We need to give Saint Germaine more love. This man is not only the best character introduced in season three of Castlevania but he also helps carry Trevor and Sypha's storyline by introducing the most interesting world building in the series. Like Saint Germaine just strolls into this small town looking for a magic gem only for him to get embroiled in this church's cult of Dracula (ft the huge ass night creature Isaac brought to the fold off screen). Then when Trevor and Sypha finally turn to him since he's charming enough to get into the church he just drops the existence of interdimensional travel on these two because he's a lonely, wet rat of a man who just needed to vent. And the revelation itself is done in such a jarring way that you're hooked even if it's exposition.

Plus I love the implications of this desperate 1470s man going through the eldritch horrors of comprehending alchemy and interdimensional travel just to save his girlfriend. It adds a whole new level of horror since it shows the audience that huge power houses like Dracula are small and all too human in the grand scheme of things. Not only that Saint Germaine serves as a parallel to Dracula and reinforces the theme of love in Castlevania by showing us how much grief for a loved one can weigh on someone before they break. He's given himself this verifiably impossible goal by scouring the multiverse for his girlfriend and at first it's only a him problem.

And then the night creature and the cult of Dracula actually open a portal to hell. It's horrific. :) Fortunately the night creature is stopped but it was just a warning, a precursor to something worse.

Then season 4 roles around and Saint Germaine finally snaps. Not only does his fall allow him to be even more charismatic but he becomes the linchpin for the entire season. Without him we don't get to see Varney reveal his true colors, we don't get to build upon the cult of personality Dracula accidentally created or tie our characters storylines together. And without Saint Germaine and him bringing true alchemy into the fold we wouldn't get the Rebis. Plain and simple. Even if season 4 was rushed and the Rebis didn't stay long we have Saint Germaine's role in the story to thank for the awesome climax we did get. Unfortunately he'll never get to climax.
