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


Finally, I have my answer: My power is more than just this whip.
~ Simon Belmont

I will show you the might of House Belmont.
~ Simon Belmont

You took it easy on me... The strength of a Belmont... No... The strength of a vampire hunter is greater than this.
~ Soma Cruz to Julius Belmont

Introduction

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 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 Judgment, Simon Belmont constantly refers to the powers of the Belmont family, as well as confirming that his abilities spawn from more than just the legendary Belmont whip.

Uses

Resistances

The Castle Abilities Include:

This dropdown contains the abilities of Dracula's Castle

Reality Warping (The Castle does not work on standard logic, where changing rooms can have one view a completely different background[124], such as room with a blue sky that is reflecting up and downwards and having the clouds rotate at a fast speed[125]), Transmutation (Beings that come near are subject to the castle's influence, such as a local barnyard owl which was mutated just from flying near it[126]), Possession (The castle possesses objects with its magic, such as a ouija table[127]), Sealing (Dracula's magic captured Aguni, a primitive god of fire[128]. The Castle has doors sealed off without solving puzzles[129]. This can extend to walls being sealed off where explosions will not affect it until the seal is gone[130]), Mind Manipulation (Everything that enters the castle is under the control by the power of Dracula's castle[131], the ghost of Eric Lecarde needed to cast a magic barrier to bind himself so he could be free from the control of the castle[132]. The Castle corrupts the minds of those who enter it, such as making Maxim Kischine feel strange ever since coming to it[133]. It also corrupted the mind of Hugh turning him against Nathan with Nathan noting he's being controlled by Dracula[134]. The castle increases one's dark desires, allowing Dracula to easily control them[135]. The magic of Dracula's power that empowers the owl enemy also spurs it to violence[136]), Madness Manipulation (The Castle warped Gergoth, a once-gentle beast and drove it mad[137]), Size Manipulation (Magically enlarged a toad through the use of demonic baptism[138]), Fear Manipulation (Even while far away, Curtis and Michelle felt malicious intent from the castle where their bodies seemed to squeal "run away"[139]. Michelle even being at the entrance to the castle had her body telling her to not go in and her leg muscles being petrified like stone[140]), Curse Manipulation (The Curse status that spirits inflict[141] comes from them absorbing the magic power around the castle. The Castle cursed a human to turn into a lizard man[142]), Life Manipulation (The castle can bring inanimate statues to life to attack[143]. Can cause the glass murals to come to life and attack[144]), Soul Manipulation (Those that die in the castle become one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle for eternity[145]), Abstract Manipulation & Hell Manipulation (The castle can create a core of evil made from hatred, envy, anger and other dark emotions[146]), Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power[147], where is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos[148] where creatures of the night's dark powers allowed them to rewrite the Grimoires to strengthen their dark powers greatly[149], along with their vital souls causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle[150], or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires[151], Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten[152], where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world[153]. The text alterations also make the monsters stronger[154]. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal"[155], compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"[156]. Death was going to use Dracula's magic to rewrite Dracula's defeat to Trevor making it where Dracula defeats Trevor Belmont instead where Dracula would go on living in the rewritten grimoire with each grimoire being its own world and the grimoires influence extends into reality[157]), Law Manipulation (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power[158], which alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality[159]), Power Modification (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power[160], which the vital souls cause alterations of the Grimoire that can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations[161]. The Chaos of the Grimoire destabilized the magic of the others[162])

    “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.”
  28. 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].”

    “…… If so, why did you take power away from the crack in the eclipse’s seal? If you just intend to imitate like a monkey, isn’t your own power enough?”
    Those were the emotionless words of Death.
    In response, Olrox laughed his bold answer.
    “As I’ve said, I would equally gain control over the human world and the source of Dracula’s power, chaos. I do not intend to obey someone else’s mind aside from my own. That includes you who were born out of chaos.”
    “……”
    “You should be glad though to know yourself. Just by stealing power, my shameful monotonous time is over…… Even before Alucard appeared, just because I showed up and declared war on him.”
    Olrox’s voice was mixed with a tinge of thin delight. He respectfully bowed to Death who completely killed his emotions.
    “I would end the reincarnation cycle of this demon castle. I who understood and was spun out of the stains of chaos, swear to rob that power with my hands. Now, yield.”
    With Death’s reply, an explosive murderous intent rose.
    Two bronze colored scythes much larger than usual appeared; it advanced to the space in between the two men with an intention to cut off Olrox’s head.
    Kill the distance-----
    Kill the sound-----
    Just, faster, soon, die.
    It can be seen that the blades have certainly caught Olrox’s neck, but----- that is only an after image and the vampire is already at Death’s back.
    “……die.”
    That was said by the enemy who called on his servants.
    From the surrounding space, a group of purple bats rose, passed by Olrox’s arm with the speed of a bullet, attacking Death. However, Death did not show any gesture of avoiding them. He simply faced Olrox and sprayed out numerous scythes.
    The bats and scythes cancelled each other out and the entire dance hall sparkled with blood."

    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."
