	This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.

Background

Quincy Morris is a referenced character in Castlevania: Bloodlines, known as the father of John Morris and grandfather of Jonathan Morris.

In 1897, Quincy successfully killed Count Dracula but sustained fatal injuries during the confrontation.

The Japanese version of Castlevania: Bloodlines (Vampire Killer) and its U.S. release present slight differences in Quincy's story. Both versions agree that Quincy was responsible for Dracula’s demise in 1897, but some details were altered during English localization.

According to Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin—a direct sequel to Bloodlines—Quincy passed the Vampire Killer whip to his son, John Morris, implying he had wielded it in his fight against Dracula. However, it is unclear if Quincy was aware of the life-draining effect the whip had on non-Belmonts. It is speculated that this might have contributed to his death, similar to John’s eventual fate. In this version, there is no indication that John and Eric Lecarde witnessed the battle between Quincy and Dracula.

In the American version, Quincy’s method of defeating Dracula differs. He is described as driving a wooden stake through Dracula’s heart and dying from his injuries. Additionally, it is explicitly stated that John and Eric secretly observed the fight from the shadows.

Richter also showcases this with his boss fight in Dracula X where he must jump across platforms while also fighting against Dracula.

Pain Immunity Nullification; The Vampire Killer can make the White Dragon visibly react to pain and scream out in pain, where it is an immortal being immune to pain and suffering), Regeneration Negation (Holy; Christopher with the Vampire Killer injured Dracula to the point that his powers were greatly depleted and he was unable to do things like simply transform back into "human" form. Juste with the Vampire Killer could permanently kill Dracula's Wraith to where he'll fade from the world for good who regenerated from the complete destruction of his body), Immortality Negation (Ageless & Life and Death Immunity; The Vampire Killer can render immortal skeleton death gods like Death, mortal, having him bleed from attacks, giving him mortality as shown when Death dies to his own scythe cutting off his head and having blood spurt out, something not possible as a skeleton.

This is even shown in Lament of Innocence, once Leon has the vampire killer. This is even shown in graphic novels such as Belmonts Legacy), Explosion Manipulation (Trevor swinging the whip at the ground caused the ground to explode), Memory Manipulation & Soul Manipulation (The Vampire Killer holds the souls of the many Belmonts who once wilded it, the Vampire Killer could also possibly hold the souls of Belmonts who have not even touched it yet, as it was originally planned to have it summon Julius from the future but they ultimately didn't go with the idea), Lifeforce Absorption (Even if the The Vampire Killer accepts one as its master, it still chips away at one's life force with every lash.

Equipment

• Vampire Killer: The complete form of the Whip of Alchemy, infused with the soul of Sara Trantoul. It can slay anything related to the vampires. This whip would be passed down to the rest of the Belmont Clan, and used to slay Dracula countless times.

---

Other

Standard Tactics: As his passage is very briefly explained, it is unknown what his standard tactics are, though being a descendant of the Belmont Clan, Quincy likely utilized the whip along with potential sub-weapons.

Weaknesses: Overuse of the Vampire Killer will drain a Morris' lifeforce.

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.
• The renders used for Quincy Morris comes from Vampire Survivors Ode to Castlevania DLC as it is the closest official art of Qunincy we have.

Trivia

Differences in the game manuals

• Quincy Morris is referred to as "Kincy Morris" in the Castlevania: The New Generation (the European release of Castlevania: Bloodlines) instruction booklet.
• In the Japanese and European Bloodlines instruction booklets, Quincy's death is not mentioned to have been witnessed by John and Eric like it is in the English booklet.

Differences from the Novels

• His name in Castlevania is slightly different, as he is Quincy instead of Quincey.
• In the novel, Quincey Morris plunges his Bowie knife through Dracula's heart, while in the series, it is believed that he used the Vampire Killer whip (original Japanese lore), or that he plunged a wooden stake through Dracula's heart (English localization).
• Early sketches by Bram Stoker imply the novel's events taking place at most in 1893, while in the series, they happen in 1897 (it was the novel itself which was published in 1897).
• In the novel, Dracula wishes to relive war times via vampirization of humans, while in the series, his goal is the extinction of humankind.
• Quincy has a son in the series, something nonexistent in the novel. Instead, one of the characters names their child after Quincy due to his death.
• Quincy very obviously is not a relative of any Belmont Clan in the original novel, along with this he does not possess superhuman strength.
