The Crystal Knight |
FOUND IN:1698 - CastleVania 2: Simon's Quest Not much is known about the Crystal Knight. Found in two towns in Castlevania 2, this knight seems to be very interestedin trading various types of crystals. Gaining these crystals is vital to your quest, so this knight is rather important. |

The Master Librarian |
FOUND IN:1792 - CastleVania: Symphony of the Night 
The Long Library needs a keeper, and that is the job of the Master Librarian
in Symphony of the Night (also known as the Shopkeeper.) Most likely an
immortal (as he disappears and reappears with the castle), he is faithful to
Dracula...unless he can bought over by Alucard. |
|
Malus |
FOUND IN:1852 - CastleVania 64 
This charming little boy and very good violin player is in
all reality Dracula himself. Unknown to the hero when you first meet him,
you risk life and limb to get him out of the Villa hedge maze.
After that, you don't see the child until the Castle Center stage,
where a huge hint of who he really is will be revealed to you. If
you do not beat the game in the amount of time to recieve the good
ending, you will see Reinhart rescure the boy. If you beat it with
Carrie, he will try to court her, knowing that her powers would make
himself more powerful. If you get the good endings, Vincent will save
you by dousing Malus in holy water. |

Iris |
| FOUND IN: 1792 - Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
|
|
Lisa |
|
FOUND IN: 1792 - CastleVania: Symphony of the Night  Lisa is the only woman
in the world in which the Count Dracula has ever loved, and is the mother of
Alucard. Being pure human, she stirred up such emotion inside Count Dracula
that no one else had ever done. A medical doctor, she was treating some
victims when an angry mob lynched her, supposedly for practicing witchcraft.
Count Dracula blamed the ignorance of humans for his beloved's death, and
thus set himself on destroying them. Yet he never knew her last words:
"Do not hate humans. If you cannot live with them, do not them no harm, for
theirs is already a hard lot." |
|
Quincey Morris |
Although Quincey does not directly appear in any
Castlevania game, he is still worthy of mention, as he is a member of the
Belmont bloodline and is the father of John Morris. Quincey was an
American who joined Jonathan Harker and Dr. Van Helsing to kill Dracula, and
it was he who dug his bowie knife into the heart of Dracula. Shortly
afterward, he died of wounds inflicted by the gypsies, all while his son
John was watching his father in the distance. |
|
Renon |
FOUND IN:1852 - CastleVania 64 
This salesdemon is unknown until you reach the Villa. When you
go to the Hedge Maze the first time, you will be treated with a cut-scene
and a very polite introduction, explaining that "even in hell there is
a need for money." Whenever you find a contract, you pick it up and
Renon appears. He then opens his suitcase and you are free to buy
what you need. There is a catch to this gratuitous cache of buying,
however; if you use too much money, you will have to fight him in his
demon form before you fight Dracula. Don't spend over 30,000.... |
|
Rosa |
FOUND IN:1852 - CastleVania 64 
The beautiful girl names Rosa keeps after the flowers in the flower
garden. She waters her roses every morning at
3. There, you find out she is a vampire. Not because she's been bitten, but
Dracula's power has taken over her soul. Because of this, she doesn't make an
attempt to attack you. As Reinhart, you
have just introduced yourself to a major plot elemtent. At one point, Death takes over her mind
and has her attack you. Still, Reinhart senses something in her and doesn't
kill her. She then risks her life for you when you fight Death before the
clock tower. If you get Reinhart's good ending, you will meet her one last time. A rose
falls from the sky. When the rose touches the ground, it transforms into Rosa, but she is now
human. Her and Reinhart then watch the castle crumble together as lovers.

|
Charles Vincent |
FOUND IN:1852 - CastleVania 64 
A Van-Helsing-like vampire hunter, Charles is decked out
with almost every possible item to drive away vampires - it seems rather
ironic that he seems to spend most of his days sleeping in the castle
or wandering around in one room, giving advice to anyone else who
passed though. Once driven however, Vincent can show
his true vampire killing prowess.

left him a bit weakened, and he is kidnapped by Dracula.
|
|
Hugh Baldwin |
FOUND IN:1830 - Castlevania: Circle of the Moon 
Morris' hot-blooded son is full of potential. However, his father favors Nathan as his heir and is

dark forces within Castlevania.

|
Lydie Erlange |
FOUND IN:1748 - Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance 
A childhood friend of Juste and Maxim, this quiet girl plays a very tiny
role - simply as fodder to be captured, yet again. She is to be sacrified to
Dracula in order to fully restore his power.
|
|
The Merchant |
FOUND IN:1748 - Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance This bizarre merchant somehow ended up whisked away to Dracula's castle. Trapped inside its walls, the Merchant simply sets up shop and sells goods to any poor soul that may pass by. |
|
Mina Hakuba |
FOUND IN:2035 - Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow 
Childhood friend of Soma Cruz, Mina is a keeper of her family's shrine. When Soma and her are warped inside
the castle, she is injured and waits outside the castle gates while Soma finds a way out. Throughout the journey,
she shows support and will give an occasional hint on where to go next. She is most likely
named after Mina Harker from the Dracula novel.
|
|
Genya Arikado |
FOUND IN:2035 - Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow 
This dark-haired, business suit-clad man seems suspicious, but knows much about Soma's power. He spends most of
his time in the background, but provides help when necessary. And yes, he is who you think he is, as it is
not-so-subtly nudged at more than a few times. The kanji for "Genya" also means "illusion" and "Arikado"
means "to have horns", suggesting both that his name is a disguise, and that he is of evil lineage.
|
|
Yoko Belnades |
FOUND IN:2035 - Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow 
Descent of Sypha and Carrie, Yoko is a member of the church, though she hardly looks like a nun. Flirty and a bit
of ditz, Yoko nonetheless shares valuable information with Soma as she journeys throughout the castle.
|
|
Hammer |
FOUND IN:2035 - Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow 
Hammer was sent by the army to investigate the shrine, and was also whisked away to the castle. Confused and irritated
by this, he decides to set up shop outside of the castle and sell the various goods he had aquired. He seems brash and tough,
but that's just a cover up for his friendly demeanor.

|
Rinaldo Gandolfi |
|
FOUND IN: 1094 - Castlevania: Lament of Innocence 
Rinaldo is an alchemist who, oddly enough, lives outside of Walter's castle. Bearing a grudge against the vampire for killing his daugher, Rinaldo seeks vengeance by aiding
other hunters, as he is too old himself for any slaying. He doesn't care enough to give away his items for free, unfortunately. In spite of this, he does bestow upon Leon his whip and an enchanged gauntlet.
|
|
Sara Trantoul |
|
FOUND IN: 1094 - Castlevania: Lament of Innocence 
Sara is Leon's fiancee, and is once again a damsel in distress, kidnapped by Walter. (highlight for spoilers) When she is rescued, Sara divulges she has already been bitten by Walter and is doomed. Only by sacrificing herself to be entwined with the sacred whip can Walter be striken down.
|
|
Elisabetha Cronqvist |
|
FOUND IN: 1094 - Castlevania: Lament of Innocence 
Matthias' wife who falls ill and dies before the game begins. She's never actually in the game, other than the prologue storyline. However, she bears a resemblance to Lisa, Dracula's future wife, for reasons that haven't fully been explained.
|
Kidnapped in both versions of Dracula X, Annette Renard,
Richter's girlfriend, is used as bait to lure Richter in Dracula's foreboding
clutches. As an even more dastardly deed, if you fail to rescue her in the
SNES version, the evil spirits will possess her and she will turn into
a witch, attacking on the top of the Clock Tower. If you save her, then
you'll get the good ending. Since Maria is referred to as Richter's
sister-in-law in Symphony of the Night, it can be assumed that the couple
was married and she became Annette Belmont. 
Although the Ferryman is most likely modeled after Charon, the boatman over
the River Styx (the waterway to Hell) he still seems to be a human. Although
unsure whether his life is eternal or whether he is a mortal, the Ferryman
will ultimately prove to aid adventurers, if they show the correct items.In Castlevania 2, the Ferryman will transport you across rivers, and
sometimes can only be persuaded to go certain places if you have proof of
your powers (like finding Dracula's heart.) In Dracula X Duo, he will
appear hidden a few times to transport you, and will take you through
underwater caves in Symphony of the Night (but will only open an underwater
door if you have the Mermaid Statue.) He mutters cryptic phrases like
"Sure! I'll take you to a good place!" and "I'll take you to meet your
destiny!" 
Iris is a minor character that was kidnapped in Dracula X D
uo. The daughter of the town doctor, Iris will treat the wounds of Richter
or Maria when they come to break her out of her hidden cell, underneath a
bridge in level 4'. 
Cornell calls Ada his sister, though in reality, they
are not blood-related. She was adopted by him at a very young age after
her family was killed by his man-beast tribe, and Cornell feels more
connection with her than anybody else. She is the driving force behind
Cornell's quest into Castlevania.
The son of Christopher Belmont. On his fourteenth
birthday, a sacred ritual was held that granted him the title
of Vampire Hunter. During the night, Dracula swept into his
bedroom and used these special powers to give him more strength,
turning Solieyu into an evil demon and capturing him in the progess.
It was Christopher's job to find him and bring his son back. Near
the extremes of Dracula's castle, a possessed Solieyu fought his
father, but Christopher drove away the evil powers controlling him.
Tera is another character, like Iris, that was kidnapped
by Dracula is his raidings of the town. A nun at the church, Tera spends
her time praying in her cell hidden underneath a cemetary in level 3',
until Richter or Maria comes to rescue her.
