Character history
In 1591 Solieyu, who recently celebrated his coming of age, went alone to explore four mysterious castles that appeared out of the fog. He was captured by Dracula's minions and bewitched to do the Count's evil bidding. With the youth's help, Dracula was able to take human form once again. Christopher Belmont, his father, ultimately rescued him from the clutches of evil.

Boss battle
In Soleiyu's boss battle, he attacks with a whip and three knives.
