I, too, would like to know what Mathias does for the next 380 or so years. All we know is that in that time period he falls in love with Lisa, fathers a child (Alucard), Lisa dies, and Drac (Mathias) begins to slaughter humans.
all of that happens during the last few years before cv3. lisa dies in 1470, while young/teenage alucard is forced to watch her die. a bit later drac finds out, goes batshit insane and starts his war against humanity, and eventually in 1476 trevor and co manages to kill him for the first time.
Then again, this may only happen after Lisa is killed by humans.
by then drac starts his war and is killed off by trevor.
since then he only returns for few minutes every so often when someone resurrects him to have his ass handed to him by belmonts and die again.
plus the anniversary thing said that during the 300+ years he was amassing his powers probably to ascend from a vampire into the opposite of god, dark lord.
and then as far as i remember it added something about the souls of other vampires that were killed by belmonts being used to strengthen him.
