[[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: Sypha, Trevor, and Alucard.]]

->''"My father has to die. We three... we can destroy him."''
-->-- '''Adrian "Alucard" Tepes'''

The main trio of the story whose main goal is to kill Dracula and his minions.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: As a group, the three of them (plus [[AdaptedOut Grant]]) defeated Dracula in the games, and likewise, Trevor can do it without any help whatsoever. In this series, Dracula thoroughly trounces the three of them (even while weakened due to blood-starvation), and only dies because he allows Alucard to kill him.
* AntiHeroTeam: While they're the good guys in all of this, they're not above a few morally dubious things.
** Trevor is a rotten drunk who would rather be drinking his sorrows away than fighting. On top of that, he doesn't really have all that much interest in fighting night creatures or his family's history, and he's kind of an asshole to everyone he meets.
** Sypha starts off as a NiceGirl, but she ends up with "an appreciation for the rougher things in life" after a time. She's also not above [[GoodIsNotSoft burning and impaling night creatures]], and even threatens people. On top of that, while she does know quite a bit about the Catholic Church, she clearly doesn't worship God [[NayTheist in spite of knowing He exists]].
** Alucard firsts suggests [[PayEvilUntoEvil killing the one who killed Lisa]] to Dracula in an attempt to calm him down, and he apparently was totally serious about it. Alucard also doesn't have any problem with murder, slaughtering his enemies and fighting dirty.
* BadassCrew: A trio consisting of an experienced monster hunter and fighter (Trevor), a proficient scholar of magic (Sypha), and a dhampyr with a variety of supernatural powers as well being a master swordsman (Alucard).
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Alucard is the Blonde, Trevor is the Brunette, and Sypha is the Redhead.
* CurbStompCushion: They manage to land a few blows on Dracula as a team, even if he is wiping the floor with them.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: None of them had an easy life. See each of their own folders for more details.
* DecoyProtagonist: In season 2, the team as a whole is this to Dracula's VillainProtagonist. The screen time was divided unevenly with more than half devoted to Dracula's court. The story of season 2 was ultimately [[spoiler: Dracula's coming to terms with his despair and acceptance of death. ]] As a whole, the first two seasons spent more time developing Dracula as a character than any of the trio.
* TheDreaded: A VampireHunter from a legendary bloodline, a witch with mastery of the elements, and a near-demigod {{Dhampyr}}: each is an incredible threat on their own, but when all three come strolling into Dracula's castle casual as you please, the EnemyCivilWar slams to a halt. Every vampire in the entrance hall nearly pisses themselves and immediately turns every effort to killing them.
* FighterMageThief: Alucard is the Fighter, thanks to his natural physical endurance and strength allowing him to overpower almost all his enemies, and is the only one who can physically fight Dracula head on, in addition to being the fastest, and strongest physically in the group. Sypha is the Mage, a Speaker magician adept in pyromancy and cryomancy. Trevor is the Thief, relying on strategy and weaponry to give him an edge since he is a normal human, in addition to relying on his wits to make up for the situation going south. Do note that while Sypha is a Mage through and through, Trevor can also count as a Fighter when Alucard is not around.
* FireForgedFriends: The trio are a group of strangers with their own issues who somehow band together to stop Dracula's war on humanity. And through it all, an unlikely friendship forms.
* FlamingWeapon: Against the Visitor in Season 3, Trevor's Morningstar Whip and Vampire Killer light on fire magically and strike the Visitor with so much power that it's torn apart and incinerated at the same time.
* FreudianTrio:
** Trevor is the Id. He is very emotional, not afraid to make his feelings known, and is out to kill Dracula and vampires because that's what his family does. His first instinct on recognizing Alucard as a dhampyr is to attack him. Oddly enough, he's terrible at emotional comfort, contrary to expectations.
** Alucard is the Superego. Cold, logical, and in the fight against Dracula so as to honor his late mother's wish to help humanity. He is the one who offers the most help to Sypha as she tries to find a way to lock down Dracula's castle, compared to Trevor, who, while literate, cannot read the esoteric or ancient books of lore in the Belmont library.
** Sypha balances the two out, being more emotional than Alucard, but more logical than Trevor and serves as the bridge between the two (often literally in the show, being the one to be the link between them).
* InterspeciesFriendship: A friendship forms between two humans (Trevor and Sypha) and a dhampyr (Alucard).
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073G9189H/ref=dm_ws_tlw_trk27 Hunter, Scholar, Soldier]]".
* {{Manchild}}: Alucard and Trevor bickered like children on a playground. Sypha, though more mature, acted like their teenage babysitter at times. Downplayed in that Alucard and Trevor seem to enjoy it.
* OneManArmy: All of them can take on multitudes of enemies by themselves.
* SpannerInTheWorks: They end up being this to [[spoiler:Carmilla in Season 2. In one hand they get rid of Dracula like she intended to do, but on the other hand, they completely destroy her vampire army ''by accident'' while trying to teleport Castlevania into their location, which left her deprived of forces and spoiled her plan]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: All three of them will bicker and mock each other but the end of the second season, they're FireForgedFriends. With [[spoiler:Trevor giving Alucard the Belmont vault to protect so he doesn't sleep the rest of his life away. Alucard even flips Trevor off when he and Sypha leave while Trevor laughs it off.]]
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Trevor and Alucard are the "Two Guys" while Sypha is the only female of the trio.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trevor_belmont.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I'm Trevor fucking Belmont, and I've never lost a fight to a man nor fucking beast!"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RichardArmitage (English), Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (Japanese), Creator/JoseGilbertoVilchis (Latin American Spanish), Oliver Siebeck (German)

The last member of House Belmont, reduced to a wandering drunk, Trevor becomes and caught up in Dracula's war while in Gresit and embarks on a quest to end Dracula's campaign of terror.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: After giving a sentimental goodbye to Alucard at the end of the second season, Alucard playfully gives him the finger. Trevor laughs at this before giving a joking "fuck you" in return.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While it's hard to tell with the original game, where he was depicted as a BarbarianHero, here, Trevor is mostly clean-shaven with short hair and impressive build.
* AdaptationalModesty: In the original game, Trevor only wore a loincloth, breastplate and boots. Here, he's clothed from head to toe.
* AdaptationalWimp: His arsenal is far more limited, human opponents are capable of giving him significant trouble, and [[spoiler:he fails to actually kill Dracula on his own.]]
* TheAlcoholic: Due to the Church excommunicating the Belmont family and destroying their ancestral home, Trevor Belmont has spent his days since then as a vagrant wandering the land from tavern to tavern, spending what little remains of his family fortune on booze. In season 3 after probably a month without a drink, he eagerly gulps down beer, saying it's better than sex.
* AmazonChaser: {{Implied|Trope}}. When Sypha saved him from the mob via her magic powers, Trevor gives an appreciative smirk while looking towards her in apparent admiration.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Season 2 shows that Trevor may be experiencing untreated depression -- He uses alcohol to forget his trauma, noted to be self-destructive by Alucard, tends to avoid talking about his troubled past (even when he's not in danger), and said troubled past left him somewhat emotionally stunted.
* AncestralWeapon: In addition to the Vampire Killer and the Morning Star, Trevor also picks up the longsword of his ancestor, Leon, from the Belmont Hold in Season 2, and carries it all the way through to [[spoiler:when they kill Dracula together.]]
* AntiHero: Fighting against Dracula, corrupt churches, and the forces of darkness. At the same time, he typically resorts to murder as a solution, and he's extremely sour and snarky to everyone he meets. If it doesn't involve fighting hellions or food, Trevor isn't on board.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: The Belmont hat, it seems. Their extensive history fighting monsters means that when it comes down to it, Trevor knows how to beat them either from experience or from the family bestiary.
* BadassBoast:
** Double subverted in a bar fight in Episode 2. When facing some drunks, he says "I'm Trevor fucking Belmont, and I've never lost a fight to a man nor fucking beast!" Immediately after this, he gets knocked to the floor and hit in the face with a chair. However, come one GilliganCut later, he's standing outside the bar none the worse for wear, yelling back at the drunks he's just beaten up.
** Played straight in Episode 3. When members of the CorruptChurch come to kill him, Trevor says "I'm Trevor Belmont, of the House of Belmont! And dying has ''never'' frightened me!"
** Also played straight in Episode 6 of season 2 after butchering a bunch of Hector's demonspawn.
--->'''Trevor''': When you get back to whatever steaming underworld shithole you came from, you tell them: there are still [[BadassFamily Belmonts]] up here!
* BadassNormal: Barring his [[MagicEnhancement enchanted]] [[WhipItGood Vampire Killer]], he's just a man who knows how to fight monsters, without powers of his own other than [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower his vampire hunter training]]. He even fights Alucard to a standstill, who Godbrand later suggests is the most powerful Vampire in-series after only Dracula himself. In season 3, he manages to kill a werewolf night creature with nothing but his hands, feet, and his wits.
* BattleCouple: With Sypha in season 3.
* BeingGoodSucks: And he'll tell you as much if asked. He faces no end of scorn from the people for being the son of a noble family, regularly accused of using BlackMagic, and has to carry on his family's legacy on his own. [[WeHelpTheHelpless he does it anyway]].
* BetterThanSex: The alcoholic that he is, he claims beer is better than sex, especially when he's gone without a drink for a long time. He made the unfortunate mistake of saying this in front of Sypha after the two had undergone a RelationshipUpgrade, and she freezes his beer for saying it.
* BigBrotherInstinct: It gets implied that part of the reason why Trevor engages Alucard in VolleyingInsults, is because he knows Alucard is sniping at him as coping mechanism for the grief he's still experiencing. [[spoiler: And by the end of the second season, he gives Alucard ownership of the Belmont Hold to encourage his new purpose in life.]]
* BlatantLies:
** Steps on a pressure plate and with his foot still firmly planted on it looks at Sypha and says "I didn't do that".
** In Season 2, he argues with Sypha on him being nice. While he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he still is a jerk.
* BookDumb: Subverted. Trevor's quite knowledgeable when it comes to fighting monsters with a good head on his shoulders. He's only the least well-read compared to [[OvershadowedByAwesome the Speaker spellcaster and the son of Dracula]] who serve as traveling companions. It's revealed that he's this way because he lost his home ''and'' family at the age of thirteen. Or at least something close to it.
-->'''Trevor:''' Thirteen, fourteen, something like that.\\
'''Sypha:''' You've been on your own since you were thirteen?\\
'''Trevor:''' Maybe twelve. Who remembers that sort of thing?
* BrainyBrunette: Trevor has brown hair and is an experienced monster hunter.
* BrokenAce: Like his family, Trevor is a skilled and accomplished OneManArmy BadassNormal monster hunter. And at a young age, he had to deal with losing his entire family, surviving on his own, and having many Wallachia citizens badmouth his family. Needless to say, Trevor became more cynical and surly as a result.
* ButtMonkey: Regularly ends up beaten, harassed, humiliated, and the target of Alucard's teasing. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when Sypha notes that most of the stories of his exploits she's heard end with him getting punched in the face.
* CatchPhrase: Trevor tends to respond with an "I don't care."
* CharacterDevelopment: Trevor begins as a broken, cynical man who has given up on helping humanity after they ex-communicated and executed his family, only getting drunk and being involved in fights. Helping the Speakers forces him to regain his sense of moral obligation that his family had and he starts to do what he hasn't done in a long time. Due to Sypha's company, he's noticeably happier and kinder even empathizing with the Count of Saint-Germain's loneliness.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His vampire hunter training helped to make him a formidable warrior in peak physical condition.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: For all his grumbling about how ungrateful people are and his biting sarcasm, you can bet he'll be the first to take up arms for the helpless.
* TheCoatsAreOff: In Episode 3, he drops the cloak while giving his speech to the priests.
* CombatPragmatist: When he's stone-cold sober. During his duel with Alucard, he tries to [[GroinAttack knee him in the groin]], and when that [[BallsOfSteel doesn't work]], headbutts him. Shows this again when he kills a werewolf with his barehands in Season 3. He throat-punches the werewolf to subdue it and further cripples it by snapping its leg violently enough that bone came out, finally he NeckSnap the monster so hard that its throat rips open.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Trevor has lived so long as a sad, lonely man it isn't until Sypha points this out that he realizes how long it's been since he hadn't always felt that way.
* CostumeEvolution: In season 3, he has a darker shirt and cloak.
* CoveredInScars: As shown in his shirtless scenes, he has a couple of scars of varying sizes on his chest and arms.
* DareToBeBadass: The ultimatum that Alucard gives him when the time the fight has come.
-->'''Alucard:''' "Come on, Belmont! Time to choose. You're either the last son of a warrior dynasty or a lucky drunk. ''Which is it?''"
* DarkAndTroubledPast: While it's presumed Trevor had a good relationship with his family, the Church excommunicated the Belmonts and burned down their ancestral home because they feared the Belmonts' powers, causing Trevor to become a KnightInSourArmor who spends his days looking for the next tavern where he can [[DrowningMySorrows drink himself into a coma.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's still the same anti-heroic man from season 1 but he now sports darker colored clothing in season 3.
* DeadpanSnarker: It might seem that the man has an untold stash of caustic remarks reserved for every occasion.
* DefrostingIceQueen: The longer he travels with Sypha, the more Trevor gradually warms up to her and opens up about his feelings. In reality, his aloof and sarcastic personality is a mask to cope with the many hardships he's had to deal with.
* TheDreaded:
** The second Dracula's war council realizes that a Belmont still exists, they're all alarmed, with Carmilla being especially cautious due to their reputation.
** Trevor seems quite ecstatic to have found the Morning Star, which is later validated by even Dracula recognizing and cursing the weapon.
* DrunkenMaster: Averted. He fights better sober, but he prefers being drunk.
* DualWielding: In Season 3, he now simultaneously wields his Vampire Killer and Morning Star [[WhipItGood whips]].
* EpicFlail: While in the Belmont Hold, Trevor discovers the Morning Star, a weighted club head on a chain as long as his whip. He uses it like a cross between a whip and a meteor hammer.
* EquipmentUpgrade: [[spoiler: After stocking up in the Belmont keep. He replaces his leather whip with the legendary [[EpicFlail Morning Star]] and his simple short sword with his ancestor Leon's ornate longsword.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The whole beginning of "Necropolis" establishes Trevor's character. He is clearly put off by the accusations the patrons make towards his family, but would rather get a drink and ignore it than defend them unprovoked. It is not until the patrons goad him into a fight does he actually do something about it, beating all three of them despite the heavy hits he takes and the fact that he is hard-drunk.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: He is already a trained monster hunter by the start of the series.
* FantasticRacism: Towards vampires and other supernatural creatures. Justified, given his family history and the very real threat vampires pose to humanity, but he frequently brings it up in arguments with Alucard, despite ostensibly being allies. Also played with in that he makes it clear that, personal feelings aside, he would have been fine just leaving Dracula be as long as he was merely brooding in his castle rather than trying to kill people - and that he considers the Church idiots for provoking him.
* ForcedToWatch: In the opening credits, Trevor is held down by two men who make him watch as his house burns to the ground.
* FreudianExcuse: He reveals that when he was a child, the Church burned down his home and slaughtered his family; he was the only survivor. That would make anyone bitter about their lot in the world.
* GoodIsNotNice: He is one of the good guys, sure, but don't expect him to show any mercy in accomplishing his goals. He's also kind of a dick to people he meets.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar over his right eye which he, most likely, received on the night his home was burned down.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: He's more hands-on, while Sypha is more distance based.
* HatesBeingAlone: Inverted, Trevor admits he actually likes being alone in season 3 episode 5 due to spending most of his life being hated for being a Belmont thus he's actually confused at how happy he is with Sypha.
* HenpeckedHusband: Season 3 shows that Sypha is the one wearing the pants in their relationship but it's downplayed with their relationship being quite healthy.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Besides his [[WhipItGood whip]], Trevor also uses a short sword in combat. He's quite good with it too, being able to stand toe-to-toe with Alucard, who is more experienced and more powerful than Trevor.
* HeroicAmbidexterity: He's just as capable wielding his whip with his left hand as he is his right -- during his battle with Alucard, he switches his sword between hands and manages to hold off a stronger, magically-capable opponent wielding a longer blade.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: He'll look out for innocent people, but he would much rather be drinking, eating good food, or sleeping under a tree. And he'll gladly tell you all of that.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Belmonts were excommunicated by the church for their dealings in magic when fighting the forces of darkness. Trevor carries this stigma with him.
* {{Hunk}}: He has a RuggedScar, PermaStubble, and is ''very'' handsome.
* HunterOfMonsters: As a Belmont, this is his modus operandi. Despite being a rather BookDumb alcoholic, he's not kidding when he says that he's "never lost a fight to a man nor fucking beast." Trevor's taken on Alucard, countless night creatures, a council of vampire warriors, and Dracula himself, all while coming out if it alive.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Not so much with his sword, but rather his [[WhipItGood whip]] and later [[EpicFlail Morning]] [[ChainPain Star]]. Chain and whip weapons are notoriously difficult to use, but he can control them so acutely that he can disarm, entangle or crack the eye out of moving targets. He does some impressive tricks with the Morning Star in particular.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Breaks a blindfolded demon's BladeOnAStick and uses the shaft to impale it. Continues DualWielding the broken halves of the shaft against a crow demon and firedrake, and even keeps the sharp half on him as he enters his battle with [[spoiler: Dracula]]. That's a lot of mileage for a shattered spear.
* JadedWashout: His boast about how he used to fight "fucking vampires" during the bar fight in Episode 2 makes him come off as this. And it's sadly true -- Trevor used to fight against the dark forces with his family for Wallachia but the Church excommunicated them.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He's rude and sarcastic but makes valid points.
** While speaking with the Elder speaker, the older man notes Trevor's apathy to the human suffering. Trevor counters that the Church were the ones who didn't want the Belmonts anymore and their choice caused humanity to be unprotected.
** During his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the corrupt priest, he makes a hard to fight truth: It was the Bishop's fault for Dracula's wrath for killing his defenseless and innocent wife.
** While Sypha was right that Trevor didn't always have respond to Alucard's jabs, he was right that the latter was trying to start a fight with him and Alucard's constant jabs at his family is ''not'' funny.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his misanthropic outlook on life, when there is danger or wrongdoing, he will ''not'' stand on the sidelines.
* KnifeNut: When surrounded by the priests in Episode 3, Trevor's opening move against them is to throw a fan of throwing knives, stabbing many of the priests in their hands. He also uses one in Episode 4 to force Alucard into what he believes will be a MutualKill by stabbing Alucard with a knife while the vampire's fangs are at Trevor's throat.
* KnightInSourArmor: Life has been rough on Trevor, and he has become desensitized to the death and destruction. However, he is a Belmont, and when called to fight he will still answer. Best shown with his BadassBoast to the priests, and by extension the civilians of Gresit and all of Wallachia.
-->'''Trevor:''' I don't know any of you. But that doesn't matter, does it? [[BadassFamily My family]]: the family you [[HeroWithBadPublicity demonized and excommunicated]], has fought and died through generations for this country. We do this thing... for Wallachia, and her people. We don't have to know you all. [[WeHelpTheHelpless We do it anyway.]] And it's not the dying that frightens us; it's never having stood up and fought for you. I'm Trevor Belmont. Of the House of Belmont. And dying... has ''never'' frightened me.
* MasterSwordsman: Besides his proficiency with a [[WhipItGood whip]], Trevor has also shown to be proficient with his short sword. He's also pretty skilled with the longsword that he picks up in Season 2.
* MeaningfulName: Via BilingualBonus; Trevor was named after Trefor, the Celtic companion of Belmont patriarch Leon. To the French Leon, the name would have sounded like ''très fort'', meaning "very strong," which describes Trevor perfectly.
* MuggleMageRomance: With Sypha, as they are an OfficialCouple by season 3. He's a skilled BadassNormal monster hunter and she's a Speaker magician.
* MultiethnicName: A subtle example, but discussed in Season 2 when Sypha points out that neither his first nor last names are Wallachian in origin. He explains that this is because the Belmonts are of French descent, and Trevor himself was named after a Celt who was a family friend.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Trevor is proficient in multiple weapons from swords, spears, throwing knives, axes, whips and flails due to his training as a Belmont. He usually fights with a sword and a long range weapon like a whip or flail at the same time. But even without weapons, Trevor is a force to be reckoned with.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Played with. He can read normal text just fine. But the various languages that the books in his library are beyond him, so he can't do anything with it. Compared to Sylpha and Alucard, who are both multilingual, he's basically illiterate.
* NoSocialSkills: Trevor means well but he has no real manners due to the loss of his family at a young age and his resulting disgust with the rest of humanity as a result. Lampshaded in episode 2 of Season 2.
--> '''Trevor:''' I'm a nice person. I am. I know how to be nice.\\
'''Sypha:''' No, you don't.\\
'''Trevor:''' I do. I'm nice to everybody.\\
'''Sypha:''' [[NoodleIncident Then why are most of the stories you've told me the last few days are about you arriving somewhere and getting punched in the face?]]\\
'''Trevor:''' That's because everyone else is a horrible piece of shit.
* NotAfraidToDie: Trevor states more than once that he isn't afraid of death. Special mention goes to the end of his fight with Alucard.
-->'''Alucard''': Do you have a god to put a last prayer to, Belmont?\\
'''Trevor''': Yeah... Dear God, please don't let the vampire's guts ruin my good tunic.\\
'''Alucard''': What? ''(Grunts in pain as Trevor jabs a knife into his chest)'' I can ''still'' rip your throat out.\\
'''Trevor''': You can. But it won't stop me staking you.\\
'''Alucard''': But you will still die.\\
'''Trevor''': ''But I don't care.'' Killing you was the point. Living through it was just a luxury.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Both Sypha and Alucard tease him and pretend he's a grouchy drunk, but Trevor is very perceptive. He can read the moods of other people and knows how to kill various creatures of the night. When the people of Gresit are attacked, it only takes a few seconds for Trevor to come up with an effective defensive strategy he's just extremely misanthropic and bitter that he doesn't care to at the start of season 1. He grows out of it later on.
* OfficialCouple: With Sypha come season 3.
* OpposeWhatYouSuffered: Trevor Belmont is the last remaining member of the Belmont Family. Following centuries of [[HunterOfMonsters hunting monsters to protect the people of Walachia]] the Belmonts were falsely accused of practicing black magic by corrupt members of the [[CorruptChurch clergy]], leading to his ancestral home being burned down and his parents murdered when Trevor was eight years old. Whilst this has left him cynical and jaded towards most of mankind, Trevor also possess a deep empathy towards those who are unfairly persecuted by the corrupt. Protecting a nomadic group called the [[ProudScholarRace Speakers]] from being scapegoated by a corrupt bishop marks his transition from simply drifting through to actually taking a stand in general.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He doles these out quite a bit, especially to members of the CorruptChurch that excommunicated him and his family.
** Trevor calls the Bishop of Gresit out on killing Dracula's wife and starting this whole mess because the Bishop believed she was a witch, based on practically nothing. He also pretty much spits at the Bishop's offer to leave by sundown, lest Trevor be killed along with the rest of the Speakers.
** Trevor gives one to a priest that makes the people of Gresit realize who the real enemy is before they turn on the corrupt church.
--->'''Trevor''': You're very big at telling other people what to do. Getting the good people of Gresit to commit murder for you. Let's see how you do on your own. You and me. I can see you're carrying a blade. I wonder if the people of the great city of Gresit have ever seen a priest draw a knife before. Your long knife. My short sword. Let's go. Come on, you had no problem ''beating'' an old man this morning. Huh? You had no problem lying to these people about the Speakers.\\
'''Priest''': The Speakers brought this upon us!\\
'''Trevor''': No, they didn't, and you know it. The Speakers stayed here to offer aid. It was ''your'' bishop who brought all this down on us. ''Your'' bishop who started it all by killing a ''defenseless woman''. You would have made murderers out of these people, but the only one here who ''isn't'' innocent... ''is you''.
* RelativeButton: He gets insulted many a time throughout the series, but they don't faze him much. When someone insults his ''family'' however, especially by accusing them of being black magicians and monster-lovers, that's what really pisses him off.
* ScarsAreForever: He has a scar that runs across one of his eyes. This is actually a nod to Trevor in the games, who either has the same scar or is even outright missing that eye.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Trevor wore a big, fluffy cape back in season to symbolize his refusal to get involved in helping humanity. Once he drops said cloak before fighting the corrupt priests, it represents his renewed sense of duty.
* SirSwearsALot: Compared to many of the other characters, Trevor is rather crass, frequently using the word "fuck" in a lot of his sentences. Only the low-class drunks in a tavern are more foul-mouthed than he is.
* SoleSurvivor: The sole surviving Belmont, and thus possibly the last professional vampire hunter of any real competence in Wallachia or even the world.
* TheStrategist: When the forces of Hell descend on Gresit, Trevor quickly gets the townsfolk ready to fight with his knowledge of demon slaying.
* SupportingProtagonist: [[spoiler: For the most part the story is seen from Trevor's point of view, but the story actually revolves around Dracula and his son Alucard, the latter of which is the one who kills Dracula.]]
* SwordAndSorcerer: With Sypha. While she's a Speaker magician, Trevor's a skilled weapon user, usually [[WhipItGood whips]].
* SympathyForTheDevil: Trevor fully acknowledges that all the death and chaos in Wallachia wouldn't be happening if the Bishop didn't murder Dracula's wife — an innocent woman.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Alucard. Not only is Trevor a vampire hunter and Alucard half-vampire, they also [[{{Foil}} have incompatible personalities]] and disagree on nearly every matter. When they aren't threatening one another, they're trading insults.
* TragicKeepsake: The Belmont Hold is this for him since he's the SoleSurvivor of his family and said Hold is one of the few remnants from his lineage.
* TroubledButCute: A {{hunk}} with Sypha also describing him as "handsome" who is the SoleSurvivor of his family who were wrongfully branded as dabblers in the dark arts. He lost them sometime as a child, making him more apathetic and using alcohol as a way to cope.
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Since no one knows what Dracula looks like, he assumes Alucard is Dracula when he and Sypha find him and attempts to kill Alucard because he has fangs, was sleeping in a coffin, and the catacombs under Gresit resemble the inside of Dracula's castle.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Arguably becomes this with Alucard after [[spoiler: defeating Dracula]].
* WeakButSkilled: Trevor is a normal human who fights monsters and vampires for a living but due to his weapons and Belmont training he is a fearsome opponent that every creature of the night fears.
* WhipItGood: The signature Vampire Killer can be seen as Trevor's weapon of choice. The wounds it inflicts demonstrate how effective a whip is in a Belmont's hands, as he can use to remove limbs and eyes. In season 3, he dual wields the Vampire Killer and Morning Star.
* YouRemindMeOfX: At first he's very distrustful of Count of Saint-Germain but after learning of the Count's true motive, he sympathizes with the Count due to reminding him of Alucard.

->'''Voiced by:''' Alejandra Reynoso (English), Ayaka Shimoyamada (Japanese), Valentina Souza (Latin American Spanish), Giuliana Jakobeit (German)

Granddaughter of the Elder of the Speakers, Sypha is a scholar of magic and an ally of Trevor's in his quest to defeat Dracula.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the games, especially ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment'' is concerned, she has a deep [[FantasticRacism hatred for creatures of the night and people associated with them]]. She gets along fine with Alucard even with the reveal that Dracula is his father. Though she has a few {{Tsundere}} traits aimed towards Trevor.
* ActionGirl: She's a sorceress with mastery over the elements.
* AdaptationDeviation: Instead of being a member of the Church, she's the granddaughter of the Elder for a group of Speakers, a nomadic people who search and preserve oral history over written history.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Sypha's hair is strawberry blonde like her depiction in the pachislot game and the fakes in ''Symphony of the Night'' and ''Portrait of Ruin'' than the original game's bright flaxen tone.
* AdrenalineMakeover: A relatively minor one, but at the end of season two [[spoiler:after helping to kill Dracula and deciding to go on more adventures with Trevor]] Sypha seems to have ditched her heavy Speaker robes for the blue sleeveless tunic and trousers she wore underneath the robes.
* AllLovingHero: A downplayed version. She's not as all-loving as Lisa, but is willing to stay and help the very people who blame and persecute her family because it's the right thing to do. But, she's also brutal when it comes to combat, but that's to be expected since she's fighting monsters from Hell.
* AndIMustScream: Her present predicament when she is found by Trevor, as she was cured in stone by a Cyclops.
* BadassAdorable: Sypha is a cute girl who also happens to be a BlackMage who's ''not'' afraid of fighting [[CombatPragmatist dirty]].
* BadassBookworm: As a speaker, she has a vast knowledge of Wallachia's history and ancient languages. In season 2, after reading the many books of the Belmont Hold (along with Alucard), she is able to magically transport Dracula's castle to the trio's area.
* BattleCouple: With Trevor in season 3.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's the nicest of the trio and also quite the deadly fighter.
* BlackMage: She is this in function and the fact that she uses offensive magic. She's a magician of the Speakers, and versed in manipulating the elements. From a story standpoint she's a WhiteMage as the powers she evokes come from nature and those InUniverse who are truly witches and black mages explicitly draw their powers from hell.
* BlowYouAway: As a scholar of magic, Sypha has the ability to manipulate air.
* BloodKnight: She turns out to gain a rather disturbingly enthusiastic taste for fighting and adventure by Season 3.
* BlueIsHeroic: Like her fellow Speakers, she wears blue clothing and is one of three main heroes of the story.
* BoyishShortHair: Unlike the game, where Sypha has long hair she keeps hidden in her robes, this incarnation has her hair cut short. She says the boyish looks make it safer to travel on the roads.
* BreakTheCutie: She starts out Season 3 very excitable and idealistic before the events really do a number on her [[spoiler: being unable to save the village of Lindenfeld from the cultists and discovering that the friendly judge was actually {{evil all along}}]] which turns her very bitter and angry.
* CantStayNormal: Sypha says that after all the amazing things she's done since joining Trevor's quest to defeat Dracula, she doesn't want to just be a normal Speaker. [[spoiler:Even after Dracula is gone, she jumps at the chance for another adventure with Trevor.]]
* CombatPragmatist: Her methods of fighting demons can be downright nasty, including freezing a bucket of holy water solid so that shards of ice will explode out and plane the foes.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: She's not all that grateful to Trevor for saving her from a very slow and painful death under the curse of the Cyclops due to his surliness and contempt for her attempts to find the Sleeping Soldier. She even expresses a desire to trick him into drinking her urine as punishment for being "rude". Downplayed in that later she comes to save him from an angry mob because IOweYouMyLife.
* CostumeEvolution: In season 3, she discards most of her Speakers cloak in favor of having more room to maneuver.
* CulturalRebel: While she is every bit as selfless and knowledge hungry as any other Speaker, in Season 2 she outright states that her people's way of only keeping oral history is stupid after seeing the vast amount of knowledge the Belmont library could hold. In season 3, she starts to really enjoy hunting monsters and having adventures compared to the Speakers' more pacifistic ways.
* CuteWitch: Well, "cute [[InsistentTerminology scholar of magic]]".
* DarkAndTroubledPast: A downplayed and implied version. Sypha was apparently raised by her grandfather but they have a loving bond and she was surrounded by her Speaker family as well. And prior to meeting Trevor, she and her people were often scapegoated for Dracula's rampage despite that not being true.
* DeadpanSnarker: Despite her [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]] personality, when she's annoyed, she can get pretty sassy.
* ElementalPowers: Sypha reveals that she practices elemental magic, using [[AnIcePerson ice]], [[PlayingWithFire fire]], and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] to defend Trevor and vanquish the monsters. She also used [[BlowYouAway wind]] in season 2.
* FieryRedhead: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Sypha is the only redhead of the trio, but she's calm and level-headed, as well as, being the most mature of the trio.
* FireIceLightning: Just like in the source material, her spells are elemental in nature. She tends toward the former two.
* {{Flight}}: She can use her fire magic to create jets of flame that propel her and keep her in the air.
* FullContactMagic: While not ''completely'' physical in that she still casts from a distance, Sypha's magic is controlled with various gestures and arm-motions.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She's easily the nicest of the trio, but her mastery of magic gives her some very creative ways to kill enemies. The best of the example of this is the first fight scene in Season 2, where she uses her fire magic against a monster that breathes fire, [[WhyAmITicking controlling the blaze while it's inside the monster and blowing it up.]]
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Her magical combat style is more focused on distance than Trevor's more hands-on fighting.
* HatesBeingAlone: Her conflict in Season 2. She's spent her whole life in the company of her caravan that parting from them has made her feel lonely.
* HealItWithFire: Dracula slashes her shoulder early into the final battle, but she covers her hand with flame and burns the wound so she can keep fighting. It gets properly patched up afterward, but the scars remain.
* AnIcePerson: As a scholar of magic, Sypha can summon and use ice as a weapon.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: She seems to at the very least be interested by Trevor even upon their first meeting in season 1, and outright blushes when Alucard hints at her possible attraction. This evolves into antagonistic flirting in season 2, and they finally consummate their relationship during their travels across the backcountry between season 2 & 3.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Sypha has blue eyes that represent her caring, heroic, NiceGirl personality.
* InsistentTerminology: She's not a witch: she is a magician, or a [[MagicIsMental scholar of magic]]. There actually is a difference, with witches making pacts with demons for their power.
* InTheHood: Her outfit comes with a hood and she seen using it to hide her face in the opening sequence.
* IOweYouMyLife: While Sypha was initially [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike not happy]] with Trevor being her rescuer because of his rudeness, she ultimately shows her appreciation by saving him from a mob and Alucard.
* TheKirk: She acts as the balancing force between Alucard and Trevor in Season 2, criticizing Trevor's boorish apathy and overall stunted emotional state and using jabs to evoke his inner goodness while also criticizing Alucard's coldness and detached stoicism by questioning his emotional motives and mocking how he's putting on a cold front to hide his inner personal doubts.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: In season 3, she absolutely ''gushes'' while remembering her and Trevor's encounter with evil flying ''goats''.
* JesusWasWayCool: In a dialogue with St. Germain, she reveals that while she's got issues with God, she really likes his son Yeshua and states that it's natural for a child to surpass the parent. It's rather surprising coming from a Speaker, who [[NayTheist is considered an enemy of God and refuses to worship him]].
* JumpedAtTheCall: At the end of Season 2, Sypha decides she wants to have more adventures with Trevor and do more good around the world.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A composed, level-headed scholar with great power over elemental magic. Her [[TrueBlueFemininity blue]] robe is a subtle way of accentuating her femininity. The BlackMagic is averted though; her offensive spells are not drawn from hell but the elements of nature instead, making it WhiteMagic.
* MadeOfIron: A downplayed version. She's not as physically tough as [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Trevor]] or [[SuperStrength Alucard]] given that the former has been fighting monsters most of his life while the latter is a dhampyr. However, she has shown to be more physically enhanced than most people as she survived getting slashed by Dracula, who can usually kill mortals with a single attack.
* MeaningfulName: Sypha is a PunnyName for "cipher," a code or enigma. Considering the fact that her [[SamusIsAGirl true nature]] was hidden in the beginning of the series, it's quite fitting. It's also a MythologyGag to the original game where her gender was only known in the ending after she took her hood off.
* MuggleMageRomance: She (a Speaker magician) becomes an OfficialCouple with Trevor (a BadassNormal monster hunter).
* NayTheist: In an amusing moment, she casually reveals that the Speakers consider themselves to be enemies of God on account of the story of the Tower of Babel in which God destroys the ability for human cooperation out of jealousy. Both Trevor and Alucard, who are more familiar with religion, are a bit surprised by this. Sypha's interpretation matches the literal text of the story but she's unaware that the story isn't seen that way in any of the Abrahamic religions (where God struck down the Tower of Babel as the King who was building it specifically wanted to reach Heaven and ''make war against God''). She does go on record saying that JesusWasWayCool in Season 3.
* NeutralFemale: She spends the majority of Trevor and Alucard's fight on the sidelines until the two of them are locked in a MexicanStandoff and she threatens to incinerate Alucard should he harm Trevor. Justified, she's primarily a ranged fighter, and Trevor and Alucard are fighting with swords. Plus, as she puts it, Alucard may be the sleeping soldier, but Trevor saved her life, so she is torn between duty and debt.
* NiceGirl: Of the trio, Sypha is the one who is consistently polite and mature.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While ultimately saving everyone. We see earlier in the season that when Castle Dracula appears, it ‘explodes’ into existence, killing the surrounding wildlife. [[spoiler: When she forcibly relocates the castle, a tug of war happens causing the castle to relocate multiple times within a city. This pretty much sets off multiple explosions, and almost certainly killed A LOT of civilians in the process.]] The viewers aren’t actually shown the collateral damage, but its safe to assume its bad. From a comment Carmilla makes later on, it sounds like the area was never evacuated.
** On the other hand, subverted. [[spoiler: If Carmilla’s forces succeeded in their betrayal, Carmilla would have the castle under her control. She’s arguably more evil than Dracula.]]
** Played straight. [[spoiler: If Carmilla lost her attempt to take over the castle, her army would be wiped out, and Dracula’s would be diminished. The surviving aristocratic vampires could have turned on each other vying for control of Drucula’s resources.]]
** Another way its played straight. [[spoiler: Considering the vampires never actually engage a human army before killing each other, after the multiple castle teleportations, Sypha might actually be responsible for more innocent human deaths in season 2 than any other character in the same time frame.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: While Sypha is generally more rational than Trevor or Alucard, she still has several comedic moments and bouts of incompetence showing she's pretty similar to them deep down.
* OfficialCouple: With Trevor come season 3.
* {{Omniglot}}: The second season reveals that Sypha can read and speak a large variety of languages, including the original human language spoken by Adam and Eve. She states her education would be lacking if she found text to remember but couldn't read it.
* OnlySaneWoman: Effectively this due to Trevor being a drunken burnout and Alucard a sullen teenager.
* PlayingWithFire: As a scholar of magic, Sypha can summon and use fire as a weapon.
* RaisedByGrandparents: {{Implied|Trope}}. The Elder of the Speakers is her grandfather and there are no mentions of her parents.
* RelationshipUpgrade: With Trevor some time in between season 2 and 3.
* SamusIsAGirl: The Speakers only speak of her in gender-neutral pronouns (including referring to her as "them" rather than "her") for little to no reason other than to set up a reveal, though Sypha explains it's safer for the women to travel this way. However, unlike the NES game, which depicted her as a mysterious hooded figure of ambiguous gender, here she [[GenderReveal gets revealed]] early on, as Trevor recognizes her being a woman as soon as she de-petrifies. Her feminine features have also been made more blatant since this version rarely puts on her hood.
* ScarsAreForever: Season 3 shows that the cuts she received from Dracula on her arm have become scars.
* ShockAndAwe: As a scholar of magic, Sypha can summon and use lightning as a weapon.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only woman of the main protagonists.
* SpicyLatina: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Sypha is an attractive Hispanic woman, but instead of being a violent MsFanservice example, she dresses in a more conservative manner and is also quite level-headed. Even when she and Trevor have gotten into a sexually intimate relationship, not one bit of sexualized flesh is ever shown.
* SquishyWizard: Downplayed: while Sypha is easily the least physically resilient of the three and often has to rely on her impressive magical abilities to keep enemies at bay, she seems to be tougher than most ordinary people, as she survives falling into the catacombs of Gresit, and even takes physical attacks from Dracula and survives. In other words, she's really only a SquishyWizard in comparison to [[LightningBruiser Alucard]] and [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Trevor]].
* SwordAndSorcerer: With Trevor. While she's a Speaker magician, he's a skilled weapon user.
* TakenForGranite: Her predicament when she went to find the Sleeping Soldier — the Cyclops had turned her into stone. Fortunately, Trevor killed the monster, which freed Sypha from her imprisonment.
* TokenMinority: Both Trevor and Alucard are natives of Wallachia, a predominantly European country, Sypha is Hispanic and explicitly part of a minority group.
* TookALevelInCynic: [[spoiler: Sypha concludes her stay at Lindenfeld embittered, betrayed, cynical and angry after not only failing to save all the now-doomed people of said village from being sacrificed, but discovering that the Judge was a serial killer of children]].
* {{Tsundere}}: A mixed variant. While she'll readily freeze Trevor's beers who claims "[the beer] is better than sex" while pissed at him, the both of them have a healthy relationship and sex life during the time they spend together.
* WhiteMagic: Sypha's powers come from study and drawing energy from the elements of nature. While not divine or drawn from a god(s) her magics are clearly benevolent and don't defy the natural order of the universe. BlackMagic does exist in this universe and anyone who explicitly uses darker magic is drawing their powers from hell or demons.
* WideEyedIdealist: Not to the point of being naive, but she believes wholly in the legend of the sleeping soldier and the work of the Speakers, contrasting Trevor's apathetic bitterness and Alucard's icy stoicism.
* [[{{Manchild}} Womanchild]]: Downplayed. She is well read and incredibly skilled with magic, and has the street smarts to avoid being targeted while traveling. However, she's also very sheltered and occasionally childish; for example, she had to whisper to Alucard that she found a spell book on penises while trying not to giggle, even though no one else is around to hear them. She also has probably the least salty language of any character in the series, besides maybe Hector. Fans' frequent comparison to a teenage babysitter is accurate not just for the babysitter part, but the teenager part too.
* YouDidntAsk: Her response when Trevor asks why she didn't tell him she was a magician.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Adrian "Alucard" Fahrenheit Ţepeş]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adrian_tepes.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"We are all, in the end, slaves to our families' wishes."'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' James Callis (English), Creator/ShinichiroMiki (Japanese), Creator/JoseAntonioMacias (Latin American Spanish), Araceli Romero (Latin American Spanish, child), Sven Gerhardt (German)

The {{dhampyr}} son of Dracula and Lisa Ţepeş, Alucard seeks to end his father's genocidal campaign.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: A RareMaleExample. He wears a shirt that exposes a lot of his chest.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Some of Trevor's antics amuse him, but his wisecrack that Alucard had a better childhood than him even though "[[BigBadDad [his] dad's fucking Dracula]]" gets a laugh out of him.
* AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed. Alucard uses his post-''Symphony of the Night'' design, but is much weaker than he was in that game. That said, he has several abilities he couldn't use in ''Castlevania 3'', and trades in his famously useless Orb of Destruction spell for a grab bag of superpowers that showed up in later games. The implication is he will grow into what he was in ''SOTN'' onwards.
* AdaptationDyeJob: His wolf form has pure white fur, as opposed to purple and brown like in ''Symphony of the Night''.
* {{Animorphism}}: In the extended opening credits, Alucard transforms into a wolf and a [[OneToMillionToOne swarm of bats]]. He does transform into an wolf when fighting against Dracula's generals in Season 2.
* AntiHero: He outright tells his father to find the ones responsible for Lisa's death, implying that he should [[{{Revenge}} kill them in kind.]] He's also rather cold and aloof (not to mention immature). However, unlike his [[{{Dracula}} father]], he does not believe that all of humanity is rotten, and is willing to fight on their behalf for his late mother's sake.
* BadassBaritone: His voice is nowhere as deep as Robert Belgrade's Alucard, but it's still deeper than Yuri Lowenthal's.
* BadassLongcoat: He wears his signature black and gold frock coat.
* BallsOfSteel: During their fight, Trevor attempts to GroinKick Alucard, but it doesn't work.
-->'''Alucard:''' Please, this isn't a bar fight. Have some class.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler:The ending of season 3 reveals that he doesn’t take kindly to betrayal. After Sumi and Taka try to assassinate him despite his kindness, he kills them in self-defense and then impales their bodies near his castle’s doors as a warning to strangers.]]
* BeyondRedemption: After Lisa was burned at the stake, Alucard tried to talk his father out of his plan to wipe out humanity. In Alucard's own words, "I grieve with you, but I won't let you commit genocide." By the time Alucard is found by Trevor and Sypha at the end of Season 1, Alucard has decided that Dracula has to die after learning about the extent of his vengeance.
* BigBrotherMentor: In season 3, he tries to be this to Sumi and Taka, teaching them how to fight vampires while also regularly making them meals. [[spoiler:It backfires when they grow paranoid and attempt to kill him]].
* BigGood: Despite being Dracula's dhampir son, Alucard stands up to his father to protect humanity in order to honor his mother's memory.
* BiTheWay: Has sex with a man and woman at the same time in season 3. The QuestionableConsent surrounding the situation cast doubt on his sexuality, but it was later confirmed by the director on Twitter that Alucard is bi. While this is a time-honored tradition for vampires, it's AdaptationalSexuality as per the games, where he was only {{Ship Tease}}d with two women (one being non-canon).
* BrokenAce: While Sypha is a GlassCannon SquishyWizard and Trevor is a BadassNormal HunterOfMonsters, Alucard stands out as being a super strong and fast LightningBruiser with all of the [[HybridPower vampiric strengths and none of the weaknesses]]. In addition he also has supernatural abilities like teleportation, flight, telekinesis, shapeshifting, and presumably other abilities. Out of all of them he gives Dracula the hardest fight and lasts the longest (though it could be argued that Trevor with the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Morningstar Whip]] was more of a threat as Dracula could shrug off Alucard's hits but one solid shot from the Morningstar Whip brought him to his knees). In a year, he had to deal with his mother's senseless murder, his father going mad with grief (to the point of attacking his own son), [[spoiler:breaking down in tears after being forced to kill said father]].
** And then in Season 3, it gets worse. After Trevor and Sypha leave he spends so much time alone in his castle he doesn't know how long it's been only for two new young people to come into his life who he ends up teaching a forming a familial bond with. [[spoiler:Then the pair get dissatisfied with their teachings and lure him into a threesome in an attempt to kill him, and he has to kill them in self-defense, leaving him just as alone as he was at the start of the season but in a much darker place now.]]
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Half vampire, half human. He ends up standing up against vampires and the forces of evil, though admittedly at first more to honor his mother than for humanity itself. He also seems to identify as a vampire rather than human or dhampyr, seeing as he had to explain to Sypha why he wasn't impressed with the Belmont library despite his kind's propensity towards AlwaysChaoticEvil (and may also explain why he so antagonistic towards Trevor).
* ChildSoldier: Implied by Sypha, who suggests Alucard is an angry teenager in an adult body when he says he ages rapidly, compared to humans. It's entirely possible since the oldest he could be is nineteen, and Alucard does act like a child forced to go to war. Amazingly, he doesn't have any of the usual problematic hang-ups associated with this trope since one brief childhood flashback shows him as an perfectly happy and adjusted kid beloved by his parents.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Gold hair that matches gold eyes.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Downplayed. There are many implications throughout season 2 that he had a decent but rapid childhood and had a healthy, loving relationship with both his parents. However, a year prior to the series, his mother Lisa was accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. His father Dracula went insane with grief and rage and decided to KillAllHumans. When Alucard tried to reason with Dracula to not do it, Alucard received a horrible injury for his trouble [[SleptThroughTheApocalypse and was forced to go into a year-long sleep to heal from it.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a dhampyr, wears black clothing, and, unlike his father, is a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire.
* DaywalkingVampire: Unlike other vampires, Alucard isn't burned by daylight. He attributes this to being half-human.
* DeadpanSnarker: Alucard has one ''hell'' of a dry wit on him, never changing expression as he delivers a snarky one-liner.
* DemotedToExtra: While he has an arc of his own, he's completely disconnected from the main plot of season 3.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Alucard is one of the central focuses of the story and his importance is second only to [[spoiler: [[VillainProtagonist Dracula.]]]]
* {{Dhampyr}}: As the son of Dracula and a mortal woman. Although [[YouKeepUsingThatWord everyone refers to him as a vampire, even himself.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: The final battle of Season 1 is ''not'' against Dracula's forces, but between Trevor and Alucard after the former mistakes him for Dracula.
* DudeNotFunny: Trevor's pretty laid-back with most of Alucard's jabs, but tossing insults at the Belmont keep - the only remaining relic of his entire family's legacy - wears thin on his patience fast.
* DumbBlonde: Inverted. He inherited his mother's blonde locks and his childhood was filled with education, and he became quite well-read as a result.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first scene, he tries to plead with his father to spare mankind for Lisa's death, showcasing his [[TheStoic stoic manner]], and [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire trying to appeal to his father's better nature]] by pointing out it is not what Lisa would have wanted.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** His EstablishingCharacterMoment is telling Dracula that he can't kill all the humans for what a handful of them did to his mother. Alucard is fine with avenging his mother, but not to a disproportionate point. Sadly, Dracula takes the opportunity to wound him.
** He is unnerved being in the Belmonts' library due to it being a monument dedicated to hunting vampires. He especially fixates his eyes on the trophy case of skulls gathered by Belmonts, where [[WouldHurtAChild a smaller skull is amongst the larger ones]].
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: He is a vampire firmly on the side of good.
* TheGadfly: Season two has Alucard try to rile up Trevor by either jokingly mocking him or the Belmonts. Sypha calls him out on this saying he is only trying to provoke Trevor so he can lash out and prove Alucard's assertions about him right.
* GeniusBruiser: Alucard is a highly educational man with superhuman powers, including super strength.
* GentlemanSnarker: Is actually full of just as much sarcastic barbs as Trevor, but does so rather eloquently every time.
* TheGift: Alucard is only half vampire and yet he's stronger than any of the full vampires due to being Dracula's son. Godbrand states that Alucard is in the same league as Dracula power-wise (though not on the same level as Alucard stood no chance alone and while in their second fight when he wasn't holding back, he was able to beat up his dad but not actually beat him). Considering that he's at least strong enough knock his dad around and Dracula absolutely [[CurbstompBattle butchers anyone else who fights him]] this shows just how strong Alucard really is.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Living on his own after the departure of Trevor and Sypha, Alucard spends his life with a daily routine of fishing and foraging for food. As he sits down to eat his exquisitely-prepared meal, he has an argument with dolls modeled after Trevor and Sypha (almost perfectly imitating their voices) before concluding, "Oh my God. I am losing my mind. It's only been a month. I think." He decided to take Sumi and Taka as students due to his loneliness.
* GoodIsNotNice: Alucard has a standoffish demeanor and makes unnecessary jabs at Trevor's family, but he's dedicated to stopping his grief-maddened father.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: His hair is a very pale platinum blonde - a color inherited from his pure-hearted mother, whom he loves dearly and for whom he champions humanity. He can also be very polite when he's not busy snarking with his allies.
* HiddenDepths: In Season 3, it turns out he's a great cook and likes it enough that he'll happily cook every meal for 3 people.
* HealingFactor: Can easily heal from the damages Trevor inflicts upon him.
* HeroesPreferSwords: His main weapon is a longsword.
* HotterAndSexier: While the games did acknowledge his attractiveness, he was never particularly sexualised. This time around, he is given an introductory ShirtlessScene and his costume design draws attention to his muscular chest and long legs and is later given a sex scene.
* HumanMomNonHumanDad: His father Dracula is a vampire, while his mother Lisa was a human.
* HybridPower: Alucard has all the strengths of a vampire (up to surpassing full vampires because his dad is Dracula) but none of the weaknesses because his mom was human.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Alucard points out Trevor's immaturity, but he's also a manchild himself.
* IHateYouVampireDad: Defied. Prior to Lisa's death, it's heavily implied that Alucard had a healthy, loving relationship with his father. But unlike the games where he absolutely ''hated'' Dracula, Alucard in the show still loves his father, but knows he has to put him down before he wipes out mankind.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him state to his grief stricken father that while he can avenge Lisa's death but ''only'' on the ones directly responsible. He's a GoodIsNotNice hero but one thinking clearly.
** Alucard comes off as a jerk when pointing out a number of Trevor's flaws (alcoholism, self-destructiveness, etc.) to Sypha, but he's not entirely wrong.
** His jabs at the Belmont Family are ''not'' funny as [[SoleSurvivor Trevor]] [[JerkassHasAPoint points out]] but his mild disgust at the underground base is understandable given it's like a trophy room for the killings of his kind. One of which [[WouldHurtAChild included]] the ''skull of child vampire''.
** During his battle with his father, Alucard accurately points out that Dracula ''[[DeathSeeker wants]]'' to die, [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Lisa's]] death being the catalyst for it, and that his war against humanity is his attempt at suicide.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. While Alucard is fairly more polite than the surly Trevor, he still can make uncalled for jabs and Sypha notes that when you're around him, it's like being near a "cold spot".
* KillTheOnesYouLove: [[spoiler:He is ultimately the one to stake Dracula...because he allowed his son to after going through a HeelRealization]].
* LightningBruiser: Is fast, can teleport, and hits extremely hard, on top of his grab bag of other powers, including a HealingFactor which allows him to recover easily from hits from Vampire Killer, which earlier destroyed a hellspawn in a single blow.
* LikeParentLikeChild:
** Alucard inherited his father's intelligence, deadliness in combat, and aloof nature. [[spoiler:Season 3 has him stake Sumi and Taka after they tried to kill him as a warning to others to stay away from him just like his father]].
** He inherited his mother's class and kindness.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Contrasting with [[{{Hunk}} Trevor]], Alucard has fine, slender features that contribute to his good looks. His long, blonde hair also helps to complement said features.
* MagicVersusScience: Averted, as he explains to Sumi and Taka - he sees both as just different sides of the same coin and will happily use both. This some time after the pair were amazed to see electric lights and thought that lightning bottles were a magical phenomenon.
* {{Manchild}}: A pretty downplayed example and justified. Apparently due to being a {{dhampyr}}, Alucard grew to physical maturity very quickly. And that combined with his constant petty jabs and insults at Trevor has Sypha suspect that inside, he's still just an angry teenager inside an adult's body.
* ManlyTears: Se NotSoStoic below.
* MasterSwordsman: Easily able to keep up with Trevor. And this is when he's recovering from a horrible injury and not even aiming to kill.
* MeaningfulName:
** His birth name, Adrian, is French for "the dark one". Fitting for a dhampyr who wears mainly black clothing.
** Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards, a name he adopted as a declaration of his opposition toward his father.
* MindOverMatter: Alucard can control his sword telekinetically.
* MommasBoy: The reason Alucard didn't join his father in eradicating all human life is because he wanted to honor his mother's dying wish to forgive them.
* MoralityPet: Zigzagged. In their first scene together, Dracula scarred his son when the latter suggests to not kill all of humanity. And during their fight in season 2, if one were to look closely, Dracula may be punching his son, he's not using his claws (which are more fatal) like he was with Trevor and Sypha. [[spoiler:And upon having a HeelRealization, he ''allows'' Alucard to stake him]].
* MrFanservice: He's quite handsome, and is frequently shown [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless.]]
* NeverBeHurtAgain: Alucard starts season 3 so lonely that he willingly takes in Sumi and Taka as their monster hunter mentor for some company. [[spoiler:After their betrayal, he stakes their corpses in front of his castle as a warning to leave him alone]].
* NoodleIncident: When Trevor knees him in the groin during their fight, Alucard tells him "this isn't a bar fight", which heavily implies he might have been in one at some point.
* NoSell: Alucard cares nothing for Trevor's GroinAttack.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Alucard, who treats his duel with Trevor as a very serious matter and even admonishes him for using a GroinAttack ("Have some class"), finally just ends the fight by punching Trevor square in the face. In Season 2, he shows that for all his serious and somber disposition he is not above pushing Trevor's buttons and at one point [[spoiler:[[FlippingTheBird flips him off]]]].
* NotSoStoic:
** [[spoiler:In Season 2's final scene, he finally breaks down in tears when in complete solitude in Castlevania due to grieving for both of his parents' deaths, one of them by his own hand]].
** [[spoiler:After being forced to kill Sumi and Taka in self-defense, he breaks down in his childhood room over his isolation once again at the end of season 3]].
* OneHandedZweihander: Alucard's sword is nearly as tall as he is, yet he wields it with the ease of a fencer.[[note]]The blade, however, is rather thin for its length, which, in addition to Alucard's natural vampiric strength, [[DownplayedTrope downplays]] this to a reasonable level.[[/note]]
* PatchworkKids: Alucard essentially looks like a half-and-half mix of his parents, retaining his mother's hair color and facial structure with some of the harder angles from his father's face, as well as the latter's vampirism.
* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler:He kills his father Dracula at the end of Season 2 - at Dracula's own request]].
* PowerFloats: He floats ethereally during his introductory dialogue, earning him the moniker "Floating Vampire Jesus" from Trevor.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: In more of a ColdHam kind of way, but he has a few.
** Before facing down a half-dozen demons in an ambush, Alucard draws his sword and stares them down.
--->'''Alucard:''' No further.
** When the trio of heroes finally make it inside of Dracula's Castle, they face down the vampire council. Alucard gets the ball rolling with only one word:
--->'''Alucard:''' Begin.
* PrecisionFStrike: Used on a ''throwaway gag'' when he says "Yes, fuck you" to Trevor.
* RapidAging: Alucard aged quickly from childhood into what he is now thanks to his mixed lineage. Sypha compares him to an angry teenager in a man's body.
* RedBaron: "The Sleeping Soldier".
* SanitySlippage: PlayedForLaughs. After Trevor and Sypha leaves, he lives on his own and made dolls of them due to loneliness. He even lampshades it.
->'''Alucard''': Oh, my God. I am losing my mind.
* ScarsAreForever: Despite being almost as powerful as his father, the scar on his chest that he received from him never completely healed. Even in his wolf form he still retains the scar.
* SealedGoodInACan: A self-imposed case. After his failed attempt to stop his father, Alucard sealed himself inside a coffin in the catacombs underneath the village of Gresit for a year to heal the wounds Dracula inflicted.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: The reason for Alucard's fight against Trevor at the end of Season 1 was to test if Trevor and Sypha had to will to face and defeat Dracula. In Season 2, Sypha states that the reason for Alucard's snarks against Trevor is that he's still unsure if Trevor can help him.
* SimpleYetOpulent: His outfit is based on his design from ''Symphony of the Night'', and retains its high-class look, but is significantly simplified. WordOfGod has confirmed that this was done largely because the detail of the original design would have been extremely difficult to animate during action scenes. It also has the side effect of making him look younger.
* SleptThroughTheApocalypse: The wound Dracula gave him when Alucard tried to stop him from summoning his LegionsOfHell was bad enough that he had to sleep for a year to recover. By the time Trevor and Sypha find him, Gresit is one of the last major settlements in Wallachia.
* SophisticatedAsHell: He's dignified, aloof, and gracious… and all too willing to squabble with Trevor, not to mention surprisingly potty-mouthed.
* TheStoic: Par for the course with his character. While his father demonstrates his anger by trashing his laboratory and loudly declaring that all of Wallachia shall pay, Alucard calmly implores him to let it go as he himself also grieves for his mother's death.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Alucard is fairly polite and is heroic but is also more aloof than his peers with Sypha even comparing standing next to him to a "cold spot".
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Alucard has bright, golden eyes, a visual reminder that he's not fully human.
* SuperpowerLottery: Big winner here. He has all of vampiric strengths, and is stronger than most full vampires to boot because his dad is the [[VampireMonarch Vampire Lord]] Dracula. However, because his mom was human, he has none of their weaknesses to things like sunlight and running water. He also has another often missed dhamphir advantage in that while he can consume blood for strength, he doesn't need it, and unlike a full vampire will not weaken due to not feeding. Given that Godbrand suspected that Dracula wasn't at his best because he didn't seem to be feeding on blood, was a huge benefit in their rematch.
* SuperSpeed: One of his abilities.
* SuperStrength: Another one of his abilities, leads to a funny moment where Trevor struggles just to move one rock to clear a pile, leading Alucard to toss them all away as if they were mere pebbles.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Trevor. Not only is Trevor a vampire hunter and Alucard half-vampire, they also [[{{Foil}} have incompatible personalities]] and disagree on nearly every matter. When they aren't threatening one another, they're trading insults.
* TokenHeroicOrc: He's the only benevolent "monster."
* TookALevelInCynic: He wasn't in a very good place at the end of Season 2, but the end of Season 3 makes it even worse. [[spoiler:Sumi and Taka betraying Alucard and trying to kill him mid-coitus over their paranoia really sets him off. He ends up crying to himself and putting both of their corpses on pikes outside of his castle as a warning. His tone of voice as he walks back inside also shows how he's slipping further into darkness.]]
* TroubledButCute: A {{pretty boy}} dhampyr who is dealing with the unjust murder of his mother and how his father went mad with grief.
* VagueAge: He plays coy with his actual age, but he can't be older than twenty, given the series timeline.
* VampiresAreSexGods: Subverted. Alucard certainly looks the part between his good looks and constantly open shirts, but when [[spoiler: Sumi and Taka come into his bedroom to seduce and have sex with him - he's astonished and out of his element. So he's [[{{Uke}} completely the passive bottom partner with the two of them]]]]. This contrasts with the scene between Lenore and Hector which happened concurrently with his.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Arguably becomes this with Trevor after [[spoiler: defeating Dracula]].
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He spends the majority of his meeting with Trevor and Sypha without his shirt. He dons his shirt and coat when the fighting is over.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] since the actual ShipTease between Trevor and Sypha is rather subtle, but midway through the second season, an annoyed Alucard ends up confronting Sypha over the fact that she is too distracted spending time with Trevor rather than completing her research on how to get to Dracula.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Alucard can't be older than 20, as his parents only met 20 years before the main story begins. He is, however, incredibly intelligent and deeply wise, coming off as someone with centuries of experience rather than the young man he actually is. Having said that, he does display some {{manchild}} traits in Season 2.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: The reason Alucard went into a slumber was to heal the wound that Dracula inflicted upon him after he tried to stop him from summoning a demon army. He can regenerate simple wounds well enough, as Trevor later finds out.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Laments that Dracula has gone insane, recognizing that as a centuries-old scientific and mystical mind, the MonsterLord could have potentially changed the world for the better with the information he has at his disposal, and that by killing him, that repository will be lost.
* YouKnowImBlackRight: When Sypha prods Alucard to admit he's impressed by the Belmont keep, he dryly reminds her they're essentially in a museum dedicated to his kind's destruction.
* YoungerThanHeLooks: He doesn't specify his age (given the series timeline, it can't be older than twenty), but apparently being half-vampire and half-human made him mature ''really'' fast.

!Allies
[[folder:Speakers]]
->Sypha: ''"We carry with us the accumulated wisdom of this great country. We will use that to fight our battle."''

A clan of nomadic scholars who keep an extensive oral history.
----
* AncientKeeper: The Speakers guard several secrets and mysteries, including magical knowledge.
* BadassPacifist: Speakers are said not to fight, though that doesn't stop people like Sypha to use magic when it is called for.
* BerserkButton: Generally it seems to be suggesting they write down their stories instead of just memorizing it. Trevor's father got in a fist fight with a Speaker suggesting it and one Speaker in Season 1 seemed offended when Trevor recalled the tale.
* CanonForeigner: Created exclusively for the series.
* CrystalDragonJesus: As a group of mystics associated with knowledge in an open state of defiance against not only the church but even [[GodIsEvil God]], they are very obviously [[FantasyCounterpartReligion fantasy]] Cathars and other neo-Gnostic groups. Season 3 reinforces this view when Sypha admits admiring Jesus for his sacrifice, which reflects the Cathar view of two Gods, one good and the other evil.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When threatened with his impending death by corrupt priests leading a pogrom against the Speakers, all of the Speakers are ready to die to try and verbally dissuade the victims of lies and fear and hatred.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: While admittedly in the real world, the Speakers' being a nomadic people persecuted by the majority of society brings to mind the {{UsefulNotes/Romani}}.
* NoodleIncident: Trevor mentions that his father picked up a fight with the Speakers once when he tried to force them to write down their knowledge.
* PutOnABus: Or rather "Put on a Carriage" as they are sent away at the start of Season 2 while waving goodbye to Sypha in her quest.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: They consider themselves the "enemies of God" because they collect information to counter God’s attempt to separate man after the Tower of Babel.
* SweetPollyOliver: For safety, the Speakers dress their women as men for travel, an action which mostly seems to be traveling with their hoods up which makes them all uniform and hard to identify. When the group is seen together with their hoods down, a couple of women are amongst their number.

[[folder:Elder Speaker]]
->''"Does one run away when someone tells lies about them?"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Tony Amendola (English), Pedro D'Aguillón Jr. (Latin American Spanish)

As his title implies, he is the Elder of the Codrii Speakers who reside in Gresit, as well as Sypha's grandfather.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He lightly rebukes Trevor for resorting to violence to fend off the corrupt clergy, but smirks and chuckles that he appreciates it.
* BigGood: One of them in the show besides Alucard.
* CoolOldGuy: He's a kind and helpful old man with enough patience to put up with Trevor's sour attitude.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When a priest is about to kill the Elder, the latter is rather serene about it.
-->"Will killing an old man make you less scared of the dark?"
* NoNameGiven: Everyone calls him the Elder. Belnades is possibly his family name like his granddaughter, but that's it.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: The Speakers are known to carry stories from the future as well as the past. One of these stories is a prophecy about a soldier sleeping under Gresit (Alucard), a hunter (Trevor) and a scholar (Sypha) rising up to defeat Dracula. Sypha admits in the season 1 finale that this was the reason her grandfather kept trying to convince Trevor to stay with them, and probably why Sypha went into the catacombs in the first place.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Judge]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonIsaacs

The judge of the village of Lindhelm who serves as the local authority. He enlists the help of Trevor and Sypha to investigate the local priory which seems to be taken over by an evil cult.
----
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: [[spoiler: He may be a ControlFreak SerialKiller who kills children for ruining the perfect order he sets up in his town,]] but he's shown to genuinely care for his people and [[spoiler: becomes guilt-ridden upon realizing he has unwittingly consigned them to death.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Get’s stabbed to death by Sala, but when it’s revealed he was a serial killer of children, you no longer feel sorry for him.]]
* BadassArmy: He leads a militia who not only not fear demons, but can properly dispose of them without need of a hunter like Trevor.
* BaldOfAwesome: He is completely clean shaven on the top and leads the defense of his people in the front. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it's revealed at the end to be a case of BaldOfEvil]].
* ChildHater: [[spoiler:Most of his victims are children, who he at least partially targets because he [[ControlFreak views them as a disruption of his town's order]].]]
* TheComicallySerious: The Judge is a stern strict man and that's often used for comedic effect when he plays off of Saint Germain or the heroes.
* ControlFreak: Adamant about ensuring people do as he tells them and that his town is run as smoothly as possible. [[spoiler: This is ostensibly one reason why he murders people - to thin out disobedience.]]
* CoolOldGuy: He's a bit stern but otherwise an affable and even-handed man. [[spoiler: This is massively subverted in the finale.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: While he physically resembles a HangingJudge with his dark robes, [[BaldOfEvil bald head]] and stern disposition, he presents himself as a benevolent leader. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed he is actually a {{serial killer}}]].
* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:The Judge is actually a SerialKiller that arranges the deaths of his victims by sending them to a trap outside the town's limits and later recovers their shoes as souvenirs to be collected in his house. He arranges Sala to be killed this way and reveals it to Sypha after being mortally wounded]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Kills a small boy because he runs around town too much. His other victims' "crimes" were likely similarly petty given his controlling nature. ]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He takes his responsibility of safeguarding Lindhelm very seriously, and is contemptuous of the local evil cult and horrified when they sacrifice the entire town for their ritual. [[spoiler: All this, despite being revealed to be a serial killer afterwards.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: When asked about his name, he insists on being called merely by his title.
* EvilAllAlong: He appears to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure. [[spoiler: Until it turns out he murders anyone who violates his rules.]]
* FrontlineGeneral: When Dracula's night creatures attacked his town, he lead his men in the front and impressively, completely ''unarmed''.
* HangingJudge: Subverted. He looks like one, but is actually a relatively friendly fellow that governs the town with a fair hand and avoids clashing with Prior Sala despite not fully trusting him. [[spoiler:Turns out he isn't quite as noble as we thought, secretly punishing even the most petty crime with death]].
* HeroicBSoD: [[spoiler: Heroic may be pushing it given the reveal]], but his brief breakdown upon the realization that he has condemned his people to [[spoiler: death by waiting for them to get indoor is genuine guilt]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: For most of the series, he aids Trevor and Sypha in their endeavors to stop Sala and his men. His conversations with them also paint him as a stern man who cares about his town. [[spoiler:It's terrifyingly averted by the season finale with the revelation that he was a serial child murderer who collected their shoes as trophies.]]
* VillainousValor: [[spoiler: Even if he's a depraved child-killing monster, he's a FrontlineGeneral who leads his army and refuses to back down. Even when stabbed, he tricks Sala into disposing of himself in a last-ditch maneuver.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Most of his entries here spoil one of the final reveals of the 3rd season.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Several of his victims were children.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Count Saint Germain]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BillNighy

A mysterious visitor to Lindhelm who crosses paths with Trevor and Sypha.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness'', Saint Germain was a TimeMaster due to being a guardian of cosmic balance, capable of rewinding or stopping time, used a SwordCane and ''gun'' and was a very challenging boss fight. Here, he is an completely mundane magician who while mentioned to be immortal, is only capable of performing simple tricks and is far away from being a fighter, resorting mostly to his smart-talking and requiring to be escorted by Sypha.
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:At the end of Season 3, he manages to reunite with his loved one but gets stuck in the same dimension as her. However, he manages to send one final message to Trevor and Sypha thanking them for the help and saying they will see each other again]].
* BeneathTheMask: St. Germain presents himself as a pretentious smooth talker but deep down he's very lonely and desperate to find his loved one.
* ClassyCane: Carries around an ornate gray and gold cane as part of his attire.
* CowardlyLion: He's got no combat ability and his magic mostly consists of simple, small tricks. Not to mention he's very reluctant to actually get near any dangerous situations. [[spoiler: However, during the final battle, not only was he able to ''leap onto and ride'' the monster that was giving Trevor so much trouble but he also ''forced'' the beast to change the portal's destination from Hell to the dimension of his lost loved one, jump in and give Trevor the opening to finish off the beast so the portal would close. Needless to say, without his efforts, the group would have outright failed.]]
--->'''Trevor:''' He really is a magician.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has plenty of quips for different situations and few qualms saying them out loud.
--->'''Saint Germain:''' (''sees Trevor and Sypha's cart roll into the village pulling a dead werwolf in tow'') Well, this is new.
* DisappointedByTheMotive: After Prior Sala and his men [[spoiler:sacrificed the townspeople of Lindhelm, he actually amazed that they would go to these lengths just to revive Dracula]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He’s introduced haggling with a local vendor over her price of apples; showing him to be a socially conscious and smooth talker... even if he failed to budge her on the price.
* {{Foil}}: To the Judge due to both of them being Trevor and Sypha's main allies in Lindhelm. St. Germain is a pretentious smooth talker visitor who wears flamboyant and colorful clothes compared to the Judge being the straight-laced ruler of Lindhelm who wears simplistic black robes. While St. Germain seems fishy at first, he is benevolent [[spoiler:with his actions stopping Dracula's revival while the judge appears to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure but is a serial killer]].
* GentlemanWizard: He’s more of a gentleman than a wizard, as he mainly uses his social skills to ingratiate himself to others and achieve his goals, with his magic being shown as mostly a means of function or a tool to further grease his financial and social wheels; [[spoiler: aside from his abilities with the infinite corridor.]]
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Like his videogame counterpart, he's the historical [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_of_St._Germain Count Saint Germain]] albeit a very loose depiction of the man.
* IWillFindYou: He lost someone important in [[spoiler:the Infinite Corridor and is dedicated to finding them]].
* NoNameGiven: We never do learn his real name and he is only ever called Count Saint Germain.
* TheNoodleIncident: He's a magnet for them, having jumped all over the world. Many of them involved getting completely shitfaced with aristocrats.
* TheSmartGuy: Saint Germain is well versed in many different languages and intellectual fields, which he uses to con his way into the priory. He recongizes alchemical signs and how they translate to a philosophical sense. Also, he shows quite a bit of knowledge in the Infinite Corridor.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He is really not impressed with the collective I.Q. of the people around him.

[[folder:Vlad Dracula Ţepeş]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlad_dracula_tepes.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I do this last kindness in her name, she who loved you humans and cared for your ills. Take your family and leave Wallachia tonight. Pack and go, and do not look back. For no more do I travel as a man."'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GrahamMcTavish (English), Creator/NaoyaUchida (Japanese), Creator/CarlosSegundo (Latin American Spanish), Klaus Dieter Klebsch (German)

The BigBad, Vlad {{Dracula}} Ţepeş seeks vengeance on all of humanity for his wife's burning at the stake.
----
* AbusiveParents: He scarred Alucard when his son tried to reason with his father that they shouldn't kill all of humanity. Later it's revealed to be completely [[AvertedTrope averted]] in regards to him and Lisa raising Alucard. By all accounts from the second-to-final episode ''For Love'', [[spoiler:Dracula dearly loved and still loves his son, commenting that it was both he and Lisa that painted his room and made the toys that child Alucard played with. In fact, just being in Alucard's room is enough to snap him out of his UnstoppableRage and push him into MyGodWhatHaveIDone territory. Dracula is so utterly devastated when he realizes what he was doing and filled with shame that he willingly lets his son kill him to end the horror he has become.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Dracula:''' [Lisa's] greatest gift to me... and I'm killing him.]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: A downplayed version. Dracula is still the BigBad with a history of killing humans for petty reasons but he's not as bloodthirsty or cruel as most interpretations of his character. Helping this is the fact that the show goes into depth about how his most recent rampage is a result of outside forces.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Played with. Pre-Ayami Kojima artworks had him with black hair, but Kojima-drawn artwork has his hair color as platinum blonde. It's black in the series.
* AdaptationDistillation: His first wife Elisabetha Cronqvist is unmentioned in the animation, which makes Lisa "the only love [he] ever knew", even thought Elisabetha was ''the'' reason he chose to become a vampire. His backstory in general is not mentioned much beyond a generations-long rivalry with the Belmonts, starting with Leon.
* AdaptationNameChange: Dracula introduces himself as "Vlad Dracula Ţepeş", while in the Japanese dub this is "Dracula Vlad Ţepeş", the official order in Japan. The English version of ''Symphony of the Night'' had it as "Vlad Ţepeş Dracula".[[note]]Since "Dracula" means "Son of the Dragon" ("Dracul", meaning "dragon", being the title of the real Vlad the Impaler's father) and Ţepeş is actually a common word meaning "impaler", Vlad Dracula Ţepeş is likely the most culturally and grammatically accurate.[[/note]]
* AdaptedOut: His OneWingedAngel forms are not adapted.
* AffablyEvil: While his demeanor and KillAllHumans plan may prove otherwise, Dracula has the capacity to show respect, kindness, and love to those closest to him.
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:His death is played in a completely tragic and somber manner, and his own son and executioner grieves for his death.]]
* AmazonChaser: The misanthropic Dracula immediately takes a liking to Lisa because [[ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou she is not scared by him as easily as most other humans]], [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre she does not immediately assume that he is the devil that the likes of the Belmonts and the church believe him to be]], and her belief in a better future through science and medicine over superstition.
--> '''Dracula:''' I think I might like you.
* AmbiguousDisorder: While not officially stated, season 2 shows that Dracula is suffering from signs of depression: MoodSwinger nature (aloofness to despondency to anger), not "feeding" on any blood, not planning ahead, shoving people away (except for a notable few), and suicidal thoughts (which have been noted by both Godbrand and Alucard). In fact, one reason why people may suffer from depression is the loss of a loved one (with Dracula losing [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Lisa]]).
* AndThenWhat: A rare justified instance. Lisa's death drained Dracula of any kind of affection for life, even that of his own or his fellow vampires. His ultimate goal of killing all of humanity serves no practical purpose other than taking out his anger on those he believes have wronged him, uncaring that this act will cause vampire-kind to starve. Carmilla, Hector, and [[DumbassHasAPoint even Godbrand]] express frustration over how overwhelmed he is with apathy.
* AntiVillain: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While it has been noted InUniverse (from Alucard and Trevor) that Dracula's anger at humanity for unjustly killing his wife is understandable, they both also point out his KillAllHumans plan is insane and he needs to be stopped.
* ApologeticAttacker: [[spoiler:Nonviolent example. When Isaac prepares to die defending Dracula from the heroes, the vampire lord apologizes for going against his friend's wishes before sending Isaac away from the battle.]]
* ArchnemesisDad: To Alucard. His son attempted to talk his father out of his plan to eradicate all of humanity, but it only resulted in his father scarring him. And now, Alucard is prepared to fight his father, even if it results in the latter's death.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Dracula is not lord of the vampires because he won it in a lottery. He is, hands down, the most powerful being on the show and it takes Trevor, Sypha and Alucard fighting all together to so much as stand a chance, even though Dracula has not been feeding for some time. [[spoiler:Even then, things only end when Dracula allows Alucard to stake him.]]
* BadassBoast: After he finally ''loses it'' in his fight against the main trio, he charges Dark Inferno while letting loose with this:
-->'''Dracula''': I am no ordinary vampire to be killed by your human magics… I am Vlad Dracula Ţepeş... ''And I have had '''ENOUGH!'''''
* BeardOfEvil: A pointy, sinister Van Dyke type.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe:
** Played straight with Lisa. Besides [[AmazonChaser standing up]] to the [[MonsterLord Vampire Lord]] himself and [[ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou not being easily cowed]] by his intimidation, Dracula also fell hard for Lisa because she didn't assume he's the devil when they first meet and treats him like a normal person.
** {{Inverted|Trope}}. Dracula didn't spare the elderly woman he warned as his "[[PetTheDog last act of kindness]]" because she was kind to ''him''. He spared her because she was the only person to pay respect to Lisa after her execution.
** Of his generals, Dracula is closes to Isaac because of the latter being the consistently and genuinely loyal to him without any pretense.
* BeyondRedemption: Alucard tried to reason with him and talk him out of his plan to KillAllHumans, insisting that while he grieves with his father over Lisa's death, he will ''not'' allow him to commit genocide; in response, Dracula attacks him and puts him in a coma for a year. By the time Trevor and Sypha find him and wake him up, Alucard has concluded that Dracula can't be reasoned with and has to be killed.
* BigBad: It's Dracula; he's the main antagonist of the entire ''Castlevania'' series. He's given much more understandable motivations than his video game counterpart, but he still unleashed the hordes of Hell upon humanity, killing countless people for the actions of a few.
* BigotWithACrush: Dracula is well known throughout the world for his hatred of humans, but he fell deeply in love with and then married Lisa, a human woman.
* BoomerangBigot: Downplayed. While Dracula hates humans for killing his wife — [[{{Hypocrite}} who was also human, making their son half-human]] — he does not have much respect for his fellow vampires, either. He chooses two human friends as leaders in the war effort over his CouncilOfVampires, trusting Hector and Isaac since they have emotional stakes in the war and an UndyingLoyalty to him, while the vampires are only looking out for themselves and serve Dracula because he is stronger than them, seeing the humans as nothing but cattle to be herded and controlled. His end goal basically amounts to a TakingYouWithMe merely as an after-thought, [[OmnicidalManiac killing all of humanity and starving the rest of vampire-kind in the process]] ([[DeathSeeker including himself]]).
* BrainyBrunette: Dracula has black hair and has been constantly noted to be genius scholar.
* BrokenAce: He's the top of all vampire-kind and his intelligence could've changed the world. But he went mad with grief.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: He's a BrokenAce recluse who is extremely cynical while Lisa is an AllLovingHero who believes in the best of humanity.
* BroughtDownToBadass: After Lisa's death, he has abstained from feeding with the intent of succumbing to his hunger and dying along with humanity and the rest of his kind. Even in his weakened state, he is still more powerful than everyone there, being able to effortlessly shrug off Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard's combined attacks and only dying when he lets his son stake him in a VillainousBSOD.
* ClassicalMovieVampire: Tall, aristocratic, black cape... he checks the boxes nicely, and even goes the extra mile by combining the look with that of [[Literature/{{Dracula}} Bram Stoker's original design]] (the long hair and beard) and [[LooksLikeOrlok Count Orlok]] (the pointed ears, the hooked nose, the long face, and the claws) for good measure.
* CoolWeapon: Averted. After touring the armoury of Dracula's castle, Sumi and Taka note that there were many fine weapons there but only a couple of enchanted ones. Alucard explains that Dracula had immense magical power so he didn't feel any need for magic weapons.
* CrusadingWidower: A villainous example; his ReignOfTerror begins after his wife's unjust execution.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Dracula spent many years as a recluse and has killed presumably thousands of humans. Then, he met and fell in love with [[MoralityPet Lisa]], whom he had a son with. Tragically, his beloved wife was burned at the stake per orders of the Bishop because of her "witchcraft". And then began Dracula's KillAllHumans plan.
* DarkIsEvil: Zigzagged with DarkIsNotEvil. The major antagonist, a vampire, and predominantly wears black clothing. However, while there's no denying the genocide plan is abhorrent, but even he doesn’t seem that fond of the idea; Dracula's actions are guided by how he passed the DespairEventHorizon. Prior to the death of his wife, he was genuinely in love with her, freeing slaves, and reshaping his worldview in a very positive way. He even goes as far as to [[spoiler:save the life of Isaac, who was perfectly willing to sacrifice himself to defend Dracula]]. This is the polar opposite of conventional villainy. This isn’t a series about a ForTheEvulz type of bad guy. We’re watching a broken individual destroy everything around him out of grief. [[spoiler:Even at the moment where a weaker story would have him keep trying to kill Alucard, he instead has a mental breakdown upon realizing what he’s doing, and lets Alucard kill him.]]
* DeathSeeker: It's established in Season 2 that he knows killing all of humanity will give him nothing to feed on any more, yet he does not care in the slightest. Alucard straight-up called his war the longest suicide note in history. Even ''Godbrand'' picked up on it. [[spoiler:When he has a HeelRealization that he is trying to kill his own son, he just lets Alucard literally put him out of his misery.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: Lisa's death didn't just destroy whatever was good in him, but also deprived him of caring about anything else. His minions note that his genocidal campaign lacks any tactical or strategic direction and it's just him lashing out aimlessly at mankind. Dracula himself admits he doesn't have the willpower to come up with fancy ways of killing humans like he used to before — all he cares about is just to kill them all. [[spoiler:This is the key reason why Carmilla wants to overthrow him — she believes his bitterness and resentment is stiffing everyone and he shouldn't be in charge. He finally comes to the realization he is dead inside and doesn't fight back when Alucard kills him.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** He has a legit point about his rage for Lisa's death. Extending this to the entire human species? Less so. Alucard even begs his father that if he were to take revenge, he should find the ones directly responsible rather than condemn the entirety of the human race for the actions of a few.
** There was also one time where he laid waste to an entire town, killed 40 men, and stuck them on wooden spikes to terrorize the survivors simply because the merchants ''offended'' him.
* TheDreaded: The other vampires are terrified of him. Godbrand states that even in his current weakened state, he still wouldn't want to test out trying to take Dracula on, and Carmilla refused to openly make any move against him. This later gets verified with [[spoiler:how easily Dracula tosses around Alucard, Trevor, and Sypha who, just prior to this confrontation, had ran through his generals with relative ease]]. Flashbacks at the start of Season 2 showed that even Lisa was afraid of him, fearing what he would do if she were ever murdered.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Dracula's first scene has him using his vampire powers to intimidate Lisa, and then after she proves to not be some person trying to trick others, he then proceeds to share his knowledge with her. In short, he lives up to his name as a MonsterLord, but also shows that he has the capacity for kindness.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** He was deeply in love with Lisa and her death destroyed him.
** [[spoiler:He truly loves Alucard, but is so blinded by grief and fury, he has trouble seeing it until the end when he realizes how far he's gone off the deep end.]]
** Of his generals, Dracula has the most affection towards Hector and Isaac, especially the latter.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In the fifth episode of the second season, he tells a tale of when he very much enjoyed murdering humans, but he states he only harmed those that offended him, and he even set a fire so the wives and children of the men that offended him would escape as he murdered the 40 men. Though he did impale their corpses to horrify the women and children.
* EvilCounterpart: Dracula manages to act as one to ''all'' of the protagonists, as he shares with each of them a similar backstory, personality, and/or skill.
** To Trevor — A similarly misanthropic, condescending, and temperamental noble scion with ties to black magic, but one who chooses to express his dissatisfaction towards the human race who wronged his family by exterminating it instead of just leaving it alone.
** To Sypha — Both are magic users with the ability to summon and control [[PlayingWithFire fire]] as a weapon. But Sypha is a scholar of magic who uses her powers to defend against evil, while Dracula is an EvilSorcerer who used his magic to summon an army of demons to KillAllHumans.
** To Alucard — Both are vampires (with Alucard being a dhampyr) who lost the same loved one to ignorant humans, but while Dracula resorts to KillAllHumans, Alucard pleads with his father to not commit genocide. Alucard even notes the humans' name for him, being the backward name reflects their belief he is the opposite of his father.
* EvilIsBigger: The main villain of the series, and noticeably taller than all the non-monster characters and ''most'' of the monsters. In Season 2, he uses his size to actually bully his general Godbrand by calling him "Little Godbrand".
* EvilOverlord: After his wife's death, he embraces this trope completely by sending forth hordes of monsters and demons to annihilate everything in their path while [[OrcusOnHisThrone sitting inside his massive and sinister castle]].
* EvilSorcerer: He uses a sizeable amount of magic, ranging from summoning TheLegionsOfHell to PlayingWithFire to a host of other uses.
* FantasticRacism:
** He had a pretty low opinion of humans, which was alleviated somewhat with [[MoralityChain Lisa's]] presence. After Lisa dies, his opinion on humans instantly takes a massive nosedive and plummets [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters even further than it was before]], reaching truly genocidal heights and sticking him right back into this trope ([[PetTheDog save for his kind treatment of Isaac and Hector]]).
** This actually extends to his views on vampires as well. Whether it be by being alone, living with Lisa, or traveling the world at her suggestion, he cut himself off from vampire society. With them back in his employ, he'd still rather associate with Isaac and Hector. His war strategy, as noticed by everyone, seems to be to cause as many casualties to everyone as possible, and even if it were a success, he plans on either letting the vampires starve to death or killing them himself. Outside of Alucard, Isaac, and Hector, Dracula is ''done'' with all societal species, more from disappointment and betrayal than hate.
* FatherToHisMen: All things considered, he's actually a pretty nice guy. He doesn't keep slaves. He grants an audience with pretty much all his leader subordinates, regardless of how loyal they are. His human supporters are people he rescued, and support him out of their own free will. At one point, a loyal follower prepares to sacrifice himself to defend Dracula, who removes him from the battle entirely, to save the follower's life. [[spoiler:Further reinforced when he suffers an emotional breakdown in his fight to the death with his son.]]
* FisherKing: Whenever he is enraged, his eyes turn blood-red along with the moon.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: At least at first, part of his dialogue had him demanding to know where the church had taken his wife, implying some semblance of hope that he had to time to save her. Since then, he's most ''definitely'' been stuck in a mix of anger and depression after Lisa's death. He leads a genocidal rampage against all of humanity and attacks Alucard for trying to dissuade him against it. Throughout Season 2, it becomes steadily clear that he's lost the will to live and doesn't care if he or every other vampire would starve to death, or even ''how'' the humans were killed off as long as they all died. [[spoiler:His depression comes to a head when he stumbles into Alucard's room while beating him to death; eventually, he stops fighting against the heroes and allows them to put him out of his misery.]]
* GeniusBruiser: Besides his high intellect, Dracula is possibly the physically strongest character in the show.
* GoodParents: Before Lisa's death, Dracula loved and doted on Alucard, teaching him his knowledge from a young age, making him a lovely room, and even making toys for the child together with Lisa. Unfortunately, Alucard not being ''quite'' as enthusiastic in genocide provokes a violent reaction. [[spoiler:At the end, though, Dracula remembers how much he truly loves Alucard and his final moments are their acknowledgment of this fact to one another.]]
* HandicappedBadass: Surprisingly so. It's made note that Dracula hasn't fed in a long while after Lisa's death, to the point that he is visibly weakened. Still, no Vampire challenges him to a direct fight, and when the protagonists show up to fight him, he is easily able to mop the floor with them. [[spoiler:Dracula even shrugs off the effects of Trevor's Morningstar, which was an effective OneHitKill weapon, and easily bests Alucard in their confrontation. It's only due to Dracula's HeelRealization that he gives up the fight.]]
* HappilyMarried: Though not fully shown, he and Lisa apparently had a loving marriage. He traveled the world as a man at her request, and even though she missed him deeply, she was still happy of the things he taught her.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Dracula loved Lisa deeply. When he learned that she was killed as a heretic, he damned humanity as a whole and sent his legions out to commit wholesale genocide.
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Experiences this in the final battle while fighting Alucard, they end up crashing into his childhood room and he realizes that he is trying to kill his own son, and broken with shame, he gives up fighting and allows Alucard to [[MercyKill put him out of his misery]]]].
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He completely towers over Lisa, as she's barely towards his waist.
* HumansAreBastards:
** Believes this whole-heartedly. He already barely tolerated humanity when he met Lisa. But after she's [[BurnTheWitch killed for being a "witch"]] by the Catholic Church, all bets are off. Dracula even says as much to Alucard during a moment of rage.
-->'''Dracula:''' That woman was the only reason for me to tolerate human life! [...] There are no innocents! Not anymore!
** It is worth noting, however, that he makes exceptions for Hector and Isaac, the only two humans among his ranks. His reason being is that they are bound by loyalty rather than thirst and bloodlust like every other vampire. On that note, he doesn't have a high opinion of other vampires either do to their ambition for power (Carmilla) or brutality (Godbrand).
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Despite having a distinct disparaging view on humans, he fell in love and married one (Lisa) and is closest to his two human generals (Isaac and Hector).
** Though his anger against mankind is reasonable due to his wife's murder, one of the reasons for some people to be paranoid enough to burn anyone who seems to be in contact with demons or vampires has to come from the atrocious actions he used to do against humans in his past, like killing a lot of men from a town just because they badmouthed him and impaling their corpses, leaving them to be seen by the mourning families of such men.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: When he first meets Lisa, he tries to scare her, but she despite being visibly shaken she refuses to falter. When she composes herself, she tells of the MonsterLord for his rudeness. It's no wonder Dracula fell for her.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He wasn't called 'Vlad the Impaler' for nothing. [[spoiler:This is also his ultimate fate, as he's stabbed with a wooden stake through the heart by Alucard.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: He (a vampire) would fall in love, marry, and have a child with Lisa (a human).
* {{Irony}}: Dracula was well known (and feared) throughout the world for his hatred of humanity. Two of the people he was closest to were Lisa and Isaac, both humans.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yes, Dracula is a misanthropic BigBad who has a [[DarkAndTroubledPast history]] of violence he committed, but he's also capable of genuine respect and love.
* KickTheMoralityPet: When Alucard tried to reason with Dracula, the latter's response is violence. And he still battles his son in their fight in season 2, but [[spoiler:has a HeelRealization and allows his son to kill him]].
* KillAllHumans: His goal is to have his legions wipe out humanity in revenge for Lisa's death.
* LargeAndInCharge: Easily the tallest character, just like in the games. If he wants to intimidate anybody, all he has to do is walk right up to them and he ''towers'' over them. He leans down to mock the already tall and burly Godbrand when he steps out of line.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Downplayed. His imposing figure and scowling face makes it hard to see, but Dracula does have some handsome features. Plus, his raven hair appears to reach his shoulders.
* LoveAtFirstSight: {{Downplayed|Trope}} and {{implied|Trope}}, given his smile during his exchange with Lisa near the end of their meeting onscreen.
-->'''Lisa''': They won't live such short, scared lives if they have real medicine. They won't be superstitious of how the real world works.\\
'''Dracula''': Why should I do that?\\
'''Lisa''': To make the world better. Start with me, and I'll start with you.\\
'''Dracula''': ''(bows)'' I think I might like you.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: The death of his beloved wife is what caused Dracula to want to wipe out humanity.
* LoveRedeems: A subversion. Dracula ''did'' attempt to understand humanity for his wife's sake but ultimately could not, especially after they murdered her.
* MadScientist: Dracula is portrayed this way in the series. He is described as a scholar and a scientist that has gathered such advanced knowledge that his [[ClarkesThirdLaw highly technological castle appears to be magic]]. And after [[TheLostLenore Lisa's murder]], he uses that technology to lay waste to Wallachia. His own son laments that he could have used it to change the world.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: He is an immortal vampire who fell in love with and married a mortal woman (Lisa). Lisa dies before him but only because she was unjustly executed by humans.
* MonsterLord: Dracula is the king of the vampires for good reason. Given how vampires believe in AppealToForce and MightMakesRight, Dracula is most certainly the most powerful by a wide margin. This goes UpToEleven when he fights the heroes and he pulls off feats that put him into PersonOfMassDestruction territory that so far outstrips the other vampires [[spoiler:you have to wonder what Carmilla [[UnderestimatingBadassery was thinking]] [[TheStarscream by betraying]] [[TooDumbToLive him]]]]. This was all after Carmilla and Godbrand had both pointed out he was weakened from not feeding, but was ''still'' far too strong to attempt to take on.
* MoralMyopia: Alucard straight-up tells him that his plan to KillAllHumans will also slaughter people who had ''nothing'' to do with Lisa's death and are just as innocent as she was. Then Dracula furiously shoots down the notion of there being ''any'' innocents anymore after her burning.
* TheMourningAfter: He has ''not'' gotten over Lisa's death one year later. Didn't help that the Catholic Church called him the Devil himself and mocked his wife's death.
* MuggleMageRomance: Combined with InterspeciesRomance with Lisa. While she's a normal human trained in medical science, her husband, Dracula, is a MonsterLord who has centuries worth of magical knowledge.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: It dawns on him at the end of season 2. [[spoiler:He has a realization at the end of his fight with Alucard, as well as being hit with the sudden sight of Alucard's childhood room, with the decorations and toys he and Lisa made together for him, that ''he's trying to kill his son.'' This hits him so hard that he breaks down whispering this, then he just stands there and lets Alucard stake him with no further resistance]].
* MysteriousPast: His childhood, relationship with the Belmonts, how he became a vampire, and anything regarding his earlier life is not touched upon.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Does this to Trevor, Sypha, and especially Alucard in their final battle.]]
* NoSell: The heroes, initial attacks barely dent him if they hurt him at all. [[spoiler:Subverted with Trevor's morning star Vampire Killer, which brought him to his knees after taking the full brunt of the attack to the chest]].
* ObviouslyEvil: Deconstructed. He has all the tropes that paint him as being this; a [[EvilIsBigger giant]][[ClassicalMovieVampire vampire]], with [[FangsAreEvil fangs]], [[FemmeFatalons clawed hands]], [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver a red and black color scheme]], and [[BeardOfEvil a stereotypically evil beard and moustache]], he lives in a large and haunting castle and he commands the LegionsOfHell to KillAllHumans. But his backstory and motivations show that he is much more complex and sympathetic than the one-dimensional villain his appearance would suggest.
* OddFriendship: With his human servants Isaac and Hector, even when you account their extreme misanthropy, its truly saying something he respects them more than he does his fellow vampires.
* OmnicidalManiac: While he hates humanity with a passion, he's also just genuinely ''tired'' of life in general. It becomes clearer in season 2 that Dracula knows that killing all of humanity will starve him and all other vampires too.
-->'''Dracula''': It doesn't matter... So long as they all die, that's all. They all have to die...
* OneHeadTaller: Dracula was a full head taller than his wife, Lisa.
* OneManArmy: When properly motivated, he can be this to scary effect, such as one time he laid waste to a town because its merchants offended him and he killed everyone that stood in his way pretty effortlessly.
* OppositesAttract: Dracula was noted to be TheDreaded among humans and monsters, had a deep racism and cynicism to humanity (sans a few), and would go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge if greatly angered; Lisa is an AllLovingHero with a deep need to help humanity and is quite forgiving. And the two were HappilyMarried.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Dracula is perfectly content to let his armies go into the world and destroy mankind however they see fit, though he typically leaves it up to Hector and Isaac to decide where most of his forces should go. It also gets {{Deconstructed}}. The fact he seems to be just lazing around with leadership, and sets a vague goal of just wiping out humanity with no clear plan, leads to friction within his generals, as many feel he is just a depressed old man lashing out over the loss of his wife. Carmilla especially is furious at this.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's a vampire for sure, but how exactly his condition works is still not completely known. The traditional vampiric weaknesses of running water, sunlight, holy power, and others are either displayed or mentioned along with vampire powers like turning into mist, super physical abilities, controlling beasts, etc. are shown, nothing is depicted about how the condition is spread and the fact that when Dracula died, it looked like a miasma of lost souls comes spewing out of him makes things more mysterious. In fact, he seems to be this compared to ''other vampires''. He's far stronger than even the other vampire lords, to the point that [[spoiler:he survives a direct hit from the Morning Star even while severely underfed and weakened]]. He also has control over demons and monsters that most of the other vampires don't; this is partly because Hector and Isaac are about to craft them as Forgemasters, but he also seems to be able to summon them from... somewhere. He seems to not be merely a vampire, but a demon as well.
* PetTheDog: His "last act of kindness" is to an old woman who pays her respects at Lisa's grave. For that, Dracula lets her leave, take her family, and flee Wallachia before his mass slaughter starts.
* PlayingWithFire: Dracula has tremendous power through fire. He can teleport in a pillar of flame and he sends his message to his wife's killers by causing the fire from the stake to erupt into an effigy of his face. He also used the Dark Inferno attack just like in the games.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: In a time period that puts male Caucasians on a pedestal, Dracula agreed to teach Lisa, a woman, science without any problem with her gender. And one of his top enforcers, and most trusted friends, is the very black Isaac.
* PragmaticVillainy: In the past, he was once rebuked by some human merchants in a city and he decided to repay them for this insult. He started fires in the city, knowing the merchants would send away their wives and children before leaving last with their treasured trinkets. Then he killed the forty merchants who rebuked him and any who tried fighting him, leaving their remains on spikes outside the city. He didn't touch the surviving family members.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He is the main antagonist of the series and his outfit consists of red and black clothing.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When sufficiently angered, blood fills Dracula's sclera, dying them red. Which also turns the moon red as well.
* RedemptionFailure: Dracula was on his way to [[[HeelFaceTurn turning over a new leaf]] after he met Lisa. Unfortunately, [[SinisterMinister the Bishop]] decided to execute Lisa and even [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead went as far as mocking her]]. Needless to say, Dracula [[TooDumbToLive did not take kindly to that]].
* RenaissanceMan: Has great knowledge of many things magical and scientific. Alucard describes him as being a man of science, a philosopher and a scholar. Which makes him all the more dangerous because he's also now insane.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; [[spoiler:Season 3 involves a cult trying to resurrect Dracula from Hell, and they very nearly succeed while it is shown that Dracula and Lisa are still existent beings in Hell. The only issue is that Dracula has absolutely no ability on his own to revive himself, and would be forced to rely on outside help to return to the Earth.]]
* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: A downplayed version. Lisa's presence is what encouraged him to help humanity and "walk as a man". However, dialogue from him after her murder, referring to Lisa as the "one thing to justify human life", and the fact that the two humans he was close to were as misanthropic as him implies he could never truly get over his hatred for human, with Lisa being the notable exception.
* RetiredMonster: Implied to have been this before he met Lisa, given Leon Belmont's pursuit of him.
* ShelteredAristocrat: Before meeting Lisa, Dracula had a castle that was capable of traveling anywhere...yet he didn't, having been content to simply live in self-imposed isolation from the outside world.
* ShroudedInMyth: Lisa came to Dracula's castle because the stories she heard about him said he possessed knowledge found nowhere else, and the Mayor of Targoviste understandably freaks out when he appears after Lisa's burning, saying that he thought Dracula was just a story made up by heretics, while the Bishop ''[[AgentScully outright refuses to believe Dracula is real,]]'' calling him "a fiction that justified the practice of black magic". He's so shrouded in myth that according to Trevor, nobody even knows what he looks like.
* StrawNihilist: While he was not exactly an optimist in the first place, he soon gave up on humanity's (and by extension himself and his fellow vampires) right to live on this Earth after Lisa's death.
* StrongAndSkilled: Dracula has an animalistic yet honed sense of fighting style thanks to his years of experience.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Dracula was a recluse before meeting Lisa, had NoSocialSkills, and can intimidate nearly anyone with his size, power, and reputation. However, he was capable of showing tender love and affection to those he was closest to.
* SuperpowerLottery: He's far beyond every vampire in the series, displaying a level of power none of them could hope to match. In a fight he's an outright LightningBruiser that can tank blows no matter how strong and has an intimate knowledge of powerful sorcery. And this is after he's resigned to starving himself, meaning he was possibly on the level of StoryBreakerPower before that.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Dracula was Lisa's science/medical teacher when they first met. Their relationship would transform into love, marriage, and the birth of their son.
* TearsOfBlood: After finding out that Lisa was burned at the stake, he cries bloody ManlyTears.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:It takes Alucard staking him, Trevor cutting off his head, ''and'' Sypha burning him to ashes to put him down for good.]]
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:He's shown together with Lisa in Hell in Season 3.]]
* TragicVillain: His wife being burnt at the stake sets him off to his latest villainy.
* TranquilFury:
** When he learns of Lisa's death. He has an even tone with the woman he told to leave Wallachia and the people of Targoviste he declares war upon. Averted immediately after those scenes, when he's seen smashing up his laboratory in a fit of rage.
** In Season 2, when Carmilla questions why he never turned Lisa into a vampire, he grows visibly livid and appears ready to blow up. He still keeps his volcanic fury in check.
* TroubledButCute: When Dracula isn't being an intimidating Vampire Lord and gives a genuine [[WhenHeSmiles smile]], he shows his handsome features. He's also a recluse with a violent past and went mad with grief when [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Lisa]] was murdered.
* UptownGuy: Implied. When they first meet, Lisa had no last name while Dracula lived in a castle and was known as the Vampire Lord, implying some degree of wealth.
* VampireMonarch: He is considered the top dog of vampire society and has enough authority to summon others to carry out his will.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: As season 2 goes on, it becomes clearer and clearer that his ongoing genocide of the human race is ''not'' making him any happier.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** Alucard is right that he can't kill all humans for what one person did, but Dracula makes the damn good point that ''anyone'' could have stood up for Lisa, but nobody chose to.
** He nearly loses his temper with Carmilla when she asks why he never turned Lisa and if he only saw his late wife as a "pet". Besides the fact that her question was extremely personal, she also disrespected his beloved wife.
** The reason why he trusts Isaac and Hector over his own kind is met with criticism from the Council, notably Godbrand. Dracula then points out that the former two joined out of loyalty while the others only came because of their hunger of blood. His statement is proven right when the Council do plan a coup against him with Isaac being the only one by his side while Hector being tricked by Carmilla to join her.
* VillainousBSOD: [[spoiler:A subtle, tragic one. Upon realizing he's trying to ''kill his son'' to carry out revenge for his wife, Dracula nearly breaks down in tears, recognizing how far he's fallen, and offers no resistance at all to his death.]]
* VillainousCrush: Zigzagged. When he met Lisa, he was already a recluse and didn't terrorize humanity like he did prior to meeting her, but fell for her nonetheless.
* VillainousFriendship: With the two Devil Forgemasters Isaac and Hector, whom he almost always expresses respect and appreciation. In fact, [[spoiler:during Season 2's climax, he saves Isaac's life by sending him to a distant desert through a magic mirror because he genuinely treasures his loyalty]].
* VillainProtagonist: Considering everything that occurs or is set in motion is directly due to his actions, a strong case can be made for Dracula being the main character as opposed to heroes like Trevor or Alucard.
* VillainRespect: A bit towards Trevor probably due in part to [[WorthyOpponent Leon his ancestor]] and [[BadassFamily his family]]. Perhaps also because the Belmonts are the only hunters they have continued as a clan successfully killing monsters for centuries.
-->'''Dracula:''' (after being struck full on by the Morningstar Whip) The Morningstar Whip... [[BaddieFlattery Well played, Belmont.]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Besides having a low opinion of humans, Dracula also killed many of them prior to meeting Lisa. But her unjustified death at the hands of the humans she sought to help destroyed any sympathy he had left for the species.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Godbrand speculates that Dracula has gone for a long time without feeding, potentially weakening him. Whether or not it's true, Godbrand still advises against fighting him, and Dracula is plenty strong as he is.
* WouldHitAGirl: Dracula didn't hesitate in any of his attempted fatal blows against Sypha.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] come late Season 2. [[spoiler:With Carmilla and Hector having betrayed him, and the rest of his forces wiped out, Dracula is down to only Isaac as his sole remaining loyal soldier. Isaac is prepared to lay down his life to defend Dracula from Alucard, Trevor, and Sypha. Dracula decides to reward Isaac's loyalty by actually teleporting him away from the castle so that he would actually survive.]]

!!Dracula's Army
[[folder:In General]]
-->''There's an army of us!'' An army! From Hell!

* BatOutOfHell: Literally, in this case.
** The weakest and most common members of Dracula's army, and the first seen, resemble twisted humanoid bats with distinct arms and wings.
** Demons more closely resembling actual bats, but the size of oxen and capable of running on all fours with their wings folded, are among the monsters that attack the Belmont manor.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: Not only they are forged out from human corpses, Season 3 shows that some of the souls bound to their bodies used to be human themselves, such as Bugseyes being an Greek philosopher in life.
* EliteMooks: Multiple demons in the army, particularly in season 2, prove capable of giving the protagonists quite a fight.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: Carmilla's troops wear plate armor.
* InTheHood: Dracula's vampire soldiers all wear hooded cloaks.
* KillAllHumans: Their purpose is to wipe the human species off the face of the Earth, and they offer no quarter or mercy to any human in their way, not even women or children.
* TheLegionsOfHell: They are an endless horde of demons summoned by Dracula with the purpose of laying waste on mankind.
* ALoadOfBull: The horde that attacks the main characters while they're in the ruins of the Belmont house includes a gigantic minotaur with apelike arms, which serves as the monsters' main muscle both in smashing through the seal and in leading the charge against the heroes.
* {{Mooks}}: The winged goblins that compose the bulk of Dracula's forces, and are generally their weakest members.
* TheScourgeOfGod: As Blue Fangs put it, it was the humans' cruelty that made God turn away from them and allowed the demons to run rampant and destroy everything in their path.
* WasOnceAMan: Season 2 reveals that the Devil Forgemasters use human corpses as vessels for the demons to enter the mortal world.

!!!Generals
[[folder:In General]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/draculas_generals.jpg]]

* AllThereInTheManual: According to the director [[https://twitter.com/SamuelDeats/status/1059168613259718657 Samuel Deats]], the five unnamed generals are Raman, Sharma, Chō, Zufall, and Dragoslav.
* CoDragons: They are Dracula's most powerful servants. However, Isaac and Hector are given lead over the others.
* CosmopolitanCouncil: They were recruited from different parts all over the world — the two most prominent ones are an Austrian (Carmilla) and a Viking (Godbrand). The other five's origins are never said out loud, but it's indicated by their names and their style of dress that they are German (Zufall), Russian (Dragoslav), Indian (Raman), Nepali (Sharma), and Japanese (Chō). This extends to the two Devil Forgemasters as well: Isaac is most likely African due to being black, while Hector is implied to be either Greek or Turkish due to being recruited from east of Rhodes.
* CouncilOfVampires: A given, but, rather unusually for this trope, the very human [[EvilSorcerer Devil Forgemasters]] precede them in authority.
* DanceBattler: In a Season 3 flashback, Chō is shown to dodge and slash up her human court servants in a manner that’s more akin to dancing than fighting.
* DarkActionGirl: While Carmilla hasn't been shown fighting at her fullest as of this edit, Raman and Chō are very skilled in combat and put up a good fight against Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard.
* DeadlyDecadentCourt: Dracula's war council is only held together by his own power. Carmilla's appearance leads to even more infighting and [[spoiler:even an attempted coup]].
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Raman is always barefoot, only wearing pair of hefty gold Indian anklets. Due to her feet being mostly obscured by her sari, it's only evident in close-ups.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: They come from distinct ethnicities and backgrounds, and its established that not all of them are vampires such as Isaac and Hector. Dracula explains that the latter's loyalty is exceptional considering his genocidal plans against their race.
* FlatCharacter: Besides [[AntiVillain Hector]], [[TheDragon Isaac]], [[TheBaroness Carmilla]], and [[TheBrute Godbrand]], the other generals have no discernible personality, nor do they ever speak.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: In contrast to the other Generals' weapons or unique powers, Dragoslav fights with his fists. He's one of the few to actually hurt Alucard sending him flying with a punch.
* IronicName: All of the Vampiric Generals that do not speak have names which considerably don't fit, especially concerning their actions.
** Raman, the Indian vampiress, means "Beloved" in Hindi.
** Sharma, the Nepali vampire, means "Happiness" in Nepali.
** Chō, the Japanese vampiress, means "Butterfly" in Japanese.
** Zufall, the German vampire, means "Coincidence" in German.
** Dragoslav, the Russian vampire, means "Dear Glory" in Russian.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: The generals' schemes and infighting make up most of Season 2 but have little to do with the conflict between Dracula and the heroes. The generals never directly confront or even meet the heroes, who completely sidestep them during their attack on Dracula's castle. Similarly, Carmilla's coup against Dracula [[spoiler:goes nowhere since she began her attack on Dracula at the same time as the heroes, whose actions scatter her forces and block her way into the castle.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: Chō receives more of a role in season 3 after her death. Unlike the other Generals, the show establishes what she was doing before being called to Dracula and how she ran her court.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: It's implied that none of the court members are particularly fond of one another. They question Dracula's leadership, but won't actually dare to challenge him to his face.
* TokenHuman: Isaac and Hector are the only humans among Dracula's court -- a fact resented by the vampire generals.

[[folder:Carmilla of Styria]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carmilla_1.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JaimeMurray (English), Erica Edwards (Latin American Spanish)

One of Dracula's vampire generals. She hails from Austria and is the last arriving member of his War Council.
----
* AdaptationalCurves: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Carmilla is gaunter and less busty in the animated series than in the video game.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Carmilla has always been portrayed as a villain in the original games, but if there is one common trait in previous continuities, it was her slavish devotion to Dracula, sometimes serving as an {{Yandere}} for him like in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow2''. In the animation, however, she [[spoiler:has nothing but disdain and contempt for him and is actively plotting to undermine and usurp him]].
* AdaptationalModesty: Carmilla wears less revealing clothing than her game counterpart (who was ''naked'' in most of her boss fights).
* AdaptationDyeJob: Sort of. Carmilla is most often portrayed as a brunette in the games (both the original and ''Lords of Shadow'' continuity), although only on in GaidenGames, and alternate continuity games — in her [[http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/File:Carmilla_RoB.JPG canon to the main continuity appearance in Rondo of Blood]], she is portrayed with [[WhiteHairBlackHeart silver-hair]], as she is portrayed in the animation.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Played with. She didn't turn against her original master or [[spoiler:Dracula]] until she was convinced that they were insane and without regard for their vampire underlings. Of course, given how manipulative she is, it's unknown whether she simply wants freedom from bad governance and eventually decides 'if you want something done right, do it yourself' or if this is just the lie she tells others to get them on her side.
* AxCrazy: Subtle but present. She defaults to violently assaulting Godbrand to focus his attention and... well, see the MaskOfSanity entry.
* TheBaroness: Fits this trope like a glove due to her cruel and domineering personality, beautiful looks and being condescending to men in general. If [[spoiler:chaining Hector like a dog and calling him her pet]] isn't enough to qualify, then nothing else will.
* BedFullOfWomen: Inverted and implied. When she wakes up in the middle of the day to Striga and Morana’s talk of her plans, she off handedly remarks she could hear them from her bed and over three men’s snoring, indicating they were with her.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Come season 3, she's revealed to be this among her own council and powerbase in Styria.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler:With Dracula in Season 2, since she secretly plans to oust him because she finds him weak and indecisive. With him out of the way by the end of the season, she is set up as this with Isaac for Season 3]].
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:Though she comes off as more resourceful and cunning than the Bishop from Season 1 and genuinely wants to take Dracula's position as BigBad, her plans are ruined by the heroes' unexpected intervention as Sypha's spell leaves Dracula's castle out of her reach and even worse, her army was completely destroyed, leaving her unable to take control herself. With that said, Dracula's destruction plays to her advantage and she aims to fix her army shortage with Hector as her slave. During Season 3, she is trying to figure out of way to get Hector to create an army for her... Only for her companion Lenore to solve the problem completely by herself to Carmila's befudlement]].
* BrokenPedestal: Prior to the start of the story, Carmilla specifically sought Dracula out, expecting him to be a strong and charismatic leader. To her displeasure, she found that he was just as much of a slave to his vices as her previous abusive master.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: At some point in her time as a vampire, Carmilla's master became "cruel and old and mad" in a similar vein to Dracula's behavior when he lost Lisa. Due to this, she became abused [[TheDogBitesBack until she finally killed him.]]
* DehumanizingInsult: About halfway through the second season, she starts referring to Hector as "puppy."
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: It's pointed out in Season 3 that her plan to force Hector create an an army for her was a terrible idea. Carmilla's treatment of him meant he had no reason to obey her, and since his creatures are loyal to him, creating the army would just give him the means to get his revenge.]]
** [[spoiler: It's made clear she didn't actually think about where Hector was actually supposed to get the bodies to create an army either, not without depleting the vampires' food supply.]]
* DirtyCoward: It's [[DownplayedTrope subtle]] but present. While she is arrogant and smug, she never engages in direct combat or gets physical unless she knows she has a huge advantage. She manipulates and schemes, but is cautious and never tries to confront people out in the open. This is further emphasized when she finds out a Belmont still exists and she immediately loses her cool and borderline demands that they find the Belmont and any weapons or relics the Belmonts have collected so they cannot be used against the vampire army. While it also highlights her pragmatism and [[OnlySaneMan common sense]] [[SurroundedByIdiots compared to some of the other vampires]], it's also telling that she never seems to make plans for the possibility of her foes confronting her or if she is forced into the open, suggesting that she will do anything she can to keep that from ever happening. Noticeably, she doesn't attack [[spoiler:Hector]] until the sun is down and has him chained and surrounded by her troops.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Carmilla has a very low, sexist opinion of men in general, regarding every single male character she interacts with as children, beasts, or old fools. Not that her opinion of the other female vampires is any better, since she regards them as too indecisive.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: An older woman in high heels who enjoys stomping on the men who piss her off and takes a significantly younger (albeit adult) man as a pet. You do the math.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Appears to be set up as the next BigBad after Dracula's death.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Marches into Dracula's arguing court long after being summoned by the prince of darkness, which silences them and puts all eyes on her. She then asks Dracula point-blank why he never bothered to turn his late wife Lisa into a vampire like the rest of them. Then, after [[BerserkButton earning Dracula's ire]] and being summoned to speak with him privately, she manages to convince him that she was just asking what everyone else was already thinking and she is truly on his side, which spares her his wrath. A powerful presence, self-important, ManipulativeBitch all in one.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She truly cares for her council who she calls sisters, Lenore, Striga and Morana.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Carmilla cannot believe that Dracula actually loved Lisa when he refused to turn her into a vampire, seeing him as a mad old man throwing a tantrum over the death of his pet. She repeatedly refuses to acknowledge or accept that Dracula had genuine feelings for Lisa. When it is clear that Lisa's humanity is exactly the reason why Dracula fell in love with her in the first place.
* EvilCounterpart:
** Even though the two never interact, she is this to Sypha personality-wise. They share similar interactions with their male colleagues, especially when they refer to them as [[{{Manchild}} grown-up children]]. The difference is that Sypha is an example of WomenAreWiser who ultimately respects her friends and works together with them, while Carmilla is TheBaroness who has nothing but contempt for the men around her and [[spoiler:only uses them as pawns to fulfill her own ends]]. It's also fitting that [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience they dress]] in [[BlueIsHeroic opposite]] [[LadyInRed colors]].
** Even more subtle, but Carmilla is actually this to Lisa, as well. Both are blue-eyed, red garbed, ambitious, determined, strong willed and persuasive women. Both Lisa and Carmilla also willingly traveled to a vampire’s castle to seek betterment and knowledge, but while Lisa impressed Dracula making him fall in love and marry her, Carmilla on other hand... got turned into a vampire. Unlike Lisa, Carmilla is embittered, conniving and cruel, along with a lust for power due being enslaved for so long. It's telling that Carmilla writes off Dracula loving Lisa off as him "keeping a pet" and [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Carmilla can't understand why]] Dracula didn't just turn her into vampire (like her) if he wanted to keep Lisa safe.
* EvilIsPetty: The NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Carmilla delivers to Hector at the end of the second season was ultimately unnessecary since she had already taken him prisoner with her troops. She gets called out for doing so by Morana.
* FantasticRacism: While not as vocal about it as Godbrand, who constantly refers to humans as livestock, this attitude is still present in her character. She believes that the only positive role humans can play towards vampires are pets.
* FemmeFatale: Practically a given from the moment she first appears, and is even willing to test Dracula's anger proudly in the open in the process of starting her subtle manipulations.
%%* FreudianExcuse: Downplayed as it doesn't really justify her actions, but she ''was'' kept as a sex slave by an older vampire. No wonder she hates men and doesn't believe Dracula saw Lisa as anything besides a pet.
* {{Foil}}: To Dracula himself; they are different genders, opposite hair colors, they have opposing elemental themes (Dracula being associated with hellfire while Carmilla has both a frosty personality and lives on a snow capped mountain), Carmilla is generally in control of her emotions despite a few cases of snapping whereas Dracula is ''painfully'' in thrall to his sorrow and anger at mankind, [[spoiler:and by the end of the season Dracula is slain as a part of his VillainousBSOD due to said emotional insecurity and having a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment, whereas Carmilla is now poised to take control of the remnants of Dracula's armies due to being able to keep everything together after her planned betrayal goes tits-up.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Her plan of using the resurrected Bishop to bless the river water around a stronghold that Dracula's forces attempt to seize, and drops them into it, killing them. When the heroes attempt to forcibly teleport Dracula's Castle, the water is sent cascading onto her own soldiers, killing most of them as well.]]
* HorrifyingTheHorror: A [[TerrorHero heroic]] [[TheDreaded example]] with the Belmont clan towards her. Carmilla is smug and arrogant throughout her entire time at castle Dracula and doesn't even mind getting under Dracula's skin. The instant she hears that a Belmont still exists, she immediately loses the smug attitude, becomes tense, and suggests that they send people out to find any weapons or knowledge the Belmonts had used to hunt down vampires.[[spoiler:Given that she becomes TheStarscream and has her own agenda to take over, this fear is justified. She can manipulate or back-stab her fellow vampires, but the Belmonts are hunters and will not stop until their target is dead. Given that the clan has been doing this for centuries and that it's almost certain that the night creatures have tried and been unsuccessful in their destruction, [[BadassFamily this fear is justified.]]]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: For all her arguments about most men being childish and throwing temper tantrums, she is blind to her own womanchild tendencies, like lashing out at others for not getting what she wants.
* IcyBlueEyes: Cold, blue eyes that match her cruel heart.
* {{Jerkass}}: Out of all Dracula's generals, Carmilla is the cruelest of them all, being a sexist, condescending, and surprisingly violent woman who manipulates everyone around her for her own gains.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Carmilla's [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutal]] [[MadeASlave treatment]] of Hector in the second season definitely qualifies. Her side story in the third season revolves around her and the council now trying to decide how to handle Hector being their forgemaster since Carmilla's actions have turned him into too much of a WildCard who resents her.
* LadyInRed: Wears a dark crimson dress and certainly qualifies as an evil example.
* ManipulativeBitch: Towards Hector. At first, she tries to reason that Dracula is far too depressed to actually win the war to get him on her side while continually praising his skill and intelligence. [[spoiler:But the moment that she got what she wanted, she dropped the act and openly stated she saw him as a puppy and now he's forced to help as he's done too much already.]]
* MaskOfSanity: Carmilla puts on a good show of being calm and collected, but [[spoiler:when she begins beating Hector into submission, this slips noticeably, revealing a wild, sadistic monster under that ice.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: Carmilla does not hold a high opinion of her fellow vampires, let alone humans. Much of her disdain comes from the fact that the court is either too foolishly loyal or too cowardly to actually confront Dracula on his insane desire to destroy all humans.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: She held this opinion and is also [[spoiler:the last known of the vampire aristocracy standing after season 2.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Ultimately, all her machinations help the main trio more than they help her. In particular, her [[spoiler:river of holy water all but wipes out the vampire {{mooks}} (including her own) letting the trio storm the castle relatively unopposed, not to mention her scheming keeps two of Dracula's generals out of the final fight, as her scheming led to Godbrand's death and Hector being sidelined]].
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Does this to Hector after making him her slave.
* OhCrap: While the Belmonts are TheDreaded among all the intelligent night creatures, Carmilla seems the most disturbed by the fact that a Belmont still exists. She immediately proposes that they go to the Belmont ancestral home and surveillance of it in the chance that the Belmont goes back there or that they can find any magic, relics, or knowledge that the Belmonts used to hunt monsters for centuries and secure them to protect Dracula (and herself) from danger. [[ProperlyParanoid She is absolutely right in her assumptions and concern in both a Belmont returning there and that there is a massive cache of items, relics, knowledge, and weapons hidden there.]]
** Then there's her reaction when Sypha forcibly teleports Dracula's castle away.
--> "What the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] just happened...?
* OutOfFocus: Partly in season 3 while she still appears and is still important, she fades somewhat to the background while her council gets focus in her story line.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Aside from her [[FantasticRacism low views on humans]], Carmilla is also very dismissive of men.
* PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:When the consecrated water crashes down on her army after the castle is teleported away, she makes an effort to keep Hector with her when she jumps out of danger, as she needs the Devil Forgemaster to rebuild her army.]]
%%* RapeAsBackstory: Implicit, given that she was kept as a SexSlave [[TheStarscream and was very much not happy about that]]. This seems to have her made her very disdainful towards men.
* ResignationsNotAccepted: [[spoiler:After Dracula is killed, Hector attempts to break off ties with Carmilla and go his own way. Carmilla responds by beating him into submission because she was really serious about him being her [[ExactWords pet dog now]].]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Considers herself a brilliant schemer. [[spoiler: Even though it's made clear her ideas only work because Striga, Morana, and Lenore make them work, and even then she insists on claiming credit for them.]]
* SmugSnake: Arrogant, condescending, and self-assured... And completely incredulous and caught off-guard when things don't go her way. The one time she gets physical is when [[spoiler:she strikes and punches Hector into submission after he has been restrained and collared]].
** Furthermore, she's not as clever as she thinks she is, as Isaac and Dracula had her figured out from the outset, and the only reason Dracula didn't stop her was because he ''did not give a shit.''
** [[spoiler:As said above, her idea of creating a vampire fiefdom with humans as livestock is feasible due to the power vacuum left behind by Dracula, but that's all it is: an idea. It takes the combined efforts of Striga, Morana, and Lenore to work through the monumental logistics to make an actual plan to get there and find a way to make Hector loyal. Altogether, Carmilla is ambitious but utterly incompetent when it comes to the real workings behind it with almost all of the work being done by someone other than her.]]
* TheStarscream:
** In her backstory, she was made a master vampire's bride until, in her words, he went mad, and became old and cruel.
** In Season 2, [[spoiler:she plots to do the same to Dracula because he reminds her of her maker]].
* SurroundedByIdiots: Carmilla doesn't think that highly of the war council that Dracula put together or Dracula himself. Thinking the men are either manchildren, old fools, or beasts while the women are too scared or too enraged to do anything.
* TermsOfEndangerment: After the wheels of coup against Dracula gets set into motion, Carmilla drops any pretense of pleasantries she was showing towards Hector and starts referring to him as [[DehumanizingInsult puppy]]. [[spoiler: After Dracula's death, Carmilla proves that she really does mean that she views Hector as her pet now.]]
* UnknownRival:
** Carmilla is this to the protagonists; while she expresses appropriate dread at the presence of a Belmont and Alucard to ruin their plans and has an monster band sent to deal with them, the heroes themselves don't even know about her. [[spoiler:During the climax, they accidentally sabotage her plans by teleporting Castlevania (Dracula's seat of power that she intends to usurp) out of her reach and during the ensuing chaos, her armies get swallowed by the rivers' blessed waters effectively crippling her forces]].
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Nobody gets to confront her at the end, neither the heroes (who didn't even know about her) nor Dracula (who found out about her betrayal, but didn't have time to do anything about it).]]
* VillainHasAPoint:
** For all her arrogance, she does make legitimate points: if Dracula had turned Lisa or even provided her with some basic protection, then the church would have been unable to kill her; Dracula doesn't actually have a plan for his war council; no one can stand up to him because he can invoke BecauseISaidSo; and he is an "old man" ravaged by grief who is engaged in pointless destruction.
** Her betrayal and murder of the vampire who sired her is a straight example, as she alludes to him being abusive. The series also takes place before the industrial revolution, when physical abuse in many regards was not out of the ordinary. So, we had an authority figure who basically answered to no one, is specifically described as being cruel in an era when abuse was practically the norm, and on top of that he's an immortal vampire living in a secluded place where none of his subjects could seek outside help. In short, [[KickTheSonOfABitch he probably had it coming.]]
* VillainousFriendship: She's so close to her three friends Lenore, Striga and Morana that she considers them her sisters as well as her equals.
* VisionaryVillain: What she brings to the table among the four vampiresses. The other, three for all their competency, lack the vision to start something new. Carmilla keeps initiating new ideas and plans for the group. That said, Carmilla is flighty and weak on details so the others have to come up with ways to make her plans a reality.

[[folder:Godbrand]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/godbrand.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PeterStormare (English), Shinpachi Tsuji (Japanese), Oscar Gómez (Latin American Spanish)

One of Dracula's vampire generals and a Viking.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: For Carmilla. He has been apparently trying to court her for years, but she tells Dracula that she'd only consider him if every other vampire male (along with half of the females, and some animals) on Earth dropped dead.
* AndThenWhat: His main contention with Dracula is founded on his concern over what the vampires will do for food when the human "livestock" is eradicated.
* AnythingThatMoves: While it is never demonstrated in the series proper, but multiple characters make reference to his libido. When he's off-camera, his allies tend to joke that he's probably somewhere trying to sleep with someone or something.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:His death not only goes completely unmourned InUniverse, but nobody else seems to notice or care that he is ''gone''. Even his own killer doesn't seem to acknowledge him. Isaac ''had'' said that if anyone needed to be eliminated, no one would even notice. Dracula is briefly curious as to his disappearance, but is ultimately unconcerned.]]
* AwesomeMcCoolname: In Scandinavian languages, ''god'' means ''good'' and ''brand'' means fire. Godbrand would mean "good fire"; or if you want to be more poetic ''god fire''.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Godbrand is for the most part a comedic character and the main source of levity amongst Dracula's forces. He's still a powerful and violent monster, and around "Broken Mast", he leads a raid on a defenseless village and starts eating children.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's a boastful Viking who loves battle, blood, boats, and sex. He sticks out like a sore thumb among his more somber, aristocratic peers.
* TheBrute: Unabashedly so. He is a Viking after all, foul/loud-mouthed and aggressive as evidenced by his first scene. He takes great joy in mutilating his enemies and ripping his prey apart.
* ButtMonkey: He garners little respect from Dracula, his fellow generals, or even the stoical human forgemasters. The only thing Dracula's forces seem to agree on completely is Godbrand's stupidity.
* CanonForeigner: He has no direct game counterpart.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He tells Dracula he dislikes drinking pig's blood because it gives him the shits.
* DumbassHasAPoint:
** For all his pigheadedness, Godbrand has legitimate concerns about Dracula's KillAllHumans plan: If they kill every last human on the planet, what are vampires supposed to eat?
** He also astutely notices that Dracula's too depressed to come up with an actual plan besides "kill everyone", and that the Lord of Darkness is so despondent that he clearly hasn't fed in a while. That said, he also recognizes that, even with Dracula in a weakened and depressed state, he still wouldn't want to challenge him. And considering the CurbstompBattle that Dracula unleashes on the heroes once they storm the castle, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm he's totally right in that assertion]].
* DumbMuscle: Godbrand is rather thick-headed and needs a lot of things explained to him. Carmilla at one point snaps at him in "Old Homes" when he doesn't understand why the Belmont Hold is so important and has to angrily explain that it stores several ancient artifacts and knowledge used to destroy their kind "through fucking centuries," something which ''Godbrand himself should know''. He also thinks he would feel like running water could kill him… despite the fact that it, like poison, is something that he would have to have knowledge could kill him ''without'' "feeling" it could kill him, and the fact that vampires CannotCrossRunningWater, but aren't necessarily killed by it.
* FieryRedhead: The only General with red hair and he is a violent, loud Viking.
* {{Foil}}: As the two named vampires generals of Dracula, Godbrand is an excellent almost-by-the-book foil to Carmilla. Personality-wise, he's crass, dumb, and violent — the typical brute enforcer — while she was sophisticated, manipulative, and played the power game like a Vampire Cersei Lannister — the typical FemmeFatale. Both have contrasting HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Godbrand is surprisingly observant and pragmatic, immediately asked about Dracula's long-term plan, accurately assessed his power, and wisely decided to back down. Carmilla showed a lack of foresight in her attempted coup and a sadistic and cowardly side]]. Appearance-wise, she has white hair and a red dress while he has red hair and white skin.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: No one in Dracula's army really likes him. Carmilla would only entertain the notion of hooking up with him if all of the vampiric males (plus some females and animals) died off. Dracula regards him as a little pissant. [[spoiler:And Isaac straight-up kills him after Godbrand implies they will betray Dracula to his face. No one seems to miss him or take much notice of his absence beyond mild annoyance.]]
* GhostPirate: A variant in that he is an undead Viking.
* HiddenDepths: Godbrand, not without good reason, is generally considered to be thickheaded by his own allies. That said, he's not only the most vocal about the flaws of Dracula's KillAllHumans campaign, he also theorizes that Dracula [[DeathSeeker hasn't been feeding recently and that the whole plan is a large-scale suicide run on the vampire lord's part]] [[TakingYouWithMe meant to take everything else with him]]. The latter is something that ''Alucard'' later picks up on [[spoiler:([[DespairEventHorizon and they were both proven right in the end]])]] and even in regards to the former, Godbrand still readily admits that he wouldn't dare to try and fight Dracula.
* HornyVikings: While he doesn't wear a Viking helmet, he is a proud Viking and takes readily to the whole "RapePillageAndBurn" aspect of Viking life.
* HypocriticalHumor: Twofold. Godbrand sees humans as little more than livestock — literally — and openly whines and gripes about humans taking over the reins. Yet he legitimately takes offense to Hector and Isaac snarking about his Viking lifestyle, and then calls ''them'' out on being bigoted:
-->'''Godbrand:''' Why would he talk to you rather than me? Perhaps he wants to meet with his own kind.
-->'''Hector:''' Godbrand, you've never ''met'' anything you didn't immediately kill, fuck, or make a boat out of.
-->'''Isaac:''' I don't understand why our lord doesn't tie you up with the rest of the animals.
-->'''Godbrand:''' ({{Beat}}) ''Bigot!'' I like boats. I'm a fucking Viking. We're supposed to make boats out of things!
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: An annoyed Hector points out that Godbrand never met anything he didn't want to "kill, fuck, or build a ship out of." Godbrand is more confused at the mention of ship-building as an insult than actually insulted.
* LaughablyEvil: Godbrand's a vicious BloodKnight with nary a redeeming quality and he's ''terrifying'' when he gets serious, but this goes hand-in-hand with his entertaining bullheadedness and PaperTiger tendencies. He gets more comedic moments than any other antagonist in the series. Partially this is because his evil tends to be small-scale and completely impersonal; he'll kill people with ruthless brutality to feed, or even just when he's bored, but he's not really that interested in the large-scale villainy or scheming of Dracula and Carmilla.
* NobodysThatDumb: He may be a pigheaded, bloodthirsty BoisterousBruiser, but even he knows he's no match for Dracula. He admits this freely.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Godbrand is a BloodKnight who relishes fighting, has a high opinion of himself, and from his first appearance displays a willingness to loudly question Dracula's orders. Yet when a noticeably unhinged and furious Dracula gets in his face after one too many complaints, Godbrand uncharacteristically shuts up, looks visibly nervous, and gets out of the room as fast as possible. Later when he's talking with Carmilla, despite having deduced that Dracula is suicidal and is weakened by not consuming blood, he bluntly remarks that he would not like to try and fight Dracula.
* PaperTiger: As a vampire lord, he is more powerful than any normal human and most vampires, but his fellow generals seem to look down on him, while Dracula says Godbrand's bark is far worse than his bite.
* TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: Godbrand's vampiric arrogance is so powerful that he is ''incapable'' of conceptualizing humans as anything but cattle. He balks and sneers at the thought of using strategy against humanity, who he thinks simply need to be culled in waves, and is unwilling or unable to treat the devil forgemasters as comrades.
* ShoutOut: His design bears resemblance to Isaac's game design. Both have red hair, SupernaturalGoldEyes and [[WalkingShirtlessScene only wear pants and armor, which exposes their toned chests]].
* SirSwearsALot: Hoo, boy! And you thought Trevor was fond of throwing around the word "Fuck"!
* SmallNameBigEgo: Played with; he's one of Dracula's generals, meaning that he has significant influence in Vampire society, and when we see him fight against humans, he's a supernatural killing machine, but Dracula remarks that he makes a lot of noise in an effort to appear more important and dangerous than he really is.
* TheStarscream: Played with. He is the first and most vocal critic of Dracula's plan, yet is quick to drop it when Dracula threatens him. However, it's really [[spoiler:Carmilla who talks Godbrand into mutiny — though Isaac puts an end to the viking before anything can come of it]],
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He thinks Isaac is no danger, being a human. How wrong he was.
* TheWatson: He's used as a sounding board for Isaac and Hector in order to get some of their powers and motivations revealed to the audience.
* WouldHurtAChild: He happily leads a massacre of an entire town, kids included.

[[folder:Isaac]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isaac_7.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Adetokumboh M'Cormack (English), Creator/MitsuakiMadono (Japanese), Carlo Vásquez (Latin American Spanish)

One of Dracula's two human generals and a Devil Forgemaster.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Zig-Zagged version. His videogame counterpart is more powerful due to his ability to craft multiple Innocent Devils and, like that version of Hector, is implied to be a master of multiple forms of armed combat, particularly the spear. This version of Isaac only fights with a spiked belt and a short knife that can resurrect corpses into monsters, but he is far more intelligent and mature than his videogame counterpart.
** The biggest difference between the two versions of Isaac is their standing against Hector. The videogame Isaac, despite his powerful abilities, was considered to be inferior to Hector in terms of combat abilities and skill as a Devil Forgemaster. This Isaac is more intelligent than Hector and is capable of killing vampires and multiple people with just his belt and his knife, whereas Hector is always outsmarted by vampires and gets his ass kicked regularly.
* AdaptationalModesty: Isaac in the games wore a very fetishistic outfit. Here, he dons a Devil Forgemaster's crest not unlike Hector's. He does occasionally strip down to flagellate himself.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original games, he was nothing short of a psychotic maniac. While he is still evil here, he is portrayed as a more somber and nihilistic character with a tragic backstory.
* AdaptedOut: There is no mention of his sister Julia, especially in his flashback in his youth.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Isaac admires vampires, Dracula especially, seeing them as "pure" when compared to humans. He was also seemingly in love with his abusive master as a teenager.
* AlasPoorVillain: He gives an in-universe eulogy to a night creature bat that struggled to fly back to the castle and died at the doorstep.
* AmbiguouslyGay: There are a few hints that he might be this, such as when he suggests that him and Hector should kiss each other, the latter states that might be the first time he heard him say a joke, but Isaac says that he never does. The most notable example of this, however, is in a flashback: When he was being tortured for poking around his then-master's things, Isaac confessed that his motivations for doing so were because he loved him and wanted to help, which is said in a more romantic tone rather than in a filial one.
* AndThenWhat: In season 3, Isaac has no real plans after [[spoiler:avenging Dracula, something the Captain picks up on. He's not even fully sure if he wants to kill all humans like Dracula wanted]].
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:Isaac's main goal after season 2 is to find and kill Hector and Carmilla for betraying Dracula]].
* BadassNormal: By all intents and purposes, a normal human who is seen killing ''multiple'' vampires, who are stronger, faster, and more durable than humans, onscreen.
* BaldOfEvil: Isaac is bald in this continuity rather than being a EvilRedhead like in the games.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Isaac explains that his UndyingLoyalty to Dracula is because the latter was the first person to treat him with respect and kindness. This is a recurring thing with Isaac in season 3, meeting the shopkeeper and captain actually makes him question his hatred of humanity simply because they were kind to him.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Despite being rather passive and keeping to himself, he should ''not'' be in any way underestimated. [[spoiler:Killing Godbrand, a centuries-old and powerful vampire, didn't even require that much effort on Isaac's part.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler:Shaping up to be this with Carmilla after the death of Dracula.]]
* BlackBestFriend: Dracula's closest friend.
* BoomerangBigot: Isaac hates human with a passion as much, if not more, than Dracula. And he is one.
* CharacterDevelopment: During Season 3, he begins questioning his quest to destroy humanity after encountering several individuals who make him consider human kindness in spite of human cruelty. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, every time he finds a kind individual who aids him, [[SuicidalOverconfidence he always meets a group of guards that try to chase him off despite his large army of monsters at his back]], leading him into despair, only now with an army of the monsters created from the dead at his disposal.]]
* CoveredInScars: Being a former slave and a self-harmer, he's got quite a number of them all over his body and his ShirtlessScene gives us a good glimpse.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: A former slave who has been beaten and mistreated by almost everyone he encountered.
* DeadpanSnarker: So deadpan that he had to tell Hector that he ''wasn't'' in fact making a joke.
-->'''Hector:''' I know that, strictly speaking, we've never really been friends.\\
'''Isaac:''' It seems counterproductive to cultivate human friends when we're engaged in the project of ending the human race.\\
'''Hector:''' But we are in the same side.\\
'''Isaac:''' Is this where we kiss like benedictine monks from different monasteries?
* DecompositeCharacter: Alongside Hector, he shares a few similarities with Death to be specific, his UndyingLoyalty and VillainousFriendship with Dracula. In addition, his appearance slightly resembles Zead — Death's human disguise. Given the events in the season 2 finale, he might also be the show's equivalent of of Shaft the dark priest.
* TheDragon: While he and Hector are CoDragons with equal amount of authority as the ones heading the army, Isaac fills the position more as Dracula's most trusted confidant and aide. Notably, Isaac is the one who enters into combat at his master's stead even willing to face down the protagonists before they fight Dracula himself.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Dracula's death, Isaac decides he might like his own army and begins to create one...]]
* EvilIsPetty: While the shopkeep and captain make Isaac rethink his hatred of humanity due to their kindness, he quickly returns to his mindset simply because he found it rude that the local authorities demanded that he leaves their towns when he has an army of night creatures at his beck and call.
* EyeScream: Isaac seems to have a fondness for inflicting this on his enemies. He killed his abusive caretaker by shoving his thumbs into his eye sockets and [[spoiler:kills one bandit this way in the Season 2 finale]].
* FightsLikeANormal: Isaac can turn the deceased into demons, and yet when he fights, he uses only his knife and his spiked belt with great efficiency. [[spoiler:He made short work of Godbrand using completely mundane methods, too.]] Justified, as the act of forging only works on human corpse, not vampires.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: His backstory has him start out as a slave. By the end of the season, he’s wiping out entire bands of slavers and adding them to an army of slaves he has planned.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: Near the end of Season 3 it is revealed that Isaac is the one behind the events of the main plot, as he is the one who created the demon that enthralled the monks in the priory into opening the Infinite Corridor, in an attempt to revive Dracula and continue his master's work.]]
* HeroicWillpower: A villainous variant [[spoiler: when he overcomes the Magician's mind-slaving abilities long enough to stick a dagger in him.]]
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Though Isaac hates humanity and plots their end, there are a number of scenes that show he doesn't subscribe to this mindset. Dracula saving him from the magicians who sought to chop him up was a major turning point in his beliefs, but unlike other characters, he doesn't view the capacity for evil as a purely human trait. He sees that same capacity in characters like Godbrand for their treachery, and he even defends this mindset when talking to Hector. Hector believes that animals only act on instinct and aren't capable of the kind of cruelty that humans are, while Isaac states that animals can be just as pointlessly cruel and that while humanity's evil is clear, it's not unique.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He kills [[spoiler:Godbrand]] with a spiked belt!
* InNameOnly: Really, he has literally nothing to do with the Isaac of ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness Curse of Darkness]]'' aside from sharing the same name and position. It's just as well to take them as completely different characters.
* KnifeNut: He uses a magical knife not only as a weapon of choice, but as a tool for devil forging.
* LoveFreak: [[DeconstructedTrope A dark take]] on this. Isaac believes there is not enough love in the world and wishes to rectify this... with genocide.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: [[spoiler: Throughout Season 3, Isaac is shown some of humanity's good qualities by the unlikeliest of sources who he encounters in his journey for revenge. Unfortunately, he falls into the same situation one too many times where the populace of several towns wants him and his demons to either leave or die, causing him to drop his composure and murder everyone.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: Despite being human, Dracula trusts his two Devil Forgemasters because they genuinely hate humanity. [[spoiler: Events in Season 3 cause him to doubt this mindset, but then other events transpire that quickly lead him right back to despising humanity.]]
* MoralityPet: He is the only human Dracula treats with genuine kindness and respect after Lisa's death. [[spoiler:When he prepares to die defending Dracula, his friend sends him away to safety.]]
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Isaac has UndyingLoyalty towards Dracula, even when presented with evidence that Dracula's war against humanity would, at best, only result in a PyrrhicVictory for the Vampires.
* NeverMyFault: In Season 3, he treats being ordered to leave a place by the townguards as confirmation that [[HumansAreBastards humanity is wretched]], openly ignoring the fact that even the most tolerant of people wouldn't be happy with him bringing an army of demons into their town.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Usually works as a Forgemaster on the sidelines; but if forced into direct action, he won't screw around. As soon as [[spoiler:Godbrand confirms his intent to betray Dracula]], Isaac doesn't hesitate to [[spoiler:slaughter him via SneakAttack and dispose of his ashes]]. And right after [[spoiler:being separated from his master in the Season 2 finale]] — he proceeds to [[spoiler:kill a group of bandits in self-defense (with similar [[CombatPragmatist Combat Pragmatism]] to how he killed Godbrand), raise their corpses as undead {{Mooks}}, and [[StartMyOwn Start His Own]] army to continue Dracula's legacy]]. Combine this with his UndyingLoyalty, and he's basically the [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Soundwave]] of Dracula's forces.
* NotSoStoic: He's horrified and screaming when he realizes that [[spoiler:Dracula means to go against his wishes and spare him, DyingAlone]].
* PetTheDog: He speaks to a demon corpse rather warmly while resurrecting it.
-->''I'm sorry. You struggled so hard to come back home. So loyal.''
* RaceLift: He is portrayed as black in the show, whereas in the games he was a white redhead.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Notably, his clothes are purely black compared to Hector's, his Devil Forgemaster fire/aura when working on bodies is red, and the Night Creatures he creates have [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] with [[BlackEyesOfEvil black sclera]].
* ReligiousBruiser: Isaac is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} Sufi, a branch of the Islamic faith]]. He uses "Peace be upon him" when referring to the Prophet Muhammad, and the reason why he summons demons is to fulfill one of his sayings about "Hell being emptied".
* SelfHarm: Whips himself regularly with a short belt ''embedded with tiny spikes.'' When asked why he does it, he replies he does it for his own discipline, a sense of peace, numbing himself to a horrible world, and reminding himself that he still makes his own choices.
* ShoutOut: The combination of Isaac's personality, skin color, sexual orientation, VillainousFriendship with Dracula, and [[spoiler:his intent of AvengingTheVillain at the end of the second season]] is heavily reminscient of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Enrico Pucci]], a human who was an incredibly trusted friend (and possible lover) of the villainous vampire [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureDIO Dio]].
* TheStoic: In the present, he's very cool and calm.
* UndyingLoyalty: The most loyal of all Dracula's subjects. Dracula confides in him far more than Hector or any of the others and Isaac even admits that he'll kill anyone suspected of taking action against them without a second thought. It's precisely for this reason that [[spoiler:Dracula saves his life by sending him through a portal to a distant location]].
* UnknownRival: By the third season, Isaac has dedicated his life to avenging Dracula by [[ArchEnemy killing Carmilla]] for her betrayal and continuing his vision of exterminating all of the humans. Carmilla is not even aware that Isaac managed to survive the events of the second season.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler: While he ''is'' directly responsible for the events of the main plot of Season 3, Isaac's priorities are focused elsewhere. Specifically, he is hellbent on revenge against Hector and Carmilla for betraying him and Dracula, and is raising up his own army of hellspawn.]]
* VillainousFriendship: He serves Dracula with utter loyalty and it is clear Dracula holds him in high regard as well, trusting him with his concerns. The two openly refer to each other as friends and remember the moment of their first meeting down to the last detail.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: Twice in Season 3, he starts to think that maybe humanity isn't so bad and twice, someone tries to kill him. This is partially his own fault, what with his public flaunting of his horrific demon army in a town and the local police are reasonably unsettled.]]
* YouAreWorthHell: Platonic example; he tells Dracula that it is worth dying for his best friend, if it means the world still has Dracula. [[spoiler:Dracula doesn't quite agree, and sends Isaac away from the battle.]]

[[folder:Hector]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hector_4.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TheoJames (English), Creator/TakahiroSakurai (Japanese), Alejandro Orozco (Latin American Spanish)

One of Dracula's two human generals and a Devil Forgemaster who performs necromancy.
----
* AbusiveParents: His father was a greedy, power-hungry Alchemist who'd insult Hector when he says he's being cruel and his mother outright told him to his face she never wanted him.
* AdaptedOut: So far, there's no mention of Rosaly, his late wife from the games.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the games, Hector was an angry and vengeful man who was distrusting and belligerent to everyone he came across. In the show he is stoic and much more affable, as well as too naive and easily manipulated.
* AdaptationalCurves: Inverted. Hector is much less muscular than his game counterpart.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original continuity, he rebelled against Dracula because he started to kill humans and also was TheHero of [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness his own game]]. Here, he doesn't have a problem with genocide and remains a loyal follower. It's somewhat mitigated by having a sympathetic backstory that pushes him into AntiVillain territory. [[spoiler:He does betray Dracula, but that is because he is tricked by Carmilla into doing it.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler:While the game Hector was a complete badass capable of facing Dracula himself, this Hector is reduced to ineffectually cringing and begging for Carmilla's mercy when she pummels him into submission. Even more galling was that he didn't even lose his powers like his game counterpart.]] This trend doesn't end in Season 3. It somehow gets worse. [[spoiler: Poor guy spends the entire season being able to do absolutely nothing. Finding a meek-looking vampiress that he may use to escape? [[ActionGirl She's stronger than she looks]] and wipes the floor with him. Him seemingly having leverage over the vampires because they need his loyalty? He gets magically enslaved and loyalty is no longer needed. A vampire falling in love with him and offering to break him out so they can be together? Too bad, she's just lowering his guard so she can place the aforementioned magical enslavement on him. There being a HopeSpot where she may harbor genuine feelings for him underneath it all? Nope, he's just a SexSlave to her, nothing more. Quite a far cry from his video game counterpart.]]
* AffablyEvil: He's the most approachable out of Dracula's generals and tries to stay on civil terms with the rest. While he's fine with the mass murder of humanity, he'd rather just stop at culling them and give them merciful deaths.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Possibly; despite his overall brilliance and the horror-show that was his upbringing, his worldview is oddly naive, and he has significant difficulty relating to other people or interacting with members of the court. On top of that, he's very easy to manipulate, as noted by both Carmilla and Dracula. At least one theory pegs him as autistic.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin is slightly more tanned than other European characters, but he doesn't appear to be full-blown black like Isaac. His birthplace isn't stated, but it's implied he might be a Turk (due to his ethnicity) or a Greek (due to his name).
* AnimalMotifs: Dogs. He's introduced having made a zombie dog using his Forgemaster ability, and both Carmilla and Lenore call him a pet and use lines would expect a person to use with a dog with him like "Good Boy".
* AntiVillain: Hector views humans like animals and is fine with the idea of killing some and letting the rest live, but he clearly has his unease when it becomes clear Dracula is advocating for wholesale genocide.
* TheBlacksmith: As a Forgemaster, he uses his own magic hammer to resurrect the dead.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: When you consider it a kindness to cull humanity like herding cattle, it's hard to be anything but this trope.
* BoomerangBigot: While not as strong as Isaac, Hector also has a disliking for humans even though he is one.
* TheChewToy: The man just ''cannot'' catch a break by anyone he trusts. [[spoiler:Dracula, Carmilla and Lenore all lie to, use and betray him, and force him into worse and worse forms of servitude.]]
* ChildProdigy: Implied; Isaac describes Forging as a skill to be learned, but a flashback depicts Hector reanimating animals at an early age, using only coins he had on hand, so he may have been born with natural talent for it.
* CreepyChild: He had a thing for resurrecting recently dead or decaying animals, to the horror of his parents.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hector grew up with AbusiveParents and killed them at one point.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: He's got a bit of a tan going on and white hair.
* DecompositeCharacter: Alongside with Isaac, he shares a few similarities with Death, such as his necromantic powers and being undyingly loyal to Dracula.
* DownfallBySex: Deciding to have sex with [[spoiler:Lenore, and tell her that he "[[ExactWords belonged to her]]" in the throes of passion is what leads to him being forcefully enslaved by a magic ring.]]
* DropTheHammer: He is able to magically summon a warhammer to use in combat.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's perfectly okay with killing humans en masse and reducing them to harmless livestock for vampires to feed, yet he does not at all like causing undue suffering or torture and would prefer quick and merciful deaths.
* FailedASpotCheck: Despite traveling with Carmilla for an entire month, he never notices that she doesn't wear any ring. [[spoiler: This comes back to bite him hard as Lenore is able to trick him into ignoring the soon-to-be slavemaster ring on her finger by telling him that the entire Styrian quartet wear one.]]
* FluffyTamer: He's actually really good with animals. One problem: ''They're all zombies.'' Notably, he's so good with night creature animals that they ''act'' like tamed pets instead of the slavering monsters one would expect.
* {{Foil}}: To Isaac. Both of them are the only human generals in Dracula's council and have a certain amount of disdain for humanity. Hector wears blue, is more personable, and has been noted on his ManChild nature while Isaac wears red, is reserved except towards Dracula, and his troubled past made him less wide-eyed than Hector. Also, while Hector came to trust Carmilla over Dracula, it led to him being enslaved by her, while Isaac's UndyingLoyalty toward Dracula was rewarded when the vampire saved him from death.
* GildedCage: [[spoiler: Finds himself in this at the end of Season 3. He's got luxurious living quarters, fine food and drink, an expansive selection of books and a beautiful lover...who keeps him as a SexSlave and forces him to make a demon army under the threat of being put in unimaginable pain by a slave ring.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** He really thinks Carmilla respects and values him. Nice job, bro.
** This has become something of a reoccuring flaw for Hector leading to him suffering a lot of misery. He pledges himself to Dracula because of his disdain for humanity, not realizing that Dracula is planning to kill all the humans. Carmilla later tricks him into becoming an accomplice in her coup, not realizing that she was plotting to assassinate Dracula. Come season 3 [[spoiler: now a captive of Carmilla, he places all of his trust in Lenore who is the first person to show him true affection in his life, but this was all a ploy on her end to make him her slave.]]
* HumanPet:
** [[spoiler:Carmilla openly calls him her pet at the end of Season 2.]]
** Taken UpToEleven with [[spoiler:Lenore in Season 3, who truly makes him her pet. The other vampire sisters even jokingly exclaim "You ''adopted'' him!"]]
* {{Irony}}: He wished for Dracula's war to leave a fragment of the human race alive as penned cattle for the vampires, living at the sufferance of their masters and with no control over their lives — a fate he genuinely thought was kind. At the end of Season 2, [[spoiler:he becomes a vampire's helpless pet, living at her sufferance and with no control over his life — and very much does not enjoy this. He even despairs in season 3 when made Lenore's pet, saying his life is ruined]].
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His hair comes down to his shoulders, and he's quite easy on the eyes.
* MadeASlave:
** [[spoiler:At the end of Season 2, he is enslaved by Carmilla in order to create more demons for her army.]]
** [[spoiler:Turned up to eleven in season 3, by Lenore. Now if he even thinks of turning against the 4 vampire sisters he will feel unimaginable agony.]]
* MaleFrontalNudity: [[spoiler: Hector spends the first half of the third season stripped naked and locked in a cell. The viewer gets treated to the full display in the third episode, [[FanDisservice though it comes from the result of watching him get beaten by Lenore]].]]
* ManChild: Everyone equates Hector with the same child who was raising dead animals to be his pets — a kid who never really grew up. He dislikes the chaos of the bickering generals and relates everything back to animals, something he understands. This makes him naive and easily manipulated as a result.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Like Isaac, he too hates humanity and unlike in the games, willingly joined Dracula to cull humanity, unlike the game counterpart who left Dracula's service when he started hunting humans. Though he often disagrees with acts of unnecessary cruelty and states that while he loathes humanity, he doesn't want a genocide, just a culling.
* MoralityPet: Hector ''thinks'' he's one to Dracula, not knowing that Dracula was planning on purging all of the humans. When Lenore questions him if he really believed that he would be exempt from Dracula's purge, he can't confidently answers. This ends up being a reoccuring FatalFlaw of Hector's as well because he also believed that he was this to Carmilla [[spoiler: and later Lenore herself.]]
* MortonsFork: As Lenore repeatedly tells him, he truly has no good options as a captive of the Styrian sisters. His choices are to rot in a dungeon eating maggot-infested meat, be tortured until he complied with their wishes, be tortured ''just because'', be killed, or humor Lenore's attempts to treat him civilly even though [[AtLeastIAdmitIt she confesses that her goals are sinister]]. [[spoiler:It turns out that these options are all lies; Lenore's ultimate goal is to enforce a slave pact on him which makes the other options unnecesary.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: A Devil Forgemaster with silver hair, even as a child.
* OhCrap: In season 3, Hector becomes absolutely horrified [[spoiler:the moment that Lenore gently and sweetly shoos him during a conversation with her sisters, the way one shushes a dog that wants attention at the wrong time.]]
--> "Shush. The ''real people'' are talking."
* PetTheDog: Literally. He often raised dead animals with his powers and he treated them as his pets. He is often seen accompanied by an undead puppy during the series. Deconstructed slowly, however: his constant infantilization of deadly creatures as harmless animals is viewed as childish.
* PrettyBoy: He's a slender young man with a slim face. His good looks have been noted by Carmilla and Lenore.
* RaceLift: His animated counterpart is rather AmbiguouslyBrown while in the games he was pale as a ghost. (It's stated that he's from "east of Rhodes", so he may be Turkish.)
* SelfMadeOrphan: He murdered his abusive parents by locking them inside their house and burning it to the ground.
-->'''Hector's Mother''': Hector? Hector, unlock this door at once! ''[[OhCrap Are you burning something out there?!]]'' (''her and Hector's Father's voices fade out into agonised screams against the roar of flames'')
* SexSlave: He is turned into one [[spoiler:by Lenore, and she makes it clear that she wants him treated well and to have a large bed because she plans to "train" him to be better at sex.]]
* ShamefulStrip: In Season 3, [[spoiler: he is lock in a cage completely naked and wears nothing except a collar after becoming Carmilla's slave.]]
* SlaveCollar: [[spoiler:Forced into one of these by Carmilla and then again by Lenore.]]
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:It doesn’t dawn on Hector until the season's end that the reason Carmilla specifically reached out to ''him'' as her "ally" to stage a coup against Dracula was because she planned to enslave Hector after the fact to be the forger for her own army. After Dracula does die, Hector attempts to break away and gets beaten into submission as a response.]]

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Lies? In your house of God? No wonder He has abandoned you."'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore (English), Dennis Mohme (German), Salvador Reyes (Latin American Spanish)

The demon at the head of the assault on Gresit.
----
* BreakingSpeech: Blue Fangs dresses the Bishop down entirely, revealing that he has no protection from God because [[GodIsDispleased God is disgusted with what the Bishop has done in His name]].
--> '''Blue Fangs''': "Your life's work makes Him puke."
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Distinguished from his fellows by his blue colored glow.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Blue Fangs makes it plainly clear that he is disgusted by the Bishop's actions and the actions of the Church and that they shame God with their rampant fanaticism.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Even before he's shown, his raspy bass voice lets the audience know exactly what kind of creature we're dealing with.
-->'''Bishop''': Are the Speakers dead?
-->'''Blue Fangs''': '' '''No''' ''
* {{Expy}}:
** His overall design, besides the giant, glowing blue fangs, is likely based on Pazuzu from the games.
* FamousLastWords: "There's an army of us! ''An army! From Hell''!" Trevor spits this back in his face by [[spoiler:whipping him with the Vampire Killer, causing Blue Fangs to explode]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: He speaks in a deep, polite tone, but his words to the Bishop are simply scathing.
* GodIsDispleased: The demon is quite happy to inform the Bishop that God hates evil, no matter the source, and His divine protection isn't without conditions.
--> '''Blue Fangs''': "Your God's love is not unconditional. He does not love us... and He does not love you."
* LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:After his head is slashed by the Vampire Killer, his body explodes like any other demon.]]
* MookLieutenant: He has a distinctive design that makes him stand out from the other demons, he speaks and thus is characterized more than the hordes of monsters, and he leads the Gresit assault. This also makes him the final boss of sorts for the first season.
* NoNameGiven: We only know him by his FanNickname.
* OccultBlueEyes: His six eyes glow with the same unnatural blue as his fangs.
* NotSoDifferent: Invokes this in a mocking fashion towards the Bishop, pointing out that he is more like a demon than a pious servant of God. And that God holds him in the same low regard as the hordes of hell.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers a much-needed one to the Bishop.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When he's been [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice skewered]] on an icicle after several of his demons have been killed, he rants and raves about Dracula having "[[LegionsOfHell an army of us from Hell]]".]] A far cry from his calm demeanor when speaking to the Bishop.
* VillainHasAPoint: His ''[[BreakingSpeech vicious]]'' takedown of the Bishop points out an undeniable fact: It was the ''Bishop'' and his actions that brought Dracula's army to Wallachia.
--> '''Blue Fangs''': "This is all your fault, isn't it?"
* VillainsNeverLie: Blue Fangs words to the Bishop are as brutal and harsh as they are true. He even goes as far to call out the Bishops lies when he tries to make excuses for his actions.
--> '''Blue Fangs''': "[[LegionsOfHell We]] couldn't be here without you."

* BreathWeapon: Gaibon shoots fire for his part in the battle
* BladeOnAStick: Slogra carries a large spear that it uses in battle.
* EliteMooks: While they're just monsters like the other creatures the main trio fights, they are skilled enough to go toe-to-toe with Alucard and keep him on the defensive.
* FlyingMook: Gaibon is capable of flight.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Slogra is killed with its own spear.

[[folder:The Visitor]]
A Night Creature that attacks Lindhelm following Dracula's defeat.
----
* BioluminescenceIsCool: It has a fairly distinctive appearance with brightly colored glowing tendrils.
* HealingFactor: After [[spoiler:absorbing all the souls of Lindhelm]], it rapidly heals from even the devastating blasts of the Morning Star.
* ItCanThink: Unlike most Night Creatures, it's intelligent enough to understand alchemical symbols and undertake a complex plan.
* FertileFeet: Its presence causes the growth of distinctive bioluminescent mushrooms.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:It's the brains behind Prior Sala's plan]].
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Not the Visitor's death, but [[spoiler:its plan is a failsafe of Isaac's in the case of Dracula's death]].
* PlayAlongPrisoner: When Saint-Germain finds it [[spoiler:crucified in the chapel's basement]], it's there of its own volition.
* WalkingSpoiler: What exactly it's role in the story is gives away a lot of the mystery and conspiracy of Season 3.

->'''Voiced by:''' Gildart Jackson

A Night Creature in Isaac’s army with the ability to speak, much like Blue Fangs.
----
* EvilFeelsGood: Came to this conclusion during his time in Hell.

* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: In life, he ratted out his fellow philosophers to the Christians to save his own life. He was rewarded with death instead.

!!Carmilla's Council
[[folder:General]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carmillacouncil.png]]
Carmilla's three closest allies, Lenore, Striga, and Morana, who conspired with her behind the scenes to launch a coup against Dracula. Although Carmilla is the named-ruler of Styria, the actual rule is shared amongst the four.
----
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: They are hellbent on dominating mankind, much like Dracula. Unlike Dracula, they have no intention of wiping them out and want to keep them as food.
* AmazonBrigade: This vampire legion is composed of only women.
* DragonAscendant: The council's goal in the third season is to carry on Dracula's original plan of walling and herding off a large enough number of humans to serve as their eternal food supply, before his VillainousBreakdown led to his "kill all humans" vendetta.
* FamilyOfChoice: They consider each other sisters, and two of them are in a relationship.
* FantasticRacism: Like Carmilla, the rest of the council only views humans as no more than live stock. Lenore is the one outlier, as she is willing to negotiate with humans who prove to be valuable to their ambitions but even then [[spoiler: like with Hector, she only views them as a pet that can double as a sex slave, at best.]]
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Each of the four sisters neatly fall into shades of this:
** Carmilla, the ruler, is the Sanguine. She comes up with the ideas that the others rallies behind.
** Striga, the fighter, is Choleric. She serves as the VoiceOfReason and tries to rein in Carmilla's more ambitious ideas.
** Lenore, the diplomat, is Phlegmatic. She is [[FairPlayVillain the most willing to negotiate]] with enemies, but also the most manipulative of the four.
** Morana, the planner, is Melancholic. She is the most willing to think of the long term consequences of their actions, and strategizes how to enact Carmilla's schemes.
* ItIsDehumanizing: Carmilla's sisters shares her knack for referring to Hector as "It." The only exception is Lenore, who is seemingly the most rationale of the four. [[spoiler: Though just the same, she peppers all her compliments to him by saying "Good Boy" and by the seasons end views him as a pet and sex slave]].
* PragmaticVillainy: Rather than wiping out humanity like Dracula, their goal is to control a section of their country, keeping humans like cattle to serve as food. Their logic behind this is that this will give them a steady supply of food, if they can breed and control the humans selectively. Morana even discusses things like guards, supply lines, etc. when discussing how to go about this.
* TrueCompanions: Occasional bickering aside, the four sisters are loyal to one another and work as a unit to see their goals achieved.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lenore]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JessicaBrownFindlay (English)
One of Carmilla's Sisters who acts as the diplomat of the group.
----
* AffablyEvil: As the self-proclaimed Diplomat of the council, Lenore is courteous in her interactions with Hector rather than trying to kill or torture him like the rest of the council. [[spoiler: This doesn't stop her from giving him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown or making him a slave at the end of the third season.]]
* {{Ambadassador}}: She claims this is her role in the group.
* AnimalLover: According to Carmilla, she once found a spider with one of its legs broken, and "tore the castle apart finding something small enough to make a splint out of".
* {{Animorphism}}: She can turn into a swarm of bats when threatened.
* BastardGirlfriend: At the end of Season 3, [[spoiler:she claims Hector as her SexSlave while exhibiting little concern for his feelings or dignity. While she ''does'' demand that her sisters allow him to live in luxury while within their castle, this is simply PragmaticVillainy on her part: she wants her new pet to comfortable, healthy, and ready to service her sexually.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She ingratiates herself and befriends Hector [[spoiler:only to reveal that it was all a scheme to turn him into her personal SexSlave while also fulfilling the goals of her sisters.]]
* TheChessmaster: Much of the third season involves the council trying to decide how to ensure Hector's loyalty so that he can reliably create their army. The sisters conclude that true loyalty is impossible at this point, so Carmilla and Morana are perfectly satisfied torturing him while Striga simply wants to kill him. Lenore opts to try and reason with him. [[spoiler: Through {{gaslighting}}, she manages to trick Hector into becoming her slave, and forms a pact in which he is unable to either disobey or turn his forged monsters against his masters. The rest of the council are both impressed and horrified with her efficiency.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Lenore ''genuinely'' does not see what grievances Hector could have with [[spoiler:an existence as her pampered pet]], because, as with all humans, she sees him as a dumb animal.
* EvilCounterpart: She serves as one to Sypha in season 3. They are both redheads whose romantic relationships are in focus for the season. They have both used the line "good boy" when talking to their respective love interest but while Sypha was joking, [[spoiler:Lenore really means it. Sypha might wear the pants in her relationship but she actually respects Trevor while Lenore only sees Hector as a pet.]] Sypha in season 3 is something of a BloodKnight who enjoys adventures while Lenore is a self-declared diplomat but Syhpha is benevolent and can work with anyone for the greater good as seen by her friendship with {{dhampyr}} Alcuard, Lenore instead looks down on humanity and is working on turning Eastern Europe into a blood farm.
* {{Expy}}: It's not apparent right away, but as the season goes on it's easy to see that Lenore is [[spoiler: the series' version of The Succubus boss from the games, purposefully using her sexuality to manipulate and control Hector]].
* TheDarkChick: The quietest and most polite among Carmilla and her council, demure and ladylike compared to Carmilla's sultriness and Striga's musculature. She styles herself their diplomat, solving problems through negotiation and charisma, and certainly appears to be the least physically threatening among them. [[spoiler:She even invokes HighHeelFaceTurn as part of her final manipulation of Hector, saying the two of them can run away together and be free of Carmilla. She was lying, and Hector fell for it.]]
* DissonantSerenity: The way she casually discusses horrible topics like eating people and torture comes off as both creepy and oddly endearing. [[spoiler: It tricks Hector into letting his guard down and trusting Lenore long enough to enslave him. Then later, she discusses the manner in which she enslaved Hector with her sisters almost like a giddy child explaining their science project. This same dissonance as she shushes him and implies that he's not one of the "real people" causes [[OhCrap the reality to finally sink in for Hector]].]]
* TheFace: She describes herself as the "diplomat" of the four sisters, and prefers to use conversation and commerce to get what they want. [[spoiler:As well as lies and treachery, when possible.]]
* FairPlayVillain: She presents herself as this; when trying to reason with Hector, she repeatedly asks him what he wants and rebukes any notion of coercing him into doing what she wants because she believes in commerce--both parties get a little of what they want. [[spoiler: Ultimately zig-zagged, though. The season ends with her getting ''ALL'' of what she wanted: a loyal forgemaster who can create monsters that can't betray them as well as a brand new pet/SexSlave that she can enjoy for herself. That said, she goes out of her way to tell her sisters that Hector will be pampered in his new role, explicitly stating "He gets ''something'' out of this" without any real reason to make such a promise.]]
* FieryRedhead: Subverted. She's fairly calm most of the time and tells Hector she makes peace, but when pushed, she can become very violent.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** When Carmilla first mentions that they have Hector inside the dungeon, the camera gives shows a [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent look over at Lenore]]. It's easy to tell that she had already become intrigued by him and was looking for an excuse to interact.
** During her beat-down of Hector, she takes the time to kiss him on the lips. [[spoiler:This hints at her attraction and plan to make him her SexSlave]].
** The fact that Lenore would always [[spoiler: buffer any compliment she gave Hector by saying "good boy" was an early sign of her true nature and that she didn't view him as anything more than a pet.]]
* {{Gaslighting}}: Her interactions with Hector can certainly cross into this territory. [[spoiler: Making him question himself of why he ever allied with Dracula in the first place, telling him that Carmilla's previous NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of him was actually an act of mercy, convincing him that ''she'' is his one true life-line. This all culminates in Lenore tricking Hector into becoming her slave.]]
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: She’s even more manipulative than Carmilla, and completely on board with her plan to forge a vampire empire with humans for chattel. Her only redeeming qualities being she’s not unnecessarily violent, or needlessly cruel in getting what she wants, [[spoiler: and when she magically enslaves Hector into being her pet, she insists on his well-being and comfort like most responsible pet owners.]]
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: By the end of Season 3, Lenore proves to everyone, including her sisters, that she is probably the most dangerous of them all. [[spoiler:While lacking the ambition, power or inventiveness of the other sisters, Lenore used her wits, charm and cunning to solve what the other three had written off as an "impossible" problem. When they learn just how thoroughly Lenore has secured Hector's obedience, they are incredibly impressed and proclaim that Lenore is the true genius among them.]]
* OneToMillionToOne: Can transform into a swarm of bats. She uses this ability to escape from Hector's clutches after he grabs her.
* PetTheDog: She is the only one of the Styrian sister to treat Hector with any kindness. [[spoiler:Which turned out to simply be a means to an end. Her one and only true (seeming) gesture of kindness is to demand to her sisters that Hector will be get something back for being their slave. Although, that is implied to only be for selfish reasons as well.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: She demands that her sisters give Hector a nice home, comfortable living quarters, and freedom within the castle because she wants him to be compensated for what he does. [[spoiler:Her reasons are partly because he will be her personal sex slave, and she does not want him harmed, unclean or unkempt.]]
* SilkHidingSteel: She speaks calmly and softly, with her small height and delicate features making her seem weaker than her sisters. Hector learns the hard way that just because she's not outwardly threatening doesn't mean she's not just as dangerous as her sisters could be.
* TheSociopath: [[spoiler: The true cap to Lenore's behavior towards Hector is that she is oblivious to his pain and is even convinced that she is doing what's in his best interests.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Lenore likes [[InvokedTrope to present herself as this]], as the council's diplomat. [[spoiler: This is all proven to lie, and underneath Lenore is perhaps the most manipulative of the four to get her way.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Lenore might be trying to win over Hector's loyalty, but she is correct that Dracula lied to and manipulated him, and Hector only assumed he would be an exception to Dracula's plans for humanity without actually making an agreement that he would be spared.
* VillainousFriendship: She really does have her sisters in high regard. Even though she didn't need to, after enslaving Hector, she gives the others rings similar to her own to control Hector - making him a shared resource for the team.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Striga]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/IvanaMilicevic (English)
One of Carmilla's Sisters who acts as the general of the group.
----
* AmazonianBeauty: She's noticeably the tallest and most muscled of her sisters.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: You'd be forgiven for thinking she's an androgynous man at first glance with her tall height, muscles, clothing and rather deep voice.
* TheBrute: She is explicitly referred to as the "fighter" of the quartet and certainly packs the physique that goes along with it. Unlike most examples she is no less intelligent than the rest of the villains, and is actually a good deal smarter than Carmilla.
* ButchLesbian: Is in a relationship with Morana, and is both androgynously masculine-looking and a gruff fighter.
* CodeOfHonour: She's implied to hold a strong martial code. While she can make elaborate military plans well into advance, it didn't occur to her until Morana mentioned it that [[OnlyInItForTheMoney mercenaries could be bribed into switching sides]] since there'd be no honor for such turncoat actions.
* FourStarBadass: She's the military leader of Styria and given how strong tiny Lenore is, Striga must truly be a powerhouse as the muscle of the four.
* GeniusBruiser: Even though she is supposed to be TheBrute of Carmilla's tetrarchy, Striga is absolutely no Godbrand, being prudent when it comes to reviewing their strategy, tactics and their forces' capabilities.
* TheLancer: Striga is the sister that will point out the flaws in Carmilla's plans regardless of it's potential. And while Carmilla is happy to let her sisters work out the details of her plans while she messes around, Striga is the type of person to meticulously plan out every step even at the cost of sleep.
* LargeAndInCharge: One of the rulers of Styria and she's the size of Dracula but with far more muscle.
* LesbianVampire: She is a ButchLesbian vampire in a relationship with a LipstickLesbian one.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: In her relationship with Morana, Striga is the more masculine counterpart to Morana's more feminine character.
* OnlySaneWoman: She's the most willing of her sisters to question Carmilla's plans, constantly finding holes in her logic that Carmilla is either unwilling to focus on, or just doesn't seem to realize.
* PragmaticVillainy: Striga is the most cautious of the four and views Hector as too much a WildCard for his forged army to potentially be useful. She states that she'd rather kill him before he becomes a potential threat than chance it.
* RapunzelHair: It's nearly the size of her.
* RealMenHateAffection: Gender inverted, ButchLesbian Striga jokes that Morana's statement of them falling in love in a fairy tale castle makes her sick.
* TokenGoodTeammate: {{Downplayed}}. She is pretty evil still, and has no problems slaughtering humans, but she is the only one of Carmilla's sisters who seems to have any concept of standards. Part of this seems to stem from her OnlySaneMan mindset, which has her be the only one who sees how silly Carmilla's plans are, and it takes a lot to convince her to fully agree with her.
* UnholyMatrimony: Striga and Morana are evil vampires who're in love with one another.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Morana]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Yasmine Al Massri (English)
One of Carmilla's Sisters who acts as the planner and torturer.
----
* DeadpanSnarker: Lenore is frequently sarcastic and often engages in SnarkToSnarkCombat with Carmilla.
* TheEvilGenius: She is referred to as the strategist of the group.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Her job in essence is to take Carmilla's insane schemes and rework them into something manageable.
* InformedAttribute: Morana is repeatedly mentioned to have a penchant for torture by the other members of the council. As of Season 3, her debut, that aspect of her character has yet to be shown implicitly or explicitly, mostly due to Lenore taking the spotlight.
* LesbianVampire: She is a LipstickLesbian vampire in a relationship with a ButchLesbian one.
* LipstickLesbian: She is very feminine in appearance and character, and is in a relationship with Striga.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: In her relationship with Striga, Morana is the more feminine counterpart to Striga's more masculine character.
* NumberTwo: To Carmilla, Morana's job is said to be the organizer, making Carmilla's insane schemes possible. Morana is also willing to consider the potential of Carmilla's plans before she considers how likely it is.
* PragmaticVillainy: Morana calls out Carmilla on her pointless NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Hector from the end of the second season. Though it's not a case of the moral issue of it as much as it is calling Carmilla causing their forge master to resent them and become a potential WildCard.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Her solution to the food supply and manpower issue of Carmilla's plan. Styria is rich and with their wealth, they'll hire out all the mercenaries in the neighboring areas and use them as fodder. Anyone dying in battle will then become material for Hector's forge.
* SarcasticDevotee: Despite how much Morana swipes back and forth with Carmilla, she's very loyal to her and her sisters as well.
* TheStrategist: Morana is the brains of the council, creating the strategies to enact the ideas Carmilla comes out with.
* TortureTechnician: Morana is an expert torturer and savors her work.
* WineIsClassy: Her first appearance shows her holding a glass of wine.
* UnholyMatrimony: Morana and Striga are evil vampires who're in love with one another.

!!Other Antagonists
[[folder:The Bishop]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/castlevania_bishop.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"The Archbishop would prefer that life in Wallachia be kept simple."'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Matt Frewer (English), Humberto Solórzano (Latin American Spanish), Axel Lutter (German)

The nameless bishop of the Catholic Church who [[KnightTemplar ordered Lisa Ţepeş burnt at the stake]], [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom setting the entire plot into motion]].
----
* AgentScully: When Dracula appears after Lisa's execution and demands to know why she was killed, the Bishop outright refuses to believe that Dracula is real despite, you know, ''the twenty-foot high face made of fire that introduces itself as Dracula and is speaking directly to him.''
* ArcVillain: Acts as one for the first season. His witch hunts set the plot in motion with the execution of Lisa Ţepeş, and he also blames the Speakers for the demon invasion, sending an angry mob after the only people who were trying to fix the situation. Ultimately, Dracula is the bigger threat.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:One doubts anyone shed a single tear for this guy when Blue Fangs tore his face off.]]
* AxCrazy: His need to destroy heretics easily reaches into this, as Trevor notices almost immediately.
-->'''Trevor:''' The current bishop of this place is... well... he's beyond insane. Over the top and into new lands of... snake-''fucking''ly crazy.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: The Bishop's mentality is flawed, self-serving, and dangerous, but he believes every bit of it. It's not just that he's taking advantage of Greisit's attack to persecute the Speakers, but it's also that he's convinced that executing them will save the town from the horde, somehow. The Bishop made his living scapegoating and killing innocent people, after all.
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:The Bishop is ultimately taken down very easily by Dracula's minions once they find him, shrugging off the idea of God still protecting him, and they only bother taking their time killing him because of his direct role in Lisa's death and Dracula's revenge on Wallachia. Otherwise, he's not a threat at all. Even his attempt at killing the Speakers falls apart as soon as Trevor reveals to the mob that the Church was the one responsible for the monsters' invasion. Amusingly, Trevor and his fellow heroes don't even seem to acknowledge his death at all, if they even knew of it, showing how inconsequential he is.]]
* CameBackWrong: Zigzagged. [[spoiler:His body is used to give life to a night creature by Hector on Carmilla's orders. Unlike the Bishop himself, the creature [[{{Irony}} has God's blessing]], blessing the river and turning it into holy water to be used against Dracula's loyalists.]]
* CanonForeigner: In the original story, Lisa's death is merely the instigator of the plot, without much attention paid to it beyond that point. Here, the instigator himself was created to be the first ArcVillain.
* ChekhovsGunman: His carcass is shown in the Season 2 Trailers and in the series proper, probably just to show his fate. [[spoiler:It then turns out he does still have some importance: his reanimated body still has the authority to bless water, thus making him a weapon against vampires. One that Carmilla freely deigns to use.]]
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler:His reanimated corpse completely dissolves into the blessed river. He is probably not coming back from this, even if the others tried to resurrect him again.]]
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: His adherence to the idea of "the chemical sciences" (modern medicine) as witchcraft paints him in a rather unflattering light, but in the late 1400s, his opinion wouldn't be too uncommon.
* DirtyCoward: It's subtle, but he was hiding in his church alone while he sent his lackeys off to kill the speakers, confident the holy ground would keep any demons away. This is in contrast to the other nameless priest that actively was outside trying to help people.
** And in his first conversation with Trevor, it's hinted that he was lying when he told Belmont why he was in Gresit due to a "disagreement" with the Archbishop. It is heavily implied that The Bishop fled Targoviste to escape Dracula's inevitable wrath.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's ''never'' referred to by name, [[spoiler:further cementing his status as a forgettable HateSink that nobody will miss]].
* EvilLuddite: Dismisses Lisa's advanced knowledge of biology and chemistry as witchcraft.
* EvilOldFolks: His hair is white and receding, giving the impression of him being rather old.
* {{Expy}}:
** His physical design, characterization, and zealotry are based on Shaft from the main ''Castlevania'' series. The one exception is that his devotion is to his own twisted idea of God, rather than Dracula.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's a soft-spoken articulate man, which barely masks his cruel demeanor. This is best highlighted when he condemns Lisa to a painful burning, smirking all the way and saying:
-->"I believe she's exhorting Satan not to take revenge on us, which I suppose is almost commendable, for a witch. Perhaps I'll say a prayer for her. A small one."
* TheFundamentalist: The Bishop is utterly convinced that anyone not directly in service to the Church (like the Belmonts or the Speakers) is an evil heretic that must be destroyed. Also, he sees himself as the ultimate religious authority in Wallachia due to all the other major cities being destroyed by Dracula's forces. He is even like this to the other priests, believing in clerical discipline and disagreed with the Archbishop over it. Considering the Archbishop was shown to be a FatBastard that had to be carried around, [[VillainHasAPoint he had a point]].
* GenreBlind: He is utterly clueless to how much danger he's in with an army of demons running around, convinced that faith alone would keep him from being torn to pieces like everyone else was.
* AGodAmI: In Dracula's HellOnEarth, the Bishop believes that Gresit will be the last major city in the country and that his authority in the Church will be the ''only'' authority. As he himself put it as Trevor leaves, for all intents and purposes, he will ''be'' the Church.
* GodIsDispleased: During the attack on the town by Dracula's forces, [[spoiler:the bishop comes to find out that in response to his abuse of power and burning of Dracula's wife, God withdrew His protection. Seconds later, the demons tear into and devour him]].
* HateSink: The Bishop is designed to be as deeply unlikable as possible. He's a hypocritical, self-righteous fundamentalist who is directly responsible for bringing Dracula's wrath down on Wallachia (by personally arranging for Lisa to be burned at the stake), and spends the rest of the season using anyone not affiliated with the Church (from the Belmonts to the Speakers) as scapegoats. It's even heavily hinted that part of him is secretly glad that Dracula's army has devastated Wallachia so badly since it gives him more authority over the surviving populace in his mad quest to "burn out" every sin in the country.
* HidingBehindReligion: His supposed goals of helping the people are nothing but hollow lies for him to get away with murder and heartlessness, and he actually takes advantage of Dracula's rampage to increase his own power and standing within the Church. [[spoiler:In the end, God Himself is so disgusted with the Bishop's actions that he [[GodIsDispleased withdraws his protection]] and allows Dracula's demons to kill him.]]
* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler:Not only is he humiliated by one of Dracula's goblins before killed in the most gruesome way, in Season 2, his corpse is reanimated by Hector to further advance the plans of the Bishop's enemies.]]
* ImplausibleDeniability: It really says something about how brain-numbingly arrogant he is when he watches Lisa's funeral pyre erupt into a hundred-foot tower of flame, manifest into the demonic face of Dracula himself and have it introduce himself ''as'' Dracula, before telling the entire city of Gresit YourDaysAreNumbered, and he '''''still''''' refuses to believe that Dracula even exists until the legions of hell are upon them.
* JerkAss: Everything he says is either hypocrisy, cruelty, or self-deluded arrogant prattling. He enjoys throwing his weight around, smirking as he gloats about how much the he controls the people through his church. "I will be the church..." indeed.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Blue Fangs gives him a BreakingSpeech on how his KnightTemplar ways desanctified his church, reducing it to an "empty box" he was standing in and caused God to turn his back on him. [[FalseReassurance But don't fret.]] [[ImAHumanitarian Blue Fangs still loves him.]]]]
* KnightTemplar: The Bishop is obsessed with burning out what he views as sin. Whenever someone rises up with a different belief, he condemns them as a heretic that is harming society and seeks to have them killed; for example, when the Mayor of Targoviste mentions he briefly studied chemical sciences like Lisa did, the Bishop shoots him a DeathGlare that instantly shuts down his argument. He sees the church as the highest authority and uses the chaos brought by Dracula to rise up in the ranks. Trevor himself is taken aback not just by the man's cruelty, but by the utter conviction he has in his deluded morality.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The man is killed in his own church, [[spoiler:then resurrected and forced to serve the vampires, which he enabled to rampage over the Earth. Better yet, he's destroyed permanently in a river he sanctified]].
* LightIsNotGood: He may wear the robes of a religious man, but make no mistake — he is [[SinisterMinister ''in'']] [[KnightTemplar ''no'']] [[JerkAss ''sense'']] a saint. [[spoiler:Even as an undead horror, he can still make holy water.]]
* LuddWasRight: His reaction to seeing the science and technology that Dracula had given Lisa is to accuse her of witchcraft which for the time period and her affiliation with an alchemist like Dracula would certainly be construed as witchcraft.
* NeverMyFault: The Bishop throws fault at everybody for Dracula's rampage except himself, even though ''he'' was the one who ordered Lisa to be burned at the stake as a witch. Even the demons see through these excuses and mock him for them.
* NiceHat: He wears the standard bishop head attire, that is also colored red.
* NoNameGiven: He's only known as "the Bishop".
* NoodleIncident: He was absent from Targoviste when Dracula returned to purge it. His talk with Trevor indicates he had a disagreement with the Archbishop over certain church matters and was sent away. What those disagreements were is left ambiguous.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The Bishop abuses his authority to use anyone fighting Dracula's monsters not affiliated with the Church as scapegoats to his denial that Lisa's death was his fault. He also seems fine with all the murder, as it gives him a higher standing in the Church with fewer people. Ultimately, his supposed goal of helping the people are just hollow lies to get away with murder and heartlessness. [[spoiler:It's no wonder God won't save him from Blue Fangs.]]
* PredecessorVillain: He is this for Dracula as his murder of his wife is what drove Dracula to KillAllHumans and thus kickstarting the story.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Forgemaster Hector reanimates him into a servant for Carmilla's schemes.]]
* SinisterMinister: A self-righteous fundamentalist who throws blame for Dracula's rampage at everyone except himself. It's also implied that he thinks that surviving Dracula's rampage will give him more authority within the Church, as all the other great cities are losing.
* SkewedPriorities: Even after Dracula's goblins have already descended upon Gresit, the Bishop stresses that extermination of the Speakers is more important. Justified in that he's more or less stark raving mad.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: He doesn't have much of a role other than kill Dracula's wife and is easily dealt with by one of his minions in the show's 4th episode. However its that action of killing Dracula's wife is what drove Dracula to KillAllHumans, thus causing the events of the series to occur.]]
* StarterVillain: He is the first villain the heroes have to face [[spoiler: and he's easily defeated 4 episodes later in the season 1 finale.]]
* TearOffYourFace: [[spoiler: The trailer for Season 2 shows some of Dracula's servants dumping several dead bodies from Gresit into a pile, his body being among them and it being revealed that Blue Fangs bit half of his face off.]]
* TooDumbToLive: In the flashback proper where he arrests Lisa, she's initially kind and cordial to him, and he's very rude and assumes she is a witch. When she tries to explain that she does science that has been forgotten, he dismisses it, and interprets her warnings about Dracula as a threat. Then he orders her execution. The fact that he survived long enough to encounter Trevor is a miracle, since he singlehandedly brought down Dracula's wrath on Wallachia.
* VillainousBreakdown:
** He has a minor one while speaking with Trevor when the latter calls the Church out for branding the Belmonts as heretics simply because they were doing their job of defending Wallachia, shouting that the Belmonts "never understood the power of the word of God" and that the people of Gresit are his to command and ''will'' kill the Speakers if they believe it's God's will, then warns Trevor that by sundown, [[ImpliedDeathThreat he'll either be out of Gresit or be dead.]]
** Later, when confronted by Blue Fangs inside his own church, he begins to crack under the demon's accusations, vehemently stating that his life's work has been in the name of God and denying that Dracula's genocide is his fault before screaming that Lisa was a witch. [[spoiler:By the time his face gets bitten off, the only thing leaving his mouth is frightened whimpering.]]
* VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler: He gets killed quickly by one of Dracula's minion. However, it clear that his murder of Lisa Tapes still influences the story, even after he died.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Ordered that Lisa should be burned at the stake. And he admits to performing the same act to other women.

[[folder:Bald Priest]]

One of the Bishop's goons, who gives Trevor trouble when he arrives in Gresit.[[spoiler:Later, he comes back as one of Dracula's monsters.]]
----
* AssholeVictim: He's a vile bully and corrupt priest like his Bishop, so of course you won't feel sad when he gets his from Trevor.
* BadassPreacher: A rare evil version, he's a priest and is capable of fighting the likes of [[TheHero Trevor]].
* BaldOfEvil: He has as much hair on his head as he has redeeming qualities.
* CarryABigStick: [[spoiler:After his revival, he trades in his knife for a mystically charged staff.]]
* CameBackStrong:[[spoiler: His corpse is used to create a powerful spear-wielding demon who attacks Trevor for a rematch in the Belmont hall.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: He's just a forgettable henchman for the Bishop, [[spoiler:but he comes back as a particularly formidable demon later on.]]
* EliteMook: He's one of the few priests who can hold his own in a fight.[[spoiler: Even more so as a night-creature, where he matches Trevor blow for blow.]]
* EyeScream: Trevor whips out his eyeball in their first encounter. Later he takes an arrow to the ''other'' eye when Trevor uses him as a shield.
* KnifeNut: He wields a nifty little dagger, which Trevor points out a priest shouldn't be carrying.
* MutilationConga: First he gets his left eye whipped out. Then later, he gets hit through the right eye and heart with arrows. [[spoiler:Then he's forged into a night-creature still missing his eyes, attacks the heroes, and finally gets killed by Trevor ''again.'']]
* ReforgedIntoAMinion:[[spoiler:Is ironically drafted into an army of demons along with his Bishop.]]
* SilentAntagonist: Never speaks.
* SinisterMinister: Befitting the Church of Gresit, he's a corrupt and murderous priest.
* VillainousValor: Contrasting his bearded partner, he actually seems fairly confident in fighting Trevor.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Stone-Eye Cyclops]]

A monster stalking the catacombs beneath Gresit that preys on those who search for the Sleeping Soldier.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Trevor was only able to kill the cyclops by stabbing it through the eye.
* EmotionEater: The cyclops feeds on the terror of its victims after leaving them trapped in stone.
* EyeBeams: The cyclops fires a continuous beam of light from its eye that turns anything it touches to stone.
* LoneWolfBoss: Trevor encounters him in the catacombs once and he has no ties to Dracula's invasion. Furthermore, it's implied that he has been around far longer.
* NoOntologicalInertia: The only thing that can return a petrified victim to normal is to kill the cyclops. Once it dies, all of the human statues in the area return to flesh and blood... including [[{{Gorn}} shattered statues]].
* NoSell: Trevor is able to stab his sword through its chest, yet this does nothing to the beast.
* SilentAntagonist: The cyclops makes no vocalization whatsoever.
* TakenForGranite: As the name implies, the cyclops turns its victims to stone with its eye.
* WouldHitAGirl: It turned Sypha into stone with the full intent of killing her afterwards.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Prior Sala]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Navid Negahban

The head of the Priory of Lindenfeld that was attacked by one of Dracula's night beasts whose members ended up falling under its spell.
----
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Technically speaking, he is the final victim of the Judge of Lindenfeld who was a prolific {{serial killer}} who specifically arranged his death according to his M.O. (sending their victims down to their deaths to a spike trap) with Sala's particular death being horrific being impaled in the head. But considering the man arranged the mass murder of an entire innocent village to open a portal to Hell, no one is going to weep his end]].
* BigBadEnsemble: With Carmilla's Council, Isaac and the Magician in Season 3, serving as the direct antagonist to Trevor and Sypha's storylines. [[spoiler:With that said, he is under the influence of the Visitor that attacked his priory and the moment it's goal is accomplished, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Sala makes a run for it]]]].
* CardCarryingVillain: When Saint-Germain points out that the symbol worn by him and his followers stands for the elemental sign of sulfur meaning Hell, he is ''jubilant''.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Has very wide, pale eyes, and is never seen blinking. ''Never''.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To the Visitor, since he leads the cult on it's behalf and follows its instructions to open a portal to Hell so they can resurrect Dracula]].
* TheExtremistWasRight: He believed the Catholic Church is evil and Dracula was a righteous being who was reunited with his love Lisa in Hell, waiting to be resurrected. The setting is run by a very CorruptChurch as shown as early as the first season, [[spoiler:and it turns out Dracula and Lisa are in Hell, despite any goodness she may have had in life.]]
* {{Foil}}: To the Bishop of Gresit, who was a fundamentalist KnightTemplar who followed his own twisted perception of God's commands. Sala, on the other hand, is a former Christian monk that went mad after learning the Bishop was the cause of everything that he went full-blown [[CardCarryingVillain evil cultist]].
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: He used to be a Christian monk until the attack on his priory by Dracula's night beasts lead him to insanity. He turned away from the Church, blaming it for starting everything and began revering Dracula instead.
* HellishPupils: Sala's pupils are much larger than the other characters in the show. The camera focuses on his long stares to add to the unsettling air around him. His wide unblinking eyes further make his face somewhat difficult to read with his emotions usually blending together.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:He falls on the Judge's spiked trap and gets impaled through the head]].
* MoreThanMindControl: It’s briefly speculated that the Night Creature that attacked the church, [[spoiler: and took up residence within]], may have used magic to induce his and the other monk’s madness; though it’s left ambiguous how much was due to demonic magic, and how much was due to [[GoMadFromTheRevelation learning the Churches' role in Dracula’s genocidal campaign.]] For what is worth, [[spoiler:the moment the Visitor opens the portal to the Infinity Corridor, Sala becomes puzzled and terrified and immediately flees from the location]].
* ReligionOfEvil: He formed a cult of Dracula worshippers that attracts other deranged and unstable individuals. [[spoiler:His goal is to bring Dracula back to life]].
* SinisterMinister: Somehow he manages to be even ''creepier'' than the Bishop of Gresit from previous seasons. It may have to do with him running an evil cult.
* VillainHasAPoint: Despite everything else, he isn't ''wrong'' that the Church is at fault for Dracula's rampage.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Wizard]]
A wizard who Isaac encounters on his voyage to find Hector.
----
* AssholeVictim: He enslaved the populations of several towns for his own gain, to the point that death is a mercy for his victims. So it's hard to feel bad for him when Isaac kills him.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Carmilla's Council, Sala and Isaac in Season 3, serving as a direct antagonist of the latter in an EvilVsEvil scenario, though he is introduced very late into the season.
* BodyOfBodies: During Isaac's attack on his city, he makes his minions float up and combine into a giant sphere of bodies to essentially create the show's iteration of Legion from the video game.
* CharmPerson: When Isaac reaches him, he resorts to direct mind control to try and remove the threat.
* EvilVsEvil: When it comes down to it, he is pretty much the same thing as Isaac since he enslaves people with magic to do his bidding. Isaac seeks his downfall so he can incorporate the Wizard's minions into his own demonic army so he can take on Carmilla.
* EvilOldFolks: He looks just like you'd expect an evil wizard to look; decrepit, white-bearded and strangely attired.
* FlunkyBoss: He's not much of a physical threat himself, but instead relies on his mind-controlled thralls to attack his enemies. Though his "flunkies" are themselves a proper boss when they form into Legion.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: One day he goes around enslaving towns, no reason given. He's so personality-less that he doesn't even say a word to Isaac.
* GigglingVillain: He has no lines of dialogue except softly laughing at Isaac when facing him.
* MassHypnosis: He rules over an entire city of his mind-controlled slaves.
* NoNameGiven: His name is never uttered onscreen, not by Miranda (the only person who might by familiar with him) or himself (who never says anything in front of Isaac).
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Sits comfortably at the top of his castle and throws his endless waves of slaves at Isaac and his army as he waits the Devil Forgemaster to confront him.
* SicklyGreenGlow: His magical combination manifests as pale green thorns encircling the heads of his victims.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"They could stop living such short, scared lives if only they had some real medicine!"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Emily Swallow (English), Dulce Guerrero (Latin American), Gunthild Eberhard (German)

A woman from Lupu Village who comes to Dracula's castle hoping to learn medicine.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: She traveled all the way to Dracula's castle, which was at that time stationed in a barren wasteland littered with skeletons on pikes, just to try and convince him to teach her science so she could become a proper doctor.
* AgentScully: Subverted. This appears to be part of the reason why a force like Dracula didn't scare Lisa. As a woman of science, she didn't believe stories about him being a vampire with connections to Hell were true. It can be presumed that she eventually did understand how wrong she was, but grew to look past it.
* AintTooProudToBeg: She won't beg for herself, but she will for her killers' lives, knowing that her death will drive Dracula over the edge.
* AllLovingHero: While she was burning at the stake, her FamousLastWords were of begging forgiveness for her killers.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: {{Implied|Trope}}. When Dracula makes a comment suggesting she's interested in witchcraft, she responds to not be called a "witch", adding that "everyone else already thinks I'm one".
* BadassBookworm: She storms Castlevania to ask its lord for scientific knowledge, medical science specifically.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: She's an AllLovingHero who believes in the best of humanity while Dracula's a BrokenAce recluse who is extremely cynical.
* BurnTheWitch: Her fate, as her medicine is taken for witchcraft.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: She was burned on a stake. There's even a scene of her skeleton being reduced to ashes.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Downplayed. Lisa's first meeting with Dracula had her chastising an immortal and immensely powerful vampire for being rude. The two hit it off not long after.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Starts a romance, marriage, and family with the infamous, terror-filled vampire lord, Dracula.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When the Priest arrives and questions her about what she is doing, Lisa attempts to explain, only for him to brush her off as a witch. In her desperation, she [[CassandraTruth tried to warn him that hurting her would be extremely bad]], but this comment came after she had already stated that science had nothing to do with any religion. As a result, the Priest takes her warning as a threat from Satan, and thus goes from simply arresting her, to burning her at the stake. While she might have already been doomed, there's no doubt she made the situation much worse in her panic.
* DumbBlonde: Inverted. Lisa had bright, blonde hair but even before her lessons with Dracula, she was shown to be quite intelligent and had a love of learning.
* EasyRoadToHell: Despite her goodness, in Season 3 the Infinite Corridor reveals she's in Hell, [[YouAreWorthHell though at least Dracula is currently with her]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Walks up to Dracula's castle and bangs on his door, and asks him to help her become a doctor. When he tries to scare her, she tells him off for his rudeness and that he should travel the world like people do. She also encourages him to use his wealth of knowledge to make the world better. A determined and outspoken young woman who is an AllLovingHero through and through.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Lisa's first appearance has her hair in a braided ponytail, then her hair is more loose after marrying Dracula. Unfortunately, she suffers a TraumaticHaircut after being captured by the Bishop.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. In her final moments, she is visibly crying and in pain, but she doesn't break.
* FatalFlaw: Her ChronicHeroSyndrome. She was so dedicated to helping people that it never occurred to her to prepare for actual nasty fanatics to deliberately misinterpret her good work, or for petty wisewomen to rat her out to the church. This ends up getting her killed, and she's unable to stop the ensuing bloodshed that she foresees with her death.
* FlatEarthAtheist: She was a woman of science, and did not believe in magic and superstition. Her scientific approach largely proved effective, but she still lived in a world where the existence of vampires, demons and magic is a demonstrable fact.
* FlowerMotifs: The Madonna Lily. The unnamed kindly woman who informed her husband of her death brings a bouquet at their now burned down home to pay respect. Lisa's portrait consists of her also holding a bouquet of them. And they represent "mourning love", as Dracula is driven crazy with grief after learning of her senseless death.
* GoodParents: She deeply loved Alucard from childhood.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Lisa had bright, blond hair and wanted to help others with actual medicine.
* HappilyMarried: Though not fully shown, Dracula and Lisa apparently had a loving marriage. He traveled the world as a man at her request, and even though she missed him deeply, she was still happy of the things he taught her.
* HeroicBastard: Implied. Lisa introduces herself to Dracula as "Lisa, from the Village of Lupu", not adding a surname. During the time of the Middle Ages, which the series is roughly set in, people who were born out of wedlock usually didn't have a family name. Thus, it's highly likely she was born out of wedlock. Nonetheless, she was a [[AllLovingHero compassionate]], [[NiceGirl kind-hearted]] woman who could even [[MoralityChain bring out]] the humanity of Dracula.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Dracula completely towers over Lisa, as she's barely towards his waist.
* ICanChangeMyBeloved: A unique, non-abusive example. When they first meet, Lisa decided to teach Dracula the benefits of helping humans with knowledge simply to make the world better. Her husband would later state that he only "lived as a man" for her sake.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Lisa had blue eyes and was an optimistic, friendly AllLovingHero.
* InterspeciesRomance: She (a human) would fall in love, marry, and have a child with Dracula (a vampire).
* IntroOnlyPointOfView: The prologue shows her convincing Dracula to teach her medicine, before cutting ahead a couple of decades to show her being burnt at the stake.
* IWarnedYou: She tried desperately to warn the Bishop about what Dracula would do if he found out what he was doing, but her pleas fell on deaf ears.
* LastRequest: When Trevor asks Alucard why he's willing to stop Dracula even if it means killing him, Alucard's answer is because of his mother's final wish.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073G9FZ7V/ref=dm_ws_tlw_trk3 Lisa of Lupu]]".
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Dracula was at least willing to walk among men for her sake and she tried to curb his misanthropic views with her love. When she dies, he commits to killing all humans in revenge for her death.
* TheLostLenore: Dracula loved her dearly, and her death at the stake drives him to exterminate humanity in revenge.
-->'''Dracula:''' ''"Kill everything you see. Kill them all. And once Targoviste has been made into a graveyard for my love, go forth into the country. Go now. Go to all the cities of Wallachia: Arges! Severin! Gresit! Chilia! Enisara! Go now and kill. Kill for my love! Kill for the only true love I ever knew. Kill for the endless lifetime of hate before me."''
* MayflyDecemberRomance: She is a mortal woman who fell in love with and married an immortal vampire (Dracula). Lisa dies before him but only because she was unjustly executed by humans.
* MeaningfulRename: Justified. Lisa introduces herself to Dracula as "Lisa, from the Village of Lupu", meaning she may not have had a family name. However, after marrying Dracula, she takes his last name, which was customary given the time period.
* MessianicArchetype: Lisa goes off to help those in need through science, is branded a witch, and sentenced to death. And as she's about to be executed, she looks up into the sky and begs an unseen person (her son, Alucard) to spare her killers, citing they don't understand what they're doing.
* MoralityChain: To Dracula, something she's blatantly aware of and is deeply afraid he'll slip back hard into his murderous ways if anything bad happens to her. She inspired Dracula's desire to travel, so he travels like a man. When he comes back, he finds out that Lisa was killed, so he unleashes HellOnEarth for revenge as she predicted.
* MotherlySidePlait: Lisa wears her blonde hair in a thick plait over her shoulder during her first scenes, which also establish her as a caring and pragmatic person who has enough warmth and courage to win over Dracula himself. In keeping with the trend in anime, she's also doomed (although her hair appears to have been cut short prior to her execution, possibly by her captors).
* MuggleMageRomance: Combined with InterspeciesRomance with Dracula. While he's a MonsterLord who has centuries worth of magical knowledge, his wife, Lisa, is a normal human trained in medical science.
* NervesOfSteel: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. When Dracula tries to intimidate her, Lisa is ''visibly'' scared, but manages to calm down to tell off the vampire for being rude to her.
* NiceGirl: Lisa was a kind and caring woman. She even pleaded for Dracula not to kill the people who wanted her to burn at the stake, citing they did not know what they were doing.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Lisa traveled to Dracula's home to learn science to better help others. Twenty years later, she is sentenced to death via burning at the stake for performing "witchcraft". Also the reason why she was alone at home? She had suggested her husband travel to study humanity.
* OlderThanTheyLook: At the time of her death, Lisa must have been in her mid-late 40s at ''least'' after a 20 year time skip from the prologue, but looks the same as she did when she first met Dracula.
* OppositesAttract: Lisa is an AllLovingHero with a deep need to help humanity and is quite forgiving; Dracula was noted to be TheDreaded among humans and monsters, had a deep racism and cynicism to humanity (sans a few), and would go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge if greatly angered. And the two were HappilyMarried.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Being burnt at the stake causes Dracula's rampage.
* RagsToRiches: Implied. When Lisa is first introduced she had no last name and wore what can be presumed to be peasant clothing, while Dracula had a last name and wore presumably expensive-looking clothes. After marrying him, Lisa wore more middle to upper class garb.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Her first scene has her wearing peasant clothing. After marrying Dracula, she then wore upper to middle class garb. At her death, she was seen in a white dress, presumably her undergarment.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She fell in love with Dracula because of his intelligence, willingness to teach her medicine, and belief that he could change for the better.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Her death purely serves to motivate Dracula's anger.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Dracula was her science/medical teacher when they first met. Their relationship would transform into love, marriage, and the birth of their son.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:She's shown together with Dracula in Hell in Season 3, despite always being seen to be a kind and virtuous woman. Though it should be noted neither she nor Vlad appeared to be inconvenienced by where they’re at either. It's possible she chose to be in Hell with her husband of her own free will.]]
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Her total on-screen time is counted in mere minutes. She's nice, then she's summarily executed.
* TraumaticHaircut: Its show in Season 2 that the Inquisition cut her MotherlySidePlait after her imprisonment and she was burned at the stake this way.
* WideEyedIdealist: Lisa genuinely believed in helping people and making the world a better place, even truly thinking Dracula could teach humans his knowledge.
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: When they first meet, Dracula states that Lisa is "not like any human [he's] met before". After her murder, Dracula angrily shouts at Alucard that Lisa was the only reason to justify human life.
* YouAreWorthHell: Possibly. [[spoiler:In season 3, she's seen in Hell with Dracula. Since she was a kind and virtuous person in life, she was either condemned for having loved a monster, or she chose to go with him.]]

[[folder:Leon Belmont]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belmont.png]]

A French nobleman that moved to Wallachia and founded the Belmont clan.
----
* AdaptationalNationality: In the games, Leon was a European knight but we didn't know exactly ''where'' in Europe. He's explicitly French here.
* EpicFlail: He wielded the Morning Star, which was presumably used against Dracula if the latter's reaction to seeing it is any indication.
* FamousAncestor: For the Belmonts.
* GreaterScopeParagon: He serves as this for the series since he started the feud with Dracula and left some precious treasures to be used against him like the Morning Star.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Leon had blonde hair, appropriate for his heroic knight look.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Trevor only alludes to the great adventures Leon must have had.
* OurFounder: His portrait hangs prominently in the stairwell that leads into the Belmont Hold, as he is responsible for setting down the family business in Wallachia.
* PosthumousCharacter: Naturally, as he died centuries ago and all we ever see of him is his painting on the Belmont Hold.
[[/folder]]


[[folder:Bosha and Kob]]
->'''Bosha voiced by:''' Jonathan Lipow (English), Mauricio Pérez (Latin American Spanish)
->'''Kob voiced by:''' Matt Lowe (English), Julio Bernal (Latin American Spanish)

Two Wallachian peasants who gang up on Trevor.
----
* BarBrawl: They start one with Trevor.
* BerserkButton: The upper class, specifically the Belmonts.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Kob is the big guy and Bosha's the little guy.
* DeadpanSnarker: Bosha has a moment of this.
-->'''Bosha:''' Pitir! We were wondering if you spot any attractive sheep on your way.
* EatTheRich: They both despise the upper-class, which is part of the reason why they gang up on Trevor.
* HalfSiblingAngst: Heavily downplayed. Bosha doesn't regard Kob as his half-brother, but that doesn't seem to stop them from getting along.
* InsistentTerminology: Kob says that the two of them are brothers, while Bosha insists that they're cousins due to having the same father but that their respective mothers are aunts to the other.
* MrExposition: While antagonizing Trevor, Bosha provides insight on the lore regarding the Belmont clan for the audience.
* NoodleIncident: The entirety of Bosha's encounter with [[BestialityIsDepraved a man that had sex with one of his goats]] is this.

[[folder:Sumi and Taka]]
->'''Sumi voiced by:''' Creator/RilaFukushima
->'''Taka voiced by:''' Toru Uchikado

Two Japanese vampire hunters who come to Alucard seeking knowledge to better understand how to help their people.
----
* BookDumb: Taka at least, is this. In a dialogue with Sumi, he complained that all the reading he did that day had made him exhausted. Sumi tells him that he's just lazy though she does agree it was a lot.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Appearing as a very friendly duo at first, they quickly reveal themselves to be paranoid and treacherous ingrates who turn on Alucard because they perceive him to be manipulating them as he isn't helping them fast enough. This proves to be their undoing]].
* DeadGuyOnDisplay: [[spoiler:Their bodies are posthumously impaled vertically by Alucard to be left as an warning to anyone who might venture close to his castle]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: The worst thing that Alucard does to them is withholding some information (that he is under no obligation to give) so they will keep him company for longer. [[spoiler: That doesn't justify tying him up and trying to murder him in the slightest bit.]]
* FalseFriend: [[spoiler: They are this to Alucard, ironically due to their paranoid belief that he is this for them.]]
* FanDisservice: They're both attractive individuals who are shown fully nude and trying to have a threesome with Alucard, [[spoiler: but this turns out to be a HoneyTrap where they can murder Alucard in the act for perceived betrayal.]]
* FatalFlaw: Distrust and impatience. Alucard was more than happy to reveal everything he knew with only minor things but because he wasn't doing so fast enough, they were willing to [[spoiler:try and kill him under the justification he had betrayed them. Naturally this leads to their deaths when Alucard calls his sword via magic and slices through their necks.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Being kept imprisoned and enslaved by a sadistic vampire, and then apparently being lied to and cheated by everyone on their journey, left them jaded and paranoid. [[spoiler: So they put on a friendly act to earn Alucard’s trust, then see his not fully helping them in the exact way they wanted as him manipulating them, [[DisproportionateRetribution and thus an excuse to murder him.]]]]
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted. Taka is the one with the bow and arrow while Sumi handles the sword.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:Sumi and Taka's hatred of vampires has corrupted them entirely. Not only do they try to murder Alucard because he ''might'' be leading them on (no doubt influenced by his half-vampire status), but they planned to build an empire of mass murderers not unlike the vampires wanted, only with the opposite side as slaughter.]]
* ImproperlyParanoid: Their paranoia over Alucard keeping secrets is unwarranted. While Alucard told them the truth about the castle's moving mechanism being broken and about the Belmont hold, Sumi and Taka think he must be keeping secrets or lying to them. [[spoiler:This gets the both of them killed by Alucard when they spring a HoneyTrap on him. He even says "I never lied to you" after he commits the act, showing that their paranoia was completely unnecessary.]]
* MeaningfulName: ''Taka'' is Japanese for "hawk". A bird famous for keen eyesight is the perfect homage for a master archer.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: They have been lied to and cheated by everyone they've encountered in their travels [[spoiler:and they betray Alucard because they believe he will do so again.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Their interactions with Alucard throughout the season is very amicable as they enjoy learning from him, even playfully dogpile him during a training session, and understanding that he is lonely due to having to kill his father. [[spoiler:They then seduce and have sex with him while acting very intense as a way to “reward” him, which is followed by a failed attempt to kill him that ends with their deaths.]]
* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Alucard's sword which is summoned in the last minute to rescue him while he is restrained by the duo and it slashes their necks on a single swing]].
* TakeOverTheWorld: When the duo [[spoiler: turn on Alucard, they explain that they plan to work out how to move the Castle and find out all of Alucard's secrets to use to make their own empire.]]
* TeamworkSeduction: They both show up to solicit sex with Alucard at the same time, cooperating to seduce him. [[spoiler:With the goal of killing him during the act.]]
* VampireHunter: Both of them, though not as proficient as Trevor.
* YouthfulFreckles: Taka has freckles across his face.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Captain]]
->'''Voiced By''': Creator/LanceReddick

A ship captain that ferries Isaac and his demons from Tunis to Europe and engages in philosophical debates with him in the meantime.
----
* TheAntiNihilist: The Captain agrees that mankind is capable of great cruelty and perhaps may deserve complete extinction, but he points out it's also capable of great kindness and that killing off all humans will also destroy their kindness, which makes Isaac question his goals. He also encourages Isaac to try and teach people with his knowledge to be better in the aftermath of his campaign instead of killing them off.
* TheCharmer: The fact that the Captain was able to not only talk Isaac out of not killing him and his men, but also potentially reevaluating his mentality speaks volumes of Captain's persuasion skills.
* CoolOldGuy: This eccentric old man manages to gain the respect of a omnicidal forgemaster with his unflippant attitude in face of danger and wisdom during their conversation.
* DissonantSerenity: He isn't one bit disturbed by Isaac and his demon army, and manages to remain completely unscathed despite the very likely prospect that him and his crew could be easily massacred by them.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Due to having apparently forgotten his own name, he simply goes by as "the Captain".
* GenreSavvy: He's amicable to Isaac, doesn't betray him, and leaves as soon as Isaac get's to his destination. All of these decisions likely kept him and his crew alive.
* HumansAreFlawed: The captain counters Isaac's HumansAreBastards mindset by mentioning that humans are just as capable of being nice or even reasonable as they are selfish.
* ItAmusedMe: The captain willingly ferried Isaac because he was bored and knew Isaac at the very least wouldn't be a bore.
* PragmaticVillainy: Not done by himself, but he invokes this when Isaac ponders about killing him and his crew and taking the ship himself. The Captain points out that he can't sail a ship - something that isn't easy as it seems - so [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou he needs him]].
* SeenItAll: He says so himself, which may explain his extremely muted reaction to facing Isaac's demon army.
* TakeOverTheWorld: He suggests Isaac should try to rule humanity instead of destroy it, since he could teach them to rise above their wickedness.

[[/folder]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the games, especially ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment'' is concerned, she has a deep [[FantasticRacism hatred for creatures of the night and people associated with them]]. She gets along fine with Alucard even with the real that Dracula is his father. Though she has a few {{Tsundere}} traits aimed towards Trevor.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the games, especially ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment'' is concerned, she has a deep [[FantasicRacism hatred for creatures of the night and people associated with them]]. She gets along fine with Alucard even with the real that Dracula is his father. Though she has a few {{Tsundere}} traits aimed towards Trevor.

[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_inline_p7ri2oxlme1src20c_1280.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:299:''"I didn't ask you to fight for me. I fight for myself."'']]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:A subtle, tragic one. Upon realizing he's trying to ''kill his son'' to carry out revenge for his wife, Dracula nearly breaks down in tears, recognizing how far he's fallen.]]

* TheExtremistWasRight: He believed the Catholic Church is evil and Dracula was a righteous being who was reunited with his love Lisa in Hell, waiting to be resurrected. [[spoiler:The setting is run by a very CorruptChurch and it turns out Dracula and Lisa are in Hell, despite any goodness she may have had in life.]]

* MoreThanMindControl: It’s briefly speculated that the Night Creature that attacked the church, [[spoiler: and took up residence within]], may have used magic to induce his and the other monk’s madness; though it’s left ambiguous how much was due to demonic magic, and how much was due to [[GoMadFromTheRevelation learning the Churches’ role in Dracula’s genocidal campaign.]] For what is worth, [[spoiler:the moment the Visitor opens the portal to the Infinity Corridor, Sala becomes puzzled and terrified and immediately flees from the location]].

* SicklyGreenGlow: His magical combination manifests as pale green vines encircling the heads of his victims.

* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Kills a small boy because he runs around town too much. His other victims' "crimes" will likely similarly petty given his controlling nature. ]]

* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:The Judge is actually a SerialKiller that arranges the deaths of his victims by sending them to an trap outside the town's limits and later recovers their shoes as souvenirs to be collected in his house. He arranges Sala to be killed this way and reveals it to Sypha after being mortally wounded]].
