Belmont Clan

"It's the Belmont Clan. They seem to be very good at hunting Dracula of course. Now all Belmont Heroes from the past are now being united together to fight the Undead Alliance threats once and for all."

--Su Ji-Hoon

The Belmont Clan (ベルモンド一族 Berumondo Ichizoku) is, by far, the most important and prominent clan in the Castlevania series. Despite their role in history, they are not, however, the only main protagonists seen throughout the franchise, but typically play an integral role in most games' storylines.

Since the ninth century, the Belmonts are entrusted with the duty of slaying Count Dracula and various other creatures of the night. For this purpose they use as their main weapon the sacred whip known as the Vampire Killer, which has the power to destroy any entity of darkness, and also has the power to destroy the count. They also use other weapons to accomplish this, which coupled alongside their skill and power made ​​them formidable enemies of the creatures of darkness.
