Is Alucard Trevor‘s father?
To provide a clear answer upfront – Alucard is not Trevor Belmont‘s father in the Castlevania games, lore or storyline. While they share a common link in Dracula, Alucard and Trevor are actually half-brothers seeking to take down their vampiric father. But how exactly are these two iconic heroes connected? Let‘s analyze their intricate backstories and lineage across the games to uncover the truth!
Alucard‘s Origin Story and Bloodline
Alucard‘s full name is Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş and he is the dhampir (half-human, half-vampire) son of Vlad "Dracula" Ţepeş and the human woman Lisa. Here‘s a quick timeline of events in his origin story:
- 1431 – Vlad Ţepeş born in Transylvania to Vlad II Dracul
- 1450s – Vlad Ţepeş gains reputation as the "Impaler Prince" for brutal tactics against enemies
- 1462 – Lisa born in Greece to human parents
- 1476 – Lisa moves to Lupu to study medicine and science
- Lisa meets Vlad Ţepeş (now vampire lord Dracula) while travelling in woods
- 1483 – Alucard born from their union, named Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş
- 1493 – Lisa killed by superstitious townspeople, Dracula declares war on humanity
- Adrian takes name "Alucard" and turns against father to fight for humans
So despite being Dracula‘s son, Alucard actively battles against him in defense of humanity due to his mother‘s cruel fate. He acts as a support character across many Castlevania games, lending aid to the vampire hunting Belmont clan.
Trevor‘s Place in the Belmont Bloodline
Trevor Belmont is the prominent vampire hunter from Castlevania III: Dracula‘s Curse in 1456. Here is Trevor‘s heritage and relation to Dracula:
- Born in 1435 to Gabriel and Marie Belmont
- Gabriel Belmont goes on to become the powerful Dracula later on
- This makes Trevor the biological son of Gabriel/Dracula and Marie
- Thus Trevor is half Dracula, half mortal human through his mother Marie
Based on the details above, Trevor and Alucard share the same father in Dracula but have completely different mothers. So Alucard and Trevor are half-brothers through their common paternal heritage to Vlad Dracula Ţepeş!
United Against Dracula
Despite their strained family lineage, Alucard and Trevor are united in their mission to defeat their evil vampiric father Dracula time and again throughout the series including:
Castlevania III: Dracula‘s Curse (NES – 1990)
- Trevor is the protagonist who drives back Dracula‘s forces
- He is aided by companions Grant DaNasty, Sypha Belnades and Alucard
- This is Alucard‘s first debut where he aligns with a Belmont
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PlayStation – 1997)
- Set after Castlevania III storyline during final Dracula battle
- Alucard has central role as playable protagonist
- Trevor is implied to have been defeated and killed sometime prior
Based on their recurring cooperation and shared dedication against their father, it‘s clear Trevor and Alucard maintain a strong symbolic brotherly bond despite their strained blood relation.
