Background

Elizabeth Bartley is a character and boss featured in Castlevania: Bloodlines. She is portrayed as the vampiric niece of Count Dracula and serves as one of the game's primary antagonists.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Elizabeth Bartley’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Early Life
Elizabeth was born in 1560 in Transylvania, Hungary, to the Bartley family, who had deep ties to the region and a rumored connection to the Tepes lineage. As a child, she was forcibly betrothed to Nadazy Ferentz, marrying him at the age of 15 in 1575. They settled in Cheyte Castle, located in Nietots, Hungary. However, Nadazy's frequent absences from the castle left Elizabeth frustrated. During this time, she began studying magic under the guidance of the sorceress Drolta Tzuentes and torturing servants in the castle’s basement.

In her quest to maintain her youthful appearance, Elizabeth turned to a gruesome practice: murdering young virgins to use their blood. Even after Nadazy’s death in 1600, when Elizabeth was 40, her violent obsession continued, resulting in the deaths of thousands.

Rumors of her horrific acts eventually reached the Hungarian king in 1610, prompting him to order Count George Turzo to investigate. Upon discovering the bodies of countless victims, Elizabeth was confined to a sealed room within her castle, with only small openings for air and food. She remained there for four years, and her ultimate fate remains uncertain.

Events of Castlevania: Bloodlines
In the early 20th century, Elizabeth was revived from a 300-year slumber by Drolta Tzuentes, who had somehow escaped execution. Awakened at the ruins of Castle Dracula, Elizabeth sought vengeance against the Austrian imperial family, blaming them for her past imprisonment. She orchestrated the assassination of the Austrian prince, using the chaos of the ensuing war to her advantage. Her ultimate goal was to harness the souls of the countless war dead to resurrect her uncle, Count Dracula, whose restless spirit lingered after his defeat by Quincy Morris.

In 1917, Elizabeth turned Lucy Seward, Eric Lecarde’s fiancée, into a vampire, though her reasons for doing so remain unclear.

As part of her plan to revive Dracula, Elizabeth set out for Castle Proserpina in Whitby, England, where his spirit awaited. However, her progress was thwarted by Eric Lecarde, determined to avenge his fiancée, and John Morris, Quincy’s son. The duo pursued her across Europe, ultimately confronting her at the castle before she could complete the resurrection ritual. Elizabeth was defeated, and her plans were brought to an end.

    Notable Techniques


    • Blood Draining: Vampires can bite and drink the blood of their victims. Blood acts as a source of energy and life for vampires and creatures of the night, an example of this being Red Skeletons who endlessly[245] regenerate[246], from any kind[247] of damage due to it absorbing blood[248].
    • Transformation: Vampires are able to turn into bats, wolves, fog, and other sorts of creatures as they please.
    • Super Strength: Vampires are incredibly superhumanly strong, even for the average creature of the night, being noted to be stronger than even Werewolves.
    • Super Speed: Vampires can move incredibly fast, to where all of them leave behind light projections due to how fast they're moving, while they can control their speeds even to approach speeds such as sound. They are normally beyond even other creatures in the castle such as the White Demon who moves at the speed of light at top speed.

    Medusa Transformation

    Elizabeth Bartley assumes the form of the gorgon Medusa, a monstrous transformation that grants her devastating offensive abilities.

    • Fireball Barrage: Medusa spews two fireballs that undulate across the screen in high and low arcs, creating a deadly pattern for enemies to navigate.
    • Flame Stream: Breathes a vertical stream of fire that ascends before descending near the ground, scorching everything in its path.
    • Tail Whip: Lashes her serpentine tail across the floor in a whip-like motion, striking with immense force.
    • Claw Swipe: Performs short lunges while swiping with her claws to attack enemies in close range.

    Elemental Orb Summoning

    Once Medusa is defeated, Elizabeth reverts to her vampiric form and takes a more magical approach to combat.

    • Orb Summon: Conjures multiple elemental orbs that circle her, each representing an attack type: magic, fire, lightning, or physical damage.
    • Elemental Assault: Commands an orb to transform into an elemental attack, such as a magic blast, fire burst, lightning strike, or a high-speed dagger.
    • Teleportation: Continuously teleports across the chamber to evade attacks and reposition herself for counterattacks.

    Other

    Standard Tactics

    • Elizabeth Bartley reveals herself in an ornate chamber, flanked by statues and a coffin, but quickly transforms into the monstrous gorgon Medusa.
    • Medusa launches two fireballs that travel in undulating patterns—one high and one low—forcing precise positioning to avoid them.
    • She exhales a column of flames that rises and then descends near the ground, requiring crouching to evade the attack.
    • Her tail strikes the floor with a whip-like motion.
    • Between her main attacks, Medusa advances gradually, lunging forward and slashing with her claws.
    • Elizabeth summons elemental orbs that orbit her while teleporting to distant points in the room. Each orb represents an element and transforms into an attack, such as fire, lightning, magic, or a swift dagger symbolizing physical damage.
    • Striking Elizabeth forces her to teleport, removes one orb, and once all are removed she'll finally take damage.
    • Once all the orbs are destroyed, she conjures a new set and continues her assault.

    Weaknesses

    • Unique Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

    Note

    Trivia

    Erzsébet Báthory
    • Countess Erzsébet Báthory was an infamous serial killer –one of the most prolific female ones in history– who's thought to have killed up to 650 victims over her life, all young women. This, along with myths about her bathing in their blood to keep herself youthful, has led to her commonly being associated with vampires. In addition, the Countess was distantly related to the historic Vlad III Drăculea, but, contrary to the game's background, she was his cousin rather than his niece.
      • Bartley's Japanese name, Erizabēto Bātorī (エリザベート･バートリー), is an antiquated way to render Erzsébet Báthory's name and was probably intended as a direct reference to the historical figure. The Japanese version also places Elizabeth's death in 1614, further reinforcing the connection, as this was the year of Erzsébet's death.
      • According to an internal document shared by Konami's Chicago offices to Electronic Gaming Monthly as part of the prerelease of Castlevania: Bloodlines, the idea of Bartley being Báthory is brought up, giving her backstory up to her execution in 1614, including her marriage to Ferenc II Nádasdy and occupation of Čachtice Castle. Her executioner is stated to be György Thurzó in the document, while her relationship with Drolta is reversed, with the sorceress instead being the one who inspired Elizabeth to "torture her servants in the basement".
    • The game states that Elizabeth had assassinated the Crown Prince of Austria to trigger the events of World War I. In reality, the crown prince, Rudolf, took his own life in 1889. It was his cousin, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination in 1914 led to the war.
    • In the fight against her, it is argued whether she either transforms into or summons Medusa, and is referred to as "Medusa" in the end credits of the American localization. However, it is more then likely she transforms into Medusa. The in-game animation showcases it as a form she takes, as the sprites are simply swapped out. Supporting the idea that Medusa is indeed Elizabeth under that form, is that when playing on Easy mode Elizabeth dies right after killing Medusa, as Medusa was her all along, and when killed and losing her powers, she is forced to return to her humanoid form while dying.
    Báthory family's coat of arms.
    Medusa
    • The color and uniquely dragon-like form of Medusa might be a reference to the historical Báthory's coat of arms, which featured a long, light-green dragon with a prominent claws (or fangs) motif and a long whip-like tail coiled numerous times along it, very similar to how Medusa has hers in the game.
    • Elizabeth Bartley was a planned character for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night but was scrapped[270].
    • The lead female antagonist in the canceled game Castlevania: Resurrection, known as The Countess, may in fact be Countess Elizabeth Bartley; however, she was portrayed as Dracula's lover rather than his niece in that game, so this link is uncertain and unlikely.
    • Bartley's actions were indirectly responsible for the events of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (which is the direct sequel of Castlevania: Bloodlines), as her triggering World War I led to the deaths of Brauner's daughters and ultimately to his turning to villainy, and which in turn led directly to Eric Lecarde's death at the hands of Brauner and his own vampirized daughters, Stella and Loretta.
    • In Castlevania Judgment, the bathing in blood element of her backstory is given to that game's version of Carmilla. They are separate characters, though. Eric's ending mentions "Dracula's niece" (Elizabeth Bartley), not Carmilla (who has no known blood ties to Dracula).
    • Her name resembles that of her uncle Dracula's (Mathias Cronqvist) first wife, Elisabetha. However, it's unknown if there is any relation between both. More so, because other than Elizabeth's family relationship to Dracula and her date of death, no other details are given.
      • The original Japanese version of Castlevania: Bloodlines states that she died in 1614 (the English version sets her death in 1421) and it's heavily implied that she was already a vampire by then, the Castlevania: Bloodlines EGM fax also notes that she was born in 1560[271].
      • It must be noted, though, that Castlevania: Lament of Innocence was released several years after Bloodlines, and the choosing of name for Mathias's wife could have been either deliberate or merely coincidental, the latter without any intention of implying a reference between both characters.

    Codex Statistics Questions

    Q: Shouldn't the characters be around Tier 2 for defeating the Time Reaper who would've destroyed the very fabric of time[272], attempted to destroy the specific era of time[273], cause all beings everywhere to disappear, forever[274] and that the age was on the verge of collapse[275]?

    A: We actually never get a direct outright method of Time Reaper's plan for doing this, from what Aeon mentions to Golem, if the Time Rift is not erased, all beings everywhere will disappear, forever[276], implying that it's the Time Rift causing this, this is further backed up by the fact that in Time Reaper's boss fight, there is a vortex in the background consuming everything[277], meaning this is an overtime feat that scales to no one physically.

    Q: Shouldn't they get tier 2 for Dracula's influence destabilizing the flow of time[278]?

    A: This is a potent ability but has nothing to do with Attack Potency, there is no quantification for "destabilizing the flow of time", along with this, even if it was taken as physically, then it would be overtime as the effects are not noticeable throughout most of Curse of Darkness. Thus this is merely potent Time Manipulation.

    Q: Shouldn't Dracula and by proxy anyone that scales to him get tier 2 for him being able to sustain his castle?

    A: This goes under our Stabilization Feats standards, which treats sustaining feats are non-combat applicable Attack Potency normally, though in Dracula's case the Castle is speficially powered by the existence of a Dark Lord, and doesn't necessarily need their strength to rise. In the Castlevania novel, the castle rose without a Dark Lord as an example. Along with this, no one scales to the collapse of the castle, in Curse of Darkness Hector would've died to the collapse of the castle if[279] Julia didn't come save him, and Isaac died within the castle[280]. In other cases the Castle does not collapse[281], but instead slowly fades away[282]. At the end of Dawn of Sorrow Soma Cruz and Genya Arikado (aka Alucard) must escape the collapsing abyss.

    Q: Shouldn't Castlevania characters that scale to Death have Infinite speed due to Death being able to kill distance itself with his attacks?

    A: Killing distance to attack is not a speed feat, it's a method of Spatial Manipulation by circumventing and ignoring distance, while one can say the attack spawns on you instantly, this is not really something quantifiable. Along with this, it would only scale to characters comparable to Death during post-Dawn of Sorrow, as Soma notes Death is far faster than he remembered from his fight with him in Dawn of Sorrow[283].

      KI: You should ask, why do they eat it! I've thought about this stuff.
      I've actually thought about the candles. The candles are people's souls that were taken by Death or by the vampires. In Japan there are candles that represent life. So, when you release the souls from the candles by whipping them, they give you a "thank you" present. Thank-you hearts, or thank-you holy water.
      The meat, I have no idea.

      There was definitely no room for doubt. It is certain that the [castle] exists at the back of the mountains. The church’s greatest vampire hunter, Julius Belmont must be contacted. However, the conversation jumped into the matter of the disappearance of several village children."
    189. ↑ Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "A drawbridge suspended from the main gate is seemingly welcoming Michelle’s arrival.
      And her body was telling her [do not go] as her leg muscles were petrified like stone."

      That really is no doubt an obsession.
      The youth had more than 28 holes penetrating his limbs and body. His heart is already starting to fail and he is desperately trying to say something amidst the darkness.
      “Only…… protect…… you……-----“
      When he said those words he must say, the man’s soul already left his body-----becoming one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle.
      However-----
      Fate did not allow it.
      For those people who are involved with the demon castle, even the loneliness of death seemed half hearted-----
      The man’s soul is pierced by a small scythe that flew in from somewhere. That scythe did not exist physically. It was a diabolic blade created by some magic and possessed a strong soul."
