Odd sprite in the background of Level 3' in DXC

Stupid thread, but did anybody notice in DXC, level 3' (the alt level for 3) at the very start of the level, don't move.

In the background, standing on the bridge is a shadowed figure, cape blowing in the wind.

Any ideas???

Just an interesting easter egg/trivia.

Thats odd. I don't have DXC yet, but I'll check that out when I get it. Maybe it's supposed to be Shaft?

From what I recall, there was a similar figure in the original RoB. Yeah, my guess is Dracula. But, others, for some strange reason, believe it's Alucard watching over Richter. LOL! ;D

Of course he's asleep, but I bumped into some fans who are diehard convinced that it IS Alucard.  :)

It's not supposed to be anyone in particular.  It's just another minor background detail, of which Rondo has many.

Yes, I doubt that's Dracula, just a random guy like the skeleton before the minotaur boss.

Actually I always thought it was Dracula and he casts a spell that summons that three-eyed skull ghost at you.

In original RoB, that ghost comes from the background bridge, kinda.

Why would Drac be there? Isn't he supposed to be up in the castle keep drinkin' blood out a goblet? Y'know, preparing for the "Die Monster!" speech dialogue thing? lol. It's more likely Shaft casting that spell, Jorge.

I'm sure Dracula doesn't just hang out in the throne room all day. He's got a gigantic castle, I'm sure he goes out and enjoys it

Yeah it'd be boring if he just sat on his thrown all night I'm sure he goes out to have some fun too. He just goes back there when the belmont makes it to that area to fight him.

My guess is that, if anyone in particular, it's Shaft or possibly even Death.  Dracula is basically his own last line of defense, so it seems odd that he'd leave his castle just to personally send a rather weak skull monster your way.
