Eric Lecarde was by John Morris' side when his father, Quincy Morris, and friend Jonathan Harker destroyed Count Dracula. The young Eric, too, was deeply affected by Quincy's show of heroism and his subsequent death. Years after the event, ways were parted when the Morrises immigrated to the U.S. while Eric returned to Spain, his home, to start their own families. Though he and John would remain very good friends, Eric was equally determined to train diligently and earn the title of Vampire Killer and possession of the associated weapons.
This was possible because the Lecardes were very much in the direct bloodline of the Belmont clan. Speculation leads us to believe that Eric, specifically, is descended from the line of Renards, a lineage spawned through a relationship between Maria and Alucard; adding to the theory is that Eric commanded the Alcarde Spear (otherwise known as the "Alucard Spear"), a weapon collected by Alucard during one of his adventures (that is, the Sega Saturn version of Nocturne in the Moonlight).
After settling in, Eric, now a master lanceman, married the love of his life, a woman named Gwendolyn, and continued his training. It was around this time that Elizabeth Bartley had been unintentionally resurrected, whence she began preparing the ritual to in turn resurrect her uncle, Count Dracula. As an act of vengeance against the family for her uncle's repeated defeats, Bartley tracked down Gwendolyn and infected her with the vampire curse; this act, as intended, ruined Eric's life. So after it was decreed that John Morris be named Vampire Killer, the distraught Eric volunteered to take his friend's place, to avenge his wife's death. If you choose to play his mission in Bloodlines, John grants Eric's wish by stepping down and entrusting to him the sub-weapons. As the story would instead unfold: It was instead Eric who was decoyed to Castlevania before scouring the globe, following evil's trail, to find the place of Dracula's real rising--the Castle Proserpina. It was here where Eric foiled Bartley's plan: He extracted his revenge by striking down the last line of defense and then out-dueling a freshly risen Count.
According to series' canon, Eric's mission is seen as but an "interpretation." In reality, it was John Morris who came to command the weapons and defeat Dracula. In the meantime, Eric stood on the sidelines and cheered on his friend's efforts. Eric's greater role came as a result of John's death following the battle with Dracula. To those who were not true successors, the Vampire Killer and its unbridled power were tools necessary, yet they were very much a threat to the continued existence of its wielder. People with this knowledge would have to take it upon themselves to act as the power's key so that the whip would never go overused by a hero. It was the Lecardes who accepted the task, for only they would have the ability to open and close the gateway to the Whip's Memory.
Sometime in 1944, when Castlevania prematurely rose from the depths, a 50-year-old Eric was one of the few to investigate the matter on behalf of the Church. Upon entering a mysterious painting, he discovered the source of castle's rising: The black magic of the vampire Brauner, who had harvested the souls of those felled during World War II. Almost in a flash, he was killed by Brauner's surprise attack. Before breathing his last breath, he cast upon himself a magic barrier, binding his soul to the castle; the price was that he would remain trapped within the castle, able to project only his specter. His was the propensity to resist the castle's power. In this ghostly form, it was Eric (using the alias "Wind" to hide his identity) who guided Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin to their destiny, supplying them skills and pertinent information. When the duo defeated Dracula and his guardians, in the process saving Eric's daughters, Stella and Loretta, from Brauner's control, Eric was able to pass on from this world, fulfilled.
