith was born, the childish, cheerful, flat chested version of Morrigan, who goes to find her "sister".

Revision as of 09:15, 9 April 2017


The various public domain monsters of the Darkstalkers/Vampire series are compiled here for your convinence. Names are listed as English/Japanese.

Before we get started, here are a few tropes that apply to (at least) most of the cast.

  • Action Girl: Just about every female playable character.
  • Cool Versus Awesome: The series' reputation for actually adhering to continuity aside, this trope is the backbone of the plot.
  • Cute Monster Girl: Again, all of the playable females, barring B.B. Hood, who's a human (but a monster on the inside).
  • Fan Service: And lots of it.
  • Fantasy Kitchen Sink
  • Monster Mash
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Some of these are blatantly obvious, but the more notable examples will be explained.
  • Our Monsters Are Different/Our Demons Are Different: The demons of Makai are a mixed bag; some of them are classic takes on common monsters, while others stray from the norm. Overlaps with Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot in some cases.
  • Perverse Sexual Lust
  • Power Levels: The characters of the series are gauged by their strength:
    • Class S Darkstalkers are strong enough demons which can be considered Physical Gods. Their powers also tend to veer into Reality Warper territory. The Three High Nobles of Makai and Morrigan are all Class S, and Belial, one of the big three, was a Class S+.
    • Class A Darkstalkers are the exceptionally strong demons, most of them filling the ranks of the Eight Noble Families of Makai.
    • Class B Darkstalkers are the more powerful demons with sufficient training.
    • Class C Darkstalkers are the average demons, which make up the backbone of Makai, and thus one can take down a small army of humans.
    • Class D Darkstalkers are your run-of-the-mill human, and the wild beasts of Makai who may reach the power of Class Bs, but are usually not civilized.
  • Shout-Out: Most of the character's "birth dates" are tied to the legendary creatures they were based on.
    • Morrigan: Morrigan's date of birth (1678) coincides with the first appearance of a succubus in Scotland.
    • Felicia: She was born in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1967. This is most likely a reference to "Curse of the Catwoman", a poem written circa 1967 by Edward Field.
    • Jon Talbain: His surname sounds similar to "Talbot", the surname of the main character from the 1941 film version of The Wolf Man. Talbain was born in 1940. While the titular Wolfman is named Lawrence (nicknamed "Larry"), the film also depicts his father: Sir John Talbot.
    • Lord Raptor: In 1889, "The Country of the Comers-Back" (aka "Le Pays De Revenants") was an essay depicting zombies published in Harper's Magazine.
    • Victor: Mary Shelley's famous work, Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus, was originally published in 1818. Its final revision was in 1830, the birth date of Victor. 101 years later, it was adapted into a film (for the second time; the first film was made in 1910), which launched the career of Boris Karloff. This is the best-known adaptation.
    • Rikuo: His birth date (1953) date of birth coincides with release date of the classic horror film The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). The film is centered on an amphibious creature that besieges anyone foolish enough to go out to sea. The creature was played by actor Ricou Browning.
    • Sasquatch: Whereas the typical yeti/Abominable Snowman/Sasquatch/Bigfoot was originally sighted in 1811, Sasquatch was born in 1903. This was the same date that Western scientists discovered Central Africa's breed of mountain gorillas. That same year, a newspaper printed the testimony of a man who said he watched as a man was killed by aborigines, which he said looked like a black man, but covered all over with gray hair.
  • Stripperific: Most prominently seen with Morrigan, Felicia, and Lilith.
  • You Sexy Beast

So, without further ado...

Introduced in Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors/Vampire

Demitri Maximoff

Class: Vampire
Origin: Romania
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (games), Akio Ohtsuka (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese), Paul Dobson (Night Warriors OVA, English), Richard Epcar (Cross Edge, English)

The master of one of the seven noble families of Makai. One day he challenged Belial Aensland, Morrigan's father, one of the three high nobles, and the ruler of Makai, for the throne. The end result: he was pwned so hard that both he and his castle Zeltzereich were ripped through reality into the human world. For the next 100 years he was quietly restoring his lost powers all while drinking the blood of unlucky treasure hunters who dared to enter his castle. All of them became his servants.

When he restored most of his powers, Pyron dropped in to conquer Earth, and Demitri used this opportunity to defeat him and absorb Pyron's power. When he felt that he was ready, he returned to Makai, only to find that Belial had died, and the result was a very serious power struggle. Before he could take advantage of it, he and his castle were sucked into the Majigen, the pocket dimension created by Jedah Dohma.

Tropes associated with Demitri Maximoff:

"Let's play."


Morrigan Aensland

Class: Succubus
Origin: Scotland
Voiced by: Yayoi Jinguji (games), Kathleen Barr (Night Warriors OVA), Yumi Touma (Dengeki Bunko drama CD), Rei Sakuma (Vampire Hunter OVA and drama CD, Gunbird 2), Erin Fitzgerald (Cross Edge, English), Rie Tanaka (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Japanese), Siobhan Flynn (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, English)

The daughter of Belial Aensland, she was born with power that rivaled S class high nobles. Fearing that that Morrigan would lose control of that power, Belial split her soul in half, taking part of her power. But since the two halves of her soul were trying to return to each other, Belial further split one half of her soul into two in order to weaken the drawing effect. And so Morrigan's soul was split into three: half of the soul was in herself, another 1/4 was sealed in Belial's body and the last 1/4 was sealed in a separate dimension, and it eventually materialized as her "sister", Lilith.

But Morrigan grew up not knowing anything about the above events. She spent her days as a Rebellious Princess and generally being the combat-crazy version of Paris Hilton. It's only after her father's death that she starts taking things seriously. While trying to end the power struggle in Makai, she was sucked into Jedah's Majigen dimension, where she met Lilith, and after some fighting, reunited with her and gained immense power.

Tropes associated with Morrigan Aensland:

Felicia

Class: Catwoman
Origin: USA
Voiced by: Kae Araki (games), Lisa Ann Beley (Western cartoon), Yukana Nogami (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese), Janyse Jaud (Night Warriors OVA, English), Melissa Fahn (Cross Edge, English), Kana Asumi (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Japanese), Gina Bowes (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, English; credited as G.K. Bowes)

Felicia was raised in an orphanage by a nun named Rose. After Rose passed away, Felicia decided to make a name for herself and left town. Meeting other cat-women along the way, they started a musical group which was a smash hit.

Tropes associated with Felicia:

  • Absolute Cleavage: Very easy when her fur stripes barely even qualifies as an outfit.
  • Adult Child: Has slowly been turned into one thanks to Flanderization.
  • Animal Motifs: Take a wild guess...
  • Anime Chinese Girl: She dresses as one in her Pocket Fighter ending, where she was inadvertently casted in a kung fu movie by Ken.
  • Amazonian Beauty: Zigzagged, although it varies from artist to artist. Her physique can range from a body type akin to Morrigan's to that of a gymnast/olympic swimmer to even that of a figure competitor, but she still remains gorgeous and a capable fighter.
  • Assist Character: The catgirls who appear in her Please Help Me special.
  • Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny
  • Battle Aura: During Rolling Buckler, Rolling Scratch, and Tumble Cat (kick throw) she has a green aura visible. If using an alternate palette, the color of this aura will change to match her eye color.
    • This is justified in her EX Charge move where she crouches and emits a battle aura, which manually fills up her Hyper Gauge.
  • Badass Adorable
  • Bare Your Midriff: Felicia bares this and a LOT more.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Just because she chose a pacifistic lifestyle, and just because her motto is always turning the other cheek, it doesn't means that she cannot punch your head off or cut you into ribbons if you piss her off enough.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: She has a bit of it. She is also fond of tossing horrible puns here and there.
  • Boobs of Steel: At 88 cm, Felicia has the largest bust of all the Darkstalkers females, edging out Morrigan by 2 cm (it should also be noted that she's bustier than the 87 cm Mai Shiranui). She also happens to be the most physically-oriented fighter on the female side and (Depending on the Artist) possesses a more muscular build than the other ladies.
  • Breakout Character: Alongside Morrigan, Felicia's popularity with fans led to her being included in tons of spinoff and crossover games.
  • Catgirl: She is the living embodiment.
  • Catfolk
  • Cat Smile: Naturally. Depending on the artist, Felicia will flash one from time to time.
  • Cool Big Sis: Felicia technically becomes this, albeit in an obverted sense of the trope: In her Darkstalkers 3 ending, Felicia becomes a nun and founds the orphanage "Felicity House", and all of the children look up to her.
  • Cool Pet: Plays the role of one to Harry Grimoire in the cartoon, assuming the form of an actual cat to ward off suspicion. In one of the official mangas, Felicia was the "pet" and secret best friend of a rich (and lonely) kid, acting as his bodyguard when two bumbling kidnappers took the kid away. Some chapters later, Felicia meets Jon Talbain and retakes the pet charade after they start living together.
  • Cosplay: Played for laughs but with a more adult tone in the 1996 manga version, where Jon Talbain and Felicia share a tiny apartament, with Jon posing as a plain (and antisocial) human, while Felicia stays in her cute kitty form to avoid attracting unwanted attention. One of their neighbors casually sees Felicia in her normal form, but she assumes Felicia is just a plain woman wearing a sexy cat costume, visiting Jon for some, ah... fetish sex.
  • Cute Little Fangs
  • Dance Battler: Felicia's both a fighter and an exotic dancer.
  • Does Not Like Shoes: As was shown in the UDON comic, the size and volume of Felicia's feet makes wearing shoes a painful and unconfortable experience for her.
  • Exposed to the Elements: Felicia can fight anywhere in her Fur Bikini, be it in the hot depths of the Makai, or the arctic regions of Canada/Japan.
  • Fan Service: Felicia's entire race, being a race made of nothing but females (Word of God confirms this) who romp around naked all the time and, on top of that, are playful, open-minded beings who consider humans as an interesting race, rather than just seeing them as bastards or a food source as the other characters do. Word of God has said that whenever a Catwoman and a male of whatever species mate, the offspring is always a catgirl. That still doesn't explains the origin of Felicia's race, but it helps a little.
  • Failed Attempt At Drama: Some of her victory poses involve Felicia attempting to strike a dramatic stance, and after a couple of seconds bursting into laughter, getting distracted by moving objects, or having the moment ruined by one of her kitty helpers photobombing out from nowhere.
  • Female Feline, Male Mutt: With Jon Talbain.
  • Foreign Fanservice: She's an American, and she has the largest bust and hips of the Darkstalkers ladies.
  • For Happiness: Her outlook on life in a nutshell.
  • Friend to All Children: Felicia loves children and wishes to take care of those who cannot defend themselves. In the UDON comic, she brings Jon to the orphanage she grew up in, and the children there were more than happy to see her. Jon also fell into this category after spending a night there.
  • Fur Bikini: In the American cartoon. In everything else, she has nothing but her own naturally-grown fur barely covering certain parts.
  • Genki Girl: Her eccentricities sometimes approach Cloudcuckoolander levels.
  • A Handful for an Eye: Although not intentionally, one of her specials involves kicking ki-infused sand at her opponent.
  • Head Pet: She can actually jump on top of someone's head and they'll go into an idle pose.
  • Idol Singer: What she aspired to be... or more specifically, her goal was to be the Western equivalent of it, a superstar diva starlet.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl and Ms. Fanservice.
  • Jiggle Physics: It's hard to notice at first, but she does indeed have very large breasts (the largest in the series in spite of what the anime and a lot of fanart may suggest) and they are in fact the only ones that bounce. They are bigger than Mai Shiranui's by 1 cm. Just think about it.
  • Killer Rabbit: In one of her supers, Felicia calls for help. Four other catwomen (Pico, Alto, Grace, and Lucy) come to her aid and utterly wreck you for messing with Felicia.
  • Meaningful Name: Felicia (and male name counterpart Felix) means happiness. Fits well for Felicia since she wishes to coexist with humans in peace. There's also the obvious similarity with "feline" too.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Competes with Morrigan on this.
  • Naughty Nuns: She becomes a nun in the ending of the third game, just like her foster parent Rose. Subverted, as while she's pretty much naked under that fur, she's merely a Innocent Fanservice Girl.
  • Older Than They Look: Felicia was born in 1967, so she'd be over 40 right now, but still looks to be in her late teens to early twenties.
  • One-Gender Race: The Catwoman race is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. They're able to reproduce with humans (and have been given rights like ordinary human citizens), but the offspring is always another catgirl.
  • Prehensile Tail: Felicia can use her tail to whip her opponents, or use it to hold her whole body up from her standing hard kick.
  • Rapunzel Hair: Felicia's hair reaches past her waist, and it encircles her whenever she flip jumps or does her Rolling Buckler. It also just happens to cover her bare butt from being seen during certain stances or when she's shown from behind.
  • Sideboob
  • Sexy Backless Outfit: Like with the rest of her body, Felicia bares her back wholly, then again, she's technically naked.
  • She Fu: Combines fighting with her natural cat-grace and flexibility. Some of her moves even flash her butt.
  • She's Got Legs
  • Ship Tease: She seems to be involved a lot with Talbain—in the UDON comic, official manga adaptations and the OVA.
    • In the Chinese manhua adaptation, seems to be involved with both Jon Talbain AND Demitri.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Just like Sonic the Hedgehog, she can roll into a ball to attack her foes.
    • Her Midnight Bliss form is a sultry poser similar to Marilyn Monroe.
    • In her Darkstalkers 3 ending, the children at the orphanage ask her to sing a song. Felicia complies and begins with the words "Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!".
    • "I hope I can have Blanka for my leading man!"
  • Sleep Mode Size: Her intro, as well both the cartoon and OVA, and one of her winposes, show Felicia having the ability to transform into a regular cat.
  • Stripperiffic: Thin fur stripes. 'Nuff said.
  • Thong of Shielding: Barely a thong at that, and she fights demons and monsters practically naked. Either way, she looks hot doing so!
  • Underboobs: Some of her animation frames (such as her vertical kick) include this, purposely hiding her fur stripes.
  • Wall Jumper: With a twist. She can jump off of or cling to walls, but if she stays put for too long, she'll slide back down in typical cat fashion.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: In Namco X Capcom, Felicia is paired with Tekken's King. One of their tag supers is a double Shining Wizard.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: She's got so much you could lose yourself in it.


Jon Talbain/Gallon

Class: Werewolf
Origin: England
Voiced by: Yuji Ueda (games), Fumihiko Tachiki (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese)

Jonathan Talbain was an orphan living peacefully in England until the night of the full moon, when he experienced his first transformation. He was quickly outcast from society. Thinking that in order to control his inner beast he must control his body, he subjected himself to intense Training from Hell. In time, he succeeded, and while the adults didn't accept him back, the children did.

With the creation of the Majigen, his soul was sucked in, and the beast he had tried for so long to control had resurfaced. In his ending, Talbain came face-to-face with his dark self, and concluding that he can't suppress the beast any longer, goes for another session of Training from Hell.

His Japanese name is actually pronounced "garou", as in the Japanese word for "hungry wolf", as opposed to "gallon", as in "ten-gallon hat".

Tropes associated with Jon Talbain/Gallon


Bishamon

Class: Demon Samurai
Origin: Japan
Bishamon voiced by: Kan Tokumaru (games), Masashi Ebara (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese), Don Brown (Night Warriors OVA, English)
Hannya voiced by: Shozo Iizuka (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese), Michael Dobson (Night Warriors OVA, English)

In Feudal Japan, he came upon a cursed armor called Hannya and a forbidden sword called Kien in his friend's antique shop. The next thing he realizes, he is at home. After some looking around, he finds out that he forcefully took the set from the shop owner, but he doesn't remember, nor has any idea why he did it. For several weeks, Bishamon just stared at the armor, like he was in a trance, despite concerns from his wife. Then one day he donned the armor, and all hell broke loose. The armor possessed him, and started a massacre that continued for days. When Pyron came to Earth, the energies produced by him overloaded the armor and Bishamon was set free. Vowing to prevent Hannya from taking more lives, he hides the armor and the sword, and he and his wife become monks.

During the events of Darkstalkers 3, Hannya and Kien were sucked into the Majigen, where the overflowing spirit energies allowed Hannya to manifest itself once again. It took the form of Bishamon, as the armor had become accustomed to that form, but before it could begin another massacre, the real Bishamon sealed it away.

He has an alternate form in Darkstalkers 3 called "Oboro Bishamon", which is what would have happened if Bishamon had mastered controlling the cursed armor, and fights you as a Secret Final Boss if you get enough super finishes and perfects.

Tropes associated with Bishamon:


Anakaris

Class: Mummy
Origin: Egypt
Voiced by: Kan Tokumaru (games) Scott McNeil (Western cartoon)

The former ruler of an Egyptian empire. Foreseeing his death, he orders his servants to build a pyramid that will resurrect himself. One year later after the pyramid was completed, the empire was invaded and Anakaris was killed in battle. His body was placed in the pyramid's chamber of revival as instructed.

Thousands of years later, Pyron's visit awakens Anakaris from his long slumber. He fights Pyron to restore his powers and using time-travel he goes back to his time, one year after his death, to resurrect himself and beat back the invaders. He succeeds and conquers them.

Some time later, he hears a voice from the future. Deciding to check it out, he travels there and enters Jedah's Majigen, where he learns that the destruction of his empire is unavoidable. He travels back, and the empire is erased from history, when in reality Anakaris transfers his entire empire into another dimension located somewhere under the Earth, to avoid wars above ground.

Tropes associated with Anakaris:

"This is the worst strategy I've seen! Go buy an official book!"


Lord Raptor/Zabel Zarock

Class: Zombie
Origin: Australia
Voiced by: Yuji Ueda (games), Koichi Yamadera (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese), Scott McNeil (Western cartoon and Night Warriors OVA)

During his life, Raptor was a successful, if niche, rock star who captivated his audience with his enigmatic voice. Under the curtains, he was a cultist who incorporated the cultic text into his songs, which influenced the audience. During his final live "Sacrifice" he took his own life and the lives of 100 fans. This caught Ozom's attention, who resurrected Raptor as his servant, but Raptor planned to overthrow Ozom when he got powerful enough. Ozom himself knows this and have sent LeMarta to keep an eye on him.

When he returns from another errand, Raptor discovers that Ozom's castle has disappeared (see Jedah's section below) and he was sucked into Majigen shortly after.

He has a thing for Hsien-Ko while Le Malta has a thing for B.B. Hood.

Tropes associated with Lord Raptor/Zabel Zarock:

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Rare male example—in Hsien-Ko's eyes, at least. In this concern, he would rather think of himself as a Kavorka Man.
  • Alliterative Name: His name in the Japanese consoles, as you can see above.
  • Assist Character: La Malta, during Hell Dunk and Dark Force.
  • Ax Crazy
  • Be the Ball: Happens to the opponent during Zabel's Hell Dunk EX move. Le Malta, ever the faithful Swiss Army Knife-esque companion, serves as the basketball hoop.
  • Chainsaw Good: Many of his attacks involve him transforming parts of his body into chainsaw blades. During his "Ultimate Undead" Dark Force, Le Malta turns into a chainsaw which Zabel wields in a more conventional fashion.
  • Dub Name Change: Zabel Zarock in Japan, Lord Raptor everywhere else.
  • Evil Diva: Another rare male example.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He is a dangerously homicidal living dead, but that doesn't stop him from being one of the most hilarious characters in fighting game history.

Lord Raptor: What? Go to hell!? I just came from there!

  • Fingerless Gloves
  • I Was Quite a Looker: Really. Some winposes and artwork show his "living days" appearance, which is far more flattering than that of his current form.
  • Land Down Under: His homeland.
  • Laughing Mad: Most notably in Vampire Savior, when he does the Pursuit move or Death Hurricane in EX status.
  • The Mirror Shows Your True Self: For a brief moment in the OVA.
  • Musical Assassin: Especially in backstory, where he stole the souls of a hundred members of his audience during a concert.
  • Not Quite Flight: From Vampire Hunter/Night Warriors onwards, he has a similar ability to Hsien-Ko.
  • Older Than They Look: Word of God states his birthdate is 1889; however, the heavy metal genre would only appear in the beginning of the 70's, and given he was a heavy metal rocker during his life, this throws a complete contradiction in his backstory.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Despite being in the first episode for all of ten minutes, Raptor's appearance was one of the highlights of the OVA.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: A mix of Type V and Type R.
  • Phlebotinum Overload: His Vampire Savior ending is a humorous take on this.
  • The Power of Rock: Le Malta takes the form of a large amplifier during one of Zabel's Guard Cancel moves.
  • Rock Me, Asmodeus
  • Shout-Out: In his Dark Force special, Raptor fuses LeMarta with his right hand and turns it into a chainsaw, looking just like Ash.
    • The short jingle played upon the activation of his Dark Force sounds suspiciously like the intro to Michael Jackson's Bad.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": Some sources, even at this very wiki, refer to him as "Lord Rapter".
    • Le Malta gets this too, as he's sometimes referred to as Le Marta or La Malta. Sources also flip flop between whether or not there's a space in his name (Le Malta vs. LeMalta).
  • The Starscream: His ending in the first game states that he is just waiting the best opportunity to back-stab Ozom and take over his place. Most prominently in the American cartoon, where he occasionally tries to double-cross Pyron.
  • This Is a Drill: His move (well, duh) Death Drill.
  • Zombie Gait


Victor von Gerdenheim

Class: Golem (based on Frankenstein's monster)
Origin: Germany
Voiced by: Kan Tokumaru (games)

He is a creation of a professor of the same name, who died some time after Victor's birth. Victor, not understanding the concept of death, thought that the professor was ignoring him, and decided that the best way for the professor to accept him was to become the strongest in the world. That failed, but that didn't matter since he had met his "older" sister, the prototype Emily. Emily wasn't supposed to be functioning due to her time-limited power problems, but Victor's self-generating electricity leaked enough power for her to be constantly activated. Afterward, they lived in peace for a time...

... until Emily suddenly stopped functioning from the strain of living for a longer amount of time than she was supposed to. When the Majigen appears, Victor decides that in order to bring her to life, he must gather the wandering souls and inject their spiritual energies into Emily. In his ending, he succeeds, but dies as his own soul was the last one that had to be implemented.

Tropes associated with Victor von Gerdenheim:

"Don't make me mad. You wouldn't like me if I get mad!"


Rikuo/Aulbath

Class: Merman
Origin: Brazil
Voiced by: Yuji Ueda (games), Scott McNeil (Western cartoon)

Rikuo was the ruler of a peaceful kingdom of merfolk, but the arrival of Pyron caused the underwater earthquakes and volcanoes that destroyed the kingdom. Believing that he was the last of his kind, he sets out for revenge until he meets a mermaid named Aqueria. Overjoyed, he marries her and sets aside his goal of revenge to start a new kingdom.

Encouraged and believing that there are other survivors, he starts searching for them. This results in spending less time with his family. One day, one of his sons, Ricky/Alba, vanishes. He curses himself and contemplates how he could protect his own kingdom if he cannot protect his family. Believing that his son disappeared into the Majigen, he starts his search there. He eventually finds his son playing with another mermaid, and thus Rikuo's new kingdom began.

Tropes associated with Aulbath/Rikuo:


Sasquatch

Class: Bigfoot
Origin: Canada
Voiced by: Kan Tokumaru (games)

Sasquatch is the most noble of his tribe. When Pyron comes down, Sasquatch's community starts to be constantly attacked by other Darkstalkers, making Sasquatch go on a journey to defend his fellow bigfeet from their enemies. After he defeats Pyron, he convinces his tribe to realize an invasion against the human civilization. However, the plan is aborted when they learn that humans have bananas in their food supplies. A friendly alliance was then formed between Sasquatch's tribe and the humans.

After returning from one journey to human civilization, Sasquatch finds a huge hole where his village is supposed to be. Believing that his friends were captured and taken to Makai, he goes into Majigen to rescue them. When he finds them, he discovers that his friends... willingly allowed themselves to be captured in exchange for a lot of bananas.

Tropes associated with Sasquatch:

"You know what they say about big feet, right?"

  • Hurricane Kick: His move Big Cyclone in Night Warriors.
  • Instant Bandages: On his chin, when hit by a knockdown blow.
  • The Juggernaut: The variant of his Dark Force gives him a super armor effect temporarily, so that he can take any hits without being stunned.
  • Killer Rabbit: The aforementioned penguins.
  • Kill It with Ice
  • Lightning Bruiser: He can really move for someone so big.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted. He is actually a good guy, as long as you don't piss him off.
  • Sasquatch
  • Snowlems: One of his victory poses shows him being cheered up by a group of small snowmen. He is also turned into one when hit by Anakaris' Pharaoh Curse.
  • Stout Strength: He's almost completely round, but packs a serious punch.
  • Take Over the World: According to his ending in the first game, this is what he and his tribe planned to do after he defeated Pyron. The Freudian Excuse for this was that his people suffered attack from humans a long time, but fortunately the whole thing was settled down when they realized they could have a peaceful co-existence with humans as long the humans provided bananas for them.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Take a wild guess...


Huitzil/Phobos

Class: Robot
Origin: Mexico
Voiced by: Jurota Kosugi (games), Ward Perry (Night Warriors OVA, English)

Huitzil is one of many robots created by Pyron. Their main mission was to destroy all life forms on Earth, and so they killed all of the dinosaurs and went into hibernation. They were later found by the Mayans and were used by them. Shortly before Pyron came down, one Huitzil model was assigned the task of evaluating the situation on Earth, and in his ending the verdict is to cleanse Earth of any non-aboriginal human.

In Majigen, Huitzil was sucked in along with a child named Cecil, and a bug in its programming made it protect Cecil, but since everything in Majigen is potentially dangerous to Cecil it results in, to quote Hardcore Gaming 101: "basically going on a killing spree across Majigen while taking Cecil for the ride".

Tropes associated with Huitzil/Phobos:

  • Assist Character: In Vampire Savior 2, one of his specials consists of other three Huitzil units coming down to assist him with Beam Spam moves.
  • A Boy and His X: A boy and his ancient weapon of mass destruction.
  • Bamboo Technology: Although discovered by the Mayans and later sealed within Teotihuacan, it turns out that Huitzil and his kind were created by Pyron 65 million years ago.
  • Beam Spam: As the only character with a laser move as a normal special, you're going to run into this quite a bit.
  • Do-Anything Robot
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: One of his attacks involve driving a nail into his opponents...coming from in between its legs.
  • The Dragon: To Pyron.
  • Dub Name Change: Phobos in Japan, Huitzil everywhere else.
  • Freeze Ray
  • Friend to All Living Things: At least to birds, squirrels, and descendants of Mayans...
  • Hard Light
  • Heel Face Turn: By the time of the third game, thanks to Cecil's influence. The OVA presents a better case, as Huitzil's sibling robots valiantly fight a losing struggle against Pyron to save mankind.
  • Lightning Bruiser
  • Mecha-Mooks: Inverted in both the games and the OVA. In the former, Huitzil's final act is to activate the remainder of his brethren to protect Cecil. The pack of Huitzils in the OVA band together to stop Pyron, as they see the value in humanity's existance. Unfortunately, they're unable to defeat Pyron.
  • Mini Boss: In the first two games.
  • More Dakka: Hoo boy...
  • Morality Pet: Cecil.
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Huitzil, short for Huitzilopochtli ("Left-Handed Hummingbird"), was an Aztec warrior god known for killing most of his 400 siblings. Various human sacrifices were offered to his temple. Phobos, a figure from Greek mythology, was the son of Ares (God of War) and Aphrodite (Goddess of Love), as well as the personification of fear itself. He usually accompanied dear ol' dad onto the battlefield.
  • Not Quite Flight: From Vampire Hunter/Night Warriors onwards, he has a similar ability to Hsien-Ko.
  • One-Man Band: Does this during one of his winposes. Apparently he's full of musical instruments as well as weapons.
  • Shapeshifter Weapon: Drills, wrecking balls, buzz saws, claws, gatling guns, missile launchers... you name it, he can turn a body part into it.
  • This Is a Drill: Many of his attacks involve drills, including his crouching light punch in every game, his crouching medium punch, crouching hard punch, and close-range standing medium kick in the first two games, and his pursuit attack in the third game.


Pyron

Class: Alien
Origin: Planet Hellstorm
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (games), Shinji Ogawa (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese), David Kaye (Night Warriors OVA, English)

Coming from the planet Hellstorm, Pyron lived for millions of years and evolved into a cosmic being. He decides to consume planets/collect them as jewelry. He came to Earth during the time of the dinosaurs and created the Huitzil army to kill them. Why he didn't take Earth back then is not known, but 1 million years later he comes back to Earth, only to be defeated and consumed by Demitri.

Tropes associated with Pyron:

Donovan Baine

Class: Dhampyr
Origin: Unknown
Donovan voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Vampire Hunter), Jurota Kosugi (Vampire Hunter 2), Gary Chalk (Western cartoon), Unsho Ishizuka (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese)
Anita voiced by: Akiko Yajima (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese)

Donovan and his mother were outcast in the village they lived due to his cursed blood. One day something triggered his vampire form and he lost control of himself killing many people including his mother. Stricken with grief and cursing his heritage, he goes into exile and devotes himself to Buddhism, but fails to achieve peace. During his travels, he makes a name for himself as a Vampire Hunter. He later meets Anita, an emotionless girl, and trying to restore her humanity, he slices the head of Anita's doll off. This awakened Anita's anger, and his plan succeeded. Taking her with him, he sets out to emotionally awaken her. Ironically, this is eventually achieved by him losing to his dark side, which prompted her to shed genuine tears. It's still unclear if he truly lost to his dark side or if he is fighting back.

That dark side is later represented as another, possibly non-canon character called Dee, who is basically just Donovan's head on Demitri's body with a combination of his and Demitri's moves. In his ending, he encounters a teenaged Anita, but the outcome of the encounter is not shown.

Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei

Class: Jiang-Shi
Origin: China
Hsien-Ko voiced by: Michiko Neya (games), Yuko Miyamura (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese), Nicole Oliver (Night Warriors OVA, English), Saori Hayami (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Japanese), Hunter MacKenzie Austin (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, English)
Mei-Ling voiced by: Maya Okamoto (Vampire Hunter OVA, Japanese)

The twins Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling (Lin-Lin in Japan) were born to a family of Senjutsushi spiritualists. One day their family was attacked and the twins' mother, in order to save them, banished the monsters by sacrificing herself, sealing her soul in the darkness. The twins wanted to save their mother's soul, and in order to do that they performed a magic spell that turned Hsien-Ko into a Kyong-Shi, and turned Mei-Ling into the sealing ward that prevents Hsien-Ko from going berserk, taking the form of a seal. They set out to hunt monsters and in general doing good deeds (to earn enough brownie points for their mother--Hardcore Gaming 101).

After releasing their mother's soul from darkness, they were reincarnated as normal girls. During their 16th birthday, their powers from their past life activated, gaining Jedah's attention and sucking them into Majigen. Their souls took the forms of their former bodies, and they fight for their survival with their new-found powers (they don't have memories from their past-life). In the end they returned to their normal lives.

Tropes associated with Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei:


Introduced in Darkstalkers 3: Jedah's Damnation/Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire

Q-Bee

Class: Demonic Insect
Origin: Makai (Hell)
Voiced by: Miyuki Matsushita (games)

Q-Bee is a leader of the Soul Bee race that, obviously, feasts on souls in order to live. They live within the Dohma territories, but after Jedah's death, the lands began to die off. Souls became sparse, and the Soul Bees faced the danger of extinction. But then Jedah came back and used his Castle and nearby lands to create the Majigen, where many souls were gathered. Q-Bee, seeing one giant Soul Feast in Majigen, goes with her people to feed.

In her ending, the soul bee's numbers skyrocket, leading to them taking over the Makai, but it's suggested that their overpopulation may ironically result in their own extinction.

Tropes associated with Q-Bee:


Baby Bonnie Hood/Bulleta

Class: Human Darkhunter
Origin: Northern Europe
Voiced by: Miyuki Matsushita (games)

There are many monsters who came from Makai to the Human world, and in the Human world there are those who want these creatures dead or captured for their own purposes. The Hunters Guild was established to meet the demand of this clients. Among those Dark Hunters, there is B.B. Hood, a Special S Class hunter, a human with such darkness in her heart that even lower level Makai monsters shake in fear from meeting her gaze. This gained Jedah's interest and she was sucked into Majigen, where a normal human would die instantly, but her reaction: "It's been a long time since I had a job this big."

Her dog's name is Harry, which funnily enough was the name of the main character of the American cartoon adaptation.

Tropes associated with B.B. Hood/Bulleta:

B.B.Hood: "Dok, dok, dokka, dok, do-kaaan!!"--("dokkan" is a Japanese sound effect word or gion-go, roughly translated--"ka-boom!!")

"What a big mouth you have!"


Lilith Aensland

Class: Succubus
Origin: Sealed Dimension
Voiced by: Hiroko Konishi (games), Yuka Imai (Namco X Capcom and Cross Edge), Stephanie Sheh (Cross Edge, English)

Roughly ten years after 1/3 of Morrigan's soul was sealed in an isolated space, it became self-aware. For the next 300 years its awareness and feelings grew, and eventually, so did its instinct to return home. When Jedah created the Majigen, it also drew in this soul. When Jedah noticed it, he struck a deal with it: the soul would gain a physical form and in return it must lure Morrigan and the other Darkstalkers to him. And thus Lilith was born, the childish, cheerful, flat chested version of Morrigan, who goes to find her "sister".

After meeting Morrigan, she becomes a part of her sister.

As she (for the most part) physically resembles Morrigan (being her "sister" and all), several of the tropes found in Morrigan's entry apply to Lilith as well.

Tropes associated with Lilith:


Jedah Dohma

Class: Demon Lord/Ressurected as Dark Messiah
Origin: Makai (Hell)
Voiced by: Isshin Chiba (games), Travis Willingham (Cross Edge, English)

The Vampire Savior, The Distressed Lord of Death. The youngest of the three high nobles, Jedah was the one most concerned about the future of Makai. Believing that under the rule of Belial it would be stagnant, Jedah sought every chance he could that would help in overthrowing Belial. Ozom, his adviser, suggested to absorb the leaking energy of the Gate, a distortion that connects Makai with the human world. While Jedah was absorbing the leaked energy, Ozom discovered that if he opened the gate further, it would leak so much energy that it would overload Jedah and kill him. So he decided to overthrow him right then and there, and just like he predicted Jedah couldn't handle it. Ozom then collected what was left of Jedah's power and proclaimed himself Emperor of Makai.

100 years later, Jedah managed to revive himself. Seeing the state of Makai at the peak of a power struggle, he decided that in order to save it he must cleanse all the souls in Makai, and for this he created the Majigen (using Ozom and the his Castle—formerly Jedah's--as a foundation), the pocket dimension where the strongest of souls will gather.
