Hector Castlevania

Hector had a difficult childhood. He was born as the son of an alchemist. At an early age, he found that animals gravitated toward him, both animals of the day and animals of the night. Other children and adults thought that this was unnatural and did not accept him. This caused his mother grief and she exclaimed to him that she wished he was never born. The only things his father was interested in was wealth, honor, control, and protection by those in power and barely noticed that Hector existed. One day, the animals that had witnessed the cruelty of his fellow humans and decided to help him "escape" his predicament. They caused the church to catch on fire and perhaps cost the lives of his family and neighbors. They told him that he was free now and should be happy that they got what they deserved. They told him to go to the one place in the world where he would be allowed to live and led him to Dracula's Castle. Hector, Dracula's former blacksmith of creatures of the night, was manipulated the day before Dracula's death into going with another powerful vampire named Carmilla, but as soon as he arrived at her castle, Carmilla ordered the vampire guards to wash him and take him to the palace cells, feeding him only once a day.
