Eric Lecarde (エリック・リカード Erikku Rikādo?) is one of the two main protagonists in Castlevania: Bloodlines. He later appears as a supporting character in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and also as a fighter in the 3D game Castlevania Judgment. He is the father of twin daughters, Stella and Loretta, and a close friend of John Morris.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Eric Lecarde’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Early Childhood
Eric was born in Segovia, Spain, into the Lecarde family, a prestigious line with strong ties to the Belmonts. The Lecardes were known for possessing an enchanted weapon, the Alucard Spear, a powerful relic passed down through generations. As the second-born son of five children, Eric was raised with a focus on combat, beginning his training in fencing and martial arts at the age of three. By the time he turned 10, he was the best fighter in his family and the most skilled spear user in all of Spain. At the age of 11, his family arranged an engagement between him and Lucy Seward, marking a step in his future responsibilities.
Castlevania Judgment
At age 15, Eric began to question the role of the Alucard Spear, which his family believed to be a secondary weapon to the more famous Vampire Killer. During a walk, Eric was mysteriously transported to a strange realm, where he encountered a time guardian named Aeon. Aeon challenged Eric to prove his worth by fighting notable warriors from history, including the legendary Alucard, the creator of the spear, Trevor Belmont, who once wielded the Vampire Killer, and Maria Renard, whose magical powers were thought to surpass those of the whip. After defeating all his opponents, Eric’s confidence grew, and he came to believe that the Alucard Spear, combined with his own strength, could stand against even the might of Dracula.
Adulthood
Despite his impressive abilities, Eric eventually turned away from his destiny as a vampire hunter. He found solace in sculpting, a passion that greatly disappointed his father, causing frequent arguments within the family. At the age of 18, Eric left home and his fiancée to pursue his new path as an artist. Five years later, Eric joined the construction of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, seeking a fresh start. During a stormy night, an old man mysteriously visited him and informed him that Elizabeth Bartley, Dracula’s niece, had been revived and was planning to resurrect her uncle. The man handed Eric a key and urged him to return home to fulfill his ancestral role as a vampire hunter. After much thought, Eric chose to return and confront his fate.
Upon his return, Eric was met with tragedy. He discovered that Lucy, who had waited for him all these years, had been killed by Elizabeth, and her soul was trapped in Dracula’s castle. Lucy’s final request was for Eric to save her soul before she passed away. Shortly after, the key he had been given began to shine, leading him to a marble temple in his garden. Inside, he found the Alucard Spear bound in chains, glowing with a pale blue light. As soon as Eric touched the spear, the chains loosened, and a surge of power coursed through him. In that moment, Eric fully embraced his destiny as a vampire hunter and was bound to the spear's power.
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Following Dracula's defeat at the hands of Quincy Morris, the vampire lord's spirit continued to wander, seeking a new vessel. In the midst of World War I, Elizabeth Bartley plotted to use the millions of souls lost in the conflict as sacrifices to bring back Dracula. To complete the ritual, Elizabeth needed to reach Castle Proserpina, located in Whitby, England, where Dracula’s spirit awaited.
In 1917, Eric arrived in the town of Bistritz, Romania, where he met John Morris, the son of Quincy Morris and a distant relative of the Belmonts. Eric joined John and helped him undergo a ceremony that allowed John to wield the Vampire Killer, a legendary weapon of great power. Together, they set out for the ruins of Dracula’s castle in pursuit of Elizabeth. They eventually encountered and fought against one of Drolta Tzuentes’ monsters, before continuing their chase across Europe. In the end, they confronted Elizabeth at Castle Proserpina, where their combined efforts defeated her and Drolta, stopping Dracula’s resurrection and banishing his spirit from Europe.
Before Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Years later, Eric found new love and had twin daughters, Stella and Loretta, born in 1923. Stella inherited his physical strength, while Loretta took after him in magical aptitude. Though neither daughter wielded the Alucard Spear, they were trained in the Lecarde family traditions and learned the rituals necessary to unlock the full power of the Vampire Killer. Despite their training, Eric remained somewhat overprotective of them, knowing the dangers they might face.
After the events of 1917, Eric and John discovered that the Vampire Killer had a devastating effect on those who were not direct descendants of the Belmont family. The whip drained life energy from users who were not Belmonts, and John had suffered from this effect, weakening his health over time. Knowing the consequences, John asked Eric to never reveal the full truth to his son, Jonathan, and to not teach him how to wield the whip’s full power.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
In 1944, Dracula’s castle was resurrected by the grief of those who died during World War II. The vampire Brauner took control of the castle, and Eric went to investigate. He was soon defeated by Brauner, and while searching for him, his twin daughters, Stella and Loretta, disobeyed his instructions and followed him into the castle. The two were turned into vampires by Brauner, and Eric was killed in the process. However, Eric’s strong will allowed him to bind his spirit to the castle, preventing it from being corrupted by its dark power. He waited for new hunters to come, so he could help them defeat Brauner.
When Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin, a spellcaster from the Belnades family, arrived to investigate the castle, they encountered Eric’s spirit, who introduced himself as “Wind” to avoid revealing his identity. Eric assisted the duo by teaching Jonathan new combat techniques, providing Charlotte with spells, and offering valuable information about Brauner. Eventually, when Jonathan and Charlotte found a locket with a photo of Eric, his daughters, and himself, Eric admitted his true identity and explained the reason for his silence regarding his past. He also explained the true circumstances of his own death, revealing how John Morris had kept secrets to protect his son from the Vampire Killer’s draining power.
Eric eventually gave Jonathan the Alucard Spear, and Charlotte performed a purification spell, restoring Stella and Loretta to their human forms. After Brauner and Dracula were defeated, Eric said his final goodbyes to his daughters before departing to the afterlife.

Eric's "Wind" characterization from Portrait of Ruin, shares some similarities with William L. Flemming from Metal Gear Ac!d in both physical appearance and being motivated in their actions regarding at least one daughter being abducted by the main villains, as well as using an alias for part of the game. As Konami was responsible for both games, Eric's design and characterization being derived from Flemming was probably deliberate.
Eric's Judgment characterization was allegedly not well received by fans of the franchise due to, not only appearing as a child in that game, but coming across as smug and arrogant as well.
The implication of Eric cutting off his fiancée's, Lucy Seward, head off and plunging a stake through her heart after she passed away, to prevent her from resurrecting as a vampire and save her soul, draws aspects to how the Dracula novel character, Lucy Westenra, also went through a very similar situation.
The name Eric and its variations have never seen regular use in the Iberian peninsula. Originally a Scandinavian name, it is mostly found in Germanic-, Finnic- or French-speaking countries, and is scarce outside them.
In Romanian, his family name, Lecarde, taken apart in reverse reads: E drac el, which translates to "He is devil".

↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "““……Is there no way……Curtis can be saved.” “What have you misunderstood? I am Death. Human death only comprises a part of chaos. They can come back again as zombies or skeletons, but without a soul, dead bodies cannot be revived. And ----- there is no reason to perform that.”
↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "Those scythes constructed by magic did not turn towards Olrox or Michelle, every scythe then gathered near the youth’s body. Then, those numerous blades made from magic overlapped with each other and with a powerful atrocious magic constructed a Death scythe in Death’s arm. “This false castle……You shall fall into chaos as a thing that denies the existence of the [lord]……[death] shall pass judgment on your sins!” Sensing the overwhelming existence of [death], Olrox again realized that the youth in front of him is [Death]------laughed out loud. “interesting…… So, death really exists! Thus I’ll use all my power…… to shatter that thing called [death].”

↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "From the time they stepped into the mountains, Curtis and Michelle felt malicious intent in the air.
Even though it is still far away, their bodies seemed to squeal [run away]. There was definitely no room for doubt. It is certain that the [castle] exists at the back of the mountains. The church’s greatest vampire hunter, Julius Belmont must be contacted. However, the conversation jumped into the matter of the disappearance of several village children."
↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "A drawbridge suspended from the main gate is seemingly welcoming Michelle’s arrival. And her body was telling her [do not go] as her leg muscles were petrified like stone."
↑Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "“Uh……aa……Mi……chelle……” That really is no doubt an obsession. The youth had more than 28 holes penetrating his limbs and body. His heart is already starting to fail and he is desperately trying to say something amidst the darkness. “Only…… protect…… you……-----“ When he said those words he must say, the man’s soul already left his body-----becoming one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle. However----- Fate did not allow it. For those people who are involved with the demon castle, even the loneliness of death seemed half hearted----- The man’s soul is pierced by a small scythe that flew in from somewhere. That scythe did not exist physically. It was a diabolic blade created by some magic and possessed a strong soul."
