Trevor C. Belmont's History
— Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse booklet description
In Wallachia, during the year 1476, the people became disturbed when monsters, who had until that point only been talked about in legend, started to appear in populated areas. According to rumors, they were commanded by a mysterious Count in black known as Dracula.[4] Viewing the situation with great concern, the Eastern Orthodox Church sent out their troops to subdue to the threat. Because he was suspected to be a vampire, a secret team was deployed to find and defeat Dracula.[5]
Trevor sets out on his quest.
After receiving no word from Wallachia for some time, the Pope turned to the Belmont family as a last resort. Trevor Belmont stepped forward to end the oppression of Wallachia.[5] He was a descendant of Leon Belmont and was feared by the people because of his powers. Therefore, the Belmont family lived outside of society.[6]
During his journey, Trevor gathered many allies that would join him in his fight against Dracula.
The first was a rebel fighter known as Grant Danasty, who had been turned into a demon by Dracula and had been placed at the Clock Tower as a guard.[1][7] After Trevor defeated his demon form, Grant turned back into a human and joined him as an ally.
The second companion was the witch Sypha Belnades.[1][7] She was part of the hunting party formed by the Church to take on Dracula. Because the people of Wallachia were known to be afraid of witches, Sypha had disguised herself as a man in order to move around without concern.[8] She was eventually captured by a cyclops and was turned into a statue. After Trevor managed to put an end to the monster, she was freed of her petrification and decided to go along with him.
Trevor confronts Dracula.
The last ally to join was Alucard, Dracula's son. He did not agree with his father's actions and decided to stop him. However, he realized that he was not strong enough to do this alone and decided to search for an ally that could help him.[1][7] When Trevor came across Alucard, he was promptly challenged to a duel. Trevor Belmont emerged victorious from this duel and, although Alucard had spared the hunter from his full strength because he was testing him[9], he still joined along as Trevor's ally, confirming him as a real, powerful Vampire Hunter who was strong enough to defeat his father.
Together, the four heroes fought their way to Dracula's Throne Room. They battled Dracula, but only Trevor was capable to finish him, using the Vampire Killer whip, inherited by his ancestors, finally used against Dracula for the first time. After the fight, they watched the castle crumble at a nearby mountain cliff. All the monsters disappeared alongside with Dracula and Wallachia was at rest. From that point on, the Belmont family became a honored and respected presence in the region.[10]

Although Wallachia was now in a state of prosperity, over time, various disasters like poverty and famine befell the population.[11] This phenomenon seemed to be more apparent as one got closer to Dracula's castle.[12]
Shortly after Dracula's defeat, Trevor already felt things were not right. However, he dismissed these feelings as a bad omen for the time being.[13]

Three years later, while out investigating, he received word of the existence of a cult of Dracula worshipers.[14] Soon, his investigation led him to a long deserted monastery where he ran into a man whom Trevor asked if he was a Devil Forgemaster. The man confirmed he was and Trevor, believing the Devil Forgemaster to be the cause of the recent misfortune in Wallachia, promptly attacked him. Despite expecting the Devil Forgemaster to put up a fight, he easily managed to defeat him. Trevor had heard stories of a servant that had betrayed Dracula during the war three years ago and realized that this man was most likely him, despite this person being presumed dead. After introducing himself to the man, he, in turn, introduced himself as Hector and the two parted ways.
Trevor traveled ahead and found Isaac, who was the Devil Forgemaster he was truly after. They engaged in battle and Isaac proved to be a dangerous foe. Isaac suddenly noticed Hector arriving and left without hesitation after lightly cutting Trevor with his spear, saying that he had gotten what he needed and declared that he would slay both, Trevor and Hector, eventually. Trevor, determined to vanquish him, initiated pursuit. Hector caught up with him in an Abandoned Castle while bringing news of a hidden chamber hidden below its grounds and that Isaac was there now.

Trevor thought this was impossible at first because the seal placed on the entrance could only be opened with the blood of his clan. Then, he suddenly realized that the reason why Isaac fought him was to tap some blood from him in order to enter the hidden chamber. The vampire hunter had no choice but to test how much power Hector gained and challenged him to a duel. During the battle, Hector showed that his powers had grown and he was worthy to advance to the place Isaac fled to. Trevor broke the seal and let Hector travel ahead of him, but before he left he told the Devil Forgemaster to show no mercy.
After Hector arrived to the very center of the Infinite Corridor, Trevor suddenly sensed an enormous power and much to his shock, realized that it was coming from the newly risen Dracula's Castle. As he stood in confusion, he was stabbed in the back by Isaac, who told that it was Hector's doing that the castle had arisen again. He explained that Hector accidentally undid the seal on the castle by producing demonic magic while battling the guard who protected it. Isaac then pulled back his spear and left Trevor to die.
Fortunately, Trevor was saved by Julia Laforeze, a witch who aided Hector many times during the Devil Forgemaster's travels. This proved Trevor's incredible stamina, superior to any normal human who would have died by the injury. He returned with his wife afterwards and continued the Belmont bloodline.
