Leon Belmont

Leon Belmont, also known as Leon Belmondo, is one of the main protagonists from the Castlevania series.
== Charactah Account ==
A near-invincible knight active during the medieval era, and along with Mathias Cronqvist, formed an invincible team. He abandoned his position when his betrothed Sara Trantoul was kidnapped (according to Mathias) by the vampire Walter Bernhard. Leon discards his sword and takes up the Whip of Alchemy from Rinaldo Gandolfi, and storms Walter's castle, only to find Sara in process of being vampirized. The only way to save her is to kill her. Leon does the job, changing the Whip of Alchemy into the legendary Vampire Killer.
Leon swears to kill Walter and the night. He almost succeeds, only to see Walter get backstabbed by Death, and Mathias reveal himself as the Magnificent Bastard behind the scenes. Leon refuses Mathias' offer to join him, survives a battle with Death, and swears that his family will always exist to oppose Mathias.

* An early script of the canceled Castlevania film featured a scene where Trevor Belmont and his brother Cristofor uncover a mural that told the tale of Leon's struggle against Mathias.
* When Christopher Belmont is troubled by dreams that seem to be a prelude to Dracula's revival in the American comic series Castlevania: The Belmont Legacy, he seeks solace in his family's cemetery. A great statue of Leon Belmont is the first monument he comes across and later Belmonts appear after him in chronological order.
* In the 2006 Nintendo DS game Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin are able to summon Leon's strength along with four other great Belmonts in the Greatest Five attack, where each legendary hero strikes in succession with the Vampire Killer.
* In the 2007 cell phone game Castlevania: Order of Shadows, Zoe and Dolores Belmont find hidden away in The Order's possession the gauntlet which Rinaldo had enchanted for Leon, which enabled the hero of that game, Desmond Belmont, to be able to use alchemy items. It is later revealed that the Vampire Killer possesses memories of and a connection to the spirits of those who have come in contact with it.
* Leon makes a cameo in a couple of episodes of Season 2 of the Castlevania animated series, where he appears in a portrait at the entrance of the basement of the Belmont Hold. He is stated by Trevor to be the first member of the Belmont family.
