Olrox is the most interesting character in the whole cast of Castlevania Nocturne (at least until we see what Alucard will do in season two).
His understanding of human nature and the fact that he doesn’t want to attack ‘peasants’ but rather prefers ‘drink blue blood’ leaves me alone with the thought that he is hundreds of years ahead of his time. Many people think that us latinoamericanos didn’t have any type of resistance, but trust me when I say, that’s far from the truth; Olrox is the best way of putting it, he understands the thinking of colonialists and also understands the importance of being silent and letting the other speak, he doesn’t show his cards until the counterpart is vulnerable, he does the same that Native American revolutions did back then.
AND I LOVE HIM FOR THAT.

I finally got around to watching Castlevania Nocturne and-
Why no one told me there's an indigenous vampire??? I just learned about Aztec culture some months ago?? Like now I want to know everything about him
Olrox should get to spit on the face of a colonizer, me thinks (I'm only on episode 3)

Vampirism means devouring part of one’s humanity. For those who willingly choose vampirism, it takes both courage and insanity.
Olrox strikes me as the type who chose to become a vampire instead of being turned against his will like some others, so he’s been embracing the ‘dark gifts’ and living his life (or un-life) to the fullest: dressing in fashionable attire, taking care of his appearance, sleeping with men he fancies, etc. That is the idea behind this commission done by the talented artist Linhchocobo (Twitter).

Anyone else think that Olrox could be immune/resistant to the sun?
I mean, we obviously get no proof of this but like...
That scene in the garden with Mizrak is in broad daylight. And ofc we see Olrox keep to the shadows during the whole fight, but like... Are we to assume he was lurking in the shadows since dawn? How did he reach the garden to begin with?? Also: ballsy as FUCK to get into a physical fight outside in the middle of the day if one wrong step could burn him to a crisp?? Especially when he's shown to be pretty careful/unwilling to put himself at risk
In the scene where he's talking to Drolta by the graveyard, they're talking about how they can sense when dawn is coming and he says [speaking of which] "shouldn't you be heading back?" When idk... I feel like it would be more natural to say "we should head back/wrap this up" Yes, yes, he could just be saying this because he's staying at the inn on the other side and doesn't have much distance to travel but.. what if that's just a red herring?
Like LOOK I know Drolta says, "imagine total freedom, never shrinking back from the light" and he says "I don't like to waste time imagining what can never be" BUT given his backstory, it's possible he was commenting on the "total freedom" bit and letting the sunlight thing just kinda lie? We know he reveals very little of himself/his motives, and "hey I'm a vampire who can be in the sun" is quite the ace to have up your sleeve around a bunch of vampires on a mission to destroy the sun
IDK I'm JUST SAYING he's Aztec and the sun is so central to the Aztec mythos. If he draws his power from Quetzalcoatl, it would make sense for that power to include some kind of connection to the sun because Quetzalcoatl was literally one of the Five Suns

Olrox is literally, like, the perfect man. He's holy and divine in every sense of the word.
(I know he killed the mom of a ten year old right in front of him or whatever, but we all make small mistakes.)

As a LatinAmerican student let me tell you something about Olrox, I love him and everything he represents.
Did he killed Julia Belmont? Yes, and she had it coming , let me explain; You don’t go out on a literal civil war without context on what’s going —on and who’s attacking who and most importantly why— take the side that looks like you, just to essentially killed the last hope of protection the other side has —Let’s remember that Belmont knew about the tale of vampires that could be friendly or neutral at worst /aka Alucard/ she could have spoken to the natives or the slaves to know why this was happening, but she didn’t /I doubt she did at least/— then make unfair decisions about who is evil and deserves to die.
(She might have KNOWN what was going on, since –in my understanding– she was living there for A GOOD WHILE, so she either didn’t care or was oblivious enough to pass it out.)
Olrox is literally the best thing to ever happen to me in so long, the lore behind him and the profound sense of cultural connection I feel with him is something I haven’t felt in a long time, I can feel his rage and his intense feeling of disgust at the idea of colonialism.
As a kid most of us were always told that colonialism was good for us, that we were savages before and now “we’re better bc we have technology”, but guess what, we had our technology back then, we had a way of living and a good thing going on. Was it perfect? No. But it was way better that the hell that was forced into us, the sickness and the cultural hatred that influenced us into submitting our culture and beliefs, THAT WASN’T A GOOD THING.
Olrox has every right and reason to do what he does. Fight me in the comments about it.

Because I'm currently obsessed with this man, I made him in Baldur's gate. I used drow for the race, sorcerer for the class, dragon ancestry

Ink illustration commissions for various clients! These were a lot of fun to work on, and they're always an opportunity to draw things outside of what I'm used to!
