Konami's Castlevania series made its debut in 1986 with the Japanese game Akumajo Dracula (Demon Castle Dracula, but known as Vampire Killer in Europe), which would soon become known as Castlevania in North America. The plot behind the series was at first rather simple: a descendant of the Belmont clan of vampire hunters would take a legendary whip (known as the Vampire Killer) and seek out the "Prince of Darkness" (Dracula), whose influence threatens all of Europe. Later versions of the game had deeper, more involved storylines. The Castlevania timeline was revised in 2002 by current series producer Koji Igarashi.

11th century

1094: (The events of Castlevania: Lament of Innocence) The 11th century was a time of knighthood, when the power of medieval monarchs was waning in the face of feuding lords and knights. The Catholic Church was undergoing many reforms and imposing them on the land, and, as a result, the Crusades became a political distraction for their actions. Two of the courageous knights fighting during this period were Leon Belmont and Mathias Cronqvist. Between Leon's exceptional combat experience and Mathias' skills as a tactician, the two led one of the strongest armies in the realm. They never suffered a single defeat in combat, even when they were called by the Church to fight in the Crusades. Yet, Mathias suffered a major personal loss upon his return from the Crusades when he learned of the sudden death of his wife, Elizabetha. She had become very ill and had died. He became overcome with grief, and was ill to the point of being bedridden a year later. // Events May - El Cid completes his Christian reconquest of Valencia, Spain from the Muslims. ...

Leon led the army into battle, and they continued to do well. Yet, when a band of monsters attacked their realm, pouring from an area known as the Forest of Eternal Night, the Church would not sanction combat without political cause and would not permit Leon to order the troops to fight back. So, he had to personally deal with the matter. Mathias informed him that the lord of the forest, Walter Bernhard, was a very powerful vampire and had kidnapped his betrothed, Sara Trantoul. Leon rushed into the woods, committing treason by doing so, and met up with Rinaldo Gandolfi. Gandolfi informs Leon him that Walter mounts the monster raids as a game, since he gets bored as an immortal and wants entertainment. Gandolfi gives Leon a powerful weapon called the Whip of Alchemy (Rinaldo is an alchemist), and Leon enters the castle. He must defeat five guardians before reaching Walter (which he does). character illustration by Kojima Ayami Walter Bernhard (ヴァルター・ベルンハルト) is a vampire character appearing in the video game Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (part of the long-running Castlevania series). ...

Leon defeats a Golem, Medusa, Succubus, and even an Undead Parasite on the path to Walter. Walter laughs at him, but returns his beloved after Leon defeats the vampire Joachim Armster. Leon then learns that Walter possesses the Ebony Stone, one of two supernatural stones that can grant extraordinary powers. Rinaldo informs Leon, however, that Sara has been vampirized. There is really no hope for her, but, perhaps, if she sacrifices herself to the whip, it will become strong enough to destroy Walter. In the end, not wanting to live as an undead, she does so, and the whip is henceforth known as the Vampire Killer, harnessing the power of her sacrifice and her vampiric aura. Leon uses it to destroy Walter. Death then enters the room to stop Walter from bragging, suck his life-force from him and take the stone away. Death said he served the one who possessed the Crimson Stone. This person walks into the room and identifies himself as none other than Mathias. In order to defy God, Mathias said that he became immortal through the stone's power. He cursed God every day since his wife's death. He thought that he could use Leon to gain the other stone and increase his power, and that perhaps Leon would join him in immortality now that he had lost everything as well. Leon, not agreeing with his friend's logic, tells him that though he is sorry for his loss, he cannot curse God and that he knows God has nothing to do with it. Mathias knows that the two cannot get along, and he says: "Death, he's all yours!" Death stands in the way and teleports Leon and himself to a chaotic world where the two fight, but Leon gets the upper-hand and wins.

It has been confirmed that he is Dracula. He would not be seen for almost four hundred years.

Amidst this chaos is Hector, a Devil Forgemaster who had formerly worked in the service of Dracula. Yet Hector grew weary and disgusted of the count's brutal methods and left Castlevania to live with humans, but when his human wife was killed and his fellow forgemaster, Isaac, is implicated in the deed, Hector sets off for Dracula's stronghold to settle the score with him. At the end, it revealed that Isaac made Hector regain his devil forging powers so that Castlevania would return to the human world. But, what Isaac didn't know was that he himself was being used by Death, Dracula's right-hand-man. Death believed that Hector would kill Isaac, and that Dracula's Curse would take control of him, with his body becoming a vessel for Dracula's safe return to Earth. However, Hector realized that his drive for vengeance was caused by Dracula's Curse. Hector did not kill Isaac, but Death killed Isaac anyway and summoned Dracula through Isaac's body. Hector killed his former master, and performed the "Final Forging" where he summoned the essence of the curse and destroyed it. But a mysterious man named Saint Germaine, who Hector had met earlier, believes that the war will never end and even when all evil is destroyed, there will still be ones who will claim evil's mantle again.

Then, Simon had a vision from a maiden, who told him that unless he were to find the five body parts of the count and burn them in his ancestral home, the curse would remain permanent, plaguing the land, and Simon would die from his wounds. Thus, Simon set out, exploring Transylvania, defeating fiends who possessed these parts, interacting with townspeople who helped him, and in the end, resurrected the count, defeating him one last time, putting him down again and stopping the curse before it consumed him and the land once and for all.

1748: (The events of Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance) In 1746, Maxim Kischine left on a self-training expedition in order to cope with his own self-doubt after Juste Belmont was chosen to receive the legendary whip, Vampire Killer. Two years later, upon his return from training (wounded and scarred), Maxim tells Juste some terrible news - a childhood friend of both theirs, named Lydie Erlanger, had been kidnapped, and also, Maxim had lost memory of the events of the past two years (or most of the events). Even so, he was able to lead Juste to the site of the disappearance, where they encountered a castle that hadn't been there previously. Juste hurried into the castle as Maxim recuperated in the entry way, promising to join Juste later. Juste discovers that Maxim, in a horrifying attempt to emulate the actions of Simon Belmont (of 50 years earlier), has collected the body parts of Dracula in an attempt to resurrect the Dark Lord to prove himself by defeating the wicked count. Yet, the count's spirit ends up possessing Maxim, and knowing this, Juste sets out to collect the remains himself and put an end to this foolishness once and for all. Juste recovers the remains and Lydie, and after defeating Maxim, Dracula escapes and materializes into a physical form. However, Juste managed to defeat the count, and without his presence, the castle crumbles, so the three escape and watch the ruins collapse from a hillside in the distance.

1792: (The events of Demon Castle Dracula X: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Dracula X) Once again, the dark prince is revived prematurely, this time by a fanatical cult who sacrifices a woman - her blood is just the evil touch needed to bring him back to the world of the flesh. Dracula had learned many things over the centuries, and this time, he decided to put them to use. The current vampire hunter in the land was Richter Belmont, so the count spent some time observing Richter, his girlfriend Annette Renard, her sister Maria Renard, and several other villagers. Then, as he had done in the past, he kidnapped those individuals and swept them away to Castlevania, his ancestral home, after having his minions attack and burn the town. So, Richter was called into action, picking up the Vampire Killer whip to bring justice to the count. Once he had rescued Maria, she used her unique skills to fight the count's forces as well. In the end, the two rescued the villagers and defeated Dracula, though he turned into an ethereal mist when defeated and escaped through a window, vowing to return again. Still, the count's words resounded in Richter's head: "I am not the one who is evil.

1796: (The events of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) Four years after Richter Belmont's encounter with the dark lord, the dark priest Shaft brought the count out of hiding and augmented his powers, restoring him to his normal, true self once again. His motives? Shaft wanted true and unmatched power and felt that Dracula was the one force he could receive it from. Yet, one man would stand in his way - Richter. Thus, he placed a powerful curse on Richter, managing to side him with evil, and this shift in the forces of darkness caused Alucard to awaken from his slumber (that he had placed on himself to rid the world of his cursed bloodline). Alucard went to Castlevania to seek those that delved in the dark arts. He encountered the grown Maria Renard several times, defeated Shaft (bringing Richter to his senses), and in the end, defeated the prince of darkness, restoring order to late-18th century Europe... 1796 was a leap year starting on Friday. ...

1999: It was foretold that this would be the year when the war between Dracula and the Belmonts would come to an end. Dracula was resurrected, but Julius Belmont, possibly Adrian Tepes and most likely a relative of Yoko Belnades managed to defeat him. Apparently, a family member of Mina Hakuba was also involved. It may also be so that Saint Germain, an agent of the Church and time traveller who spoke of this final battle in 1479, assisted Julius in some way. Castlevania, along with the soul of its master, was sealed in an eclipse that occurred at the time of his death. After the battle, Julius lost his memory.

He also meets up with Genya Arikado (Alucard), who defeats a group of demons and explains to him his ability to absorb monster souls.

The cult members were Celia Fortner, the leader, Dario Bossi, who held power over fire, and Dmitrii Blinov, who held the power to copy any ability and counter-use it. Celia's belief was that for the ultimate good to exist in the world, the ultimate evil must also exist. Dario and Dmitrii were known as the two "Dark Lord" candidates, who both had the possibility of becoming the Dark Lord himself.
