Mary Oldrey (メアリー Mearī?, Mary) was the wife of J. A. Oldrey and mother of Henry. She lived at the Villa in a countryside close to Dracula's Castle. When the Dark Lord was resurrected, the Villa was overrun by vampires and other evils.

History[]

Cornell first meets Mary from outside a little study adjacent to her bed chambers, where she has locked herself in. There, he encounters J. A. Oldrey, her husband, demanding her to let him in because he "needs a drink", which Mary refuses. Oldrey then realizes Cornell's presence and tries to compose himself, but after a small attempt to dissuade him to leave them alone, telling him they're just having a small domestic problem they're trying to work out, he turns into a vampire upon his very eyes and attacks him instead.

Cornell defeats Oldrey, who turns into a bat and flies away. Mary then allows Cornell inside and explains her situation to him. Although her husband is a vampire, she continues to love him. She's also worried about her son, Henry, who is hiding somewhere in the maze garden, and pleads Cornell to lead him out of the villa, where he can be safe. As a token of her gratitude, Mary gives Cornell the Copper Key and says that as long as Henry is safe, she has no regrets.

The exact fate of Mary is unknown, although she tells Cornell she is "resigned to her fate" and intends to stay with her husband, since she still loves him. It is possible Oldrey turned her into a vampire, or that she committed suicide, as she had explained to Cornell that "rather than become a vampire, [she had] even thought of taking [her] own life". In any event, she does not appear in Reinhardt and Carrie's stories.

Trivia[]

  • Before his final boss fight, Oldrey is found in the crypt below the Villa, feeding on a woman who bears some similarity to Mary (as seen if the player zooms in to the female corpse during the boss battle); however, it is unknown if the two are the same.
