* 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; in fact, when the Mayor of Targoviste said he briefly studied some of the same things as Lisa, the Bishop shoots him one hell of a DeathGlare. 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.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Zigzagged. In the classic continuity games, the Belmonts were upstanding heroes who, despite the Church's actions, never wavered when there was evil to be fought. Here, Trevor is a bitter and foul-mouthed loner who, to put it bluntly, clings to past victories and holds a grudge against everyone. He eventually snaps out of it and proceeds to save Gresit from both the corrupt church's influence and Dracula's minions but, even before that, he continues to try desperately to save the Speakers despite his protestations that he doesn't care about the deaths caused by Dracula's army, and he takes every opportunity he sees to save innocent life wherever he finds it.

* HateSink: The Bishop is designed to be as deeply unlikeable 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.

!!Protagonists
[[folder:Trevor Belmont]]

The last member of [[BadassFamily House Belmont]], seeking to end Dracula's campaign of terror.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Zigzagged. In the classic continuity games, the Belmonts were upstanding heroes who, despite the Church's actions, never wavered when there was evil to be fought. Here, Trevor is a bitter and foul-mouthed loner who, to put it bluntly, clings to past victories and holds a grudge against everyone. He eventually snaps out of it and proceeds to save Gresit from both the corrupt church's influence and Dracula's minions but, even before that, he continues to try desperately to save the Speakers despite his protestations that he doesn't care about the deaths caused by Dracula's army, and he takes every opportunity he sees to save innocent life wherever he finds it.
* 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.
* BadassNormal: Barring his [[MagicEnhancement enchanted]] [[WhipItGood Vampire Killer]], he's just a man who knows how to fight monsters, without powers of his own.
* BerserkButton: Trevor is barely able to conceal the fact that he's a Belmont when he hears patrons at a bar dragging his family's name through the mud.
* 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.
* DeadpanSnarker: Trevor, all the way. It might seem that the man has an untold stash of caustic remarks reserved for every occasion.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: He's more hands-on, while Sypha is more distance based.
* 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.
* HunterOfMonsters: As a Belmont, this is his modus operandi.
* 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.
[[/folder]]


[[folder:Sypha Belnades]]

Granddaughter of the Elder of the Speakers, Sypha is a scholar of magic and an aid of Trevor in his quest to defeat Dracula.
----
* 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 more of a strawberry blonde hue than the game's bright flaxen tone.
* BadassSpaniard: Sypha, who has a more pronounced Hispanic accent, which reflects her possible origins from Spain since Belnades was originally written as Velnumdes, believed to be a Japanese corruption of the common Hispanic surname "[[VideoGame/Castlevania64 Fernandez]]".
* BoyishShortHair: Unlike the game, where Sypha has long hair she keeps hidden in her robes, this incarnation has her hair cut short.
* DeadpanSnarker: When she's annoyed, she can get rather sarcastic.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Her magical combat style is more focused on distance than Trevor's more hands-on fighting.
* 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. 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.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alucard]]

The {{dhampyr}} son of Dracula and Lisa Tepes.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Alucard's hair is a darker shade of blonde instead of the platinum blond seen in Ayami Kojima's character art from ''Symphony of the Night'' or the jet black seen in the original ''Dracula's Curse''.
* {{Dhampyr}}: As the son of Dracula and a mortal woman.
* HealingFactor: Can easily heal from the damages Trevor inflicts upon him.
* HeroAntagonist: Alucard duels with Trevor after being discovered in the catacombs by him because the latter figured out the former is a vampire, and therefore must be evil. However, Alucard only got trapped there in the first place because he tried to stop his father from unleashing his demonic army and when the duel reaches a draw, he agrees to help Trevor and Sypha to fight Dracula.
* MasterSwordsman: Easily able to keep up with Trevor.
* 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.
* TheStoic: Par for the course with his character. While his father demonstrates his anger by [[TrashTheSet 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.
* SuperSpeed: One of his abilities.
* TokenHeroicOrc: He's the only benevolent "monster."

!!Allies
[[folder:Speakers]]

A group of traveling nomads who keep an extensive oral history.
----
* CanonForeigner: Created exclusively for the series.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Speakers, including Sypha, are blamed by the church for attracting Dracula's legion, with the bishop whipping the people of Gresit into an AngryMob to kill them.

[[/folder]]


!!Antagonists
[[folder:Dracula]]

The BigBad, [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad Dracula Tepes]] seeks vengeance on all of humanity for his wife's burning at the stake.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: Dracula introduces himself as "Vlad Dracula Tepes", while in the Japanese dub this is "Dracula Vlad Tepes", the official order in Japan. The English version of Symphony of the Night had it as "Vlad Tepes Dracula".
* BeardOfEvil: A downright sinister one.
* BigBad: For the series as a whole.
* {{Dracula}}: The vampire himself.
* EvilSorcerer: He uses a sizable amount of magic, ranging from summoning TheLegionsOfHell to PlayingWithFire to a host of other uses.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's a vampire for sure, but how exactly his condition works is still not completely known.
* PetTheDog: In what he describes as his last act of kindness, Dracula warns Lisa's neighbor (the one who came to pay respect to her memory) to take her family and flee Wallachia before he destroys it.
* TragicVillain: He honestly was doing somewhat well for himself, but his wife being burnt at the stake sets him off to his latest villainy.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Bishop]]

The nameless bishop of the Catholic Church who [[KnightTemplar ordered Lisa Tepes burnt at the stake]], [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom setting the entire plot into motion]].
----
* ArcVillain: Acts as one for the first season. His witch hunts set the plot in motion with the execution of Lisa Tepes, 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.
* AscendedExtra: In the original origin, Lisa's death is merely the instigator of the plot, without much attention paid to it beyond that point. Here, the instigator himself is the first ArcVillain.
* 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.
* 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 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 of killing the Speakers falls apart as soon as Trevor reveals to the mob that the Church was the one responsible for the monster's invasion.]]
* 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.
* EvilOldFolks: His hair is white, giving the impression of him being rather old.
* 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 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.
* 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.
* NoNameGiven: He's only known as "the Bishop."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Blue Fangs]]

The demon at the head of the assault on Gresit.
----
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Able to be distinguished from his fellows by his blue colored glow.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Blue Fangs makes it very clear that the Bishop, and the Church as a whole, completely disgusts him, and that they shame God.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Pazuzu.
* LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:After his head is slashed by the Vampire Killer, his body explodes like any other demon.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:He only appears in the fourth episode, but serves to execute the DiscOneFinalBoss.]]

[[folder:Lisa Tepes]]

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.
* BurnTheWitch: Her fate, as her medicine is taken for witchcraft.
* PluckyGirl: Having exhausted all of her other alternatives, she quite literally bangs her fist on the door of a vampire lord's castle and ''demands'' to be shown the tools of science. Dracula finds her antics amusing.
