Well...

1000 years ago Leon Belmont (vampire hunter) Killed Walter Bernhard (the king of all vampires) who was hunted down during the whole game because he attacked Leon's fields (Leon was a Baron before becoming a vampire hunter) and turned his girlfriend,Sara Tantroul in a vampire. before entering the Pagoda of the Misty Moon (Walter's Headquarters),Rinaldo Gandolfi a (probably Italian) Alchemist told Leon to kill Sara because she reached a terminal state in "vampirization",but they used her soul (both pure and tainted) to craft the VAMPIRE KILLER! a magical whip hat was powerful enough to KO Walter.But after Walter's death, Death itself enters the room bringing the Crimson stone (a legendary artifact used to absorb vampire's souls)along with Mathias Cronqvist (Leon's childhood friend) who didn't play a huge role... UNTIL NOW!: He said he used Leon to kill Walter and absorb his soul to become a Dark Lord (God of Darkness who's opposed to God)and thus achieving immortality. What's worse? the crimson stone's wielder can enslave Death to obey his/her will.

Why did He do this?

a few years earlier his wife Elisabetha died due to an unknown disease while he was fighting the crusades.

So he believed that God betrayed him and so he vowed revenge against God himself by finding something powerful enough to make Mathias immortal and capable to kill God and thus become Emperor of the universe.

After his speech Mathias left the room in a swarm of bats leaving death facing Leon

After Death's defeat it escaped the room too and Leon shout it "SAY THIS TO YOUR LORD: THE BELMONT CLAN WILL HUNT THE NIGHT! and this is how Death and Dracula began working together.
