Hermina was a former member and chief researcher of the Elgos Order, an organization whose main objective is to guard Dracula's sealed material possessions, as well as the grimoires that contain the history of all heroes and battles that had been held against him throughout the years. She was the one responsible for the method to enter the grimoires.
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.
