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 [[Dracula (Castlevania)|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 [[Vampire Killer|legendary Belmont whip]]. | |||
