I guess I saw the "human" Dracula as something more to a Batman level of genius. Some people have interpreted that the "mark" on him was that which makes him technically "immortal" from anyone ever harming him. It's all on how you choose to interpret the scripture in The Bible! I am excited to see any other references that they may have.Īh yeah, it has been a long time since I played LoI Canopus. Others say that he set up a society for murderers and that his great grand son was the one who killed him. Some studies say that he had remorse for his actions, and that his people became lights of the world. Yeah, the whole Cain thing is oddly vague as to what happened to him. or a fated backer battle with Lord Igarashi, who will give us a new reason to do battle. It appears that a fated encounter with a powerful vampire will need to wait until another day. Further, she shares the name of Dracula's wife in the film. While Elisabetha Cronqvist does not commit suicide, she does pass away while Mathias is away 'fighting in God's name' (It has been proposed that this was during the First Crusade, however this is not possible as according to game canon Elisabetha died in 1093, one year before the events of the game - Pope Urban did not call the First Crusade until the 27th of November, 1095). Ironically, this was also based closely on Bram Stoker's Dracula, as the reasons for Mathias's fall and metamorphosis seem to be strongly inspired by Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula film of 1992, based on Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula".īoth Mathias and Coppola's Dracula renounce God and seek and obtain immortality out of anger at the death of their wives. He's a man wielding the powers of one via alchemy and sorcery. So Castlevania's Dracula isn't even a true vampire. As time went on, Mathias renamed himself Dracula, taken from the Romanian word "Dracul" meaning dragon and devil." He manipulated Leon, Rinaldo, Sara, even Walter and his monsters, in order to obtain a vampire's soul with the Crimson Stone, and he was reborn with it. In deep mourning, Mathias devised a plan to take revenge on God for stealing Elisabetha by becoming a vampire and living eternally. In fact, Mathias had deceived Leon and was not likely really bedridden. Because Mathias's family had books recording secret arts transmitted orally concerning alchemy, a science that experiments with the arcane, Mathias himself had a detailed knowledge of alchemy. In the world of knights who lacked education, he was a genius tactician who was even called Cronqvist the Wise. "Mathias Cronqvist was Leon Belmont's good friend. He's better known as Lord Dracula, in Castlevania.Īt the risk of repeating myself from elsewhere, I'll just copy paste what I posted as part of another long-winded post on the board here. A powerful human with cunning, knowledge of alchemy, and an excellent deceiver who manipulated the world into believing he was a victim only to play the role of a powerful dark lord, later on. You've just described Matthias Cronqvist.
