His whole life was spent hunting heretics and heathens in God's name until his love interest, Sara Trantoul, was taken away by the Vampire Lord Walter Bernhard, prompting a quest that would take Leon Belmont into Walter Bernhard's castle and eventually begin the cycle of the of Belmont Legacy as we know today.

Background

 * Age: 22 years old (born in 1072)
 * Species: Human
 * Place of Birth: Transylvania
 * Alignment: Lawful Good
 * Profession: Vampire Hunter

Equipment

 * Vampire Killer: Once known as The Whip of Alchemy created by Rinaldo Gandolfi, even before it was the Vampire Killer, the Whip of Alchemy is stronger then even a dead man's discarded sword. It is a holy weapon of forbidden mysteries that is designed to destroy all who are related to the kindred of the night.
 * Has the power to destroy the Creatures of the Night and vanquish evil due to the fact it's a weapon with Holy/Radiant properties.
 * Base form is a standard leather whip, it's 2nd form being a thorn whip (twice as powerful), 3rd form being a chain whip (four times as powerful), 4th form being a morning star (eight times as powerful) and 5th form retains the morning star (15 times as powerful) with an Elemental property (Fire, Ice and Lightning in the case of Leon Belmont).
 * The Vampire Killer can strike twice per whiplash instantly.
 * Absorbed the soul of Sara Trantoul as she became a "willing sacrifice" after being fatally cursed with vampirism in order to unlock the whip's true potential.
 * Can shoot Fireballs from the tip of the whip (Unfortunately for Leon Belmont, he hasn't been seen doing this).
 * Can be downgraded by the Punaguchi monster but it can't be destroyed (While it can be downgraded as the wielder takes damage, this specifically applies to Christopher Belmont in Castlevania: The Adventure but never in the case with the other Belmonts)
 * Capable of Elemental Damage such as Fire, Ice and Lightning (in Leon Belmont's case, he is shown to use the Vampire Killer with either Fire, Ice or Lightning Elemental Forms at his whim).
 * Can destroy dark magic projectiles as powerful as Death's Giant Skull attacks as seen in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
 * Can even utterly shatter dark-based weapons as powerful as Death's Scythe, which is a divine weapon in it's own right (even through Death can reform his Scythe at will).
 * The Vampire Killer will still deal damage to any Creature of the Night by simply touching it, this is evident as Simon Belmont in Super Castlevania IV has been seen brandishing the whip and letting it rest while enemies near-by if they get near it for any reason, they will take damage from it.
 * If a non-Belmont wields the Vampire Killer at full power for any reason, it will sap away the user's biological life span every time it's used.
