At first I thought it must have been in his mind but upon examining the whip I discovered its magical aura had changed. However, since Shaft’s plot, Richter has been unable to wield the weapon effectively. Its power is so overwhelming that normally only a member of the Belmont clan can wield it at all, as the whip is bound to the bloodline. The whip is an ancient weapon that only grows stronger the longer it is used against the creatures of the night. One piece of evidence does support his delusions-The Vampire Killer whip that has been passed down in the Belmont family. Maria and I have tried to assure him that ultimately the dark priest was responsible, but Richter will hear none of it. He believes his naivety and weakness of will is responsible for Shaft being able to control him. Richter especially has become disheartened after the ordeal. It was no easy victory though and it has scarred Richter, his friend Maria Renard, and myself. I was able to stop the plot, rescue Richter, and destroy my father once more. He was used by an evil sorcerer priest named Shaft in an attempt to resurrect my father and kill off the Belmont bloodline. When I arrived there I was unknowingly added to a symphony of chaos and manipulations that centered on Richter Belmont. Though I did not know how the world had changed during my slumber, I was drawn to the site of Castlevania. My half-vampire origin grants me a window into this stream of magic. Mortals can not sense this energy as easily as creatures of the night. It was a wave of evil that overwhelmed the balance of magic that flows through the world. A few years after the modern descendant of my old ally Trevor Belmont, Richter Belmont, defeated my resurrected father, I was awoken by a sense of increased chaos. Returning to the world of man was something I have only done out of necessity. I only recently learned how long his presence has lasted. He has terrorized the people of Wallachia for centuries.

He is the Lord of Darkness, Count Dracula of the great castle known as Castlevania. My name is Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes, or it was some three centuries before, but I now call myself Alucard. If you live as long as I have, tragedy almost becomes commonplace. Tragedy strikes us all at some point in our lives.
