	Games - Walter Bernhard

Walter Bernhard (ヴァルター・ベルンハルト) is a vampire character appearing in the video game Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (part of the long-running Castlevania
series). He is the antagonist of the game, luring the protagonist Baron Leon Belmont to his castle by kidnapping his fiancee, Sara Trantoul. The forest where he lives is called Eternal Night, as it is covered in unending darkness thanks to a jewel created through alchemy, the Ebony Stone.

This description is given on the official Japanese Konami
website:
"The vampire who controls the forest called Eternal Night. His origin and his age are not clear. To distract himself from the boredom of eternal life, he enjoys playing life and death games with brave humans, to raise the stakes of the game, in order to make the human be interested, he steals that which is most precious from his target."

Another description from an official guidebook:
"Walter is a dark king who rules over Eternal Night. Even among the vampire clan, he is the strongest. He cannot even be scratched by inferior weapons."

Walter was manipulated by Mathias Cronqvist into stealing Leon's beloved. Mathias hoped to use the companion to the Ebony Stone, the Crimson Stone, to capture Walter's soul when he died. He was well aware of his friend Leon's skills and used him as a tool to defeat Walter and obtain his soul.

Other information

Walter's Japanese voice actor is Kishino Yukimasa (岸野幸正). His English voice actor is Jamieson Price.

Many of Walter's attacks are similar to Dracula's, most notably the famous triple fireball "hellfire" attack, as Mathias/Dracula inherited Walter's powers upon stealing his soul. When using his most powerful attack, Walter transforms into a demonic bat that strongly resembles the "final" or "demon" form of Dracula that appears in several games.

Though Walter is an ageless vampire, his estimated physical age is 42.
