Rohan Krause is the main antagonist in Castlevania: Order of Shadows. He is the leader of the Order, an organization that aims for the resurrection of Count Dracula in their own search of power and immortality.

History

Rohan Krause is the leader of an organization in the 17th century known simply as the Order. He plotted the resurrection of Count Dracula by using a blood sacrifice in his aim to gain power and immortality while serving at his side. He claims to have killed Desmond Belmont's parents, even though he had the Vampire Killer. He's a master of alchemy and was in possession of the Magic Gauntlet, the very same item Rinaldo Gandolfi had given to Leon Belmont centuries ago.

However, the Belmonts and their allies were able to track down the The Order long before they were ready to revive the Dark Lord properly. He's defeated at the hands of Desmond, who stated that he was only seeking the prevention of Dracula's revival, not revenge for what Rohan had done to Desmond's father.

Even though his dreams of becoming one of Dracula's right-hand men during his reign were shattered, his own blood was sufficient to raise his lord, and Desmond had to battle an early risen Dracula shortly afterward.

Boss battle

Rohan is the penultimate boss in Castlevania: Order of Shadows. He fights by using a variety of alchemy attacks which Desmond is also able to use, including the Hellfire, Firestorm, Frostbolt and Lightning. He can also silence Desmond, preventing him from using his own alchemy.

Desmond Rohan	Castlevania: Order of Shadows / The Inner Sanctum / Rohan Battle [edit] Summary: Desmond faces off against Rohan of the Order of Shadows, who recognizes him by his resemblance to his father and by his whip and then confirms that he was the one to take his life. Desmond indicates that he will stop him from resurrecting Dracula and they fight. Full text - [transcript]: Rohan: Nearly 20 years later and I encounter yet another Belmont. You look much like your father. Have you come to seek your little revenge? Whatever your reason for being here, do you think you can stop Lord Dracula's return? Rohan: He cannot be stopped! Desmond: Vengeance is not what compels me, sorry to disappoint you, Rohan. Rohan: Spoken like a true Belmont. I'm pleased that you wield the Vampire Killer. It didn't save your father then. It won't save you now.
Desmond Rohan	Castlevania: Order of Shadows / The Inner Sanctum / Defeating Rohan [edit] Summary: Desmond proves stronger than his father and defeats Rohan. However, he did not succeed in preventing Dracula's return, as Rohan's own blood was sufficient to ensure his return. He tells him to confirm this by going to Castlevania and taunts him on his way to the underworld. Full text - [transcript]: Rohan: You're... much stronger than your father. You may have prevented me from taking my place at Lord Dracula's side, but you have stopped nothing. My blood is sufficient to return the Dark Lord to our world, naive fool. Desmond: You lie, Krause. Rohan: Venture forward to Castlevania and see if I lie. All this is for naught. I will greet your parents in the underworld. It's certain we will see you soon.
