The heroes of Castlevania don't have much in common before they set off to defeat Dracula together. Their most notable shared trait is their unique lineages. Sypha is the descendant of a nomadic sect that keeps history and magic alive through oral tradition. Alucard is Dracula's son, carrying the immense power, responsibility, and guilt that implies. Trevor is the latest in a long line of Belmonts tasked with hunting Dracula. Leon was the first Belmont to dedicate the family to their purpose.
