Game role and abilities

Human hunter introduced in Rondo of Blood (1993), set in 1792; also central to Symphony's 1797 setup. He uses the Vampire Killer, sub-weapons and Item Crash attacks in the games.

Continuity and adaptation

Nocturne: Edward Bluemel voices Richter, a young hunter during the French Revolution. The show changes relationships and events; it is not a retelling of every Rondo scene.

Age and its source

Rondo's Japanese booklet, page 12, gives Richter as 19; Symphony's Japanese booklet, page 6, gives him as 24. These are game-specific ages, not evidence that animated Richter has the same age in every season.
Original Japanese manual scan, hosted by Mr. P's Castlevania Realm; Symphony pages 5-6. The booklet is primary text hosted by a third party.

Are Richter and Maria a couple in Rondo?

Rondo presents Annette as Richter's girlfriend. Maria is a young huntress whom he rescues; the Japanese Symphony manual describes her as a distant Belmont relative, not his romantic partner.
