## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Leon Belmont**, was a former noble knight in Europe during late 11th century that would become the founder of the legendary Belmont Clan. He lost both parents when he was young, and was knighted at 16. Leon was also a good friend of Mathias Cronqvist. When his dear lady Sara Trantoul was captured and whisked away by the vampire Walter Bernhard, he entered the castle grounds unarmed, but was given a Whip of Alchemy, a whip that was blessed with the power of alchemy, by the old man known as Rinaldo Gandolfi, who lived on the grounds. Using his whip and magic gauntlet, he entered the castle in hopes to find and rescue his beloved fiancée.

Leon is the earliest named member of the Belmont family, making him the ancestor to all of the later known members of the clan so far. He was the first to use the Vampire Killer and was responsible for swearing his clan to fight evil for eternity. Leon was a nobleman, but was forced to renounce his title to go after Walter and save Sara. Unfortunately would end in failure, as she bitten by him. Only by sacrificing herself to be entwined with the sacred whip could Walter then be stricken down by Leon. This was how the whip, Vampire Killer, acquired its power and using it to slay Walter. Leon would marry to an unknown woman and continue his legacy - and therefore future Belmonts would come from far humbler backgrounds.

### Appearance

He has blond hair and blue eyes and wears very gothic clothing. During his time as a knight, he wore typical knight armor with symbols of the country he served and wields a sword in hand.

### Personality

Despite being a famed knight with the title of Baron, Leon is extremely noble and humble. He gave up his title in order to save his betrothed Sara without a second thought, and requested Rinaldo not to call him "Lord", instead saying that they were equals. It's possible that his politeness comes from the fact that he is an orphan, and that growing up as a knight made him value courage and honor over everything else. Rinaldo even describes some of his actions as being honest to a fault. He strongly cares for Sara and struggled with the idea of having to kill her in order to create the Vampire Killer whip. This, and his later actions of starting the Belmont Clan's vampire hunting destiny, show his immense courage and will to rid the world of Dracula, no matter how long it would take.

### Relationships

#### Mathias Cronqvist

It is unknown what's his relationship with Mathias is like but they seem to be good friends during their times in knighthood but Leon felt extremely betrayed that Mathias abandon his humanity for immortality and that he won't forgive. He swore an oath that he will find Mathias and hunt the eternal night. This oath would later start the tradition of Belmonts to fight the supernatural darkness along with Dracula himself.
