Eric Lecarde

==Summary==
Eric Lecarde is a vampire hunter and one of the main protagonists in Castlevania Bloodlines. He's a part of the Lecarde Clan, who was gifted a spear by Alucard. Due to his status of wielding the spear, he gained some overconfidence and considered others to not be on his level of importance, even the Belmonts themselves. One day, his wife was turned into a vampire by Elizabeth Bartley. After the tragedy, he aided his friend John Morris to unlocking the powers of the Vampire Killer and slayed Dracula and Elizabeth, but at the cost of John's life.
Many years later, he went to investigate Dracula's castle, which materialized out of nowhere, only for him to be wounded by Brauner in a sneak attack. His daughters tried to come to his aid, only to turn into vampires by Brauner himself, and Eric locked his spirit within the castle in order to find a way to save his daughters from Brauner. Once Jonathan and Charlotte arrived, he agreed to aid the two hunters on their quest to stop Brauner from taking over the world.
