Belmont Clan

General information

Belmont Clan (ベ ル モ ン ト 一族 (Berumonto ichizoku) in Japanese). One of the organization from which Leona Belmont was.

## Basic information

The Belmont clan in Hurricane Chronicles appeared already almost falling apart. There were not only real members of the clan, but also the so-called Fake Belmont. One of these was Angela Belmont.

## History

The clan was previously founded in the 11th century AD, not only as a pioneer in alchemy, but also in the fight against vampires. Later, in 1476, a crusade against Dracula, the king of the vampires, began. And thanks to his initiative, a special whip appeared - the Vampire Killer. However, Dracula could withstand even such a whip and there was no way to kill him completely. But thanks to the actions of the vampires, the clan flourished. All this continued until Dracula, due to a lack of blood and the development of medicine, began to grow malignant. It seemed that the Belmont had finally won, but in 1989 the USSR began an active advance to Europe. And communism touched not only Wallachia, but also Spain. Due to the introduction of the ideology of communism, Alchemy gradually lost its relevance, and the Belmonts were eradicated, since they were considered unfavorable for society. And so that the clan does not completely disappear, the descendants of the clan were given permission to start families not Belmont. And that's why False Belmont appeared, which are not real Belmont. The only real Belmont at the moment are Leona and her sister Lucy.

Due to the fact that the clan almost collapsed, few of the true descendants of the Belmont clan remained in it, and therefore there could even be False Belmont in it. Taking advantage of the situation, Angela became at that time the head of the clan, while not having any abilities for Alchemy. All this continued until the new vampire king, Marx, broke into the clan. The further fate of the clan is still unknown.

## Characteristic

The clan primarily uses Alchemy as their primary weapon. Since this kind of power flourished in Spain, the clan itself appeared in the same country. Even before the USSR, it had its own traditions. In it there was a strict prohibition on the estate of a family not from Belmont. For this there was a punishment, and the children who did not possess Alchemy were sent to experiments. Thanks to this clan, vampire hunters spread throughout Europe, spreading their knowledge, but at the same time observing the same rules.

Of the weapons they preferred whips. They are quite powerful and yet easily used in combat. However, not everyone can master them completely. They could also use swords, knives, spears, and so on. But these weapons have always been enchanted with the help of alchemy, since it was with such weapons that vampires could be killed. But the hardest part was with the ancient vampires, such as Dracul.

They also had a close allied clan, Belnades, who already used magic. Both of these clans have always worked together. However, Belnades suffered the same fate when communism spread throughout Europe. And at the moment, the only true descendant of Belnades is Sophie Belnades, who uses rune magic.

## Trivia

The Belmont and Belnades clans are clans that have been in the Castlevania series.

This is one of those clans that were looking for the Philosopher's Stone.
