Hector was a devil forgemaster who betrayed Dracula and in the minds of some dealt a blow to evil's cause. Soon after, Dracula was felled at the hands of Trevor Belmont. After renouncing his powers, Hector began to live a normal life of peace with his wife Rosaly. Though, forces who blamed his betrayal for Dracula's defeat were planning their revenge; that is, his former friend Isaac, a fellow forgemaster, orchestrated and manipulated a series of events where Rosaly was accused of witchcraft and after a sham trial burned at the stake. Hector vowed to extract revenge. Isaac's plan had a second part, which was less clear: This baiting of Hector, he revealed, was an attempt to force his former friend to once again embrace the dark power of devil forgery so that the two could tangle in a real battle of revenge--namely for Hector's betrayal of the Count.

The vengeful Hector raced to an abandoned castle, where Isaac was hiding, but he knew he'd be no match without his powers. He'd have to descend into darkness--give in to Isaac's games and reclaim his powers regardless of the result. Over the course of his adventure, he rediscovered his mastery over Innocent Devils, as Isaac had hoped. Some friendly forces, like Julia and Zead, aided in this mission, while others, like the ever-patrolling Trevor and Saint Germain, saw his involvement as meddling. He would not relent. Upon the continued advice of Zead, he tracked Isaac back to the abandoned castle--to a hidden chamber, a magically sealed corridor that with Trevor's help he was able to breach. Though, this, too, was desired: The fully powered Hector's battle with its guardian, Dullahan, was the force needed; the enormous energy from the encounter was harnessed by Isaac and used to raise from the depths Dracula's castle!

Upon the urging of Julia Laforeze, Hector infiltrated the castle and located Isaac in its keep. The two battled until Hector gained an edge, but before he could deal a final blow, he was met with a soothing vision of the Rosaly-resembling Julia, which curved his murderous impulse. However, his momentary wavering allowed the real mastermind, Zead, to step from the shadows and use the dark energy to resurrect Dracula via the incapacitated body of Isaac, which would serve as the vessel in place of Hector, who Zead would have preferred. Zead then revealed himself to be Death and stalled Hector while the resurrection was underway. Hector eventually confronted Dracula and delivered to him a sure defeat. Before the castle could collapse, he transported to safety with at his side Julia, who in light of his recent life events offered to share with him her home. To Hector, who was clearly smitten, this wasn't at all a bad idea.
