Brauner's name is derived from Victor Brauner which is a surname but in Castlevania they use it as a first name.
 

Orlox and Carmilla were never a problem. This explanation wouldn't work for the first two because that would just be silly. Brauner didn't became a vampire until WO I. I guess Cornell would work but I think it would be just stupid...                  
 

I definitely agree with you that it's very unnecessary to try and connect the two continuities, so it's a bit silly to try and do so.
I don't think it would really be an "insult" to the Castlevania cannon, though.  As much as I love the series, the story has become very convoluted and ridiculous over the years.  I mean really, "OMG!  It's reincarnated Dracula....from the FUTURE!,"  or "oh, I get it.  The guy in the top hat is a time traveler.  Wait, what?"  That’s part of the reason I'm glad this is a reboot.... the series has  A LOT of baggage.

Anyway, those scans pretty much confirm that Zobek is a lord of shadow.  ("Zobek and the other lords of shadow")

Okay that one picture confirms that he isn't satan in the future he is dracula.

Satan becomes dracula somehow.

[Kingshango]

Satan's looking a little Dracula.

Also im happy to see that he is properly covered, unlike Dante's Inferno's Satan.

Wow, Kojima's trailer really did spoil the final boss. What the hell.

[Oralox]

to me its a little stupid how they call that dragon zombie looking titan dracolich.
Why can't they just call him zombie dragon to be more CV?

[Apolake]

I just realized that the TGS trailer kinda hinted it was Satan who is behind the events since Baba Yaga mentions her master as the "King of the Angels". When she said that, I thought, "Lucifer? Can't be." and I just dismissed it.  Way to go Kojima.

[Dremn]

Where did those scans come from?

[Nagumo]

Yeah, I thought the same thing with Jason Isaacs said "and a certain Prince of Darkness" in that gameplay trailer but I dismissed it because I thought the idea of Satan in Castlevania to be pretty ridiculous. One of the few things I never expected to see in a Castlevania game actually.      

[Oralox]

I am certain after Satan is defeated, Dracula is born.

[Kingshango]

Satan in a Castlevania is odd but I can accept that since this is a reboot. But what is what the fuck worthy is that last pic.

[spazzy_d]

Satan as a one off end of game baddy?  Pretty cool.  Satan some how becoming Dracula and hanging around the series?  Kind of lame.    Having Dracula, or someone else, become a new "Lord of Darkness" makes more sense.  I don't mind if Satan has his presense felt in the future (especially if this timeline spins off some sequels) but I think having the Devil plotting in a "I'll get you next time Belmont!" *shakes fist* sort of way is beyond cheesey.

[Oralox]

I am now waiting for the game to come out so I now what happens to Gabe and Satan.

[Munchy]

MMmm...No, not like Dante's inferno, but more like Ghosts'n Goblins.

But if it's like GnG, where's his Fire-face-penis?

Portrait of Ruin/Symphony of the Night/CV64LoD never state whether Brauner/Olrox/Cornell is a surname or a given name.
Carmilla is never even stated to be a surname or given name in the original novel.
However, I don't necessarily think these characters decidedly are, or are related to, those in the other games.
Besides, Cox said he specifically tried to contradict the original canon.
