Castlevania has an ongoing uphill battle for every new villain it introduces. The series is synonymous with its first final boss, Dracula. Every other antagonist suffers the tragic indignity of direct comparison to the deific figure lording himself above vampirekind. Though no Castlevania villain escapes that confrontation unscathed, Nocturne's Erzsebet Báthory remains excellent. Her second in command, Drolta Tzuentes, stole some spotlight for herself.
