Here is something I've been wondering about lately -

During the events of the castle siege, (aside from Alucard) there is no sign whatsoever of a present-day Belmont, nor mention of one in all the historic texts that were found afterwards.

What do you suppose could have happened to this unnamed-Belmont and under what circumstances led the Brotherhood to champion the Golden Paladin as their hero to lead a 500,000 strong army against Dracula and his castle and not a member of the Belmont clan?

Did the high ranking members of the Order really have full confidence that the Paladin would stand a chance, especially knowing that the prophecy surrounding Dracula clearly stated "only a member of Gabriel's bloodline could ever defeat Dracula"?

All we can really do is speculate, but I'm interested to hear what your take on those events would have been if *you* were the writer of the series.
