Julius Belmont

“	Soma, please understand. If the darkness draws you in... I have no choice but to destroy you.	„
	~ Julius Belmont to Soma Cruz

Background

Born in 1980, Julius Belmont was the distant descendant of the legendary Richter Belmont. Since Richter gave up the Vampire Killer whip after his possession by Shaft, the Belmont Clan had been hidden away in the shadows and without their own whip for nearly two hundred years. Miraculously, however, after Jonathan Morris’s time wielding the whip, it appeared back in the Belmont’s hands.

Nearly a hundred years had passed since Dracula’s resurrection, and subsequent defeat, at the hands of Quincy Morris in 1897. A seer foretold the resurrection of Dracula was imminent, and that he would be returning at full power. A war was starting, which would come to be known as the War of 1999.

Julius Belmont came prepared for Dracula’s resurrection with the Vampire Killer whip, and stormed Dracula’s Castle. Julius faced down the Dark Lord in a legendary battle, and was finally able to slay him, fully defeating the vampire and sealing him away in the eclipse. After 900 years of conflict, Dracula was defeated forever. Julius Belmont kept the Vampire Killer whip within Dracula’s Castle, to help keep Dracula’s magic power from ever returning.

Julius, unfortunately, waa inflicted with horrible amnesia, and could only remember the first letter of his first name. For the next thirty years, Julius would go on living under the alias of “J,” until 2035 when Dracula’s Castle rose once again. Feeling compelled to enter the castle, Julius’s memory was restored more and more as he traversed it.

Finally realizing who he was, Julius recovered the Vampire Killer whip and planned on discovering why Dracula’s Castle had risen. Unfortunately, Julius came across a boy named Soma Cruz, who was recently revealed to be the reincarnation of Count Dracula.

Julius fought Soma with plans to kill him, but realized Soma’s true intentions and stopped. Leaving the rest of the mission up to Soma, Julius left the castle. Nearly a year later, however, a new plot began that Julius was pulled into.

With new “Dracula successors” on the rise, Julius came to investigate and stop people from inheriting Dracula’s dark powers and becoming the new Dark Lord. Unfortunately, Julius was defeated by Dario Bossi, who was possessed by a fire demon called Agni. Once again leaving Soma to solve the plot, Julius promised that he would come in to stop Soma if anything bad were to happen and he was to revert to the Dark Lord.

It can adapt itself to make people unfit to wield it before it recognizes them as its rightful owner), Life Manipulation (If it is wielded by someone it does not consider a rightful owner, it will take life from them), Conceptual Manipulation (The Vampire Killer whip can destroy anything related to the vampires, including concepts such as the night, and death), Memory Manipulation (The whip can summon memories of its past wielders to fight for it), Personal Domain (The Vampire Killer contains a realm within it, in which it houses memories of its previous wielders), Extrasensory Perception (Due to containing Sara's soul, the whip can sense the presence of anything related to the vampires), Fire Manipulation (The whip's Item Crash engulfs it in flames.
