The Story Of the Belmont Family
page 5 Christopher Belmont
User ImageChristopher BelmontUser Image

User ImageChristopher has managed to retain his title as one of the lesser-known Belmonts, which is an odd occurence when we consider the Game Boy titles and their importance to the series. Despite being overlooked, he played as important a role as any other who was cast into the role of hero. Too, Christopher is in the category of rare Belmonts who have fought Dracula on two occasions: The first encounter was very much a part of the Belmont tradition, whence the Count raised from his slumber as part of the eternal cycle. Through his show of heroism in combating th the Dark Lord and his vile minions, Christopher did his part to further earn the trust of the skeptical countryside; over time, the local populace even began to share in the festivities that highlighted the ritual whence the elder Belmonts would hand down the Vampire Killer whip and the mystic sub-weapons to the next hunter in line.

Dracula managed to for many years survive and avoid Earthly banishment through the use of magic and trickery. Still, despite the Count's believed absence, a subconcious threat still lingered in people's minds. Their question: "Who would destroy Dracula if his return were imminent?" Sixteen years after his first adventure, Christopher was prepared to hand down the weapons to his son, Soleiyu, who wasn't likely to battle the Count due to the thought-solid precedent of a 100-year waiting period. But Dracula had by then revived much of his power, poised to strike; on the night before the ritual, Dracula used a spell to possess Soleiyu with the intention of using the youth's potent magical power to raise his dark forces from their slumber while causing a rift within the Belmont family; ultimately, his goal was to raise the submerged Castlevania from the depths and foment a battle between father and son, potentially eliminating both. The odds stacked against him, it was the aging Christopher who once again took hold of the Vampire Killer and set out to save his kin as well as the world; with great courage, he was able to restore his son's senses without felling the young warrior, and he in following vanquished the Dark Lord, finally securing a true victory.

A century later, Dracula rose again to assault mankind. This time, it was Christopher Belmont that took command of the Vampire Killer whip and stood up to protect Transylvania. Like his ancestors before him, he faced the trials and fought his way across the Transylvanian countryside and into Dracula's deadly castle; his brave actions in facing his destiny meant yet another confrontation between good and evil. It was no surprise, then, that Christopher was able to get the best of Count Dracula and outlast him in a battle for the ages. However, there was more to it than anyone could expect: Just before the final blow was to be struck against Dracula, the cunning Dark Lord quickly, cleverly, used what remained of his magic power to transform himself into mist, which created the illusion that he had been thoroughly defeated. Satisfied with what he thought was the banishment of his enemy, Christopher raced out of the crumbling castle to make a daring escape.

Christopher climbed to a nearby mountain cliff (as had become standard Belmont procedure) where he watched the castle collapse unto itself. When the coast was clear, Dracula shapeshifted into bat form and hastily, nonchalantly, escaped from the wreckage. Though devastated from the battle, weakened to the lowest of levels, Dracula would live on in his depleted state for many years, patiently waiting to strike again. This time, though, the Belmonts would never see it coming.
Sixteen years had passed since Christopher Belmont defeated the Count, and he was living a rather peaceful life when a special day was about to precipitate: It was time for him to hand down the Vampire Killer whip and the mystic sub-weapons to his son, Soleiyu Belmont, who had come of age and was ready to take his place in line as the next vampire hunter. It was not just Christopher but the whole town that was preparing for the big event. But the night before the celebration, Dracula seized the opportunity and struck a stinging blow. Having largely remained in mist form for those prior sixteen years, Dracula finally regained enough of his power to the point where he could recall his ability of possession; in mist form, he seeped his way into the room of the sleeping Soleiyu Belmont and possessed the youth, coaxing him onto the side of evil.

Though his power was slowly returning, Dracula was in no condition to fight a war or to even lead his own army in its march toward world domination. So he would instead use his new outfit, the now-Soleiyu-Demon, as a temporary resource until he was ready to assume his rightful form. Using his new host body, with its powerful bloodline, Dracula would raise his dreaded castle from the depths. But first, he held his ring finger into the air and conjured the formation of four separate castles: The Plant Castle, the Cloud Castle, the Rock Castle and the Crystal Castle, and he assigned to each its own boss guardian to preside over and protect it. If Christopher were to come looking for his son, the Count would have an efficient means of stalling his efforts.

Come morning, Christopher was awakened to the news that his son had mysteriously vanished and that four castles had appeared out of nowhere. Having no other choice, the aging Christopher was forced to again call upon the power of his family's sacred weaponry. Enraged by this plot, as if himself possessed, he entered into into each of the castles, undeterred, braved their many dangers, and defeated the four bosses. Yet Christopher had only succeeded in spoiling Dracula's initial plan: Because he still hadn't yet regained enough power to raise his castle, even in possessing Soleiyu, Dracula instead finished the deed using the life-force energy of the four bosses that Christopher just defeated. Unfazed by unwittingly contributing to Dracula's plan, Christopher penetrated the Count's newly risen castle.

Christopher braved the bloody road and reached the highest point of the castle, where he was relieved to find Soleiyu waiting in a chandelier-filled hall. His relief, though, turned to shock when his son refused an embrace and instead challenged him to a duel to the death. Thus, an intense battle between father and son echoed into infinity; in the end, Christopher's will for peace shined through, and his glancing blows knocked the remaining Dracula essence right out of Soleiyu, who soon after came to his senses. With his son now safe, Christopher entered into the last leg of the castle and prepared for another battle with the Count. It wasn't going to be easy, though--Dracula had by now regained enough power to retake his rightful form, and he was more than ready for another round with the Belmont warrior. Still, then, for the sake of all humankind, the steel-willed Christopher was once again able to defeat the Prince of Darkness.
