This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.
“
Walk the path that is meant for you without fear... For you are no longer alone...
Saint Germain is an enigmatic time traveler featured in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. He possesses a vast knowledge and the unique ability to alter his position within the flow of time, along with alter the flow of time itself.
Saint Germain first appears in Garibaldi Temple, dressed as a refined gentleman with a top hat and polite demeanor. He urges Hector to abandon his pursuit of Isaac. Saint Germain is later revealed to oppose Zead, dodging his attacks with his time manipulation abilities and vowing to return until Zead yields.
Saint Germain eventually falls into Zead's trap at the Eneomaos Machine Tower, losing some of his power. Although he isn’t truly an enemy, he challenges Hector to keep him from pursuing Isaac further.
After Hector defeats him, Saint Germain acknowledges his strength and encourages him to follow his path. Before leaving through a golden portal, he sarcastically asks Hector to send his regards to Zead. In a post-game message, he addresses the player, reflecting briefly on destiny and purpose, often hinting at the future with ambiguous comments, especially during his conflict with Zead.
Sword: A sword he wields in combat, using deft and quick strikes with them.
Pistol: A pistol he wields in combat, using it for quick shots.
Notable Techniques
Stop!: Saint Germain shouts "Stop!" as he stops the flow of time and attacks his opponent.
O time advance!: Saint Germain shouts "O time advance!" as he speeds up the flow of time, he will always do this if he's inflicted a status effect on his opponent. While time is advancing he will also have plants grow and decay at fast speeds, hurting anyone they come into contact with.
O time reverse!: Saint Germain shouts "O time reverse!" as he reverses the flow of time, allowing him to heal himself of his injuries and recover his stamina.
Teleportation: Saint Germain constantly teleports around his opponent and attacks them as he comes out of the teleportation.
Other
Standard Tactics: Saint Germain is an observer who cannot physically interact with the world, but in situations where he's freed from the fetters of time, he has utilized rapier strikes and manipulates time, either stopping time entirely or dealing a status effect on the target and speeding up time so the target repeatedly gets hit with the status effect. He has also used time to restore his own health bar.
Saint Germain is likely a reference to the hero of Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's well-known book series The Saint-Germain Chronicles. In turn, the Count Saint-Germain character is based off a true historical figure, Comte Rakoczy de Saint-Germain. St. Germain lived most of his life in London and was an active occultist, philosopher and composer. Much of his origins are shrouded in mystery. He claimed to be centuries old and a son of Transylvanian prince Francis II Rákóczi.
Coincidentally, the union of Romania with Bukovina in 1919 was ratified by a document named the "Treaty of Saint Germain". Bukovina is one of the significant locations in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula.
While Saint Germain himself does not appear in Castlevania Judgment, he is alluded to. He appears to be a member of the time traveler organization Aeon belongs to, and is implied to be an individual whom Aeon enlists to fix issues through the timeline.
Aeon's alternate color scheme matches Saint Germain's. It is also possible to unlock a Silk Top Hat and the Angel Continental mustache which, if put on Aeon's alternate costume, will give him an appearance similar to that of Saint Germain.
He is the only character in the series to break the fourth wall.
In the ending to Curse of Darkness, when addressing the player, he implies that he knows about the Demon Castle War of 1999 and Dracula's final death during that time.
In the Japanese version, it is explicit that his intervention was to fix a possible problem through the timeline that would prevent the Demon Castle War from taking place.
↑Castlevania Judgment Aeon's Hyper Attack on Death
↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku Novel “I had said it before. I do not intend to bind the world with chaos.” “…… If so, why did you take power away from the crack in the eclipse’s seal? If you just intend to imitate like a monkey, isn’t your own power enough?” Those were the emotionless words of Death. In response, Olrox laughed his bold answer. “As I’ve said, I would equally gain control over the human world and the source of Dracula’s power, chaos. I do not intend to obey someone else’s mind aside from my own. That includes you who were born out of chaos.” “……” “You should be glad though to know yourself. Just by stealing power, my shameful monotonous time is over…… Even before Alucard appeared, just because I showed up and declared war on him.” Olrox’s voice was mixed with a tinge of thin delight. He respectfully bowed to Death who completely killed his emotions. “I would end the reincarnation cycle of this demon castle. I who understood and was spun out of the stains of chaos, swear to rob that power with my hands. Now, yield.” With Death’s reply, an explosive murderous intent rose. Two bronze colored scythes much larger than usual appeared; it advanced to the space in between the two men with an intention to cut off Olrox’s head. Kill the distance----- Kill the sound----- Just, faster, soon, die. It can be seen that the blades have certainly caught Olrox’s neck, but----- that is only an after image and the vampire is already at Death’s back. “……die.” That was said by the enemy who called on his servants. From the surrounding space, a group of purple bats rose, passed by Olrox’s arm with the speed of a bullet, attacking Death.
However, Death did not show any gesture of avoiding them. He simply faced Olrox and sprayed out numerous scythes. The bats and scythes cancelled each other out and the entire dance hall sparkled with blood."
↑Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Bestiary No. 44
↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "From the time they stepped into the mountains, Curtis and Michelle felt malicious intent in the air.
Even though it is still far away, their bodies seemed to squeal [run away]. 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."
↑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."
↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "“Uh……aa……Mi……chelle……” 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."
