Either way, I feel bad for him. The guy keeps being resurrected, only to be killed within days, sometimes minutes, of coming back to life. It's like "Ahhhhh, back in the world of the living once again. I wonder if this time I'll have time to..." *Belmont suddenly appears, stakes him in the heart, and sends him back to hell*
Poor guy. Young or old, he knows he's going down soon after. Must be depressing.
I prefer old btw, but I did think having him appear as a child in CV64 was a cool idea.
