Richter Belmont is the main protagonist of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
Bio[edit | edit source]
As his name implies, Richter is part of the Belmont clan - an entire bloodline of mortals who aim to turn bloodsuckers in general and Dracula in particular into their personal whipping boys. The latter term actually might be a bit of a bad example, as Richter's whip truthfully is more of a flail with an abnormally long chain attached to its head. It does the job just fine, though.
Richter's tale starts after the Dracula got resurrected (... again) and abducted a couple of people; including Maria Renard and Richter girlfriend, Annette. To underline this was not just some administrative oversight, he also sicced his old pal Death after Richter himself. To the immense surprise of everyone involved, Richter promptly stormed the counts castle and proceeded to turn it upside-down.
What Richter did not know was that Dracula (and his necromancer buddy Shaft) had fully planned for Dracula to get killed by Richter. Because a hunter is nothing without his prey. Or mostly because Richter has such a raging hate-boner for Dracula that he ended up resurrecting him in the hopes he would get to kill him again. In all honesty, someone give those two a marriage counselor.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Richter Belmont fought in 8chanmania LIX. His first battle against a proverbial Bloodsucker with a KO (delivered at extreme prejudice), and he delivered a very convincing second round against Yoshi. All that fighting apparently left Richter tired however, and for all of his efforts, he still was forcibly put to sleep by the Pillowdin.
