You can explain why they are almost identic if they dont are the same person/body? I dont have seem this level of similiraties before in CV, the only exception being Juste, but he uses another outfit and dont belong to the same game that Alucar appears.

Admittedly, if Alucard is not Trevor, that would be a big surprise, they say that the argument amazed. Although I can hardly believe it. I'm 90% convinced it's Trevor. That would mean that Gabriel had another son (as a vampire?). Mmm many years without a woman. Maybe he changed his mind with hints of Carmilla .... (is dead .. but does that matter?)

I am doubtful that Gabriel would get another woman in this timeline.
A palette swap for Castlevania is not done without reason. so I am definitely sure Trevor is Alucard.
Cox says the ending of Trevor is a shocker. Uhm... if he becomes Alucard, the fans totally called it and it no longer is shocking.

It's his voice and the similarities to his attire that got people speculating from the beginning. Also it doesn't help that Cox is willing to dish out all info about Trevor, Simon and Gabriel but he keeps his mouth wide shut regarding Alucard's origin and motive for wanting to kill his "father". It's very similar to how he dodged the "is Dracula in the game?" questions he got during LOS1's development.

It's strange that the game comes out in a week, we know about every playable character but we know next to nothing about the one character in the game we're all curious about. At this point, unless someone leaks it beforehand, they're keeping his story secret till release.

Worst case, they keep his origin a secret till Lords of Shadow 2, which would be utter, total bullshit.

Cox just confirmed on Twitter that Alucard appears in LOS2 and use the sword you get at MoF, is more than likely that Alucard can handle ....

The ESRB rating mentions a scene where a character is seduced by a female vampire
it's possible Gabriel is the character mentioned and that he was seduced rather than fell in love with another woman.

ESRB rating was referring to the Succubus battle.

As for Gabriel, I honestly don't get why he can't "get another woman". Like C Belmont said, it's not like he needs love to procreate. Even though I doubt Alucard's origin will be as simple as that anyway.

I read somewhere (possibly Cox's twitter) that Dracula has his own maidens to feed on in LOS2. If that's true then I don't think Gabriel has too much of a problem moving on.

Cox denied Trevor was Alucard. It's possible that there still is a connenction between the two. For example, he could be his evil twin brother.  :P

Personally, I think he is Trevor's half brother...

My bet: Trevor beomes Alucard after Gabriel kills him, but the last revelation at the end of the game is another thing.

Not sure that this was ever mentioned but there's a coffin in the chamber where the mirror of fate is and it's where Trevor and Dracula fought. It's also the one of the first areas we saw Alucard in.

It seems clear that the relationship between Trevor and Alucard is the last scene of the game and connect directly with CGI of LOS2 we saw.

It is possible that like Gabriel/Dracula, Alucard is the evil part of Trevor, remember CGI of LOS2 when Alucard seemed have a mask on (and therefore saw his reflection in the sword), but that does not mean that the good part of Trevor ascended into heaven, may have been misled by Zobek and wear the "mask of evil" evil hand separates.

Anyway something does not fit me .. If Alucard born from Trevor (both live or die Trevor) spend 30 years until Simon comes. If Alucard wants to kill Gabriel why wait so long? .... According to Cox all LOS2 CGI scenes pass after MoF, so that encounter between Alucard and Gabriel is after Simon...

Either Alucard's creation took that long or his weapon(Dark Pain) is garbage against Gabriel and Simon wielded a weapon that is somewhat effective against Gabriel(moreso it being Trevor's Combat Cross).  Hence the eventual forging of the sword Alucard will come to wield which has no name(Alucard Sword was always a ridiculous name IMO). 

I'm going go with Alucard is Trevor but also not Trevor at the same time.  The body(including voice and whatnot) might appear to be Trevor's but the mind may not be, and it's possible the "Lost Soul" might have something to do with it.

We'll find out soon enough next week on what actually happens.

Perhaps Alucard is a curse, Trevor is cursed to come back to life as a dark being and KILL his own son to regain humanity/stand a chance to kill Dracul.

Everything comes full circle

Call me oldschool, and as cheesy as it may sound compared to todays standards, but I still prefer Robert Belgrade as the voice of Alucard over anyone else o .o

That's because he had an awesome voice.  Yuri Lowenthal ****ing sucks. 

The old one felt like you played as a timeless supernatural being that had royal commanding presence, whereas Lowenthal kinda doesn't.  At all.

I guess that all IGA haters are rejoicing now. Have fun with your fancy Belmont Dracula and rat stealth.
