- For the original timeline clan, see Belmont Clan.
The Belmont Clan is a family of vampire hunters from Castlevania Legends.
History[]
Some time before 1450, Sonia Belmont's father wielded the Vampire Killer and presumably fought vampires with it, and taught young Sonia how to use it. He would inspire her to become a vampire huntress as well and go on to wield it in the future.
Sonia eventually met Alucard and in time both fell in love, presumably conceiving a child from this union. In 1450, Sonia set off to fight against Dracula. Alucard challenged Sonia in order to test who of them was the most cunning warrior, and she ultimately defeated him. The son of Dracula said his farewells to Sonia and went to sleep for all eternity so that his cursed bloodline would be put at bay. Sonia fought against Dracula and destroyed him for the time being.
After her victory against Dracula, Sonia raised her (and presumably Alucard's) young child (this child is heavily implied to be either Trevor Belmont or possibly Simon Belmont). The Belmont bloodline would stay strong and continue to hunt vampires for centuries to come.
216 years later, in 1666, Victor Belmont and his story was intended to take place. Victor was a descendant of this Belmont Clan; however, even as Dracula's return loomed, he remained a drunk and lazy man who refused to live up to his ancestors. This made it so it was necessary for the resurrection of Sonia Belmont, who could do the job for Victor and possibly teach him the ways of the Vampire Killer and defeating Dracula once again.
This would presumably lead to an era of peace for 25 years, until the time came for Simon Belmont to fight the Lord of Vampires, assuming this was in fact intended to be on the same timeline as games such as the original Castlevania for the Nintendo Entertainment System, or follow an alternate timeline like that in Super Castlevania IV. If these games are in fact in the same universe, or a similar one, then the next descendant to brandish the whip would be Richter Belmont, during the 1792 Castlevania titles.
Known members[]
- Sonia Belmont - Sonia Belmont was born in a remote mountain village located in Transylvania. One night, when Sonia was 17 years old, she encountered a young man named Alucard who was looking for his father, who he never met. The two formed a bond together. Unfortunately, tragedy suddenly struck - the mansion where Sonia was raised was attacked by grotesque monsters serving Count Dracula and her grandfather was mortally wounded. Sonia took her grandfather's whip as a memento and set out to Dracula's Castle. She managed to defeat the Count, and not long after this she gave birth to a child, fathered by Alucard.
- Sonia's child - Sonia and Alucard's son. He grew up to be a hero and eventually confronted Dracula as well.
Trivia[]
- If Sonia Belmont is in fact the mother of Trevor Belmont and Alucard is his father, then this would mean that certain events happened at different time periods on the timeline, such a Trevor Belmont's birth and the death of Alucard's mother, Lisa, who is mentioned by him many times throughout the duration of the game.
