The most renowned of vampire hunters.
~ Description.

Simon Belmont is one of the main protagonists of the Castlevania franchise. Making his debut in the original Castlevania, he is a renowned vampire hunter from the 17th Century who belongs to a group of vampire hunters known as the Belmont Clan, a group of warriors tasked to defeat Count Dracula.

He is armed with the sacred whip known as the Vampire Killer and various sub-weapons. He becomes synonymous with the franchise itself, often representing it in various media.

He was voiced by Hideo Isihikawa in the Japanese version and Keith Silverstein in the English version.

Roles[]

He serves as the main protagonist of Castlevania, it's remake Castlevania Chronicles, Castlevania II: Simons Quest, Super Castlevania IV and Haunted Castle, one of the main protagonists of Castlevania Judgment, Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night, Grimore of Souls and Harmony of Despair, and the posthumous overarching protagonist of Harmony of Dissonance.

He also serves as one of the main protagonists of Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate and a player character in Super Smash Bros: Ultimate.

Biography[]

Simon grew up hearing the tales of his ancestors Trevor Belmont and Christopher about how they eventually vanquished Dracula. Simon himself often wondered if he could live up to their reputation.

At the age of 22, in the year of 1691, Simon was given the chance to prove himself as Dracula rose from the grave. Simon braved Dracula's Castle, also known as Demon Castle or Castlevania, with the ancestral Vampire Killer at hand, defeating his minions and eventually the Count himself. However, on his death, Dracula put a curse on Simon so the wounds he received during the battle will not heal.

One year after the defeat of Dracula, Simon was taken into a time rift by a man named Aeon, telling him to fight various people, including his ancestor Trevor, in order to confront Galamoth, who planned to destroy Dracula and destroy all timelines. After the task was done, Simon was returned to his time.

Six years later, in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, the curse of Dracula began to take toll on Simon's life and he felt that he was going to die. A woman approached him and told him that to lift the curse, Simon must revive Dracula by gathering six of his body parts and performing the ritual on his fallen castle. Around this time, the curse of Dracula has spread throughout Transylvania, making monsters roam the area and causing several people to lose trust in Simon.

Despite the difficulties, Simon managed to gather the remnants of Dracula, revive him and kill him once again. His bravery in defeating Dracula finally earned him fame and he would be forever known as one of the greatest Vampire Hunters of the ages.

Lords of Shadow[]

In the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow reboot, instead of being a distant descendant of Trevor, Simon is directly the son of Trevor, who was instead the son of Gabriel Belmont, who ended up becoming Dracula in this continuity. When Trevor set off to defeat Dracula, he told his wife, Sypha Belmont, to take Simon away in case he never returned. True to his words, Trevor never returned. Shortly after, Dracula sent a pack of werewolves to destroy many Brotherhood of Light members, and separated Simon from Sypha, who was promptly slain. Escaping to the mountains, Simon was raised by the people there, but still kept his desire to avenge his parents.

Eventually, he set off to his land of birth to confront his family's murderer, the one calling himself Dragon, Dracula. He was aided by the one claiming to be Dracula's son, Alucard, and eventually found out a terrible truth: That Alucard was Trevor, who failed to defeat Dracula and revived, and that Dracula was his grandfather Gabriel. Despite these, Simon's resolve to defeat Dracula prevailed and he became the first Belmont to defeat Dracula, if temporarily.

Personality[]

In most of his incartations, Simon is generally depicted as a brash, brusque, but overall heroic, determined and honorable man who is proud of being a Belmont, and strongly desires to live up to his family name by ridding the world of the threat of Dracula. It could also be said that Simon possesses an uncanny strength of will, as he was able to travel throughout the whole of Europe, find Dracula's remains, resurrect him and ultimately defeat him for a second time, all while being afflicted by a curse that was making him progressively weak, and that he cured by accomplishing this task.

Lords of Shadow[]

In the Lords of Shadow timeline, Simon is a gruff, aggressive, vengeful and tormented man with a violent temperament and little care or patiente for anything other than his main goal, which is to destroy Dracula to avenge the deaths of his parents. It is mentioned that he had a fearsome reputation that exceeded that of even his own father Trevor, who by his own right was an accomplished warrior. This can be attributed to Simon's rageful nature, as he's shown to be extremely brutal and merciless with his enemies and has a rather barbaric approach to combat. While his temperament can make him impulsive at times, it otherwise does not impede him from rampaging through Dracula's castle with abandon.

Trivia[]

  • Castlevania: Judgment, for the Nintendo Wii, marks Simon's third appearance in a 3D fighting game, after his bouts in Battle Tryst and DreamMix TV: World Fighters. Like many of the other playable characters, Simon is also able to use his traditional sub-weapons in the game.
  • Simon Belmont can "moonwalk" on the stairs as seen in Super Castlevania IV.
  • Despite Simon Belmont among with the rest of the Belmont clan being Vampire Hunters, it's safe to say people refer to them as somewhat unorthodox due to the fact he takes on Dracula with a whip.
  • According to Screwattack: The Armory, Simon Belmont is known to be utterly crazy due to the fact he destroys a wall with his Whip and eats the food hidden in the wall.
  • Keith Silverstein, Simon's English voice actor, also did the voice of Albus in Order of Ecclesia.
  • The original concept behind 2010 series reboot Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was to remake the original Castlevania starring Simon. While this idea was ultimately not followed through, Lords of Shadows protagonist, Gabriel Belmont, wears armour which is reminiscent of Simon's artwork and sprite from Simon's Quest. Lords of Shadow developer David Cox mentioned in an interview that Gabriel is wearing armour similar to Simon's. This is presumably a reference to Gabriel being the first main character of a new Castlevania series, as Simon was of the original franchise.
  • Simon Belmont was the protagonist of Paul Anderson's original script of Castlevania: The Movie. Several rewrites of this script have taken place and it is not known if he will make an appearance in the final cut.
