The Visitor (来訪者, Raihō-sha^?) is a minor antagonist introduced in Season 3 of the Castlevania animated series. It is a night creature that attacked the village of Lindenfeld and whose goal was to bring Dracula back from Hell.

History

The Visitor attacked the village of Lindenfeld one night, along with other creatures. Finding itself cornered by a troop of soldiers led by the Judge, it fled and hid inside the town's priory, where it corrupted Sala and the rest of the monks.

The Visitor was then crucified by the monks as part of a dark ritual to open the Infinite Corridor and bring Dracula back from the dead. They used its blood and alchemy symbols to sacrifice the souls of the villagers of Lindenfeld so the Visitor could open the portal.

The Visitor was freed when the portal was finally opened, but it was ultimately destroyed by the combined efforts of Saint Germain and Trevor Belmont.

Trivia

• One of the Visitor's most characteristic features are its many vertically-oriented eyes, which share a similarity to the magical eyes that appear on the foreheads of people enslaved by the Magician. However, it is unclear if there is any connection between both; more so, because Lindenfeld –where the Visitor appeared– and the town where the Magician attacked are implied to be very distant from each other.
• In What the Night Brings (Season 3, Episode 8), Sala confirmed that the Visitor was forged by Isaac. It was later revealed that the Visitor was acting out of Isaac's subconscious will to bring Dracula back from Hell; it wasn't a direct order, but a reaction to Isaac's trauma.
  • Despite having light green glowing eyes and not the usual red glowing eyes that are indicative of Isaac's forging, the Visitor's pupils are red, and also a slight red tint can be seen around them (for lack of irises). This is more noticeable on the lower/main eyes on his face.
