Topic: Schneider Belmont?? What might've been

[secretagentBelmont]

Okay we all know that Reinhardt Schneider is one of the offshoot descendants of the Belmont clan such as the Graves, Baldwins, and Morris.  But early in development he was simply known as Schneider Belmont.  What I'm wondering is how the timeline/storyline would look today if they had kept him as simply Schneider Belmont?  Would we have any of these offshoot clans?  Would Shanoa and Ecclessia's mission even have a purpose since the Belmont's never disappeared?  Would they have been able to tie the storyline into the canon of Stoker's original novel by making the Morris's descendants of the Belmonts?  Maybe the main character of Bloodlines would be Morris Belmont .   

 Still as it is now with all the non-Belmont surnamed descendants,  where in the HELL did Julius come from if the last Belmont seen was Richter back in 1797???

in the story line for PoR, they stated that the reason was that the Belmonts were forbidden to use the Vampire Killer for hundred years. Chances are Dracula cursed the bloodline or the whip. Eventualy Julius became the first belmont to use the whip again after that time period, and was the one who finnaly beat dracula.

Oh course this was done to explain all the Belmont knockoffs in all these game.

I'm still curious about Victor Belmonts story myself. Apparantly he renounced the Belmont name, and became a mercenary, but eventualy he was supposed to be dragged back into his destiny by some time warp. if The Dreamcast game had come out, maybe he might of been the reason the belmonts couldn't use the whip.

The Wygol villagers from Order of Ecclesia where also main Belmonts. Chances are that Julius in a descendant of one of them.

Julius must've gotten his good looks from Laura.

you know, it's kinda strange that out of all the belmonts, the first one to develope facial hair is the one that put an end to Dracula. Maybe that's what happened during the hundred years, Belmont Breeding to develope holy gotee's.

Correction there secretagentBelmont. The Schneider family, the Graves family and the Morris family are decendents of the Belmonts. The Baldwin family isn't. Morris Baldwin assissted the Graves family in sealing Dracula away but it was shear luck that Morris Baldwin survived whilst both Nathen's parents did not.

Agreed.
