"Witness the might of the Alucard Spear!"

— Eric Lecarde

Eric Lecarde (エリック・リカード, Erikku Rikādo^?) is a playable character in Castlevania Judgment.

He appears as a young effeminate boy with blond hair in a ponytail dressed in a formal outfit. He is armed with his traditional Alucard Spear. Oddly enough, he is the only character to not have any metal on his outfit whatsoever. His theme is "Iron Blue Intention", from both Castlevania: Bloodlines and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

Not content with his bestowed destiny, Eric's goal during his quest in the time rift is to prove (mostly to himself) that the Alucard Spear can be more than just a supplement to the Vampire Killer whip. To accomplish his goal, Eric challenges Alucard, the spear's original creator, the legendary Trevor Belmont, and even Maria, whose powers are perceived to surpass the whip's power. Through systematic victories over his opponents, Eric becomes confident enough that both the power of the spear and his own skill are a match even for the likes of Dracula.

	Castlevania Judgment / Abbey Ruins / Eric Opening When: First starting the Game Narrator: When the sacred whip known as the Vampire Killer passed to the Morris family, another enchanted weapon -- the Alucard Spear -- was granted to the Belmont relatives of House Lecarde. The spear was designed to help the Lecardes support the Morris clan in their ongoing struggle against Dracula. As the years passed, Eric Lecarde trained diligently with the lance, despite a growing dissatisfaction with his role in this venerable pact. One day he left his home as usual, only to find himself standing in a most unusual place... Video:
Eric Aeon	Castlevania Judgment / Abbey Ruins / Eric Battle 1 When: First meeting with Aeon Aeon: Right on time. Welcome to the time rift. Eric: A time rift? Huh... I see. Aeon: This is where you'll find what you desire. But first, there are many trials you must pass. Eric: What I desire... Then I shall make short work of your tests. Aeon: My name is Aeon. Shall we begin the first trial? Video:
Eric Trevor	Castlevania Judgment / Random / Eric Battle 7 When: Encounter with Trevor Eric: That whip! You must be a Belmont! Trevor: That I am. But you would do well to watch your tone, young man. Eric: You think just because you're older, you're better than me? Trevor: Charming. Seems you could use a little lesson on manners. Eric: Sounds like fun! And I'll teach you that your precious whip isn't half the weapon you take it for! Video:
Eric Maria	Castlevania Judgment / Random / Eric Battle 10 When: Encounter with Maria Maria: Wow! A huge lance! Eric: The power to control animals... Could it be? Maria Renard? Maria: That's me, but... who're you? Eric: I am Eric Lecarde. I can't believe it's really you... Maria: Quit staring at me like that! ...Creep. Eric: Show me the power said to surpass even that of a Belmont! Video:
Eric Aeon	Castlevania Judgment (True Story Mode) / Clock Tower / Eric Battle 11 When: Second meeting with Aeon Aeon: Right on time. You must be the chosen one. Eric: My business here is finished. Kindly show me the way out. Aeon: I'm sorry to inform you we are being held here by a mutual enemy. Eric: And yet you chose to come here. So I bet you know a way out. Aeon: We can now open the door to our final enemy. But we must decide who will fight him. Eric: Then there's no problem. I will go. Aeon: Ah, but there is still one problem. We will have but a single chance to defeat him. Eric: And you don't believe in me yet. Fine, I'll take you on! Aeon: That is my desire. Video:
Eric Time Reaper	Castlevania Judgment (True Story Mode) / Dimensional Rift / Eric Battle 12 When: Encounter with the Time Reaper Time Reaper: I come from ten thousand years hence. Trevor: ...And my spear will send you right back! Video:
	Castlevania Judgment (True Story Mode) / Dimensional Rift / Eric Ending When: After defeating the Time Reaper Narrator: Thus the rift in time was mended, and all were returned to their respective eras. Many years later, Eric's true love would be turned into a vampire by Dracula's niece, Elizabeth Bartley. Rudely awakened to his destiny, Eric joined John Morris to help unleash the power sealed in the mighty Vampire Killer whip. Together, they succeeded in destroying both Countess Bartley and Dracula. But soon that triumph would be tainted when Eric learned of the terrible price that came with the full power of the whip... Video:
