A great and powerful whip wielded by the ancestors of the Belmont clan, starting with
Leon, to defeat Dracula a.k.a. Matthais Cronqvist. The whip was given to
Leon Belmont by Rinaldo Gandalfi in its original form of the Whip of Alchemy. It became the Vampire Killer after a ritual where
Leon'
s betrothed (fiancee) Sarah Trantoul willingly sacrificed herself to give the whip more... err... vampire killing power.
The whip was used to kill Dracula (repeatedly), succubi, vampires (duh!), a whole
lot of other nasties and Death itself.
