Frederick Belmont

According to the Bloodlines Electronic Gaming Monthly fax, Frederick Belmont was a descendant of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades. He could be as closely related to them as their son or possibly up to seven generations removed, living anywhere from the 15th through 17th centuries. He may have been a sibling or cousin to Ann Belmont (who married into the Morris Clan), Mary Belmont (who married into the Helsing Clan), as well as Christopher Belmont. He married Janis. He is perhaps most notable for being the ancestor of Simon Belmont, being as closely related to him as a father or up to seven generations removed.

==Trivia==
*Frederick may have inherited the Death Mercury whip from Trevor and passed it down to his descendants Simon and Richter.
*Frederick may have appeared in the EGM fax family tree as a way to trace the branch of the Belmont family that held the Death Mercury, while Christopher's branch held the Excalibur. With the modern canon combining both whips with the Vampire Killer, there may be no need for separate branches on the Belmont family tree and thus no need for Frederick to exist in current canon, or he could be placed elsewhere on the tree. 
**See Belmont Family Tree for a solution that merges the two branches by making Frederick an ancestor of Christopher and otherwise preserving his relationship to the rest of the family.
**Frederick's position on the tree and the two branches could still be reconciled with current canon, which states that Simon is Christopher's great-grandson, by making Simon descended from Christopher through a daughter or granddaughter. Because Soleil proved himself susceptible to Dracula's influence, the Vampire Killer whip may have not chosen him as its next owner upon Christopher's death, and instead chosen Simon or one of his parents or grandparents or even Frederick himself.
