Richter Belmont/Bio & Battles

"I'm overflowing with the blood of a vampire hunter, after all. I need to let a little out once in a while."

- Richter Belmont

As a member of the Belmont bloodline, Richter Belmont was trained from birth to be a vampire hunter, preparing him to one day face against the Lord of Darkness, Dracula. Richter did indeed face off against Dracula and his army after he was resurrected by cultists, but Richter defeated the forces of darkness and slew the Count.

In 1792, precisely a hundred years after Dracula was slain by Simon Belmont, Dracula was resurrected by a cult called the Followers of Darkness and Shaft, a wizard and their leader. As the Belmonts grew in power with each generation, the newly-resurrected vampire's first action was to attack Richter's home city and kidnap four maidens to lure him to his castle, while also sending Death, his servant, to intercept Richter. Richter successfully reached the castle and fought his way through Dracula's forces. He freed the four maidens, including Maria Renard, a young girl with magical powers, who chose to aid him on his quest. Richter confronted Dracula in his throne room and killed him.

Now hailed as a hero, Richter disappeared after falling under the spell of Shaft, and was manipulated into personally resurrecting Dracula. This event caused Dracula's son, Alucard, to awaken and investigate why Dracula's castle had become active early. Alongside Maria Renard, Alucard discovered Shaft's plot and killed him, freeing Richter's mind, but not before Dracula was successfully resurrected. Alucard defeated his father in battle and once again destroyed him. Richter continued on as a vampire hunter, but eventually disappeared, leaving the Belmont clan's weapon, the Vampire Killer, in the hands of the Morris family.
