** There might not necessarily be a problem, actually. In ''Lament of Innocence'', the Whip of Alchemy became the Vampire Killer when Sara willingly offered her soul to Leon's weapon. Miss Trantoul herself was already slowly vampirizing and close to completely losing her humanity at that point, so it's possible that [[SoulJar her tainted soul within the whip]] would unquestionably recognize the legitimacy of the whip's next wielder so long as they were worthy and held the blood of (the main branch of) House Belmont within them. (Presumably, the holy whip's natural inclination to [[GoodHurtsEvil harm creatures of the night]] is overridden by Belmont blood, never mind that there's a loophole in Sara being a vampire, plus the fact that Dracula's influence on the bloodline would eventually lessen to minuscule fractions with each generation.) Additionally, [[http://shmuplations.com/symphony/ Igarashi intended for Alucard to have holy blood of his own due to Lisa being descended from a holy lineage, hence why Al can use holy weapons and subweapons.]] (Thus, Trevor would likely end up with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral major Belmont/Fahrenheit blood and minor Tepes blood]].) Furthermore, there's the whole bit in ''Order of Ecclesia'' with Dominus--the power of Dracula--being [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} super effective]] against Dracula himself, instantly killing him when everything else Shanoa threw his way failed; a Belmont descended from the Tepes line could be unknowingly drawing upon that power and using it in tandem with the Vampire Killer for extra whipping power. Having the Belmonts be of Dracula's bloodline would actually serve to add a layer of FridgeBrilliance and emotional turbulence to their eternal fight against the night: not only would there be dramatic irony in that Dracula's greatest enemies were both directly and indirectly spawned by him (with both sides largely being unaware of the blood connection), but it may partially explain the persecution of the "supernatural" Belmont clan aside of Leon renouncing his title as a knight prior to ''Lament'', though this would largely apply only to Trevor, who was only welcomed as a hero in Wallachia ''after'' he and his party whipped Drac a new one, since he'd be 1/4 vampire if he was the son of Sonia and Alucard.
