Llorens artists T he Belmont clan has been feuding with Dracula and evil since the 11th century when the Dark Prince’s story began. The long-winded battles’ origin began with Leon Belmont, originally. It was re-written in the 21st century (less than 20 years after the original introduction in 1986) to star Gabriel Belmont who has become the manifestation of Leon Belmont, Matthias Cronqvist, and Walter Bernhard (who in that storyline, was absorbed by Matthias). While noting the re-writing of the story, this infographic captures the timeline of the main characters appearances within the Castlevania canon. It also features the names of those who led in the production of the artwork, whether they be artists, designers, or producers alongside the titles that have arisen from the less than 20 year span of the Castlevania franchise. As the timeline of the sequential titles place the characters outside of the natural order of their descendancy, a family tree is also presented inside of this infographic.
