Belmont Family

The Belmont family (sometimes translated as Belmondo or Belmond) is the bloodline sworn to oppose Count Dracula in the Castlevania series. They are not, however, the only main protagonists seen throughout the franchise, but typically play an integral role in most game's storyline. The Belmont surname was lost to some characters due to the European patrilineal naming tradition. If not Belmonts in name, they were certainly Belmonts by blood and conviction, and are accordingly considered part of the Belmont clan. The name later changed back to Belmont sometime in the 20th century.
