Trevor Belmont

Trevor C. Belmont is a vampire hunter that lived during the 15th century in the video game series, Castlevania.

1476: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Trevor is the main character of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.

Lisa, Dracula's second wife, was condemned to death by the Inquisition (she was convicted as a witch). Dracula's hatred for humanity was profound. Six years later, his war with humanity began.

The people of Wallachia once exiled the Belmonts (out of fear for their supernatural powers), but now they needed their help. They found Trevor Belmont, an inheritor of the Vampire Killer; the Vampire Killer was an enchanted whip, that had the power to destroy all related to the vampires.

During Trevor's journey in Transylvania, he was joined by a group of new friends; they were Grant DaNasty, Sypha Belnades and Alucard. With their help, they defeated the demon army, and Trevor killed Dracula. Because he was the first man to destroy Dracula, the Belmont's reputation was renowned in Wallachia. They were welcome to stay.

Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades fell in love, and had children. The descendants of the Belmont family possessed magical powers of the Belnades clan, as seen by Juste Belmont.

1479: Castlevania: Curse of Darkness


Trevor's role in the new Castlevania game is surprisingly large. He is a playable character, and also a boss. Throughout the game, he has a cautious, friendly rivalry with Hector, the game's protagonist. When they first meet, Trevor distrusts Hector for being a Devil Forgemaster, and a battle ensues. Trevor then defeats Hector and mocks him for being a weak ally of Dracula, then starts to believe Hector's story that he is indeed no longer working for the evil Count. Afterwards, Trevor becomes a cautious ally, working behind the scenes. He isn't seen again until much later in the game, in the Aiolon Ruins, when Hector stumbles upon Isaac and Trevor in the midst of battle. Isaac notices Hector and runs off. Trevor warns Hector not to interfere and takes off. Shortly after, Hector discovers a secret room in the Abandoned Castle. Another battle ensues, and after Trevor concedes, he once more becomes Hector's ally, giving him the key he needs to follow Isaac into the secret chambers beneath the castle: a Belmont's Blood. Later on, Trevor becomes wounded from a cowardly surprise attack from Isaac and comes close to death, but manages to survive. This plot device was most likely used to keep Trevor out of the picture temporarily so Hector would have to face Dracula alone without interference from Dracula's long time enemy, the Belmont clan. Trevor isn't seen from this point on, and most likely went back home to his household assured that Hector can take care of himself and end the curse.

Gameplay
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

Trevor controls like his descendant, Simon Belmont. As his first weapon, Trevor has the Vampire Killer. The Vampire Killer can be upgraded with the whip upgrades. This increases its length, and power. Also, with hearts, Trevor can use the sub-weapons (Dagger, Holy Water, Cross, Axe and the Pocket Watch).

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Once the game has been beaten once, Trevor can be unlocked as secret character by entering the name '@TREVOR' in Castlevania fashion. The game is basically the same except Trevor carries all the classic subweapons with him, and can perform many interesting attacks as well as use the Item Crushes (or 'Item Crashes', a common mistranslation used in other Castlevania games) from previous games, including the "Holy Cross" spell.

Trevor plays like a hybrid between Hector (the main hero in this game) and Leon Belmont from Lament of Innocence. He has all his classic subweapons from Trevor's previous game, but this time he can Item Crush them like the Belmonts can in the previous games. His combos are just like his boss version, but you execute them in a similar fashion that Leon did, but he has a new list of attacks. Unlike his boss fight in Hector's game, his whip doesn't have a green aura. He also collects stat increase items, and his stats boost when he defeats bosses as well, similar to a level up. He can also collect new whips that add new elements and colors. Lastly, there are no story points or cutscenes, but he does have a different ending than Hector.

Trivia

 * In the Captain N: The Game Master cartoon, during the episode "Return To Castlevania", Trevor Belmont is the great-grandfather to Simon Belmont. As with most Captain N stories, this is not consistent with the original series, as Trevor Belmont existed over 200 years before Simon, which would make him more like the great great great grandfather. However, the "great-grandfather" information likely came from the North American instruction manual.
 * In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, he is mentioned several times in the story from the intro, Alucard, and even his own descendant, Richter. Also a doppelganger takes the shape of Trevor Belmont, as well as Grant and Sypha. All three are bosses.
 * In the fight against the three undead doppelgangers of the Cv3 cast, if Alucard kills Trevor before Sypha, she'll continue to resurrect his dead body until she is defeated.
 * What the "C" in Trevor's name stands for is unknown. But some speculate that it stands for "Christopher", a reference to Christopher Belmont from CVA.
 * Trevor's doppelganger from SotN can use the sub-weapons, including the cross, now made out of bone. When thrown, it leaves a trail of blood. This version of the cross is sometimes unofficially referred to as the "Bone Boomerang".
 * Some poeple believe that, in the best ending of Castlevania Legends, Sonia's child is Trevor. Of those, some people believe that Alucard is the father, although nothing in the game specifically says so.
 * In the Japanese Version of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Trevor's name is Ralph.
