Judge Belmont

Richter Belmont (リヒター・ベルモンド, Rihitā Berumondo?, Richter Belmondo) is a character and the main protagonist of the Netflix original animated series Castlevania: Nocturne . He is a young, powerful, and cunning descendant of the Belmont bloodline of vampire hunters and current owner of the Whip . After his mother was killed by a vampire in front of his eyes when he was a child, he grew up to become one of the most powerful warriors of his family line. He lives with Tera and her daughter Maria Renard in a small cabin in the hills of Machecoul, France. Both he and Maria, a skilled young witch, fight against the growing number of vampires that have begun appearing on the land, as well as to bring justice and equality to its inhabitants.

Richter has short brown hair, blue eyes, and a slightly tanner skin tone than his mother. He wears a blue vest with a white interior and a silver Belmont crest on the back. He wears leather arm guards on his arms and hands, white pants and a wide belt that covers much of his belly, and military boots. At one point, he began wearing a white bandana given to him by a peasant revolutionary.

Richter is a confident, brave, and heroic young man with a youthful courage. Despite his carefree exterior, he is also marked by deep personal struggles. His carefree attitude hides the scars of a painful childhood marked by the traumatic loss of his mother. This tragedy still haunts him well into his early adulthood, often causing him to doubt himself and the worth of his actions. Richter admits that he struggles with strategy and decision-making despite his formidable abilities and that he often relies more on instinct than careful planning.

Despite this, deep down, Richter remains true to his values: selfless, compassionate, and determined to protect the innocent from vampires. The loss of his mother is what ultimately fuels his drive to protect others from the same fate. Though he can be sensitive and emotionally vulnerable, he shows pride in carrying the Belmont name, never hesitating to throw himself into danger when his heart demands it. This is evident in his fearless willingness to stand up to Erzsebet Báthory to protect Maria, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Magic: As a descendant of Sypha Belnades, Richter is an immensely powerful mage with the ability to control the elements. After the trauma of his mother's death, Richter lost this ability; however, after a conversation with his grandfather, Juste, he finally came to terms with his trauma and reawakened the full potential of his magic. His eyes glow an electric blue when he uses his magic or feels intense emotions.
Pyrokinesis - Richter was only known for shooting normal colored flames from his fingers as a child. However, after awakening his full magical potential as an adult, Richter is now able to use the more powerful blue flames. The most notable trait of Richter's magical flames is that they are much more intense and stronger than the red, orange, and yellow flames normally used by Speakers. His rage empowers his flames, so the higher his rage, the hotter his flames are. Richter can almost instantly burn anything he touches as he often uses an open hand or flames to increase the power of his punches and jab strikes, as well as enhance his physical capabilities such as his speed and strength by imbuing his whip and knives with fire, or igniting his arm and then swinging it at the target to release streams of fire that surround the enemy in a whirlwind of flames. His flames were hot enough to burn an entire group of vampires to ashes in a matter of seconds. Over time, she learned to produce greater amounts of flame than her ancestor without tiring, able to maintain successive assaults for longer periods of time.
Cryokinesis: After regaining his cryokinetic powers, Richter became more powerful than ever, being able to manipulate temperatures of absolute zero. Richter can use ice to protect himself during battles. Richter can enhance his fists to cause greater damage with ice and also uses it
