Is it not correct?

Castlevania timeline is not one. This family tree does not reflect it. Please refer to link pages for details.

Is it not correct?

Well... It gets most of the things right, but misses on some quite important ones.

Firstly, Sonia Belmont is not canon, and thus Trevor is not Sonia and Alucard's son (As Jorge put up there).

Secondly, Illyanna Riktor doesn't exist on the main Castlevania canon. She's a creation for the "Castlevania: Belmont Legacy" comic.

Desmond, Dolores and Zoe are from Order of Shadows, another non-canon game.

From all of Simon's wifes, only Serena has a shred of a chance of being canon (thanks to Haunted Castle). The others come from novels, comics and other non canon sources.

Maria Renard never had Eric Lecarde with Alucard. The Lecardes are Belmont descendants.

The Schneiders (Castlevania 64) are not canon.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Hey man, I've played Otomedius Excellent and it mentions Julius Belmont by name as her big brother.
There's nothing out there that says that game is NOT canon.

Then again, going by 'all appearances', we'd have to start getting to the nitty gritty and deciding which games use characters in alternate universes, that are most certainly, definitely, not canon (Konami Dream TV Mix, Otomedius series, Konami Wai Wai World, Pachislot titles, etc.).

Julius' younger sister is Kokoro. This is pretty funny and I'm okay with it.

I'm glad someone appreaciates my work on the CVW. It was hard as hell to do.

Wait... Where is Trevor's complete name mentioned?? Was not the "C" intended to stand for "Christopher"?

That's a fan name. Per the story writer of CV3 Trevor's middle initial was supposed to stand for Christopher. That was because he was supposed to be the same Christopher mentioned in CV1's manual. So "Trevor Christopher Belmont" was originally conceived as the same character as Christopher from the GB games. IGA later retconned this to he could fit CV3 and the CVA in the same continuity. So who knows what his middle name is in the IGA canon.

Hey man, I've played Otomedius Excellent and it mentions Julius Belmont by name as her big brother.

 

Could you source that for me, Jorge? I think the CV wiki has been trying to confirm that for a couple of years or so.

It's in the character bio in the X360 version.
I own the game and it's there, but I don't have a reliable screencapture.

There's also the fact that Maria Renard is actually a Belmont descendant and is not blood-related to Annette. The RoB game story mentions it.

If it's not too much trouble, could you please post a transcript of the bio? That would probably be good enough as a source.

I already thought Annette was possibly not related to Maria at all  even though Maria calls her as oneechan or oneesan(big sister), something like the way a little boy or girl address to someone who is older than him/her but not too distant. Note that Maria calls Richter as Oniichan(big brother) even in their first meeting/encounter.

[Claimh Solais]

I think people back then were reading too much into Maria calling Annette "big sister". I, personally, think that she didn't mean that Annette was literally her sister, but rather meant that as a form of respect, or even considers her close enough to be a sister.

Dracula X on SNES made them blood-related, but for obvious reasons, that game isn't the canon version of the story.

Well, the only game I know has bio for the characters on X360 is Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, and no mention for Trevor Belmont is made on that game (to my knowledge). Symphony of the Night's port also doesn't mention Trevor by name outside of Fake Trevor (also to my knowledge). I'm really curious about this.

Trevor is mentioned by name in SotN by Richter, when he finds out who Alucard is. Original dub, by the way. Not the DXC dub. DXC's dub left that line stupidly ambiguous as to what he meant.

"Alucard? THE Alucard? You can't be... That was over three hundred years ago!" ~DXC Dub
"Alucard? The same Alucard who fought alongside my ancestor Trevor Belmont? But that was over three hundred years ago!" ~PS1 Dub (I don't know what I typed is 100% accurate)

Ah yes, but I meant on the sense Jorge meant. It shows up on a character bio, but there's only two "bio systems" on X360, one in HoD (where no mention to Trevor is made) and one in SotN, where it's about Fake Trevor. I wanna know from just where came this "Cornelius".

Ooooh. I misunderstood. My bad.

Well, there IS a "bio system" in LoS1 and 2 (don't remember if MoF had one), but that's nothing we're looking for, lol.

Didn't Jorge said the "Cornelius" stuff was from a Harmony of Dissonance book-thingy or something?
