Count Belacqua was the alleged father of Lyra Belacqua, prior to her discovery of her true parents (Lord Asriel and Marisa Coulter). Lyra was told that Count Belacqua was her uncle Asriel's brother, and that the Count and his wife had died in an airship accident from which Lyra survived as an orphan.[1] The existence of the Count and Countess were likely a fabrication on Asriel's part to avoid taking responsibility for his daughter.[2]
