Desmond Belmont
From The Codex
| “ | There will always be a Belmont waiting to send you back to hell. | „ |
| ~ Desmond Belmont to Count Dracula |
Background
Desmond Belmont was born to the Belmont Clan during the 1600s, alongside his sisters Zoe and Dolores Belmont, as the son of Soleil Belmont. Desmond exists in an alternate timeline to the main continuity, although for unknown reasons, as his game doesn’t present any contradictions or alternative events that would make it not fit.
Much like the rest of the male members of the Belmont Clan, Desmond was raised to be a powerful hunter of the night, and thus became incredibly proficient in using a variety of weapons; including swords, knives, axes, crosses, and the Belmont’s trademark whips.
However, when Desmond and his sisters were still fairly young, their father caught wind of a powerful group of Dracula worshippers that called themselves the Order of Shadows. Soleil took the Vampire Killer and made his way into the mansion where the Order of Shadows resided, but was fatally wounded by the leader of the Order, Rohan Krause.
Soleil made his way back to his three children and, before dying, passed the Belmont family’s legendary Vampire Killer whip down to Desmond. Many years passed and the Belmont kids grew into competent young adults; at last, they were prepared to take down the Order of Shadows.
Desmond, Zoe, and Dolores ventured into the cursed mansion in which the Order resided; Zoe and Dolores sought for the chamber in which Rohan resided, while Desmond destroyed as many monsters as he could. Eventually, Zoe discovered a powerful relic that had once belonged to the Belmont’s, but fell into the hands of the Order. This was the gauntlet of Leon Belmont, which had been blessed with alchemy by Rinaldo Gandolfi. Desmond reclaimed this artifact and wore it, granting alchemic powers unto him.
At long last, Zoe and Dolores discovered the hiding place of Rohan Krause, and Desmond immediately headed inside. After Rohan taunted Desmond’s dad and claimed the Vampire Killer whip would be useless, a battle ensued. Much to Rohan’s surprise, Desmond was able to strike him down. With his dying breath, Rohan used his own blood to resurrect Count Dracula, and Dracula’s Castle rose once again.
With absolutely no time to waste, Desmond rushed into Dracula’s Castle and stormed his way through it, mowing down enemy after enemy before coming to the Dark Lord himself. Dracula admitted that he was not at full strength, but conceded that he should still be able to win.
Desmond mustered all the power he could and struck down the Dark Lord, who stated that he would always return no matter what. Assuring Dracula that there would always be a Belmont waiting for him to send him back to hell, he struck him one final time with the Vampire Killer, and ended the conflict.
With everything finally over, Desmond took Zoe and Dolores and left the crumbling castle. He would go on to continue the Belmont bloodline, presumably becoming the father of the legendary Simon Belmont.

Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Every Belmont is capable of preforming feats such as casually moving large blocks, and defeating monsters without any stat enhancers), Acrobatics (Every Belmont is able to leap from platform to platform without much difficulty, and are able to preform front and backflips. They can even do platforming while simultaneously fighting monsters), Weapon Mastery (All members of the Belmont Clan are naturally gifted in wielding several different types of weapons. This ranges from their proficiency with a whip, to their perfect aim with throwing knives and axes. They're also incredibly skilled with cross-shaped boomerangs, and jars of holy water), H2H Proficiency (The Belmonts are trained fighters who have shown the ability to fight even without a weapon.

For instance, Rinaldo confirmed that the Whip of Alchemy is not complete, and yet Leon Belmont caused for it to strengthen to the point that Medusa thought it had reached its complete form), Accelerated Development (The Belmonts can learn things at a much faster rate than regular people. For instance, when Leon Belmont was granted the ability to use magic by Rinaldo Gandolfi, he was then able to preform magic spells without any knowledge of how the spells themselves worked), Social Influencing (The Belmont Clan was feared by society for their powers, and as such were ostracized from civilization. Later, when Simon Belmont rescued Transylvania from Count Dracula, the people were so moved that they formed a village around him), Dimensional Storage (Can hold tons of equipment and items in their pouch), Telekinesis (Belmonts are able to control the arc of their weapons and how they move around. For instance, Soleil Belmont could control the movement of his thrown swords), Reactive Evolution (As Dracula grows stronger with ever resurrection, the Belmont Clan has had to reactively grow stronger to keep up with him), Corruption Negation (Type 3; The Belmont Clan can undo Dracula's magical corruption of humans. For instance, Trevor Belmont reverted Grant Danasty back into a human after defeating him, who had been transformed into a monster by Dracula's magic), Soul Manipulation & Power Mimicry (When a Belmont defeats an opponent of equal or greater strength, they will harness their soul and use their abilities as sub-weapons. Only Sonia Belmont has previously-captured spirits, though every Belmont should have this ability), Invulnerability (The Belmont Clan is able to make themselves temporarily invincible with Burning Mode. Although only Sonia Belmont has shown this ability, it's described as an inborn ability, meaning the other members of the Belmont Clan should possess it)

It can shoot projectile fireballs), Power Nullification (Sealing the Vampire Killer within Dracula's Castle caused for Dracula's spirit and magic powers to weaken tremendously), Regeneration Negation (Low-High; The Vampire Killer can kill Dracula, who is capable of fully regenerating from just blood.
