Belmont Family Tree (Castlevania)
For nine centuries of the Castlevania timeline, a member of the Belmont clan has risen with the Vampire Killer whip to face Dracula. This Belmont family tree follows the line from Leon Belmont in 1094 to Julius Belmont in 1999, including Trevor and Sypha, Christopher and his son Soleil, Simon, Juste and Richter, and shows where the games leave generations unnamed. It also notes what the Netflix series Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne add.

The Belmont family tree chart
The chart reads from Leon Belmont at the top to Julius at the bottom, with the year of each hero’s game. Where Konami’s timeline says one Belmont descends from another without naming the generations in between, the chart shows a single “unrecorded generations” box instead of inventing names. Dracula, Lisa and Alucard are drawn separately on the right.
How to read the lines
- A short line between two people joins a couple; a dashed couple line means the marriage or relationship ended.
- A line going down from a couple (or one parent) to a horizontal bar leads to their children, who sit side by side on the row below.
- A dashed parent line with a small label marks an adoptive, step or guardian parent rather than a birth parent.
- Long lines across the chart join people who married into another branch. Click either person to see the connection highlighted.

Leon Belmont: where the clan begins
In Konami’s official timeline the Belmont story begins in 1094 with Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. The knight Leon Belmont gives up his title to rescue his betrothed, Sara, from a vampire. The Vampire Killer whip is forged in that game, and Leon’s friend Mathias Cronqvist becomes the vampire who will be known as Dracula. From then on the Belmonts are bound to hunt him whenever he returns, roughly once a century.
Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades
In 1476, in Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, Trevor Belmont is called back from exile to stop Dracula’s war on humanity. He is joined by Sypha Belnades, a sorceress; Grant Danasty, a pirate; and Alucard, Dracula’s own son. Trevor and Sypha later marry, so every Belmont after them also carries Belnades blood, which is why Juste Belmont can use magic.
The Netflix series Castlevania (2017–2021) retells this story. At its end Trevor and Sypha are expecting a child, the Netflix equivalent of the line continuing.
Christopher, Simon and Juste
Christopher Belmont defeats Dracula in 1576 (Castlevania: The Adventure) and again in 1591, when Dracula possesses his son Soleil (Belmont’s Revenge). Simon Belmont, hero of the original 1986 Castlevania and of Simon’s Quest, is the best-known Belmont of all; he fights in 1691 and 1698. The games name Juste Belmont, the hero of Harmony of Dissonance in 1748, as Simon’s grandson, but not Juste’s parents, so the chart leaves that generation unnamed.
Richter Belmont, Annette and Maria
In Rondo of Blood (1792) Richter Belmont storms Dracula’s castle to rescue Annette, the woman he loves, and her younger sister Maria Renard. Richter later marries Annette. In Symphony of the Night (1797) Richter is possessed by the dark priest Shaft, and Alucard and Maria have to free him. The Netflix series Castlevania: Nocturne gives Richter a mother, Julia Belmont, and makes Juste his grandfather, which fits the games’ timeline.
Julius Belmont and the end of the line
In 1999, Julius Belmont seals Dracula away permanently, an event mentioned in Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow, set in 2035 and 2036, where Julius appears with amnesia. The games give no Belmonts between Richter and Julius, so the family tree has one long unrecorded gap. Gaps like this are normal in real genealogy as well; our guide to finding your ancestors explains how researchers record what is known without guessing the rest.
Is Alucard a Belmont?
No. Alucard, born Adrian Țepeș, is the son of Dracula and his human wife Lisa, which makes him half vampire. He is not related to the Belmonts by blood, but he fights beside Trevor in 1476, Richter in 1797 and, as Genya Arikado, beside the heroes of 2035. The chart draws Dracula’s family as a separate group for that reason.
