Leon Belmont

“	Granting my beloved's wish. That is all I can do to prove my love to Sara. Eternity without her would be nothing but emptiness.	„
	~ Leon to Mathias Cronqvist

Background

Born in Europe, 1072, Leon Belmont grew up in a time where legendary knights fought against heretics in the name of God. At a very young age, Leon was orphaned, and then was knighted at 16 years old. Leon eventually proved his swordsmanship skills by joining a company of knights; a company of which was viewed as being nearly invincible. Within that platoon was Leon's brother-in-arms and very close friend, Mathias Cronqvist. However, Mathias soon left the company of knights and was bedridden, after the death of his wife.

Nearly a year later, Mathias came to Leon bringing news that Leon's betrothed, Sara Trantoul, had been kidnapped by a powerful vampire, and was taken to a castle in the Eternal Night forest. Distraught, Leon gave up his sword to the church and renounced his position, before travelling into the forest. There, the Belmont found a man named Rinaldo Gandolfi; an old alchemist who lived alone in the woods. Walter gave Leon plenty of advice and entrusted him with the Whip of Alchemy.

After fighting his way through the castle and making his way to Walter, however, he discovered that the whip did not hurt the vampire whatsoever. Furthermore, when he finally saw Sara, she appeared to be completely unresponsive. Leon took Sara and left Walter's castle, bringing her back to Rinaldo. Unfortunately, all Leon discovered was that Walter had turned Sara into a vampire, and that it wouldn't be long before she gave into her instincts.

Seeing no other option but ending her life, Rinaldo devised a plan. Through fusing Sara's vampiric soul with the Whip of Alchemy, he could create a much more powerful spell that would be able to harm vampires such as Walter. Agreeing to do so, Leon bound Sara's soul to the whip, transforming it into the deadly Vampire Killer. With his new whip in hand, Leon ventured back into Walter's castle, and was successful in striking him down.

At the last moment, during Walter's defeat, his soul was extracted and given to Mathias, who stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself to Leon as the puppet master behind everything. Leon, completely refusing to believe that his friend would abandon humanity in order to become a vampire, watched as Mathias summoned his servant, Death, and vanished into the night. Infuriated, Leon swore that the Belmont Clan would hunt down Mathias forevermore, and devote their days to defeating monsters of the night.

After winning his battle against Death, Leon escaped Walter's crumbling castle and left the Eternal Knight forest. From there, he went on to establish the Belmont Clan of vampire killers, and would search for Mathias until his dying days. Eventually, Leon's descendant, Trevor Belmont, would finally track down Mathias (now known as Count Dracula,) and slay him for the first time.
