Simon Belmont: Difference between revisions

'''Simon Belmont''' ({{ja|シモン・ベルモンド|Shimon Berumondo}}, ''Simon Belmondo'') is one of the main characters that appear in the ''Castlevania'' franchise. Being the protagonist of the first few games and having his battle against [[Dracula]] chronicled the most in games out of all the protagonists, he is often considered the face of the franchise next to [[Alucard]], and has made several appearances outside of the series.

==Character Description==

Simon comes from the Belmont clan, a bloodline of hunters with immense power that have engaged in combat against Dracula for centuries. Wielding the sacred Vampire Killer whip, he storms [[Dracula's Castle]] in 1691, defeating several of his minions and the vampire himself. Seven years later, his wounds received during the battle remain unhealed, and learns that he must resurrect Dracula by gathering his five body parts and destroy them in order to break the curse he had received, setting off the events of ''Castlevania II: Simon's Quest''. Afterwards, he buries Dracula's remains and is praised as a hero.
