Alastor, also known as Vandal Sword or Specter, is an enemy in the Castlevania series. It is a possessed sword driven to seek revenge by the souls of slain warriors.
Origins
Alastor was an epithet of the Greek god Zeus, and described as the avenger of evil deeds, specifically, familial bloodshed, while Nemesis punished those who offended the gods. As the personification of a curse, it was also a sidekick of the Erinyes. The name is also used to designate any deity or demon who avenges wrongs committed by men.
Alastor, in Christian demonology, came to be considered a kind of possessing entity. He was likened to Nemesis. The name Alastor was also used as a generic term for a class of evil spirits.
Description
Alastor is a ghost swordsman who possesses a very large sword. He is a counterpart to the female rapier-wielding Nemesis. He fades in and out of view and swings his massive sword around. Only the sword can be injured.
Alastor is the ghost form of the Sword Lord in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. After destroying the Sword Lord's armor, Alastor is revealed from within and must be destroyed. A massive variation of Alastor which does not possess a suit of armor, called Azaghal, also appears in this game.
In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow, Alastor's soul allows the player to control Alastor as a familiar, which is similar to the Sword Familiar found in Symphony of the Night.
