Oh, bother.
It seems he was just a powerful vampire. The only canon Dark Lord is Dracula himself, though Galamoth tried to usurp him.
Remember that Walter didn't have the Crimson Stone. Possession of that seems to have been the catalyst for Mathias becoming the Dark Lord.

Disgusted, but not surprised
And? And? And? And? AND?
Makes you wonder who the Dark Lord before Mathias was. If there even was a Dark Lord at all.
I'm quite confident in my shitposting you know
Oh, bother.
I doubt there ever was one before Dracula.
Unless you interpret humanity as a whole as the Dark Lord. Remember, the Dark Lord is simply the chosen champion of Chaos. But Chaos itself is an entity born from humanity’s own potential for chaos.

Which kinda sucks, but at least we have Belmonts around. Probably the Morrises, the Lecardes, the Belnades, maybe even the Schneiders too.
I'm quite confident in my shitposting you know
Walter's such a bastard I hate him.
Team Rocket Boss.
Or alternatively, Mathias was the first Dark lord to have power like the Crimson Stone and is basically a superior successor to Walter.
I'll teach you a lesson about just how cruel the world can be. That's my job, as an adult.

Who cares if you hate him? HE IS BELOVED BY THE NIGHT
Oh, bother.
Walter has the pettiest motive for ruining lives too. He's doing it because he's bored and finds sick amusement in forcing would-be challengers to attack him in a doomed attempt to save their loved ones.
He's not even really interested in an actual challenge either, since he's confident that the Ebony Stone will prevent anyone from actually hurting him. Note his Oh, Crap! reaction when the Vampire Killer breaks his defenses.
Nah, though Walter was interested in finding the Crimson Stone. If he had found it he probably would have become the Dark Lord.

Walter is basically Pre-Motive Dracula.
Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.
And? And? And? And? AND?
Back when Dracula was just some bloodsucking asshole and not constantly pissed over two dead wives.
Although that makes me wonder:
Provided she isn't, you know, lying about that, who did Dracula bone or which one of Dracula's possible relatives boned in order for Vlad to have Elizabeth Bartley as a niece?

I'm quite confident in my shitposting you know
Oh, bother.
If Elizabeth was his niece, that means she's the daughter of a sibling of his. He wouldn't have had to bone anyone.
And? And? And? And? AND?
Ah right right. But then where'd Drac find a brother or sister? I'd have thought that was a rather important detail
then again Bartley coulda been lying
I'm quite confident in my shitposting you know
Oh, bother.
It was never confirmed one way or another whether Mathias had any siblings in LOI.

then I'm just gonna assume Bartley was just lying about being Drac's niece just to get more followers.

@Mighty Kombat: I'LL KILL HIM AND THE NIGHT
The Merry Monarch of Darkness
Happy 13th anniversary to Order of Ecclesia! Yes it’s been more than a decade since we had a new game in the original continuity, but damn if OOE and the DS Trilogy in general weren’t high notes to go out on!
The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."
I definitely feel old knowing that Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia has been out that long. That was one of my favorite games for the DS, bullshit drop rates for some of the sidequest items aside.
Oh, bother.
Ah, OOE. The one Castlevania game where Dracula doesn't go One-Winged Angel.
Disgusted, but not surprised
Nah, he just uses HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT. The most terrible form of all.
I have fondness for OOE. I don't think it's one of the best, but it sucks that Iga and his team didn't get to refine the ideas until Bloodstained ROTN.
I do miss CV but I am glad Bloodstained can satisfy my urge for both strains of Vania, Classic and Iga flavour.
Team Rocket Boss.
As I recall, he just slaps Shanoa or something.
It's been 5 years since I played it.

If you try and jump over him he cape slaps you.
Down with the Privileged🪓
I consider Order of Ecclesia the best Castlevania overall, and while I'm sad the series ended it at least went out on a high note.
Bleye knows Sabers.
Oh, bother.
On a side note, it's hilarious how two failed attempts at creating the Philosopher's Stone in the Castlevania verse created two stones that make vampires more powerful.
Alchemist 1: So you failed to make the Philosopher Stone. What did you make instead?
Alchemist 2: Well, this black stone blocks out the sun and makes vampires super powerful.
Alchemist 1: ...And the second one?
Alchemist 2: Well, this red stone turns people into vampires, consumes the souls of other vampires for power, and makes the Grim Reaper your best friend.
Alchemist 1: ...WTF does any of that have to do with making gold!?
Alchemist 2: <shrugs>
Disgusted, but not surprised
Team Rocket Boss.
Having the Grim Reaper as your best friend sounds pretty lit though.

I thought Walter was the previous Dark Lord.
