Unlike a typical vampire hunter, Richter boasts peak human physiology, thanks to the Belmont Clan's centuries-old training regimen and the magical blood of Sypha Belnades, a powerful witch who married Richter's distant ancestor, Trevor Belmont, after they defeated Dracula. Like Juste, Richter is also able to utilize the magical capabilities he inherited from Sypha. In Richter's case, he is able to use an Item Crash, which unleashes the hidden power of a sub-weapon, such as the Hydro Storm of [[Holy Water]] and the [[Grand Cross]] of a [[Cross]]. Unlike Juste, he is able to do it naturally instead of having to rely on a combination of spellbooks and sub-weapons. | Unlike a typical vampire hunter, Richter boasts peak human physiology, thanks to the Belmont Clan's centuries-old training regimen and the magical blood of Sypha Belnades, a powerful witch who married Richter's distant ancestor, Trevor Belmont, after they defeated Dracula.

In 1792 during the events of ''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood'', Richter's story begins as he is training with the Belmont Clan's heirloom, a holy whip known as the Vampire Killer, and studying a map of Dracula's Castle. However, his training is interrupted when he sees smoke rising in the direction of Aljiba, the hometown of his fiancée Annette<!--Koji Igarashi confirmed that Dracula X occurs in a separate continuity, and that Rondo of Blood supersedes it in regard to canonicity, thus making Annette and Maria Renard friends sisters instead of blood relatives-->. Rushing there on horseback and fighting briefly against Death, Richter finds Aljiba in flames and Annette kidnapped by the newly resurrected Dracula and his army of monsters. | In 1792 during the events of ''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood'', Richter's story begins as he is training with the Belmont Clan's heirloom, a holy whip known as the Vampire Killer, and studying a map of Dracula's Castle.

Entering the castle's halls and avoiding a grotesque monster known as the Behemoth, Richter rescues Maria Renard, a 12-year-old vampire huntress and distant relative of the Belmont Clan. Although Richter chuckles dismissively at Maria's claims of being a vampire huntress, he later accepts her enthusiastic help upon being impressed by her mastery of magic and dominion over animals. En route to stopping Dracula and saving Annette, they rescue Iris, the daughter of a doctor, and Tera, one of Aljiba's nuns. | Entering the castle's halls and avoiding a grotesque monster known as the Behemoth, Richter rescues Maria Renard, a 12-year-old vampire huntress and distant relative of the Belmont Clan.
