Background

In the year 1691, exactly 100 years after his defeat at the hands of Christopher Belmont, Dracula started resurrecting himself once again. As the hearts of men began to darken and a cult of Dracula formed, the Dark Lord himself was resurrected on Easter Day. By this day and age, the Belmont Clan was still passing along their traditions of hard training and vampire hunting, with the newest member of the Clan to wield the Vampire Killer whip being Simon Belmont.

Much like his ancestors before him, Simon Belmont didn’t hesitate to take his whip and head to Dracula’s Castle; he was incredibly motivated by stories of his ancestors before him, namely Trevor and Christopher, who he hoped to live up to. Simon fought his way through Dracula’s Castle, destroying countless creatures of the night, before facing Count Dracula himself.

Although Simon was able to successfully slay the Dark Lord, unbeknownst to him, Dracula had placed a curse on Simon’s back, which would slowly kill him, in hopes of ending the Belmont bloodline for good. Unaware of this curse, Simon watched the castle crumble from far off.

Nearly a year passed, and Simon spent his days defeating any monster he saw near Transylvania, attempting to rid the land of any of Dracula’s remnants. While he was doing so, however, a strange man named Aeon appeared before him, and pulled him into a place known as the Time Rift. Here, Simon learned that there had been a convergence of time, and that a demon known as Galamoth sent his minion, the Time Reaper, to destroy the entire Castlevania time-space.

Eager to get the chance to meet heroes such as Trevor Belmont while traversing the Time Rift, Simon gladly went along with the plot. He hoped to not only save the timeline from destruction, but prove to himself that he was truly a legendary warrior, by challenging Trevor. Simon got his chance to do so, proving himself to Trevor, and finally defeating the Time Reaper. With everything done, Simon was returned to his own time, and continued hunting the demon stragglers.

Nearly six years following Simon’s adventures through the Time Rift, he began to feel incredibly weak. Kneeling at the Belmont Cemetery, he began to contemplate if he was going to soon die, and why. Out of nowhere, a mysterious woman appeared behind Simon, and informed him that seven years ago, Dracula had inflicted him with a terrible curse. She told Simon that the only way to break this curse would be to collect the body parts of Dracula, and then burn them.

Knowing this, Simon got up immediately and began searching all around Transylvania for the parts of Dracula’s body, and eventually he was able to track them all down; not without the help of a few townspeople, though. Simon finally placed the body parts at the altar and was ready to burn them, until they joined together and brought back Dracula’s soul.

Simon fought against Dracula’s Spirit as hard as he had the first time he faced the Dark Lord, and was successful in securing his defeat once again. After this hard-fought battle, Simon’s curse was finally dispersed, and he was brought back to peak health. The townspeople started looking up to Simon as the greatest hero of the age, and gathered around him, thus forming a village around the Belmont’s. This village would be where Simon’s grandson, Juste Belmont, grew up.

The Time Reaper was going to destroy the entire Castlevania Timeline) | At least Universe level, likely Far Higher (Could directly defeat the Time Reaper by himself) | At least Universe level, likely Far Higher

Durability: Universal level (Could take hits from Death, who should be above the Time Reaper; the Time Reaper's power was going to destroy the Castlevania Timeline) | At least Universe level, likely Far Higher (Could take hits from the Time Reaper directly) | At least Universe level, likely Far Higher

Intelligence: Genius Intelligence in combat (Due to Dracula growing stronger with each resurrection, he should thus be more dangerous in Simon’s time than Christophers’s; meaning that Simon should be similar to, if not superior to, Christopher in combat. Simon has also foiled three of Dracula’s plots, and has been active as a Vampire Hunter for nearly a decade)
