His first appearance in the series was in the 1989 game <a href="/wiki/Castlevania_III:_Dracula%27s_Curse" title="Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse">Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse</a>, but he is best known for his role in the critically acclaimed <a href="/wiki/Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night" title="Castlevania: Symphony of the Night">Castlevania: Symphony of the Night</a>, released in 1997. His design in Symphony of the Night was created by <a href="/wiki/Ayami_Kojima" title="Ayami Kojima">Ayami Kojima</a>, marking her first contribution to the Castlevania franchise. In the series, Alucard is the son of <a href="/wiki/Dracula_(Castlevania)" title="Dracula (Castlevania)">Dracula</a>, the antagonist of the Castlevania series. Due to his human mother, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Castlevania_characters#Lisa" title="List of Castlevania characters">Lisa</a>, Alucard is a <a href="/wiki/Dhampir" title="Dhampir">dhampir</a>, a half-human, half-vampire. His mother's death and admonition not to hate humanity caused him to take up arms against his father. In Dracula's Curse and <a href="/wiki/Castlevania_Legends" title="Castlevania Legends">Castlevania Legends</a>, he fights against his father alongside the vampire hunters of the <a href="/wiki/List_of_Castlevania_characters" title="List of Castlevania characters">Belmont clan</a>, and he is featured as the protagonist of Symphony of the Night. Alucard additionally is present in <a href="/wiki/Castlevania:_Aria_of_Sorrow" title="Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow">Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow</a> and the follow-up sequel <a href="/wiki/Castlevania:_Dawn_of_Sorrow" title="Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow">Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow</a>, where he interacts with the protagonist of both games, <a href="/wiki/Soma_Cruz" class="mw-redirect" title="Soma Cruz">Soma Cruz</a>, as the Japanese government agent Genya Arikado (有角幻也, Arikado Gen'ya). The Lords of Shadow reboot series, starting with the character's introduction in <a href="/wiki/Castlevania:_Lords_of_Shadow_%E2%80%93_Mirror_of_Fate" title="Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate">Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate</a>, introduces a reimagined Alucard with a new backstory, revealing him as Trevor Belmont, once a mortal who was transformed into a vampire after his death at the hands of his biological father, the remorseful Dracula. Several <a href="/wiki/Video_game_journalism" title="Video game journalism">video game publications</a> have provided praise and criticism on Alucard's character. While Alucard debuted in Dracula's Curse, his characterization stood out more in Symphony of the Night for being a different type of protagonist from his predecessors. In Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow, where Alucard was present as Genya Arikado, reviewers noted that although he fell into a stereotypical character mold, the greater concentration on supporting characters was a welcomed change from previous Castlevania games. Alucard's portrayal in the Lords of Shadow and Netflix series also led to positive response by the media. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Conception_and_development">Conception and development</h2></div> Alucard was intended to be a mirror image of his father, as evidenced by his name, his father's name spelled backwards.<a href="#cite_note-IGNRetrospectiveP2-1">[1]</a> The original Castlevania games for the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System" title="Nintendo Entertainment System">Nintendo Entertainment System</a> (NES) contained references to the <a href="/wiki/Universal_Horror" class="mw-redirect" title="Universal Horror">Universal Horror</a> films, with Alucard being a tribute to <a href="/wiki/Lon_Chaney_Jr." title="Lon Chaney Jr.">Lon Chaney Jr.</a>'s role as Count Alucard from the 1943 film, <a href="/wiki/Son_of_Dracula_(1943_film)" title="Son of Dracula (1943 film)">Son Of Dracula</a>.<a href="#cite_note-origin-6">[6]</a> The idea of using Alucard as a protagonist in Symphony of the Night came from Konami's idea for a character whose abilities could grow and change, and also a character who could transform into other things. Given those two points, and the need to connect the protagonist to the history of Castlevania, they chose Alucard. The original design was not found appealing by the staff, and they redesigned him. While the game does not explain it, Alucard can use holy weapons thanks to his human heritage.<a href="#cite_note-shmu-7">[7]</a> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:10.5.17KojiIgarashiPortraitByLuigiNovi1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/10.5.17KojiIgarashiPortraitByLuigiNovi1.jpg/200px-10.5.17KojiIgarashiPortraitByLuigiNovi1.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="237" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/10.5.17KojiIgarashiPortraitByLuigiNovi1.jpg/300px-10.5.17KojiIgarashiPortraitByLuigiNovi1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/10.5.17KojiIgarashiPortraitByLuigiNovi1.jpg/400px-10.5.17KojiIgarashiPortraitByLuigiNovi1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2322" data-file-height="2756" /></a><figcaption>Game designer Koji Igarashi oversaw several changes for Alucard for his role in Symphony of the Night onwards.</figcaption></figure> The ending of Symphony of the Night where Maria chases after Alucard was left to the player's interpretation. Though the idea about a romantic interaction was planned, the team did not want Alucard to turn Maria into another vampire. Another idea Igarashi had was that Alucard defeated Dracula in the original plotline by Bram Stoker, instead of Quincy Morris.<a href="#cite_note-shmu-7">[7]</a> Despite pressure for the change of protagonist, Alucard was highly popular to the fanbase with the staff members thinking it was due to him being cool.<a href="#cite_note-Retrogamer-8">[8]</a> When it came to the reboot <a href="/wiki/Castlevania:_Lords_of_Shadow" title="Castlevania: Lords of Shadow">Castlevania: Lords of Shadow</a>, Mercury Steam told the audience the spin-off Mirror of Fate would include Trevor Belmont and Alucard as different playable characters, before later revealing them to be the same character but transformed.

One of those factors was Alucard's ambidextrous talents, or lack thereof. In the original animation for the show's fourth and final episode of its first season, animation director Spencer Wan had drawn Alucard holding a sword in his left hand. It was only after revisiting notes from Konami that Wan remembered the video game publisher had reminded the art team at Powerhouse Animation that Alucard had to be drawn as right-handed. This led to several changes in the making of the series in order to make Netflix's Alucard fit Konami's ideas.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> The first encounter between Alucard and Trevor was one of the most challenging fights to animate but the staff found that Alucard being shirtless made it easier.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Despite the narrative focusing too much on tragedy, the staff made sure to give Alucard and Trevor Belmont a friendly relationship that often comes across as childish to balance the tone.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> For the fourth season, the team promised the emotionally destroyed Alucard would recover his humanity in this new arc.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> The writers always planned to bring back Alucard for Nocturne even if he only appeared in the last scene from its first season. They wanted to make it a surprise return as well as make it as beautiful as possible.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> In retrospective, Producer Adi Shankar said that Symphony of the Night stood out for deviating from the franchise's common narrative elements of the Belmont clan and instead focused on Alucard who is too different from previous protagonists. He further compared the story with how different the <a href="/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe" title="Marvel Cinematic Universe">Marvel Universe</a> films are as they go from <a href="/wiki/Captain_America:_The_First_Avenger" title="Captain America: The First Avenger">Captain America: The First Avenger</a> (2011) to <a href="/wiki/Captain_America:_Civil_War" title="Captain America: Civil War">Captain America: Civil War</a> (2016).<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> This version of Alucard was later confirmed as bisexual on Twitter by Sam Deats, one of the series directors.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Alucard also appears in <a href="/wiki/Castlevania:_Nocturne" title="Castlevania: Nocturne">Castlevania: Nocturne</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Design">Design</h3></div> Alucard debuted in <a href="/wiki/Castlevania_III:_Dracula%27s_Curse" title="Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse">Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse</a> for the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System" title="Nintendo Entertainment System">Nintendo Entertainment System</a>, where he was designed by T.
