Elizabeth Bartley (エリザベート･バートリー, Erizabēto Bātorī?, Erzsébet Báthory), also known as Elizabeth Bathory is a character and boss in Castlevania: Bloodlines. She is the vampiress niece of Count Dracula and one of the main antagonists in the game. Elizabeth Bartley was executed in 1614, but resurrected 300 years later to seek revenge upon mankind. Her first recorded action was to start World War I by assassinating the Crown Prince of Austria in June, 1914. She planned to bring about the revival of Dracula by gathering the souls of the dead from the war. Between 1914 and 1917, Bartley transformed Eric Lecarde's girlfriend into a vampire, prompting the young hunter to seek revenge on her.
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.
