You're thinking too hard. It's not Satan nor Flame Demon. It's a character that has never appeared on Castlevania before, but had plenty of room to do so.

Also, when I say "property" I'm talking "estate", not "qualities". Dracula owns a number of things, and this character is assigned as master of this thing in particular.

Oh, now I know what I'm searching at least, thanks. I'll try again in a week if nobody discovers until then. (It has been fun)

The duck is returning. It's part of the Castlevania mythos and one of the billion other homages we pay to the entire Castlevania lore (not within the world of the game, but dev mythos -- the duckies exist in Castlevania for a reason beyond nonsense. It's a reference to a real person who considered ducks "scarier than Dracula").

So keep an eye out for the duck.

the duck also may or may not drop a container made of interwoven protein fibers when struck with your head

There is no plans for Kicker Skeleton. Though I'm not saying he's NOT getting in. Our bestiary is constantly growing, shrinking and changing. So "there being no plans" and "there having 0 chance" are very different things.

Hades?

Not Hades. Also, making Hades, a god, into a vampire is a sure way to invoke the ire of everyone :P

Think a less powerful character. Much less powerful.

Davy Jones? You plan to make all ghost ships be the Flying Dutchman?

edit:Wait... Jones? If I'm right you dont plan to make Graham Jones a descendant of him do you? (I always brings Graham Jones to the table in this forums, I need to stop doing that...)

For the sake of the end of this enigma, I'll say DING DING DING we have a winner!

It's not Davy Jones, but you are close enough. It's the original Flying Dutchman's captain, Hendrick van der Decken. To put it simply, he is now a vampire with poltergeist powers. His powers will retroactivelly "insert" him on the story (that's where you wait to see how exactly will it work). However, the ship is not getting renamed. Castlevania named it "Ghost Ship" and Ghost Ship it is.

But remember, he's a minor vampire of Dracula. He will not outshine the big guys, who are still the tried and true Carmilla and Olrox.

So... Castlevania with mixed in moments of Pirates of the Carribean? This is already shaping up good in my eyes :D

Not that hard to realize how he'll be in actually. He'll be the guy behind the master swords and killing portrait from RoB
