Well, technically in LOS universe, "Gandolfi" has disappeared no one knows what happened to him. It is only rumored that he may have died, there are other rumors that he still lives but is in hiding somewhere (maybe he'll actually show up or the mystery will be resolved in the next game who knows). If for sake of fanfic story one wanted to set Lament after after Lords of Shadow 1 but before Mirror of Fate to keep the timeline in place... Maybe this is an idea;

The arguement would have to be that Gandolfi went into what was it called the Forest of Eternal Night where he essentially became a hermit trying to find a way to free his daughter. Actually according to one of the scrolls in Shadows of Darkness there are rumors that he may still be alive in the Bones Forest that Gabriel passes through to reach Woes Moor. Could Bones Forest and Forest of Eternal Night be the same forest! Is Gandolfi settled there trying to find a way to free his daughter, and creating a new Vampire Killer. Was Walter Bernhard kicked out of his previous castle, by Carmilla, only to build a new one in the Eternal Night Forest?

Is Matthias Cronqvuist perhaps Gabriel Belmont under an assumed identity, who intionally manipulated Leon Bemont in order to increase his own power? Thus making them the same Dracula, ultimately?

Now, this would leave a question of who is "Leon Belmont" in relation to Simon. It would be a big challenge to give a reinterpted backstory there ;). Perhaps the bastard offspring of Gabriel Belmont in his early life (if we regard Gabriel as the first Belmont)?

Again this is just for fun, and yes it does make things pretty convoluted, if they were merged in this way! LOL.
