BIOGRAPHY:

Was Born in 1667

up in the 1600s, before the invention
of modern medicine, health care and
sexy nurses.

separate times and not once does
he consider taking a group of

took a wife and had children. Eventually

in his twenties.

He's a Vampire Hunter

blood sucking, impaling and fire is
an occupational hazard. Good
luck getting insurance!

But He Can Stop Time
Who cares if he has to deal with
the occasional biting if Simon can
periodically stop time? What's
more, he knows magic.

Life Expectancy - 39 Years Old (1667 - 1706):
The life of a demon hunting adventure seeker is short, but at least it's an exciting trip. He was 31 in Simon's Quest, which means this Belmont had eight good years to marry and raise a child. But don't feel too bad, 39 isn't far off from the already short life expectancy of the 1600s.
