Eric Lecarde

Eric Lecarde (ja. エリック･リカード Eric Ricardo) is a character in the Castlevania series. He made an appearance in a single Castlevania game, Castlevania: Bloodlines. He is one of two playable characters in the game, with the other being John Morris.

Character history
In 1897, Quincy Morris, a descendant of the Belmont clan, defeated Count Dracula but shortly died afterwards. After Eric Lecarde along with his good friend John Morris, Quincy's son, both witnessed this epic showdown, they decided to rid the world of evil just as Quincy had. Sometime later, Eric's love interest, Gwendolyn, was transformed into a vampire by a resurrected countess named Elizabeth Bartley. The Countess is also the niece of Count Dracula.

Twenty years later, bent on vengeance, Eric travels through various parts of Europe to destroy Countess Bartley and stop her from resurrecting her uncle, Dracula. Armed with his trusty lance, the Alcarde Spear, he not only defeats Bartley, he also destroys her uncle after being successfully revived.

During World War II, as will be shown in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, John Morris's son, Jonathan, will himself enter the Castle to put a stop to a possible resurrection of Dracula. Eric is expected to appear at some point in the game.

Trivia

 * Eric's love interest, Gwendolyn, originally had no name in the Japanese manual of Bloodlines.
