Background

Desmond Belmont was born to the Belmont Clan during the 1600s, alongside his sisters Zoe and Dolores Belmont, as the son of Soleil Belmont. Desmond exists in an alternate timeline to the main continuity, although for unknown reasons, as his game doesn’t present any contradictions or alternative events that would make it not fit. His lineage as a Belmont made him a natural candidate for continuing the family’s legacy as a hunter of the night.

Like the rest of the male members of the Belmont Clan, Desmond was trained from a young age to become a proficient warrior. He mastered a variety of weapons, including swords, knives, axes, crosses, and, most notably, the Belmonts’ signature whips. This rigorous training prepared him for the challenges that lay ahead, as he would need every ounce of skill and courage to face the darkness threatening his family.

Tragedy struck when Desmond and his sisters were still young. Their father, Soleil Belmont, uncovered the existence of a powerful cult of Dracula worshippers known as the Order of Shadows. Determined to eliminate this threat, Soleil took the Vampire Killer whip and infiltrated the mansion where the Order resided. However, he was ambushed and gravely wounded by the cult's leader, Rohan Krause. Despite his injuries, Soleil managed to return home to his children. Before succumbing to his wounds, he entrusted the Vampire Killer whip to Desmond, passing down the Belmont family’s legacy.

Years passed, and Desmond, Zoe, and Dolores grew into skilled and determined warriors. Having honed their abilities and steeled their resolve, the siblings prepared to avenge their father and destroy the Order of Shadows. Together, they embarked on a perilous journey to the cursed mansion that served as the Order's stronghold.

Inside the mansion, the siblings worked together to dismantle the cult’s power. While Desmond focused on eradicating the monstrous creatures that filled the halls, Zoe and Dolores sought out the chamber where Rohan Krause resided. During their exploration, Zoe discovered a powerful relic—a gauntlet that once belonged to Leon Belmont, blessed with alchemy by Rinaldo Gandolfi. Recognizing its significance, Desmond claimed the artifact, which granted him potent alchemic powers to aid in his mission.

Eventually, Zoe and Dolores uncovered Rohan’s location, and Desmond confronted the cult leader. Rohan mocked Desmond, belittling his father and declaring the Vampire Killer useless against him. A fierce battle ensued, and despite Rohan’s arrogance, Desmond’s determination and skill proved too much for him. As Rohan lay dying, he used his own blood in a desperate act to resurrect Count Dracula, causing the Dark Lord’s Castle to rise once more.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Desmond wasted no time. He stormed into Dracula’s Castle, battling through hordes of enemies to reach the Dark Lord himself. Though Dracula admitted he was not at full strength, he was confident in his ability to win. Desmond, however, called upon all his strength and the power of the Vampire Killer to face the Dark Lord in a climactic battle. After a hard-fought confrontation, Desmond dealt the final blow, sending Dracula back to the depths of hell.

Before vanishing, Dracula ominously warned that he would always return, but Desmond vowed that the Belmont Clan would always be ready to oppose him. With one final strike, Desmond ended the conflict and brought peace to the land once more.

With Dracula defeated and his castle crumbling, Desmond reunited with Zoe and Dolores, and the siblings left the ruins together. Desmond continued the Belmont lineage, ensuring that the family’s legacy endured. It is presumed that he became the father of the legendary Simon Belmont, passing down the knowledge, strength, and Vampire Killer whip to the next generation.

Resistance to Dracula's Castle's Abilities (Belmonts are able to travel in our around the castle without feeling any of the adverse effects from the castle)

The Castle Abilities Include:

Reality Warping (The Castle does not work on standard logic, where changing rooms can have one view a completely different background, such as room with a blue sky that is reflecting up and downwards and having the cloud srotate at a fast speed), Transmutation (Beings that come near are subject to the castle's influence, such as a local barnyard owl which was mutated just from flying near it), Possession (The castle possesses objects with its magic, such as a ouija table), Sealing (Dracula's magic captured Aguni, a primitive god of fire.

The Castle corrupts the minds of those who enter it, such as making Maxim Kischine feel strange ever since coming to it.

The text alterations also make the monsters stronger. With the real world and world of grimoires being one and the same, compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification". Death was going to use Dracula's magic to rewrite Dracula's defeat to Trevor making it where Dracula defeats Trevor Belmont instead where Dracula would go on living in the rewritten grimoire with each grimoire being its own world and the grimoires influence extends into reality), Law Manipulation (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power, which alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality), Power Modification (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power, which the vital souls cause alterations of the Grimoire that can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations.

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. Holy Water even works and harms enemies such as the "Holy Armor", a knight who has natural holy powers. Corrupted enemies such as Charlie Vincent, use holy water attacks on Carrie and Reinhardt.

Trivia

• The magic gauntlet that Zoe gives to Desmond during the course of the story is the same Magic Gauntlet Leon Belmont used in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence and which was powered by Rinaldo Gandolfi, Giovanni Gandolfi's ancestor.
