The Pope

The Pope was the head of The Church. The differences between the Catholic Church and Greek Orthodox Church have been blurred in Castlevania mythos. It is possible that the Pope was also the head of the Orthodox Church in Castlevania lore or that there is a separate "Pope" for the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. The Pope during the time Dracula's war on humanity tried to deal with the Count. He first sent a large army to defeat Dracula, but it was destroyed. He then sent the mystical warrior Sypha Belnades to do the job, but she never came back either and was believed to have died. Finally, he searched far and wide for a member of the Belmont clan, who had fallen out of favor with the church and feared by the people as much as the vampires they hunted were. He found Trevor Belmont, who agreed to the task, and Trevor was able to overcome the threat posed by Dracula with aid of several companions.
