Satan (Lords of Shadow)



Satan is the name of the Devil in Christian religion. He is the Archangel Lucifer who was cast out of Paradise for seeking equality with God.

Main Series
Satan is rarely mentioned, rather Lucifer or the Devil are often mentioned instead.

In Castlevania 64, if the player uses the scroll too often, Renon appears near the end of the game, and admits that the hero has agreed to a contract with Satan. Those who borrow over 30,000 pieces of gold, their soul is forfeit. Because the hero has taken far more than that, he comes to enforce the contract, and take the hero's soul. This leads to a boss fight.

Appearance in Lords of Shadow
Satan is the main antagonist of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

When Zobek searched Hell for a way to assemble the God Mask, Satan endowed him with a vast amount of knowledge and power, and implanted the idea to use an elaborate charade to obtain his goals. Presumably, this is how Zobek obtained the Devil Mask. As such, he is mainly responsible for all Zobek's following actions, especially his manipulation of Gabriel Belmont. When Zobek reveals his true intentions, Satan in turn reveals himself and his part in events. He incinerates Zobek and takes form, and explains to Gabriel his intention of ascending to Heaven to challenge God and take His place. He offers Gabriel a chance to join him, but he refuses. Satan and Gabriel then engage in combat.

Despite his power and badly injuring Gabriel near the end of the fight, he is defeated, and Gabriel maintains a choke hold over Satan. Satan still tries to convince Gabriel that God has betrayed him, and when he ignores him, he begins to taunt Gabriel, saying that he will "introduce Marie to such pleasures" in Hell. Gabriel tells Satan that her soul will go only to God, and Satan begins to laugh. After this, Gabriel kills him, and the spell keeping the lost souls on Earth is broken.

By modern times, the acolytes of Satan prepare for his imminent return. This spurs Zobek to search for Gabriel -now known as Dracul-, so that they may prevent Satan from returning and taking revenge on both of them. Dracul's response to Zobek is currently unknown.
