The Thief is an enemy in the Castlevania series. They tend to steal items from the player when making contact and then try to flee away with them. Oftentimes, killing the thief after they have stolen an item will make them drop it and the player can then retrieve it.
Description[]
In games where the Thief steals sub-weapons, they can be used to the player's advantage. Having no equipped sub-weapon in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood allows Richter Belmont to use his Flame Whip Item Crush, while Juste Belmont in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is only able to use his healing spell fusion, God Bless, when he has a Summoning Tome and no subweapon equipped.
In Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, the Thief tends to steal usable items, while Gi-Lee tends to steal rare items. If the player values their rare items, then it's best to avoid Gi-Lee, unless they want to chase him through the room to get the item back. He's first encountered in the Infinite Corridor, running around waiting for the player to get close; then it reappears after obtaining the Phlogiston. Afterward, he's encountered in the Tower of Eternity and Dracula's Castle. They are easy to avoid, just like their counterparts.
