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.

Notable Techniques

Whip Combos

Simon uses the whip to link both basic and advanced combos, whether stationary or in motion. Some combos move him forward or upward, giving him solid range.

Air Combos

Simon can wield the whip to strike with both vertical and horizontal lashes.

Evading Move

Simon can perform a Thumb Roll in his facing direction, allowing him to dodge any attack as long as he keeps rolling and avoids rolling out of bounds.

Binding Whip

Simon pulls the enemy toward him with a whip, setting up a base combo for either Rising Whip or Holy Ruin.

Rising Whip

Simon charges his whip and delivers an upward strike to the enemy.

Holy Ruin

A surge of energy bursts from a simple strike with Simon's whip.

Dancing Whip

Simon tosses the whip at close range; it inflicts minimal damage but can irritate the enemy.

Twisting Arrow

Simon performs a torpedo dive at his enemies, with higher jumps resulting in stronger hits.

Whip Tornado

Simon charges his whip and performs a 360-degree spin, striking all around him.

Sudden Impact

Simon charges his whip, spins it, and slams it down in front of him, piercing through all defenses with a surge of energy.

Vampire Killer (Simon Version)

Simon charges at his enemy, delivering a blow to set up the Super Finisher. As he charges his whip, the Golden Cross on his back shines brightly. He rushes at his foe, who can't comprehend his speed and power in time to block. Simon strikes his opponent five times vertically and then charges his whip again, increasing its power before delivering another ninety-three hits that create the illusion of a sphere. He concludes with two final, powerful strikes, bringing the total to 99 hits. Landing on the ground, Simon explains to his opponent the power of a Belmont.

Other

Standard Tactics: Simon will use the vampire killer in combat along with a number of different sub-weapons and items that best suit the sitution.

Weaknesses

• Castlevania: Nothing notable.
• Castlevania II: Simon's Quest: Has been inflicted with a curse placed on him by Dracula, that kills him in the bad ending of the game.

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. Simon's Doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero.

Miscellaneous Feats

• Can break open walls to find hidden items or enemies there.
• Can break stone blocks with his whip.
• Broke apart stone pillars with his whip.
• Can easily break open ice blocks with his whip.
• Can destroy full stone blocks with his whip.

Trivia

• According to a statement made by the head director of the three Famicom Castlevania games, Hitoshi Akamatsu, the inclusion of the whip as Simon's weapon of choice is a reference to Indiana Jones.
• Simon was originally planned to be named "Peter Dante".
• Castlevania Judgment, for Nintendo's Wii, marks Simon's third appearance in a 3D fighting game, after his bouts in Battle Tryst and DreamMix TV: World Fighters. Like many of the other playable characters, Simon is also able to use his traditional sub-weapons in the game.
  • Keith Silverstein, Simon's English voice actor, also did the voice of Albus in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
• The original concept behind the 2010 series reboot Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was to remake the original Castlevania starring Simon. While this idea was ultimately not followed through, Lords of Shadow's protagonist, Gabriel Belmont, wears armor which is reminiscent of Simon's artwork and sprite from Simon's Quest (confirmed in an interview by developer David Cox). This is presumably a reference to Gabriel being the first main character of a new Castlevania series, as Simon was of the original franchise.
  • Simon Belmont's sprite also appears in Lords of Shadow after enabling Cheat mode. The sprite copies Gabriel's movements.
• Simon Belmont was the initial protagonist of Paul Anderson's original script for Castlevania: The Movie. Several rewrites of this script took place and it's not known if he was still planned to make an appearance in the final cut. The project was ultimately canceled.
• At the end of the original Castlevania, the name listed in the credits under "The Hero" is Simon Belmondo, while in Simon's Quest it is consistently Simon Belmont.
• His interaction with Genya Arikado in Grimoire of Souls is technically the only time that he and Alucard directly interacted with each other canonically, as Simon and Alucard had previously interacted in Captain N: The Game Master.
