Claudia is a mute girl who lives in the ruins of Agharta, the destroyed capital of a once-great civilization in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The race that created the city lived very long lives, often over many centuries, and Claudia shares this trait. Having endured innumerable years in the dust and decay, she has developed telepathic powers by communicating with her loyal guardian, the Black Knight Golem. This is an ancient form of communication favored by her ancestors. The strong bond she has developed with her armored protector has saved them both on many occasions. Claudia is brave and carefree, unafraid to confront danger. Yet deep within is a sadness that will never leave her, the loss of her beloved father. She helps Gabriel on his quest and is accompanied by the Black Knight, a guardian constructed by her father, to protect her. She is revealed to be an orphan and possibly the last of the Aghartians, she has blonde hair and hunts for creatures to keep the Black Knight powered often searching for Dark Crystals as she proceeds.
Castlevania
Castlevania: Hymn of Blood is an interpretation of a possible backstory for Simon Belmont, the protagonist of the Castlevania video games. It should come as a relief to old-school gamers that the serialized story seems to focus more on references and lore from the three NES games, rather than anything from the more recent (and terrible) games.
