Isaac played a bigger role in Dracula's plan than anyone else. He was loyal to him and created a massive army of night creatures. He became a fan-favorite in season 3 after he got more screentime and depth. His journey might conclude in season 4, but there are some things that the writers must answer about him before that.

10 He's A Muslim But...

In season 3, it was revealed that Isaac is a Muslim. He admitted that his devotion is questionable due to his actions and the crimes he committed in the past few years. He says that he is doing God's work by calling back souls from Hell. But it's all just in his mind.

Dark magic and the killing of innocents are both prohibited in Islam. Yet, he goes around leaving behind a trail of bodies and converting some of them into demons. No religion justifies violence. Yet he still calls himself a man of faith.

9 How He Became A ForgeMaster

When the series started, all the characters had already reached their prime. Belmont was an expert fighter, fluent in using whips and swords, Sypha could perform fire, water and other kinds of magic and Alucard had also perfected his techniques. It was a show about powerful entities facing off in one on one battles.

Isaac had a bit of backstory build up but the main questions were never answered. His journey of becoming an expert in his art and skilled in combat. Isaac is a battle-hardened mercenary, therefore, he must've gotten his training from a master.

8 What Is His Life's Purpose After Dracula's Death

Dracula's genocide was a divine sentiment for Isaac. He followed him and remained loyal to him to the end. Dracula was impressed by his courage, so he let him free. Now that Dracula's dead and resides in Hell. There is no purpose in Isaac's life. For now, he aims to raise an army to bring the Council of Sisters and Hector. But what will he do after that? A guy like him would probably live in solitude in a distant place, away from all the humans. Or maybe he would continue Dracula's mission.

7 Why He Hates Humans?

Isaac grew up as a slave. God knows what he had to go through. From his personality, it looks like that his whole life was a bitter experience with humans. Isaac has no empathy for them in his heart. He believes that all of them are the same.

His opinion was formed by his personal experience with a few of them. Now, he does not opens up to others or tries to think from their point of view. He considers every person a threat.

6 What Is His Background?

Castlevania focused more on the present Isaac and the mass murder of Dracula's. It was about the heroes putting an end to his madness. So there was not much room to fit the character development or backstory of side characters.

That's why fans never got to knew about Isaac's past. All they know is that he hates humans and is blindly inspired by Dracula. He killed his former master because he used to whip him without any reason. This made him rebellious and cold-hearted.

5 He's Against Everyone

In real life, people prefer to make friends with others. It promotes a healthy community. And making friends is not a hard task. Similarly, making enemies out of every other person is not difficult either. Isaac is not the most friendly person. He ends up killing almost every human he interacts with.

Now Isaac is a single man against the whole world. He wipes out humans everywhere he goes, he wants to kill Hector for his betrayal and finally, he is also enemies with Alucard, Trevor, and Sypha because they killed Dracula. He fits nowhere in this world.

4 His True Powers

Isaac performs necromancy, which allows him to revive dead bodies as night creatures. But that is not all. He knows about magical artifacts and how to use them. Also, he was able to create a huge monster from a single dead body.

Then he broke free from the old man's magic without any assistance. He likely has resistance to magic. Since he has never been pushed to his limits. There must be some hidden cards up his sleeves.

3 Will He Revive Dracula From Hell?

The end of season 3 has left fans scratching their heads and in awe by the amazing action sequence. It explored other aspects of the world. The main one is opening a gate to hell and showing Dracula sitting there with his wife.

It means that Dracula is not truly dead and is still alive somewhere. Maybe it was all part of his plan. Whatever it is, Isaac now has a chance to bring back his fallen master. He has traveled half the world to avenge him. Surely, he would do anything to revive him.

2 His Choice Of Weapons

Isaac chooses a rather bizarre kind of weapon. A whip is not the most effective, it only serves as a torturing tool. Isaac's whip is also very unique. And his use is even more impressive. He was able to kill a band of bandits with his whip and a dagger alone.

Castlevania features a vast range of weapons, from swords to crossbows. He only uses the whip because he has a past with it. What's even more strange is that he whips himself with it.

1 Is He Suicidal

After hearing him talk and presenting his ideology, it is clear that Isaac is fed up with the world. He has lost all hope for the human race. He wants to see everyone die. There could be a deep meaning behind it. The mental health of Isaac can be put into question.

He throws himself in dangerous situations and has no goal for the future. Maybe he's looking for an escape from this world.
