J. A. Oldrey

J. A. Oldrey is a non-playable character in Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness for the Nintendo 64.

J.A. Oldrey is described by Mary as having been a good man before he was turned into a vampire by Gilles de Rais and Actrice.Once a vampire, Oldrey began to desire the blood of his wife and son. Cornell first encounters Master Oldrey inside the Villa where Oldrey is pounding on a door telling Mary to open it because he wants a drink. Mary refuses to open the door. At first, it appears to be a domestic issue until Oldrey transforms into his vampire form and attacks Cornell since he is unable to get to Mary. Cornell defeats Oldrey who turns into a bat and vanishes into mist.

Eight years later, Carrie and Reinhardt meet J.A. Oldrey in the villa as well. Once they enter the building Oldrey attacks them and is defeated, vanishing again into mist.

J.A Oldrey is then found at the end of the stage in a crypt, feasting on a woman. He confronts the vampire hunters one last time. Oldrey does not run away this time and is permanently eliminated. Unfortunately, he left Carrie and Reinhardt with another vampire they must take down. Nothing could be done for the young woman he had fed from.
