History:
Born of the Kellion bloodline, Alucard grew up knowing a life of relative ease. At his home in St. Petersburg, Russia, he was doted on by his parents, being granted an excessive deal of privilege until the age of five. On his fifth birthday, most of what he knew changed. Suddenly, things were expected of him, great things, and his father served as a perpetual reminder of these facts. As a "gift" to his son for his fifth birthday, Alucard's father presented him with an acceptance notification for enrollment at St. Michael's in Romania (an arrangement his father had made of his own accord without consulting Alucard or his mother). Shortly there after, his family relocated to Romania and Alucard began his schooling immediately.
As his years of training and tutelage progressed, his father began to apply a much more liberal pressure to his son, urging him to succeed at everything, no matter the cost. Image was everything, he would say, and the Kellion lineage has had a rich history of serving the Council. His father had done it, and his father before him. Eventually, the line between a loving, devoted father and a professional drill instructor became blurred to Alucard as his father relentlessly pursued the subject that some day his son was going to continue his legacy and serve as an adviser to the Council as past generations of the Kellion line had done to date.
In spite of his father's overbearing personality though, Alucard managed to excel at his courses and create a small niche of an existence for himself in their new home country, going to great lengths himself to dispel the less than favorable image many of his fellow classmates had bestowed upon him as a spoiled snob who was making his way in life on his father's coat-tails. Though his father would continue on about how his son was to some day take his place (at times seemingly reversing his son's work to separate himself from his own regal image), Alucard never bought into the notion and, though he lacked the will to say it to his father's face, openly admitted to those closest to him that he had no desire whatsoever to follow in his father's footsteps, especially not his morally ambiguous views on life.
Though Alucard could abide hiding his lack of interest in assuming his father's legacy, he could not condone his father's treatment towards other lesser beings. In a bid to mold his son to what he saw fit, Alucard's father would forbid him to consort with Damphirs as anything but a servant. That was what they were bred for, that is all they are good for, he'd say. His father, however, had not taken into account the influence of Alucard's mother on his son's world views.
In direct contrast to his father, who was obsessed with image and maintaining the prestige of the family name, Alucard's mother was always one to instill a sense of altruism in her son. Where his father taught him tact, etiquette and social grace, his mother imbued him with morality, conscience and, in many ways, a kind of humanitarianism. As a result, Alucard cannot tolerate the abuse and misuse of the Damphir line for the Moroi's own selfish gains against the Strigoi. He sees them as equals and, at times, superior to the Moroi. In ways, Alucard's father resents this aspect of his son's personality, but he ultimately blames his mother for giving him such weak ideals, often letting the subject go, clinging instead to his focus of grooming his eventual heir.
Now nearing his graduation, Alucard hasn't quite found the words to express his discontent with the path his father has seemingly laid out for him, but in time the confrontation will have to be met. It is only a question of when.
