Topic: Did Alucard avenge his mother after her death? (old canon)

[zangetsu468]

Is it the same in the japanese manual?

I was going to flag this as well, but the Sotn manual seems to state he's also Vlad Tepes, retconned by LOI(?)

I have the Saturn manual which is written in Japanese. If I post an image is somebody able to translate?

@zangetsu: do you mean this part of the manual?

My translation for Dracula and Lisa's character description is as follows:

Dracula
(real name: Dracula Vlad Tepes)
age: estimated at 800 years old

Legends say that he rises once every 100 years as the master of Castlevania.
5 years ago, Richter destroyed him along with the castle.
He reigns at the top of the dark world and has massive power in dark magic.
He is also Alucard's father.

Lisa

Alucard's mother. Count Dracula's only beloved wife, a woman like the Virgin Mary.
She created medicines for those people who suffered from the epidemic but she was executed due to the witch trials.

There. I hope that solves the concern.

@crisis: Re. Kojima's illustration, Elisabetha.

@Shiroi thanks for the info, it basically says the same as the English manual.

I realise Elisabetha can be abbreviated to Lisa, but here's the issue: Alucard is half Vampire, he has Vampiric blood and human blood, Elisabetha died prior to Mathias becoming Dracula, hence even if they had a child, that child would be human. Elisabetha hence can't be Lisa. Unless the game about Alucard's origin (cancelled) would have explained otherwise, I still believe it's reincarnation.

As already stated here i guess Lisa was indeed somehow Elisabetha's reincarnation and i've always thought itd' be interesting to see a Castlevania game adaptation for the events in Bram Stoker's Dracula in the fashion of the 1991 coppola's movie, where the vampire travels to london in disguise to chase down Mina Murray as a new reincarnation (after Lisa) of his first love.

About alucard, don't really think he ever avenged his mother by killing humans, even tho i think the audio drama implied he feeding on humans at a certain point of his "life", tho it could as well be while Lisa was still alive, he's always been half vampire after all

Nice anotation... This would be another nod to the Bram Stoker´s novel. After all, as its said Elisabetha is the woman who Mathias love, and Lisa is the woman that Dracula love...
