-->-- '''[[Characters/CastlevaniaDracula Dracula]]''', ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood Rondo of Blood]]''

[[Characters/CastlevaniaTheBelmontClan The Belmont clan]] and their many allies have worked hard to [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} rid the world of the horrible night]], but even so, {{Dracula}} and many others have proven themselves [[MagnificentBastard clever, stylish adversaries in the face of their efforts]].

* [[Characters/CastlevaniaDracula Dracula]] was once a genius strategist named [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence Mathias Cronqvist]]. Enraged at God when the love of his life died, Mathias manipulated his best friend Leon Belmont into defeating the vampire Walter Bernhard by having Leon's fiancee kidnapped and eventually sacrificed to create the "Vampire Killer". Stealing Walter's soul and taking the name Dracula, the new lord of the undead proved his mastery over the night until he lost his second wife Lisa at the hands of the humans. Continuing his war with the Belmont Clan and his and Lisa's heroic son Alucard for centuries, Dracula constantly shows himself a brilliant schemer: in the [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIBelmontsRevenge late 1500s]], Dracula fakes his demise after Christopher Belmont defeats him so he can secretly corrupt Christopher's son and pit him against his father; [[VideoGame/Castlevania64 in 1852]], Dracula manipulates the entire cast in the form of a child named Malus while using a disposable BodyDouble to distract the heroes; [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaBloodlines and in the early 1900s]], he uses the chaos of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI to spread his influence and worship all across Europe. Tenaciously returning to life again and again when seemingly beaten, throughout all of his appearances Dracula never loses his trademark [[ManOfWealthAndTaste style or charm]].

* [[Characters/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadowDracula Dracula]] was once the heroic [[BrokenAce Gabriel Belmont]], a champion of the light who saved the world from the fallen angel Satan himself before [[FallenHero succumbing to the darkness]]. Deciding to remake the world, Dracula declares war on the Brotherhood of Light and destroys their champion, which leads to his confronting and killing his own son Trevor unknowingly, which later causes Trevor to rise as the vampire Alucard. Playing the villain to strengthen his grandson Simon, [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow2 Dracula later enacts a plan with Alucard to destroy their enemies]], the evil Lord of Shadow Zobek and the original Prince of Darkness Satan: allowing himself to be impaled and placed in hibernation for centuries, Dracula [[BatmanGambit knows Zobek will awaken him to destroy Satan]], and when Dracula regains his memory, he and Alucard can destroy both. Even at the end, Dracula shows why he is the supreme lord of darkness and chosen one of God simultaneously by destroying Zobek and even taking advantage of Satan's cowardly nature by fooling him into believing that he's willing to kill his son again to trick the angel into fleeing from Alucard's body, before finishing him for good.

** [[WellIntentionedExtremist Hector]] is a [[MakerOfMonsters Devil Forgemaster]] who came into Dracula's service due to his desire to cull humanity's worst elements. Though initially easily deceived by Carmilla in a plot that leads to Dracula's death and enslaved by Carmilla's sister Lenore, Hector abandons his naive nature and begins plotting against the [[Characters/Castlevania2017StyrianCouncil Styrian Council]]. Hector proceeds in planning the bulk of Dracula's resurrection, stalling the Styrians' plans, and preparing traps and escape routes in the event of emergency, even noticing that something's off about a well-disguised Death. Upon the arrival of Dracula's vengeful ally Isaac, Hector traps Lenore in a magical cage and freely offers his life to Isaac before making peace with him when he realizes Isaac is not here to kill him. Hector then improvises his escape route into a path straight for Carmilla's death to save the world from her and cuts off his own finger to aid Isaac along that path, all while keeping a calm demeanor. After a lifetime of torment and abuse, Hector [[EarnYourHappyEnding creates his own happiness]], vowing to write a book to keep others from making his mistakes.
** [[UnholyMatrimony Striga and Morana]] are two members of the Sisterhood of Styria and a pair of ruthless and brilliant vampire lovers who [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes treasure one another dearly]]. While Morana is the careful strategist, Striga is a general and tactician, with both working to make Carmilla's mad schemes into feasible reality. The two devise a plan to subjugate the humans of Styria and Europe, launching campaigns to pacify them, with Striga rallying her vampire forces to crush an uprising and save Morana's life with her own personal day armor. Realizing that humanity will never cease resisting, the two turn on Carmilla's schemes before realizing their lead sister is dead. Deciding how to best ingratiate themselves in a decapitated Styria, Striga and Morana opt to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere set off together]], affirming their love and deciding all they need for the future is one another.

* [[UndyingLoyalty Isaac]] is a Devil Forgemaster who begins as Dracula's last friend and [[HypercompetentSidekick ruthlessly competent lieutenant]]. An abused servant until he killed his master, Isaac believes the world will only know love once all humanity is purged. To this end, Isaac revives corpses as monsters for [[Characters/Castlevania2017DraculasArmy Dracula's army]] while effortlessly deposing of would-be threats to Dracula like Godbrand, with such efficiency even Dracula is never aware of the threat in the first place. After Dracula's death, Isaac continues his war on humanity, expanding his army through a path of slaughter that he ends by defeating a magician who's enslaved an entire town. Isaac's repeated experiences with the better side of humanity led to him questioning and eventually [[HeelFaceTurn abandoning his mission]], putting Dracula's memory to peace and deciding to embrace a brighter future, all while he simultaneously mounts a successful invasion of Styria that ends with the demise of the wicked, treacherous Carmilla and Styria conquered by his own hand.

* [[Characters/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadowAlucard Alucard]], formerly known as Trevor Belmont, is Dracula's son who matches his father in craftiness. Turned into a vampire, Alucard watches over his son Simon Belmont's quest to Dracula's castle, and helps him in his battle against the Dark Lord. Aiding the Brotherhood of Light against the Prince of Darkness, Alucard hatches a plan to end the conflict between good and evil: by putting Dracula into a deep slumber, the two great evils Zobek and Satan would return to conquer the world. When the time is right, Alucard would awaken Dracula and he would guide him into regaining his powers and memories, disguising himself as Zobek's lieutenant in the process, so that he could be able to [[BatmanGambit battle them again]] and defeat them once and for all.
