Simon Belmont (in Castlevania)!

Have you ever wondered how old your favorite video game character will be when they die? Defunct Games puts that question to the test. By studying the lives of gaming's biggest stars, we are able to accurately predict when they'll croak. (Note: All characters start at 79 years old, the national average for life expectancy.)

NAME: Simon Belmont

BORN: Sometime in 1667

GAMOGRAPHY: Vampire Killer (1986), Castlevania (1987), Haunted Castle (1988), Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (1988), Super Castlevania IV (1991), Castlevania Chronicles (1993) and Castlevania Judgment (2009).

BIOGRAPHY: Being born a Belmont comes with some responsibilities. While everybody else grows up living a normal life, a Belmont must be ready to battle the undead at a moment's notice. Simon went teeth-to-fang against Dracula on two separate occasions. His stories are still being retold today.

Was Born in 1667

Simon Belmont had misfortune of growing up in the 1600s, before the invention of modern medicine, health care and sexy nurses.

Adjustment: +3

He's Well-Trained

Not only is Simon an expert with a whip, but he also knows how to handle knives, axes, holy water and much, much more.

Adjustment: +2

Poor Decision Making Skills

Simon decides to take on Dracula two separate times and not once does he consider taking a group of warriors with him? Stupid!

Adjustment: -3

Adventure Seeker

This type of personality is prone to take risks. Between getting into fights and traversing tough terrain, Simon suffered major injuries.

Adjustment: -5

A Family Man

After battling Dracula two times, Simon took a wife and had children. Eventually he passed down his whip to his grandson, Juste.

Adjustment: +4

Managed Temper

Simon never once raises his voice or becomes enraged when every single person in Castlevania II lies to him. Talk about restraint!

Adjustment: +2

Questionable Diet

Simon was known to literally tear about castle walls in search for food. This suggests Simon didn't eat well in his twenties.

Adjustment: -3

He's a Vampire Hunter

You know you have a crummy job when 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.

Adjustment: +5

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.
