"Morris is Nathan's Master and is teaching him the skills necessary to combat Dracula and his minions. He and Nathan's parents succeeded in banishing Dracula 10 years previously. He chose Nathan as his successor over his own son, Hugh, and passed on the Hunter Whip."

— Official background

Morris Baldwin (モーリス・ボールドウィン, Mōrisu Bōrudouin^?, Maurice Baldwin) is Hugh's father and a veteran vampire hunter. He and Nathan's parents sealed Count Dracula 10 years ago. Morris does not believe in favoritism and therefore chose Nathan as his successor instead of his own son.

He and his apprentices went to Camilla's castle in 1830 to prevent his resurrection. However, they were too late and Dracula was awakened by her. He lacked his full power, though, and prepared a ritual to drain Morris' life force to replenish his own powers.

Trivia

• Morris's name was presumably taken from Quincey Morris, a character from the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, whose name was also taken for John Morris' father, Quincy Morris.
