Gabriel Belmont (Dracula)

Story

He was originally a member of the Brotherhood of Light, an elite group of holy knights who protected and defended the innocent against supernatural threats, but after defeating the ultimate evil, losing everything he loved on his quest and obtaining immense power from an ancient demon, he became the most powerful vampire in history, known as Dracula, and started a war upon the world and the God he had once served.Gabriel became an immortal vampire and took on the name of Dracul, but the people knew him as Dracula. He made Carmilla's castle his own fortress and grew to master new forms of magic, such as the Void and Chaos, as well as command new legions of monsters. The Brotherhood of Light sought to kill Dracula, being partially responsible for his fate and for being a vampire and sent many knights to the castle to slay him, all of whom failed. At the same time, Dracula sought to take his revenge on the Brotherhood and remake the world as he saw fit.

Personality and Mind

As a child, Gabriel sometimes fell into dark moods and had a tendency to brood, which could only be broken with the aid of Marie, whom he came to love deeply. As a man, Gabriel was still morose and moody at times, but he was also incredibly tenacious, noble and faithful, having been raised by the Brotherhood to believe in God and put his faith in Him.The roots of evil are deep...irreversibly so in the hearts of men. It is their true nature...their destiny. I was their most devoted warrior...a champion of light...but I fell...fell into darkness...and now...I am feared as the Prince of Darkness. Ironic, don't you think?Dracula's feelings of pain and emptiness became manifest in the Void Sword and Chaos Claws which replaced for him the Light and Shadow magic he had wielded as the Brotherhood's chosen one. Dracul (known to the people as Dracula) hungered for revenge on the Brotherhood and wished to remake the world as he saw fit, in revenge for his betrayal, becoming a cold, cruel, cynical and ruthless being with complete confidence in his abilities.
