1450 - Castlevania: Legends
If you venture back as far into the Belmont family history as has been revealed, you will find Sonia Belmont. She was the first (so far) known Belmont to pick up the whip and collide with destiny. The Count knew that no mere mortal was a match for him, and thus set out to cover the world in darkness. He had gathered many followers and very little resistance. However, the resistance that came in the form of Sonia would be his demise - for now. Her powers were so strong, that the people of Romania feared her, and thus had the Belmonts exiled.
1476 - Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse
Next in the line of active Vampire Hunters was Trevor Belmont. Son of Sonia Belmont, it has been believed that he is the love child of Alucard. He was called to action when Dracula was prematurly risen by some of his followers (whom he promptly slaughtered and sacrificed for thier services). The Count now had two purposes, to cover the world in darkness, and to destroy the Belmont family. He had dreamt of this for the duration of his ten year slumber, but any dream of a Belmont would become his nitemare. The people of Romania had to search for a hero, a Belmont. Lucky for them, the Belmonts were not sore for being exhiled, and had even sent Trevor to live there under cover incase Dracula ever rose again. Trevor, having learned from Sonia, and with the help of three brave fighters: Grant DaNasty, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard son of Dracula, managed to give Dracula his first hundred year sleep, the maximum he could be entombed to. Trevor was also victorious at gaining the trust of Romania, which became once again home to the Belmonts.
1576 - The Castlevania Adventure
Dracula rises from his hundred year hibernation, sure that his plan had worked and that he no longer had to fear the Belmont family. He was dead wrong. Christopher Belmont set forth to prove this to him. During the confrontation with Christopher, Dracula felt it would be better to turn tail and run. He would not stand a chance against a Belmont so he searched for some leverage.
1591 - Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge
Fifteen years later, Dracula found Christopher's son, Soleiyu. He kidnapped Soleiyu, forcing Christopher to be more careful in his second battle with Drac, for one mistake and Dracula would have Soleiyu killed. Christopher found and rescued Soleiyu, and set forth to destroy the Count with raging fury.
1691 - Castlevania, Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest
Another hundred years passed, and Dracula rose from his sleep with a plan. If he was defeated again, he would not sleep alone! He began reaking havok and quickly drew the attention of a new Belmont. Simon was the great-grandson of Christopher, and had been trained with the experience of two great Vampire Hunters before him. However, all the training he had would not prepare him for what Dracula had planned. Simon made it to Dracula with all the skill of a warrior, and promptly slayed him. What he did not know was, Dracula had placed a curse on him before their battle had ended, and slowly Simon would fall ill and die. One of the village elders told him that the only way to break the curse was to resurrect Dracula and burn him. Simon would need the Count's body parts to do this, and the Count knew it. The Count had previously ordered his followers to scatter his body and guard it's pieces with their lives. He knew that he'd be sacrificing an early resurrection, but it was worth it to him. He would sleep his hundred years, and when he awoke, Simon would be long dead and the Belmont family lineage with him. Simon set forth to gather Drac's parts. He resurrected the Count and burned him, lifting the curse. He then made sure that the Belmont family would be prepared against such a curse in the future.

He kidnapped Annette, her sister Maria, a village Nun named Tara, and the village doctor's daughter named Iris. Richter set forth on his long journey, not knowing if things would turn out for the better. Too many innocents were involved, things did not look good. Shortly though, Richter found and freed Maria who helped him in his quest. Together they freed all of the captives, and slayed Dracula yet again.
1792 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Four years after Richter's battle with the Count, darkness came yet again. A Dark Priest named Shaft, was hungry for ultimate power and thought he could achieve this with the help of Dracula. He set forth to resurrect Drac yet again, but first he would remove a major obsticle in his path, Richter Belmont. He placed a spell upon Richter and actually managed to get him to side with evil. This large shift in power caused Alucard to awaken from his slumber. Alucard had put himself to sleep after standing along side Trevor, hoping to seal his cursed bloodline.
