Dmitrii Blinov

Dmitrii Blinov is one of the potential successors to Dracula's power gathered by Celia Fortner, having been born at the moment of Dracula’s death in 1999 and therefore possessing supernatural powers – in his case, the ability to project the same magical powers that have been launched at him back at his opponents. Dmitrii has an arrogant, high-and-mighty personality that shows especially whenever he’s around the brash and violent Dario Bossi, the other Dark Lord candidate that hopes to get Dracula’s powers, which in Dmitrii’s eyes belong to him alone. He will stop at nothing to assume the role of Dracula’s successor, though his real, personal motive revolves around discovering the nature and origins of his unique ability and power.

Soma initially encounters Dmitrii along with Dario and Celia early in Soma’s 2036 quest, and Dmitrii initially seems to be more of a henchman than anything else. However, after Soma defeats him in battle a little later, Dmitrii’s soul is absorbed by Soma’s body and the power of dominance, much to Soma's wonder of absorbing a human soul. The soul provides no abilities and lies dormant within until much later, when Soma experiences his seismic shift of emotions at the sight of Celia slaying a clone of Mina Hakuba. There, Dmitrii’s soul copies the Power of Dominance at the core of Soma’s soul and then exits Soma’s body and reappearing in front of Soma and Celia alive and well. Since Soma defeated Dario earlier, Dmitrii is now the prime candidate for the Dark Lord’s position of power, so he and Celia travel to the castle’s Abyss area where the finale of the game takes place.

At the core of the Abyss, Soma arrives just after Dmitrii has finished sacrificing Celia for even more power. A final battle between Soma and Dimitrii seems inevitable, when Dimitrii suddenly dies: although he copied the Power of Dominance, his power was neither real nor as strong as Soma's, and all the monster souls Dimitrii had collected merged together into one collossal abomination simply called the Menace. Soon Menace was more powerful than Dimitrii, and it exploded out of his body to take shape in the world. Soma had to defeat Menace, or it would wreak untold destruction upon the world. As is traditional among Castlevania final bosses, when the Menace was finally killed, the castle collapsed around it.
