Montano Cyprus

Montano Cyprus is a playable character in Castlevania Fighter. He is based on his appearance and gameplay from Demon Hunter Legend 3 and Demon Hunter Legend 4.

Story
The Cyprus family had governed their kingdom for generations. Under their benevolent rule, the land knew peace and prosperity.

One man, however, was dissatisfied with this state of affairs. Kerst Cyprus wanted more power for himself. After selling his soul to a demon for evil powers, he murdered his brother and took ownership of Cyprus castle, plunging the land into chaos.

Montano, the eldest son of the late Count Cyprus and nephew to Kerst, returned from a trip days later to find his home in shambles, his father killed, and his fiancee Emilia stolen away. With revenge burning in his mind, he took up his sword and began to hunt down his cursed uncle.

In Castlevania Fighter, his story occurs just after the opening of DHL4. After defeating Fulosa, the demon who Kerst sold his soul to, Montano was still unable to find and rescue Emilia. He searched for her for three years, tirelessly fighting evil, but when he finally located her she was under the control of the same evil he had worked so hard to destroy.

It is at this time that he is summoned to Dracula's castle by Aeon. Aeon is able to reach into Montano's realm through the portal mirrors previously created by Emilia to help Montano on his quest. He informs Montano of their situation and the stakes riding on their victory. However, after the trials he has already faced, Montano is possessed of a single-minded goal - the rescue of Emilia. The fate of an unfamiliar dimension is of little concern to him.

His journey through the castle begins as a way to expedite his return to his home. But the fateful encounters in this strange world will remind him of what the Cyprus family stands for, and the dangers of becoming consumed by the desire for revenge.

Character Concept
In Montano's games, he is able to collect a variety of swords, each one being associated with an element and enchanted with a related spell. The sword Montano currently has equipped determines what spell he can use. This system is converted in CVF by allowing him to change swords the same way other characters change sub-weapons.
