Elizabeth Bartley

Elizabeth Bartley is a vampire from Konami's Castlevania series. She appears as a non-playable character in Castlevania: Bloodlines, which was published on the Sega Genesis in 1994.

In the early 1600s, Bartley was executed for vampirism, but was revived nearly 300 years later by a witch named Drolta Tzuentes. To revive her uncle, Count Dracula, Bartley had the Crown Prince of Austria assassinated, and thus lead Europe into the chaos of World War I. In 1917, the events in Bloodlines, she attempted to stop heroes John Morris and Eric Lecarde from thwarting the resurrection of the Count.

Trivia

 * Bartley's Japanese name is an antiquated way to render Erzsébet Báthory's name, and was probably intended as a direct reference to the historic figure.
 * Countess Báthory is associated with vampire legends, having been accused of killing servant girls and bathing in their blood.
