Shaft
“ | The dark priest called Shaft, come to cleanse the world in the forge of chaos. | „ |
~ Shaft introducing himself to Alucard, in Symphony of the Night |
Background
Shaft is a dark priest and devoted follower of Count Dracula. First appearing in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, he returned in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as the secondary antagonist in both games.
In 1792, Shaft resurrected Count Dracula and helped him abduct young girls, including Maria Renard and Annette, intending to offer Dracula a bride. During Richter Belmont’s quest, he faced Shaft, who summoned monsters that Simon Belmont had once defeated. Shaft was eventually overpowered.
In Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, Shaft’s fate changes based on the protagonist’s choices. If Richter or Maria fails to save Annette, she becomes the boss of Stage 7 in place of Shaft's Ghost, allowing him to survive, aid Dracula, and buy him time to escape. If Annette is rescued, Richter or Maria directly confront and defeat Shaft's Ghost.
Afterward, Shaft’s spirit remains bound in a crystal ball.
In 1797, Shaft abducted and brainwashed Richter Belmont, believing that no one could defeat him, as he was the strongest vampire hunter. Using dark magic, Shaft manipulated Richter to defend Dracula’s Castle, unaware to Maria and Alucard. Maria suspected he was under a spell, prompting her to help Alucard uncover Shaft's manipulation. Alucard ultimately freed Richter from Shaft's control and thwarted the dark priest’s plans. Yet, even as Alucard defeated him in the Reverse Castle, Shaft remained satisfied, knowing he had succeeded in reviving Dracula.

Powers and Techniques
Is a Creature of the Night, which gives:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Even the smallest creatures of the night can destroy a bridge[19], one of Dracula's bats easily destroyed a stone ground block[20]), Intimidation (Creatures of the nights appearances can cause one to have their body's cells cry out in terror[21]), Immortality (Ageless; The biggest hindrance to humans when attempting to accomplish something is their limited lifespans, a limitation that cannot be overcome, however, dwellers of the darkness do not apply to the laws of the human world, ignoring such limitations[22]. Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; Creatures of the Night can continue to exist even as a spirit and use their spirit form to form bodies out of inanimate material around them[23]), Acausality (Causality Immunity; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon[24]. With their souls being completely free from time[25]. The biggest hindrance to humans when attempting to accomplish something is their limited lifespans, a limitation that cannot be overcome, however, dwellers of the darkness do not apply to the laws of the human world, ignoring such limitations[26]), Free Will (Creatures of the Night do not follow the hand of God and instead choose of their own free will[27]), Empowerment (Creatures of the night are empowered by the night[28], becoming stronger when it's night time[29]), Evolution (Creatures of chaos can inherit evil natures[30] awakening into stronger enemies with new abilities and less weaknesses[31]), Resurrection (Self-Resurrection; Creatures of chaos can be brought back to life from the power of hate[32]. This has also been shown with slain heads reviving as an angry wraith[33]), Regeneration (Mid-Godly overtime; Even the castle from Castlevania is a Creature of Chaos[34], where they are always rebirth from Chaos with each rebirth, the creatures takes a new form[35], with this state being referred to as a "regeneration cycle"[36]), Invisibility (Creatures of Chaos possess a natural aura of darkness, which makes one unable to see those with an aura of darkness by the naked eye[37]), Time Manipulation (1-T, Passive; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon[38]), Darkness Manipulation & Subjective Reality (Creatures of chaos very existence causes dark powers to flow beyond the control of the Elgos' grimoires, due to them collecting documented information on Dracula and his castle. Causing their power to materialize in the real world in the form of monsters[39]. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal"[40], compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"[41]), Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (Passive; Creatures of the night's dark powers allowed them to rewrite the Grimoires to strengthen their dark powers greatly[42]. It is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos[43]. Their vital souls are causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle[44], or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires[45], Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten[46], where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world[47]. The text alterations also make the monsters stronger[48]. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal"[49], compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"[50]), Law Manipulation (Creatures of Chaos can alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality[51]), Power Modification (Creatures of the night alterations of the Grimoire can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations[52]. The Chaos of the Grimoire destabilized the magic of the others[53]).
Equipment
Floating Orbs

Shaft has two floating orbs around him that he uses for different magic attacks.
Notable Techniques
Enemy Summon
Shaft can conjures glyphs allowing him to summon enemies such as the Giant Bat, Medusa, Mummy Man, and Frakenstein's Monster.
Giant Bat Summon

Medusa Summon

Mummy Man Summon

Fraken Summon

Fire Magical Orbs

Shaft lights his orbs on fire and have them home in on the target and harm them through contact damage.
Lightning Magical Orbs

Shaft has two orbs that shoot out lightning below them.
Rotating Magical Orbs

Shaft has the magical orbs rotate and try to damage an enemy through contact.
Back Dash

Shaft jumps backwards to avoid attacks thrown at him.
Other
Standard Tactics: Shaft will start with summoning enemies for the opponent to fight, once the opponent defeats all of them, he will utilize hsi two orbs for a variety of elemental attacks, if he is defeated, his consciousness will persist as Shaft's Ghost, where he uses the powers of necromancy and other magical attacks.
Weaknesses
- Unique Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
- Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun[256]. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night[257], and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground[258]. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content[259].
Note
- Contrary to popular belief, holy attacks and the whips in Castlevania can affect and harm people that aren't apart of the creatures of the night. Leon's doppelganger can use holy water and holy attacks against him in this fight along with the alchemy whip despite Leon being a pure and noble warrior[260]. Simon's doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero. Holy Water even works and harms enemies such as the "Holy Armor"[261], a knight who has natural holy powers[262]. Corrupted enemies such as Charlie Vincent, use holy water attacks on Carrie and Reinhardt[263]. Characters like Jonathan Morris wear armor like the Holy Mail, an armor that reduces damage from holy attacks[264].
Trivia
- The four bosses Shaft summons in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood are the same first four bosses that appeared in the original Castlevania: the Giant Bat, Medusa, the Mummy and The Creature (Death is not summoned in this encounter as he has his own boss fight).
- As a side note, these five bosses (Death included) would each hold one of Dracula's relics in the sequel, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

- The Ghost boss in Stage 4' of Castlevania: Dracula X (a remake of Rondo of Blood) is basically Shaft's (or more precisely his ghost's) equivalent in the game, at least in appearance.
- However, Carmilla's abilities in the same game are the ones that are nearly identical to Shaft's own powers in Rondo of Blood, conjuring two orbs that unleash elemental attacks (Carmilla's riding skull's eyeballs in this case).
- In Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, the remake of Rondo of Blood, Shaft's skin tone was changed to match the Symphony of the Night artwork of his ghostly self.
- The Dracula X Chronicles also changes the storyline of the original game to some extent by giving Shaft a larger role. He was ironically responsible for detecting and unlocking Maria Renard's magical potential (rather than Maria getting caught while trying to be a heroine), and was also the one to explicitly kidnap Annette due to her bond with a Belmont.
- In The Dracula X Chronicles Shaft's possession of Richter Belmont is foreshadowed during the first battle with Shaft, where before summoning monsters to fight Richter he uses an incantation that's similar to the one possessed Richter will say while summoning a Minotaur and a Werewolf to deal with Alucard in Symphony of the Night ("Servants, come forth from the gates of hell! Attack! Rid my master's castle of this pest!").
- Also in The Dracula X Chronicles, if the player didn't meet the conditions to fight and defeat his ghost, Shaft will appear after Dracula's second form is defeated and the two villains will flee, thus ending the battle –and the game– prematurely.
- The Necromancer boss from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon also shares a resemblance to Shaft, or more precisely to his ghost, mainly being a floating robe with a very similar design. He is even given some antagonistic lines similar to those usually said by Shaft, being the only regular boss in the game to have this treatment.
- According to a post by David Cox on Facebook, in the Lords of Shadow universe, Zobek is an amalgamation of Shaft and Death[265].
- Shaft's possession of Richter Belmont in Symphony of the Night was referenced by Alucard in Richter's Palutena's Guidance conversation in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- In addition, Mewtwo's classic mode route, Psychic Control, has him having one of his previous opponents as his "ally". Richter acts as his ally in the fifth round, which apparently is a reference to Shaft brainwashing him in Symphony of the Night.
- Shaft was given a mention in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, where Lucy Westenra speculates from the records that Maria's abnormally high magic potential at her age was likely the result of it being awakened by Shaft. Genya Arikado (a.k.a. Alucard), hearing this, curses him as a malcontent and deduces that Shaft most likely did that as a gift for Dracula.
- His name may be a miswriting of the German suffix -schaft, which equates as "-hood" or "-ship" for words such as bruderschaft (brotherhood) or partnerschaft (partnership).
- While Shaft hasn't made any appearances in the two Netflix animated series, Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne, some characters from both series seem to borrow aspects from him:
- The Bishop apparently borrows some traits from Shaft, such as also being a malevolent priest and even sharing some physical resemblance to him.
- Sala also seems to borrow certain traits from Shaft, such as being a monk whose ultimate goal is to resurrect Dracula.
- The Vampire Magician wears a cowled robe similar to Shaft's and even uses floating magical orbs to cast spells. However, Adam Deats later confirmed this character was instead based on the Necromancer from Circle of the Moon[266].
- Vaublanc seems to be a loose reference to Shaft. He wears a similar robe and cowl, and even shares some of his mannerisms. Likewise, most of Erzsebet Báthory's followers also wear similar robes.

“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." - ↑ Haunted Castle Revisited Dominus Collection
