Character's History
But Desmond and his magically inclined sisters are heroes all the same, and it was apparent that fate had come calling their names when a group labeling itself "The Order" emerged and was threatening to resurrect Count Dracula. The wicked group's leader, Rohan Krause, was also of considerable power and had a long, violent history with the Belmonts, especially Desmond's deceased parents. While his sisters investigated the scene, Desmond infiltrated The Order's mansion, Castlevania, and silenced the beckoning darkness, doing so of his iron will and not motivated by the newfound knowledge that Krause was actually responsible for his parents' death. Desmond struck down the vile cult leader, whose very blood served as the vessel for Dracula's return, much to the hero's dismay. Regardless, the determined Desmond marched forward into the Castle Keep and destroyed the Dark Lord as the Belmonts always had. |
Appearances
Desmond Belmont is the star of Castlevania: Order of Shadows, the series' first original title for mobile phones. Despite all of the hubbub about Order of Shadows and its place in the lineage, the game's slant toward a more classic style of gameplay gives way to a hero whose methods are more controlled. Beginning with only a leather whip (the weakest form of the Vampire Killer) and basic jump-and-whip abilities, Desmond will eventually earn two whip upgrades, starting with a Flame Whip and then a magical potency boost; a bevy of sub-weapons, old and new; new skills, like the backdash, slide and double jump; and the power of alchemy via a bracelet that allows him to chant spells.
