The Castlevania animated series is inspired by the Konami series of video games, which began with the 1986 action-platformer Castlevania. Nocturne’s protagonist, Richter Belmont, was introduced in 1993’s Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.

Netflix describes the main synopsis of Castlevania: Nocturne as:

France, 1792 – the height of the French Revolution. In a remote part of western France, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy has forged an alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to ‘eat the sun’ and unleash an army of vampires and nightcreatures to crush the revolution and enslave humanity. Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, seeks out Richter Belmont, last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.
