Max Montana

Sturmbannfuhrer Montana is a very colorful and unconventional personality.

The Major's most striking character trait is his obsession with war. By his own admission, he loves war in all its forms: even his defeat or potential death in battle, he meets with joy and glee. This obsession can be compared to the true love of a fanatic who gives himself wholeheartedly to the service of his god.

Despite his bloodthirstiness, the Sturmbannfuhrer always behaves like a gentleman: he is calm, patient, cool-headed and polite in communication, both with his fighters and with enemies. The Sturmbannfuhrer is the epitome of an aesthetically pleasing Nazi: he is well versed in history and literature, prefers fine dishes and wines, likes to listen to classical music and wear elegant clothes. He also proved to be a very eloquent speaker, able to express his thoughts and worldview in long speeches and monologues. He is so charismatic that he has managed to subdue a thousand creatures many times stronger and more powerful than him, being an ordinary person without any superpowers. The Sturmbannfuhrer is a brilliant strategist who has been planning his war against Alucard for almost fifty years and has achieved success (albeit not complete). The Sturmbannfuhrer can be called a philosopher and to some extent a humanist. He likes to talk about war, about the nature of people and monsters, and about the reasons that push them into conflict. Despite admitting his villainous nature, he values his humanity very highly and considers himself a real person, as opposed to monsters like Alucard. According to the Major, there is only one thing that makes a person human — free will, which vampires and other monsters do not have, driven by a thirst for blood, without which they will simply die. It is for this reason that he despises Alucard, who gave up his soul and will in exchange for eternal life, and by defeating him he wants to show the triumph of man over the monster.
