Story ("Hector is the protagonist of the video game Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. He is a former general of Dracula who upon witnessing the excessive killings decided to flee the count's castle. A woman with whom Hector later found joy was killed by his former comrade-in-arms Isaac and so he returns to Dracula's domain in the game with the intention of taking revenge on Isaac.")

Official Background ("The protagonist of the game. A former Devil Forgemaster who betrayed Dracula three years ago, allowing his downfall at the hands of Trevor Belmont. After giving up his powers, Hector had been leading a normal life when his beloved was executed as a witch. He has sworn vengeance on Isaac, who had cleverly manipulated the witch trial.")

Childhood ("Hector had a difficult childhood. He was born the son of an alchemist. At an early age, he found that animals gravitated towards him, both daytime and nighttime animals. Other children and adults thought this was unnatural and did not accept it. This caused his mother grief and she exclaimed that she wished he had never been born. The only things his father cared about were wealth, honor, control, and protection from those powerful and influential, barely even noticing that Hector existed. One day, the animals who had witnessed the cruelty of their fellow humans decided to help him "escape" his predicament. They caused the church to burn down and perhaps cost the lives of his family and neighbors. They told him that he was now free and should be happy that they got what they deserved. They told him to go to a place in the world where he would be allowed to live and guided him to Dracula's castle.")

Castle Dracula ("Hector entered the care of Castle Dracula two years after another aspiring Devil Forgemaster had entered there, Isaac. There he was recognized as perhaps the most promising human resident there. Hector believed that power was what mattered in the world and that it did not matter if the power appeared to be "evil," for power was neither truly evil nor benevolent. He mastered the art of demonic alchemy that allowed him to create living beings using base materials. Isaac respected him, but became jealous of his position as Dracula's favorite. Hector and Isaac's power grew and they soon became Dracula's generals, now considered equal to Death himself. Dracula sent them to ravage the countryside and turned his domain of Wallachia, which he had once protected, into a desolate wasteland for betraying him. Hector did not want to use his power to do this and did not want to kill humans, even though they had never loved him, because he himself was "one. He obeyed his master however, for many months. He begged his lord not to make him kill them anymore, but his worries were put aside.")

Desertion ("When Dracula received word that a Belmont was on its way to finish him off, he sent Hector to kill it. However, Hector took the opportunity to flee the castle for good. He probably killed the demons that Dracula had sent along with him to aid him in his task and was injured in the process. He sought refuge in a church, which was a place where he could hide his dark powers from Dracula's forces. There he met Rosaly, who was the sister in charge of the church while the father was away, and allowed him to stay there and recover from his injuries. When Dracula sensed his power fading, he was worried about the possible loss of his most powerful general. Because the Belmont had not yet entered Wallachia by this point, he could not have been the one to kill him. He decided to send Isaac to find out what happened to him. If he was dead, then that was fine, although it was a pitiful loss. But if he was alive and had betrayed him, he would have to bring him back to Dracula to He sent Isaac along with several of his human compatriots and a werewolf. Although they were unable to track him with their power, the werewolf was able to find him by scent. After receiving a plea from a village boy named Ted, Hector became determined to save Rosaly from the werewolf (an act he was not used to), who had decided to snack on some humans while he was on his mission. Because he had already been discovered, he unmasked his power, destroyed the werewolf, and Isaac was alerted to the general's whereabouts. Isaac later found him and decided to kill him instead of bringing him back to Dracula as he had been ordered to. This was so Dracula would stop thinking about Hector and would only use Isaac's services. During the battle, they sensed that the demonic castle had been destroyed and Dracula had perished.

Life as a Villager ("Rosaly insisted that Hector stay with them until his wounds had healed. He was reluctant to do so because there might be others after him and he would endanger them. She insisted that the castle and all the demons had vanished. The most dangerous threats now came from the humans (who were slowly behaving more wickedly due to a curse Dracula had placed on these lands after his death). The children had also apparently taken a liking to Hector. Rosaly made it clear that she liked him and decided to stay, enjoying three years of acceptance, though he did not venture into populated areas largely due to prejudice. Isaac however, had not died and spied on Hector's progress. Driven mad by the curse seeping into his being, he decided to allow Hector a moment of happiness and contentment so that it would be all the more painful for him when it was taken from him. One day, three years later, Rosaly went to town in order to sell apples. This was the moment when Isaac decided to strike at Hector's heart. He spread rumors that the apples she was selling were poisonous and that she was actually a witch. Hector, who had gone to town to pick her up in case there was any trouble with the townspeople, found her burned on a stake.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness ("Enraged, Hector followed Isaac's trail to Dracula's abandoned castle. There, Isaac challenged him to follow if he wanted to regain his Devil Forgemaster powers. Hector follows Isaac into the castle and soon comes across a strange tomb. This tomb is revealed to be a site for forging Innocent Devils (ID). Against his better judgment, Hector relents and regains his former devil forging powers. Throughout the game, Hector encounters many other Innocent Devils, including a Fairy-Type (the first), a Battle-Type, a Bird-Type, a Magician-Type, and a Devil-Type. There is also a secret Pumpkin-Type that can be found, but only under certain circumstances can it be obtained. While chasing Isaac through the castle and surrounding kingdom, Hector encounters two other characters; Zead, and St. Germain. While Zead seeks to aid Hector in his quest, St. Germain requests that he continue pursuing Isaac. During a short FMV sequence, these two characters are shown to be in conflict with each other. Zead continues to give helpful advice throughout most of the game. Hector battles Isaac on more than one occasion. Each time Isaac is armed with powerful weapons and his own evolved ID Devil. To counter this, Hector must forge his own ID Devil and evolve it into its second form, and then its final form.")]
