Adrian Fahrenheit Țepeș, better known as Alucard, is the dhampir son of Dracula. While he debuted as a supporting character in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Alucard became widely known as the main protagonist of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
As the product of an unnatural union between Dracula and a human woman named Lisa, Adrian possesses extraordinary powers, destined to surpass human limitations but not quite rival his father. Raised under Dracula's influence, Adrian was trained in the dark arts and shaped into a warrior expected to fight for evil.
Adrian's human side, however, often conflicted with his father's teachings. At the time of Lisa's execution—mistakenly condemned as a witch—she implored Adrian not to seek revenge against humanity, emphasizing the struggles of their mortal lives. Her final words had a profound impact, leading Adrian to question his father's vendetta. After enduring his father's tyranny for as long as he could, Adrian broke away from Dracula's forces and vanished.
Fearing his father's wrath against humanity, Adrian vowed to oppose him. Taking on the name "Alucard"—Dracula spelled backward—he signified his opposition to his father’s ideals. Alucard began targeting Dracula's armies to disrupt his plans and challenge his ideology.
Alucard is a skilled swordsman, favoring one-handed blades in combat. He is also proficient in dark magic and possesses shapeshifting abilities, allowing him to transform into a bat, a wolf, or mist.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Alucard’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
In 1476, during Trevor C. Belmont's quest to defeat Count Dracula, who had manipulated his own son into serving evil, Alucard awaited an encounter with the vampire hunter. Testing the hero's resolve and strength, Alucard challenged Trevor to a duel. Surprised by Trevor's prowess when he was defeated, Alucard acknowledged his skill and requested to join him on his mission.
After aiding in Dracula's destruction, Alucard was left with feelings of guilt for having participated in the act of patricide, despite his noble intentions. To cope with his inner turmoil, he chose to enter a deep slumber, sealing away his powers and isolating himself from the world.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
In 1797, Alucard was forced to awaken from his long slumber due to the unexpected absence of a Belmont to protect humanity. Sensing a growing evil, he set out to investigate and infiltrated Castlevania, where he discovered that Richter Belmont had fallen under the influence of darkness and was controlling the castle.
With the aid of Richter's relative, Maria Renard, Alucard uncovered the truth: the dark priest Shaft had enslaved Richter's mind as part of a scheme to resurrect Dracula. After freeing Richter from Shaft's control, Alucard ventured into an inverted version of Castlevania, which was populated by even more formidable foes. There, he confronted and defeated Shaft, putting an end to his immediate threat.
However, Shaft's resurrection ritual had already succeeded, and Alucard faced his father in battle once more. In their confrontation, Alucard reminded Dracula of Lisa's final words: that humanity should be left in peace and that she would always love him. This revelation caused Dracula to briefly show a spark of humanity before Alucard ultimately defeated him and returned him to the grave.
Following Dracula's defeat, Alucard intended to return to his slumber. However, Maria, who had grown deeply attached to him, resolved to persuade him to remain in the world of the living.
Castlevania: Nocturne of Recollection
One year after Alucard defeated Dracula, an incubus named Magnus sought to lure him back to the side of evil. Despite Magnus' attempts, Alucard resisted his manipulation and instead joined forces with Maria Renard, Richter Belmont, and two vampire hunters, Cyril and Alexis, to oppose Magnus' schemes.
During their conflict, Magnus revealed to Maria Alucard's dark past, including his consumption of human blood and the turning of his former servant, Lyudmil, into a vampire. When confronted by Maria about these claims, Alucard did not deny them, leaving the truth of his actions ambiguous. Magnus exploited Lyudmil's loyalty to Alucard and manipulated him into confronting his former master in battle.
Castlevania: Moonlight Rhapsody
Nearly a century after his second confrontation with Dracula, Alucard joined forces with a group of hunters to face his father once again. United by their shared goal, they worked together to put an end to Dracula's reign of terror for a third time.
Castlevania Judgment Galamoth devises a scheme to send the Time Reaper from 10,000 years in the future into the past to eliminate his rival, Dracula, and alter the course of history. A man named Aeon uncovers this plot and assembles champions from various eras into a dimensional rift to find a chosen one capable of defeating the Time Reaper. Alucard is among these warriors.
The version of Alucard drawn into the rift originates from a period following the events of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. At this time, he is focused on discovering a way to permanently destroy Dracula. After being pulled into the time rift, Alucard's resolve is to confront and defeat his father at the peak of his power.
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
In 2035, a man named Genya Arikado and his associate, Yoko Belnades, a Catholic Church agent, began frequenting the Hakuba Shrine in Japan. Mina, the shrine caretaker's daughter, observed their visits with curiosity but remained friendly to them. Genya, an enigmatic and cold individual with an inhumanly attractive appearance, was affiliated with a mysterious organization linked to national security. Both he and Yoko were well aware of the events surrounding Dracula's castle being sealed within a solar eclipse by a group of vampire hunters, as well as the prophecy foretelling that someone would arrive in the castle in 2035 to inherit Dracula's powers.
It is eventually revealed that Genya Arikado is, in fact, Alucard in disguise. This revelation is hinted at during a conversation between Soma and Yoko in the Study, although Yoko avoids explicitly mentioning his true identity. Julius Belmont was also present in the castle, but his amnesia and advanced age limited his involvement in direct confrontations.
Alucard was aware that the seal holding Dracula’s power was weakening. He feared that if someone with malevolent intentions, such as Graham Jones, were to claim that power, it could lead to his father’s rebirth. To prevent this, Alucard devised a plan. He sought the person destined to inherit the Dark Lord’s powers and ensured that individual would be summoned to the castle on the day of the solar eclipse. This person was Soma Cruz.
Alucard guided Soma in understanding his unique ability to absorb the souls of enemies, encouraging him to use this power to collect the essence of the castle's energy. Alucard believed that a self-aware absorber could use the gathered power to access the Chaotic Realm, a dimension where the broken seal remained. Only someone with Dracula's essence could enter this realm and destroy its source, thereby stabilizing the seal.
After defeating Graham Jones, Soma realized he was the reincarnation of Dracula. Alucard instructed him to sever the flow of Chaos and suppress Dracula’s spirit before it could completely consume him. Soma succeeded in resealing the castle within the eclipse, saving his friends, and preventing Dracula’s resurrection for the foreseeable future.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Alucard makes his first appearance as Genya Arikado to Soma Cruz in 2036 during their encounter at the Hakuba Shrine, where he intervenes to protect Soma from Celia Fortner, the leader of a cult devoted to resurrecting the Dark Lord. When Celia summons monsters to attack Soma, Arikado throws him a knife, allowing Soma to defeat the creatures and absorb their souls. Soma is puzzled by the return of his "power of dominance," to which Arikado explains that Soma always possessed this power but had no need for it after leaving Dracula's castle. After their discussion, Arikado urges Soma to stay uninvolved, claiming that he and his associates will handle Celia.
Their paths cross again in the Demon Guest House, where Arikado berates Soma for ignoring his warning and involving himself in the cult's schemes. However, acknowledging that Soma has already entered the castle, Arikado reluctantly agrees to his continued involvement. Soma informs him about Celia's plan to replace Soma with one of the Dark Lord's candidates, Dmitrii Blinov and Dario Bossi. Arikado promises to investigate further and gives Soma a letter from Mina containing a talisman to protect him from evil energies before departing to track Celia.
Later, in the Cursed Clock Tower, Arikado arrives alongside Julius Belmont, only to encounter Celia, who reveals that she has fused a flame demon with Dario's soul, greatly amplifying his powers. After Celia teleports away, Arikado instructs Julius to pursue Dario while he focuses on finding Celia.
A pivotal moment occurs in the Garden of Madness when Celia deceives Soma by slaying a Doppelganger disguised as Mina. The ruse nearly causes Soma to succumb to his dark nature and transform into the Dark Lord. However, Soma's talisman protects him, breaking the transformation. Celia's plan is further thwarted when the Doppelganger absorbs a black soul from Soma, transforming into Dmitrii, who had previously been presumed dead. Dmitrii reveals that he has copied Soma's power of dominance, making it the key to his ascension as the Dark Lord. Dmitrii also uncovers Arikado’s identity as Alucard, though he keeps this revelation ambiguous. Dmitrii and Celia flee to The Abyss, the source of the castle's dark energy.
To access The Abyss, Arikado enlists Julius Belmont to shatter the barrier separating it from the rest of the castle. Despite Julius's reluctance, as breaking the barrier will deplete his strength, he complies, enabling Arikado to continue his pursuit of Dmitrii and Celia.
In the final confrontation within The Abyss, Arikado confronts Dmitrii, only to find himself powerless due to Dmitrii's manipulation of Celia's sacrifice, which reversed his powers. Dmitrii's flawed dominance leads to his downfall, as the dark energy overwhelms him and merges into the monstrous Menace, Soma's final opponent.
After Soma's victory, as others celebrate his triumph, Alucard remains introspective. He muses that if the world requires a Dark Lord, one will eventually emerge, even if it is not Soma.
Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls
Alucard initially appears as Genya Arikado, who is requested by the Elgos member Lucy Westenra to assist in containing a growing darkness that was spreading through the grimoires and bleeding into reality. However, when attempting to access the grimoires, it becomes apparent that the past events at the Order had prevented them from directly inserting a real-world person into the grimoires' pages. In response, Arikado assumes his true identity as Alucard, allowing him to access the texts and correct the damage caused by the dark forces.
Enlisting the help of heroes throughout the grimoires Alucard and Lucy work to prevent Dracula's resurrection in modern day.
Personality
Suffering and Bitterness: Alucard appears to be a cool, reserved individual with a strong determination. However, this persona hides the deep suffering he endures because of his blood curse, forcing him to roam the world forever fighting. His curse was born from the tragic death of his mother, Lisa, at the hands of humans, which has led him to develop a profound bitterness toward mankind. Alucard feels isolated, and this bitterness shapes much of his actions, fueling his determination to defeat Dracula at any cost.
Pessimism and Strategic Thinking: Alucard’s pessimistic outlook on life stems from the burden of his immortality and the pain of his past. He always plans for every eventuality, leaving nothing to chance. This meticulous nature reflects his resolve to destroy Dracula, regardless of the personal cost. Alucard's pessimism is often seen in his cold demeanor and the detached way in which he approaches situations, as he has little faith in humanity or the world around him.
Isolation and Emotional Distance: Due to his vampiric nature, Alucard distances himself from others. He exiles himself in eternal sleep, choosing to remain dormant until his awakening in Symphony of the Night. His isolation is also a way of protecting others, as he feels his curse makes it impossible for him to form genuine human connections. Despite this, Alucard occasionally displays a sense of responsibility, taking on the role of a reluctant ally, particularly when circumstances force him into action, such as during Dracula's Curse.
Sense of Responsibility and Indifference to Others: In Symphony of the Night, Alucard feels an overwhelming responsibility to confront and destroy Dracula, regardless of the consequences. His focus on defeating his father supersedes any concern for Richter’s possession or the well-being of others, as he remains indifferent to the plight of those around him. Alucard’s cold farewell to Richter and Maria at the end of Symphony of the Night shows his detached nature, as he chooses to pursue his own mission rather than foster connections with them.
Vulnerability and Emotional Response: While Alucard forges few human attachments, there are moments where his emotions break through. Notably, when the Succubus impersonates his mother, Lisa, Alucard’s emotions flare, revealing how deeply he still feels the loss of her. This emotional vulnerability contrasts with his otherwise stoic nature and highlights the internal conflict he experiences. His determination to defeat Dracula is also a reflection of his unresolved grief and need for closure.
Reluctant Confrontation with His Father: Alucard’s cold indifference toward his father contrasts with the emotional weight of their final battle. He does not hesitate to fight Dracula again, despite the deep emotional turmoil that the confrontation brings. The battle culminates in Dracula’s words echoing the sentiments once spoken by Lisa, Alucard’s mother, showing that the conflict is not just between father and son, but also tied to Alucard’s own unresolved pain.

Neutral Combo
Alucard begins his combo with a fast horizontal sword swipe from left to right, then quickly follows with an upward diagonal swing to the left. He then performs another horizontal strike to the right, then jumps into the air while swinging his sword upward in a vertical motion. The combo ends with a swift downward slash aimed at the enemy below.
Directional Combo
Alucard swings his sword in a wide, sweeping motion from one side to the other, making sure to cover a large area. He then leaps high into the air and swings his sword upward, delivering a powerful strike that knocks any enemy in the way. As he descends, he swings his sword in a wide overhead arc, delivering a final blow to any enemies below him as he lands.
Jumping Attack
While leaping through the air, Alucard swings his sword in a graceful upward arc. He begins the motion from behind his body, moving it forward and upward, before finishing the strike above him. This allows Alucard to strike enemies both in front of him and overhead.
Dodge
Summon Spirit
Alucard summons a dark, purplish-black spirit from his hand, which arcs gracefully upward toward his target. The spirit seeks out any nearby enemies, striking them with its ethereal force.
Tetra Spirit
Alucard plants his hand firmly on the ground and shouts either "Devour them!" or "Take this!" He calls forth four spirits from the earth that stay close to the ground, awaiting to lock onto a nearby enemy. Once locked on, the spirits rush toward the target, dealing damage as they go. If Alucard is airborne during the casting, the spirits appear in front of him, hovering until they detect a nearby enemy, at which point they will move toward the target.
Wing Smash
With a commanding shout of "No escape!", Alucard sprouts bat wings and swiftly glides forward. During this high-speed glide, he swings his sword powerfully, knocking any enemy in his path to the ground with a single, devastating strike.
Dark Lightning
While suspended in the air, Alucard summons dark lightning that strikes downward from his position. The dark lightning arcs toward the enemy’s location on the ground, dealing massive electrical damage upon impact.
Summon Sword Familiar
Alucard summons a magic circle beneath a nearby target, from which a sword familiar emerges. The familiar rises from below, attacking its target with swift sword strikes from beneath, dealing significant damage as it continues its assault.
Form of Mist
Alucard transforms his body into mist, becoming intangible. As mist, he is able to glide in the direction the analog pad is facing. If the analog pad is left neutral, Alucard will move toward the opposite side of his opponent, allowing him to quickly reposition or pass through obstacles.
Infernal Blade
Alucard cries out "Now!" and performs a powerful Wing Smash, sending his opponent soaring. If the strike lands successfully, Alucard transports the enemy to another dimension. He plants his sword into the ground, igniting it in flames. His wings grow massive as he charges at the opponent, striking them with his fiery sword, sending them flying upward. As Alucard backflips in the air, he launches himself from a magical circle and charges downward with another fierce attack. With a final, powerful strike, he declares, "It's over!" and his opponent is engulfed in flames. As Alucard lands, he says "Burn away!" as the opponent is consumed by fire.
Other
Standard Tactics: Alucard has notably utilized various weapons in combat that best suit the situation along with notably using Soul Steal against multiple targets at once, even in his suppressed Genya Arikado form. Along with this Alucard has a variety of different items, attack items, sub-weapons, and magic he uses that best suit the situation.
The name "Alucard" is "Dracula" spelled backward, which is likely an analogy for being Dracula's rebel son.
The name "Alucard" originates from the 1943 Universal horror film Son of Dracula. In the film, Count Alucard initially poses as Dracula's son, although it is later revealed to be Dracula himself. Despite later employments of the name being used to avoid notice, in this film, every character he meets immediately deduces the connection, but still believe his claim of being Dracula's son.
Țepeș is not actually a surname, but rather an epithet meaning "impaler" (as in "Vlad the Impaler"). Nonetheless, it is treated as Alucard's surname.
Originally, in the Japanese version of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Alucard was a vampire, due to his father selling his soul to the Devil in order to gain more power.[905] However, this was later retconned with Symphony of the Night's addition of Lisa to the storyline, making Alucard into a dhampir from birth.
In the Japanese version of Symphony of the Night, when telling his father what Lisa's last words were, Alucard states them in a manner indicating he was holding back tears from recalling them.
According to Koji Igarashi, Alucard can use holy sub-weapons without harm because Lisa was a descendant of a "holy bloodline".
According to Tōru Hagihara, Alucard was supposed to have an "alignment system" in Symphony of the Night. Using the sub-weapons a lot would have given him a holy alignment, and using magic a lot would have given him a dark alignment.
Alucard's quote in the American version of Symphony of the Night, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing", comes from the Irish philosopher Edmund Burke.
In Dawn of Sorrow, when playing as Alucard in Julius Mode, he does not project his reflection on mirrors as the other characters do. This is in reference to the legend that says that vampires don't reflect their image on mirrors. However, some sources state that dhampirs, unlike vampires, indeed cast their reflection on mirrors and other reflective surfaces.
This is particularly the case in the animated series. In the "Shadow Battles" episode, when Alucard contemplates skulls of vampires behind a showcase, his reflection can be seen.
Alucard's voice actor in the Japanese version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Ryōtarō Okiayu, also voiced Trevor Belmont in the animated series.
Although Sephiroth facing Dracula in his Classic Mode path in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was overall a reference to their respective status as final bosses in their games, it ironically enough also resembles how Alucard faced off against Dracula in both Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and Symphony of the Night.
"有角" literally means "having horns", possibly clues in to Alucard's dark heritage. "幻", which may refer to "mirage" or "illusion", could mean that this identity is just a facade. Also, "Arikado" is a pun that sounds like Alucard through Japanese pronunciation (Arukādo).
In the opening of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Arikado can be seen destroying multiple enemies with a magical attack. This is presumably Alucard's Soul Steal spell.
While under this persona, Arikado's hair is black. This is most likely the work of his magic power, as when playing Julius Mode in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, which takes place soon after Soma embraces the role of Dark Lord, Alucard is encountered with his usual blond/platinum hair.
Based on his first meeting with her in Grimoire of Souls, Genya Arikado had not even been aware of Charlotte Aulin's existence until Lucy Westenra summoned her.

↑Akumajou Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "I had come to destroy evil. A spectacled vampire hunter confirmed this as his duty. In front of him is a [grotesque creature] whose dreadful power can be felt. The creature appears human but the instant he looked at it, all of his body’s cells cried out in terror. “The timing is bad, church person.” Whilst listening to the words said by the [grotesque creature], the young hunter kept on reminding himself. -----I am …… I ought to be a vampire hunter."

↑WN: Last question. Why does Dracula keep putting meat inside the walls of his castle?
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.

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."
