Simon Belmont (Chronicles)

Simon Belmont is the protagonist of Akumajo Dracula for the Sharp X68000 home computer system, later remade as Castlevania Chronicles. He is the successor to the Belmont family bloodline. A hundred years before his time, a legendary hero from this family named Christopher Belmont fought and defeated Dracula. Following Dracula's demise at the hands of Christopher Belmont, the Transylvanian countryside slept peacefully. Then one Easter night, the townspeople were celebrating with a carnival. In the ruins of the old monastery on the edge of town, the followers of darkness were holding a Black Mass. They poured a sacrifice of human blood over Dracula's remains and revived him. Simon, determined to rid the land of evil once again, took the mysterious whip left to him by father and set to Dracula's castle alone. He confronted the Count at the castle's highest floor, defeated him, and sealed him away.
