Alucard: The Reluctant Vampire Hero

Let's turn now to Castlevania's main character, Alucard. As the story opens, Alucard is a reluctant vampire hero and unwilling participant in the quest to defeat Dracula. He has power from a cursed bloodline—his father is Lord Dracula, making him a half-breed of sorts—as well as an inventory of items and weapons to help him on his way.

Alucard has access to mystical weapons (like swords, axes and whips) that pack real punch; he can also use magical spells like Fireball or Hellfire. In addition to these traditional Castlevania items, Alucard can also transform into a bat or wolf—making it easier for him to navigate Castle Dracula's treacherous halls.

When fighting enemies, Alucard can use classic moves like double jumps or sliding kicks; if he survives long enough, he'll gain experience points which will increase his level—giving him access to new abilities and weapons. All of these elements work together in Symphony of the Night to create an unforgettable story of heroism and dark power.
