History Characters / Castlevania2017Antagonists

Monsters that emerge from the Infinite Corridor (an interdimensional portal accessed from the basement of the Lindenfeld priory). They may be demons from Hell, or simply a grab-bag of extradimensional monsters that fell through as the Corridor paged between destinations.

* ClassicalCyclops: It's a huge, humanoid, one-eyed monster that lives in a cavern-like space and attacks anyone that approaches it. It can also fire a petrfying beam from its eye, which serves as its only vulnerable spot.

* 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]].

* TakenForGranite: As the name implies, the cyclops turns its victims to stone with its eye.

* CameBackWrong: Zigzagged. [[spoiler:His body is used to give life to a night creature (although more or less a zombified version of the Bishop) 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.]]

* 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 fourth 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.]]

* 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.

* VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler: He gets killed quickly by one of Dracula's minions. However, it clear that his murder of Lisa Tapes still influences the story, even after he died.]]

* DeathOfDeath: Subverted. Death does die at the hands of Trevor Belmont, but since he's more of a elemental vampire that feeds on the death of others rather than embodying the concept of death, there's no universal repercussions from killing him.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Do you know me?" and, by extension, "You know me". The former is almost exclusively used in his Varney form, with the exception of stating it (minus one word) to Trevor. The latter is stated repeatedly to Saint-Germain during TheReveal. As he presents himself as the physical embodiment of Death itself, the implication is that people who know him are familiar with death in some form or another -- a fact which greatly pleases him.

* 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.]]

* NoKillLikeOverkill: How he meets his end, once the angry mob of Gresit turns on him and his associates. He gets a pretty gruesome death at the angry villagers hands. Starting off with a pitchfork to the neck, spear to the back, then getting slashed and stabbed repeatedly.

* BadassPreacher: A rare evil version, he's a priest and is capable of fighting the likes of [[TheHero Trevor]] (badly mind you but still).

* 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'']].

* {{Fingore}}: Thanks to Trevor's whip he loses his right index finger. And the former's apology might just be him being cheeky.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The poor bastards gets absolutely murdered by the angry mob, getting a pitchfork to the neck, spear to the gut, then stabbed and slashed several times.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The guy gets impaled by both a pitchfork and a spear.
