Some things I don't get.


1. Why exactly does Alucard NEED to serve Integra? He's the most powerful being on earth who spent the last 500 years slaughtering and eating countless people, but now he bows before this young woman and does whatever she tells him. Why?

2. How in the hell did Van Hellsing beat Alucard in the first place? A stake through the heart beat him? He's taken endless machine gun fire and shrugged it off. Is a piece of wood his only weakness?

3. If only a human can kill a monster, how is it that Alucard has made a living killing monsters?

He serves her because doing anything else is pointless. It's also implied he hopes she will grow into a warrior that can defeat him and give him peace in death.

Van Hellsing clearly had a lot of magic, with the whole limit system he puts on Alucard and all.

3. If only a human can kill a monster, how is it that Alucard has made a living killing monsters?
I don't think he includes lowly vampires etc. as true monsters like himself.

One answer for both of your questions; he found his purpose in the Hellsing family. What they do is what he finds is right to do. Clear the world form monsters of all kind and levels. It's typical Dracula story. He is the biggest monster, pure evil, who still feels human. He knows he should be destroyed at some point but before he gets destroyed he will make world a better place without any monster in it. That means that only creature that will destroy him at the end (when he's done killing all other monsters) is human and Integra probably. And here's the answer to your third question.

1. Because her ancestor beat him and if he didn't serve her there would be nothing to drive the plot.

2. Plot Magic.

3. Alucard had a different definition of monster.

It's not a deep story folks, don't look to far in to it.
