When Reinhardt Schneider (or Carrie Fernandez, depending on which you prefer) entered into the Villa Mansion's foyer, he found a sealed document laying on the ground. The moment he picked up the document and opened it, it beckoned the appearance of a strange-looking figure: Renon, the demon salesman from Hell.

Renon, his pointy tail hardly concealed, was always one to capitalize on Armageddon, and he was more than happy to assist the living if it would mean gleefully watching their demise at a later time. After all, the deaths of millions was a wonderful business opportunity.

In a gentlemanly manor, Renon offered his services to the hero if he were to sign the contract; therein, he'd supply Reinhardt all types of helpful items to take along on his quest. Furthermore, Renon promised to come to Reinhardt's aid any time he found another of his contracts laying about. He did this job well until Reinhardt neared the castle keep, whence he felt that his services were no longer needed. He bid the hero farewell and returned to Hell to find his next client.

Note that the story changes if while playing Castlevania 64 you spend too much money. As the story unfolds from this alternate perspective: Renon revealed that there was a clause in the contract, fine print that Reinhardt failed to consider. He spent too much money on goods, greedily, and would have to pay the price with his soul. Renon thus revealed his true identity, a formidable hellspawn, and tried to make good on the proposition. Instead, Reinhardt rendered the contract null and void, and Renon was unceremoniously shipped back to Hell.
