You took it easy on me... The strength of a Belmont... No... The strength of a vampire hunter is greater than this.

Background

The Belmont Clan is a Clan of Vampire Hunters, who are featured at the forefront of the Castlevania series. Beginning with Leon Belmont in 1072, the Belmont lineage has existed for nearly one thousand years, with their sole purpose being to slay Count Dracula after each one of his resurrections.

When Leon Belmont first met the alchemist, Rinaldo Gandolfi, he was blessed with the ability to harness magical power. It was through this event that the Belmont Clan developed abilities unseen in any other family, as the ability to harness magic became an inborn power of all Belmonts after Leon.

Upon their 15th or 16th birthdays, the members of the Belmont Clan go through a ceremony that denotes their transition into adulthood; this ceremony blesses them with extremely powerful sacred powers, which further sets them apart from other families. As such, the magic passed through their family tree, and the sacred power bestowed upon them, lead to each of the Belmonts possessing the same abilities/resistances.

The physiology of the Belmonts is constantly referenced in the series as being a generalized thing, further confirming that all Belmonts are born with the same abilities. During the events of Castlevania Judgement, Simon Belmont constantly refers to the powers of the Belmont family, as well as confirming that his abilities spawn from more than just the legendary Belmont whip.

Uses

  • Weapon Mastery: All members of the Belmont Clan are naturally gifted in wielding several different types of weapons. This ranges from their proficiency with a whip, to their perfect aim with throwing knives and axes. They're also incredibly skilled with cross-shaped boomerangs, and jars of holy water.
  • Accelerated Development: The Belmonts can learn things at a much faster rate than regular people. For instance, when Leon Belmont was granted the ability to use magic by Rinaldo Gandolfi, he was then able to preform magic spells without any knowledge of how the spells themselves worked.
  • Social Influencing: The Belmont Clan was feared by society for their powers, and as such were ostracized from civilization. Later, when Simon Belmont rescued Transylvania from Count Dracula, the people were so moved that they formed a village around him.

Resistances

  • Death Manipulation: Can consistently fight and withstand both physical and magical attacks from Death, who is the embodiment of death and uses his powers to bring death upon the living.
  • Ice Manipulation: The Belmonts have been frozen by attacks before, from enemies such as Ice Demons and Frost Elementals, but can break out of it.
