"Mature Content"
This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.
We have risked our lives and fought for the sake of God... But God mercilessly stole away the one I love most... When all I ever wished for was Elisabetha's safety!! If limited life is God's decree, then I shall defy it!! And within that eternity, I shall curse Him forevermore!
The powerful always judge the weak. The humans made their judgement of me, as well. Thus I sentenced them... to extinction. Sympathy is merely a form of weakness. You betrayed me, Hector... And for that, the punishment is death.
Welcome, welcome! It's been many years since I've seen the face of a Belmont. Please excuse my appearance. I was not prepared to be woken from my slumber. Something wrong, nothing to say? No matter. Maybe I should thank you for helping Rohan compelte the sacrifice and return me to the world of the living. It matters not. But don't you know I'm ehre thanks to your work with Krause? Perhaps I've said too much. Well, it will not matter.. Not after I've consumed your life force.
„
“
I am eternal, neither you nor any of your descendants will ever defeat me.
It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is a greed of humanity which calls me back. And thus, by might, I rule. Might becomes the one and only justice in this world!
Count Dracula, formerly known as Mathias Cronqvist, is the main overarching antagonist of the Castlevania series, appearing in every title to date. Once a simple tactician, Mathias lost his beloved, Elisabetha, which fueled his hatred into becoming the immortal vampire Dracula. For the next several hundred years, Dracula would lead attacks on humanity, while being fought off by the Belmont Clan of Vampire Hunters.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Count Dracula’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Mathias Cronqvist, born in 1062, was a member of the legendary Cronqvist family. Born in a time where the world was lacking in education, the Cronqvist family stood out as a beacon of incredible knowledge; the family orally passed down teachings of alchemy and magic, which eventually ended up in Mathias’ hands. Mathias, possibly the smartest and most prodigious of his family, wrote down these teachings in a notebook and studied them for years.
Years passed and Mathias quickly became friends with a young knight named Leon Belmont. With Mathias fighting for the church as a master tactician, and Leon fighting as an unrivaled swordsman, they made their company of knights nigh-invincible. However, one fateful day, Mathias received news that his wife, Elisabetha, died from illness. Horribly wounded by this news, Mathias headed home and was bedridden.
During his time alone and suffering from horrible grief, Mathias’ mind began to twist. Realizing that all he ever prayed for during his expeditions was Elisabetha’s continued safety, he grew to develop a deep hatred of God for taking away the only thing he ever asked to keep safe. Using his immense intelligence that surpassed nearly everyone on Earth, Mathias devised a master plan.
Losing all ties to his friends, blinded by his grief and anger towards God, Mathias used everyone he needed to use in order to realize his goals; he used Leon Belmont, Leon’s betrothed Sara Trantoul, the alchemist Rinaldo Gandolfi, and even the vampire king Walter Bernhard, to finally obtain a powerful relic known as the Crimson Stone. The Crimson Stone was a godly relic written about in alchemic text, which Mathias had studied and finally obtained.
Absorbing Walter’s vampiric soul into the Stone, and then absorbing the stone itself, Mathias’ power grew immensely; not only did he gain vampiric powers from Walter’s soul, but also eternal life, which he would use to spite God’s decree of mortals having limited life. Furthermore, because he was the embodiment of everything that opposed God’s order and law, Mathias’ power source became the primordial entity, Chaos. And, due to becoming the King of the Crimson Stone and the Dark Lord, the entity known as Death became subservient to him.
Although Leon knew he had to defeat Mathias, the vampire quickly escaped and left Death to deal with his old friend. From that day on, Mathias had kickstarted a blood feud between him and his former brother-in-arms; and the Belmont Clan would go on to hunt Mathias for the next several centuries.
Eventually, as Mathias continued to plague the lands as the Dark Lord, he went to change his name to Dracula Vlad Ţepeş; widely known to the public as Count Dracula. He continued his hatred of God as a bitter, immortal man, until one day he came across a woman known as Lisa. Dracula was shocked by how much Lisa fully accepted him, and how much she bore resemblance to his former wife, Elisabetha.
Slowly but surely, Dracula warmed up to Lisa and let her into his life, and the two got married. They bore a child together who possessed the powers of a vampire but the heart of a human, named Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş. Their family lived very happily for a time, until the church caught on to Lisa’s marriage to the Dark Lord. Lisa was quickly taken and crucified in front of her son, Adrian, though Dracula was away at the time.
However, when Dracula eventually found out about her murder, he was infuriated. Yet another wife, another person he let into his life and fully loved, taken away from him. Unstoppably infuriated, Dracula turned his hatred from not only being on God, to humanity as a whole. This is what truly sparked Count Dracula’s war on humanity.
Because of this war, the Belmont Clan was alerted and rushed to the Transylvanian countryside to finally take out Dracula. Trevor Belmont, teaming with several other powerful warriors (including Dracula’s son, who now went by Alucard,) confronted Count Dracula and was the first one to slay him.
Dracula was killed, but this would only be the first of many times. For the next five hundred or so years, the Dark Lord would be resurrected and slayed by vampire hunters time and time again.
Malus is the reincarnation of the Dark Lord, Count Dracula. In the year 1844, when Dracula was facing off against the man-beast, Cornell, Dracula forced Cornell to shed his beast form in order to rescue his adoptive sister, Ada. Thanks to this, Count Dracula was able to snatch Cornell’s man-beast powers, and died with them after Cornell struck him down.
After Dracula’s death, his servants were able to recover Cornell’s man-beast powers that he had snatched, and used those powers to ensure that Dracula would reincarnate into a new body. Sure enough, a young boy with blue hair was born to a couple in a forest cabin under a blood moon; Malus.
By the time Malus turned eight years old, he realized that he was Dracula reincarnated, but knew that he could not recover his full power and form, lest he reveal his presence to vampire hunters before he is ready. Because of this, Malus lamented that someone of his power had to have gone through childhood again.
Eventually, Dracula’s servants began kidnapping children and bringing them to Dracula’s Castle, as it was prophesied that the child Dark Lord would reveal himself in the castle. This included Malus, who saw the opportunity as a way to lure in vampire hunters and deceive them.
Eventually, his plans come to fruition, as the church sends in vampire hunters like Henry Oldrey and Reinhardt Schneider, along with the young Carrie Fernandez, to rescue these children and destroy the castle. Reinhardt and Carrie in particular come in contact with Malus, who he successfully deceives into growing closer with him.
However, after Reinhardt and Carrie destroy who they believe to be Count Dracula, Malus reveals himself by shooting at them with a bow & arrow, from atop a dark pegasus. Reinhardt and Carrie are both shocked as Malus is finally able to reveal his true identity, and ages himself into an adult form that can contain his full powers.
Malus and the vampire hunters face off in a legendary battle, with Malus even transporting them to an alternate realm and taking the form of a horrid dragon-like beast in order to stop them. However, Malus was unsuccessful in the battle, and was struck down. At last, the Dark Lord was defeated once more.
Eventually, the day came in 1999, when Dracula was revived at his peak of strength. A massive war began, between Dracula’s forces and the armies of mankind. Spearheading the charge on the side of mortals was Julius Belmont; a distant descendant of Mathias’ old friend, Leon.
Julius reached Dracula and finally slayed the Dark Lord for good, sealing him away in the lunar eclipse, along with the Belmont Clan’s legendary weapon, the Vampire Killer whip; the Vampire Killer being sealed alongside Dracula’s soul would serve as a magical seal, keeping him away for the rest of time.
For the first time in the past 900 years, Dracula was dead with no way to resurrect himself. As a result, with no other option, Dracula and his powers were reincarnated into a new body completely unaware of his past. This new body was that of a Japanese high-schooler named Soma Cruz, who would spend the majority of his teen years trying to suppress Dracula’s dark powers from taking control of him.
However, Soma would finally find the source of Dracula’s power in the Chaotic Realm, with the entity known as Chaos. Directly challenging it and taking it out, Soma finally ended the source of the Dark Lord’s power, and the book closed on a long saga of hatred and grief.

Castlevania: Being the true master of the Demon Castle and having a connection with Chaos, Dracula's resurrection allows the castle to appear anywhere and anytime he desires. As long as Chaos exists, the castle cannot be destroyed.
Chaotic Realm: The Chaotic Realm is the source of darkness and only Dracula can enter this specific dimension. Dracula and his reincarnation, Soma Cruz, are the only ones recorded to have ever entered the Chaotic Realm. This realm also sports demons of various kinds that will bow to Dracula's will.
Crimson Stone: The Crimson Stone is one of the two items that were an accidental biproduct of attempts to create the Philosopher's Stone, this item gives Dracula power over Death, with Death having complete allegiance to Dracula.
Ebony Stone: The stone originally wielded by Walter, it allows one invulnerability, making one unable to be harmed by any attack. The only such weapon shown capable of stopping this, is the Vampire Killer.

Dracula’s Fang: Count Dracula's fang, which increases Dracula's defense.
Transformation: Vampires are able to turn into bats, wolves, fog, and other sorts of creatures as they please.
Super Strength: Vampires are incredibly superhumanely strong, even ofr the average creature of the night, being noted to be stronger then even Werewolves.
Super Speed: Vampires can move incredibly fast, to where all of them leave behind light projections due to how fast they're moving, while they can control their speeds to even approach speeds such as sound. They are normally beyond even other creatures in the castle such as the White Demon who moves at the speed of light at top speed.
Power of Dominance: Dracula's primary ability allows him to absorb defeated monster's souls and enslave them. This power was the one that Soma Cruz, Dracula's incarnation, inherited along with Dracula's soul. While Soma can only summon monsters for a short amount of time due to his low magical power, Dracula can fully utilize this ability with infinite power from the stream of Chaos he commands.
Obedient Creatures: Creatures of the night are sensitive to the flow of darkness and are attracted to its source. Those attracted will not hesitate to serve the commander of darkness. Some of these creatures are bats, wolves, owls, slimes, ravens, crows, black panthers, worms, caterpillars, toads, frogs, and many other smaller but numerous creatures that have entered and lived at some point under the Dark Lord's presence.
Power over Humanity: Dracula's power has been shown to have an effect on human behavior. Dracula's Curse, in fact, drove many humans insane, and sent them into a murderous rage. Dracula has also shown abilities to control humans without possessing them, for example, in Harmony of Despair, his charm spell, when making contact with a female, would temporarily strip them of their will and put them under his control.
Dark Magic Mastery: From his earlier life as Mathias Cronqvist, Dracula mastered various dark arts, especially alchemy, which he studied to a unique depth. His spell arsenal includes:
Hellfire: A spell that releases a barrage of fireballs from his cloak; an alternate form summons flames erupting from the ground.
Dark Inferno: Magma-like fireballs cast from his cloak; unlike Hellfire, these meteors are indestructible.
Dark Metamorphosis: A spell that amplifies Dracula's blood-draining abilities, allowing him to draw life force from a simple touch.
Soul Steal: A spell that many fear. Soul Steal is used by Dracula to kill and absorb their energy for Dracula's use. One version of the spell has an area of effect around the caster. It can affect multiple victims multiple times in one cast. Another version drains the life out of Dracula's victims by mere touch, which is why many fear this spell. It is also referred to as Life Steal. In rare cases, namely when he has to use Soul Steal or the Power of Dominance to assume his true form due to not being at full power via a fresh revival, he also incorporates elements of the soul he absorbed (for instance, when transforming via absorbing Death, he incorporates traits of Death into his form, such as armored growths that resemble bones).
Blood Storm: Perhaps as a way of mocking the Belmonts' powers, Dracula, when facing Richter Belmont, could make it rain blood, and being caught in it causes heavy damage.
Dominus Hatred / Fatal Ray: Dracula summons seven green rays of dark energy that fly upward from his body. After a moment, the rays fall, covering the entire area although leaving some spaces between where the player can dodge them. He uses this attack in various games, including Castlevania Chronicles and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, and is commonly used by his true form, although its most prominent appearance is in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
Destruction Ray: A dire version of the Fatal Ray. Dracula summons seven purple rays of dark energy that fly upward from his body, but this time they fall following the player's movement.
Demonic Megiddo: Dracula's ultimate dark spell. Two versions of this attack exist. The first, and more common version has a shorter charging time and allows Dracula to charge demonic runes that become a giant black fireball. Dracula can throw it at his victim and will incinerate them with demonic fire. The second version is a gigantic explosion, with Dracula as its nucleus. The explosion radiates from him, dealing heavy damage with a high likelihood of killing his opponent. However, the second version requires a longer time to charge, giving enough time to either escape or defeat him before he can use it while draining Dracula's health. In Order of Ecclesia, it is shown that Dracula can sustain it for as long as he desires, while in Harmony of Despair, its effect is shown to cease.
Command Over Death: By wielding the Crimson Stone, Dracula gained the complete loyalty of Death, who remains his closest confidant and ally. Together, they can perform combined attacks in Portrait of Ruin, including:
Flame Sickle: Death summons scythes that Dracula transforms into meteors, much like those in Dark Inferno.
Demonic Megiddo (Scythe Version): Death assists by transforming his scythe, allowing Dracula to create a smaller, quicker Demonic Megiddo attack.
True Dracula's Scythes: If Death is defeated, he can be absorbed by Dracula, allowing him to transform into his True Form. One of True Dracula’s attacks then involves hurling Death’s Scythe at opponents.
Other
Standard Tactics: Dracula normally does not fight himself but instead has one journey and navigate throughout the entire castle as he sits in the throne room building strength, if the person is able to succeed in this, he will then fight them himself, whcih will result in him teleporting around and using various different energy projectiles, whether Curtain Fire or homing projectiles. If the opponent is too strong, he will call upon the powers of Chaos to gain a far stronger form in order to deal with the threat at hand, warping and breaking down reality in the process.
Mr. Akamatsu also explained how the rotating gears in Dracula's castle represent his heart. They turn so long as Dracula is alive. That's the reason why in the ending of Castlevania the clock tower collapses, but the rest of the castle remains.
In the best ending of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, a hand emerges from Dracula's grave after the ending narration, implying that he returned regardless. However, this was retconned with the next chronological game in the franchise, Harmony of Dissonance, where it was made clear that Dracula was still dead fifty years later.
Originally, in the Japanese version of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, along with selling his own soul to increase his powers, Dracula also sold Alucard's, an act that turned his son into a vampire.[978] This was later retconned with the inclusion of Lisa to the storyline, making Alucard into a dhampir from birth. Along with Dracula's true power source being Chaos.
His sprite in the game particularly resembles the piece "Lucifer Waiting for the Last Judgment" from Livre de la Vigne Nostre Signeur (c. 1450-1470). Apart from having a secondary face/mouth on the stomach area, he also has two additional smaller faces on his shoulders, and the characteristic pose of his legs is nearly identical to the artwork.
On this note, it's worth mentioning that Dracula's title, Maō (魔王, "Demon King") has sometimes been translated as "Satan" in some games, based on some Japanese Bible translations, implying both being the same entity or at least to play a similar role (for example, in Order of Ecclesia, he is referred to as Maō Dorakyura (魔王ドラキュラ, "Demon King Dracula")).
Although Dracula's portrait artwork for Symphony of the Night depicts him with yellow eyes, his in-game dialogue portrait depicts them as glowing red (via superimposed graphics over Ayami Kojima's original design).
His artwork as Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was slightly altered from its original appearance, removing all traces of blood. This was likely done to avoid raising the game's age rating, as Symphony of the Night has a higher age rating than Ultimate in all regions.
In Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Dracula appears as the final boss in Pac-Man's Classic Mode due to the fact that he is chronologically the first SSBU boss who appeared in a video game (in the very first Castlevania game). Similarly, he appears as the final boss in Luigi's Classic Mode as a subtle reference to the Luigi's Mansion subseries in the Mario franchise, which dealt with a similar premise to Castlevania regarding combating supernatural horrors in a haunted building (coincidentally, haunted mansions playing a key role in Simon's Quest). He also acts as a standard boss for Sephiroth's Classic Mode, as a subtle reference to how both characters acted as final bosses of their respective games (Dracula to various Castlevania games, and Sephiroth for Final Fantasy VII). Ironically enough, it also indirectly and unintentionally referenced Alucard's fights against Dracula in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Symphony of the Night and Julius Mode in Dawn of Sorrow, due to Sephiroth having a similar physical appearance to Alucard.
