Simon is the character featured in the most Castlevania games.
His adventures began when the residents of Transylvania sought the current
Belmont to fight Dracula. Later he had to rid himself of a curse put upon
him by Dracula, and then had to fight Drac yet again, because he wasn't quite
dead. Probably the most prominent and recognized of the Belmonts.
His uniform is brown (CV1), red (Vampire Killer, Castlevania 2) or blueish
(Castlevania 2). Nobody quite knows his hair color...it has been seen to be
blond, brown, black or pink, depending on the game.

Richter Belmont
1792 - Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
1792 - Castlevania: Dracula X
1797 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
1944 - Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
|
|
Richter is most likely the grandson of Solieyu Belmont, captured in
Belmont's Revenge. Hero of both Dracula X's (and also an enemy in
Symphony of the Night), Richter had to fight his way through yet
another wave of Dracula's baddies to save his girlfriend Annette,
and her sister, Maria. In Symphony of the Night, Richter mysteriously
dissappears, and nobody is quite sure why. He may have been kidnapped
by minions of Dracula, to work for him. Richter has a very cool backflip
ability which gets him out of sticky situations.
Richter wears a stylish headband and a cool blue uniform. In 'Symphony
of the Night', he wears his hair quite a bit longer and looks more like
an 18th century warrior than before. He also gains a few new abilities, most noticeable
a dash, a slide attack, a super jump and an uppercut. He makes a guest appearance in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

Trevor Belmont
1476 - Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse
1479 - Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
|
|
When the town of Warakiya fell under attack from the evil Count Dracula,
the people found a surviving Belmont, who was Trevor (the Belmonts had
previously been exiled from the country, because of the populace's fear
of the Belmont's extreme powers.) Although he is not widely as known as
his grandson Simon, he is still well recognized. He wears a similar outfit
to Simon, although wears a cape when not fighting vampires. For whatever
reason, Trevor is named Ralph in Japan.
After defeating Dracula, Trevor remains in the area to fight off the
remnants of Dracula's minions. He runs into Hector, a former Devil
Forgemaster, and mistakes him for an enemy. They clash several times,
but Trevor eventually relents and realizes that Hector's goal is the
same as his.

Christopher Belmont
1576 - Castlevania Adventure
1591 - Castlevania: Belmont's Revenge
|
|
Christopher Belmont made his appearances in the two Castlevania
games for the Gameboy. There's not really a whole lot to say about
this Belmont, except for the fact that he's yet another one of the
family that killed Dracula when he arose again. He also saved his
son Solieyu from Dracula when he was kidnapped in Belmont's Revenge.
Christopher is most likely the great-grandfather of Simon. For some reason, he was
the star of the Castlevania comic book.

Sonia Belmont
1450 - Castlevania Legends
|
|
Originally, Sonia Belmont was meant to be the first member of the
Belmonts to fight
Dracula. Taking him on in Castlevania Legends for the Gameboy, she
wields
an upgradeable flame whip just like Christopher. Sonia has blond hair
which
is usually tied back into a pony tail, and wears a light armor. It is
uncertain whether
Sonia is the mother or sister of Trevor Belmont. Although she does not
wield any of the
traditional Castlevania weapons, she has a variety of soul powers, as
well as a "Burning Mode", which makes her invincible to damage. Alas,
she was retconned by Koji Igarashi, and is no longer part of the
Castlevania canon.

Juste Belmont
1748 - Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
|
|
The grandson of Simon, Juste (pronounced Joost) is sent into the castle
once again to save his friends Maxim and Lydie from Dracula. Apparently
having inherited some of the magic abilities from his ancestor Sypha,
Juste can combine his special weapons with magic spells, in addition to the traditional whip.
His name is actually French in origin.

Julius Belmont
2035 - Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
2036 - Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
|
|
Found wandering throughout the castle, Julius Belmont (who calls himself J) was one
of the vampire hunters who sealed away Dracula's castle in 1999. Unfortunately,
this incident has left him bereft of his memory. Only by exploring the castle
can he hope to restore his mind and discover his true purpose. He can be unlocked
as a playable character after beating the game, and has access to the usual selection
of Castlevania special weapons. He also has a special "warp" manuever that lets him quickly
dash behind opponents to surprise them.

Leon Belmont
1094 - Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
|
|
A noble knight in 11th century Europe, Leon's dear lady Sara is wisked away by the vampire
Walter. Headstrong, he enters the castle grounds unarmed, and is given a whip by the old
man Rinaldo, who inhabits the premises. Using this and his magic gauntlet, he enters the
castle, in hope to find his fiancee.
