Quincy Morris is referenced during conversations between Jonathan Morris and Eric Lecarde, his actions questioned by a concerned grandson

Quincy Morris was the father of John Morris and yet another in the long line of Belmont descendants. To be exact, the Morris family is related to the Belmont clan by blood and as warriors of comparable power. When Richter Belmont in 1797 relinquished possession of the Vampire Killer whip and the mystic weapons to the Baldwins and Graves, also of blood relation, it was believed that the clan would one day return to reacquire them as dictated by the cycle of Dracula rising approximately once per century. By 1897, this had not happened--Dracula had returned several times, but there were no Belmonts to be seen. The responsibility in their hands, it was the elders of the blood-related Schneider faction who saw transfer of the weapons over to the capable Morrises.

They were left to the care of Quincy Morris, whose adventures are yet to be fully chronicled. (There are only two real mentions of the hero: One in Castlevania: Bloodlines' manual, a summary of his encounters, and the other in the natural exposition of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, where he's referred to simply as Jonathan Morris' "grandfather.") For a better view of his exploits, we need look to Bram Stoker's Dracula, from whose pages both Bloodlines and Quincy Morris are drawn out and reestablished as Castlevania canon. In actuality, Bloodlines continues right from where Stoker's tale left us and begins adding in the classic series' ingredients.

So in 1897, Quincy Morris defeated Count Dracula by stabbing him through the heart with a wooden stake. (Not using the Vampire Killer to finish the task may have future implication.) While the battle raged, the adolescent John Morris and his friend Eric Lecarde watched the encounter from the shadows. Due to the injuries endured during the battle with the Dark Lord, Quincy was unable to survive the encounter. Though, his act of bravery would not be forgotten. In light of the youths' witnessing of this battle, his legacy would live on: The heavily impacted John Morris and Eric Lecarde vowed to train diligently, to grow into warriors and forever fight against and crush the creatures of the underworld.
