Back in the day, he played his bag of tricks and mischief. There were days that he manipulated the shadows on the walls, leading the staff to think they saw something, but their eyes are tricking. Other times, he toyed with their dreams and becomes their nightmare. He played his hypnosis and mind-tricks, making them do his bidding and his will shortly until he's reported to Integra of him being bad.

It's all in good-fun and no harm-done. He knew he ends up being scolded by her by the end of the day, but the attention was worth it. "I just no longer have the reason to frighten the staff. With the Major's activities picking up, that becomes my prior." That's his excuse and good explanation.

And yet, she brought up a good detail that slipped his notice. His Master is really perceptive. He hadn't played his tricks on the staff in ages. Curious...but he knew better as to why. "I don't care about the tradition." Actually, he does care about the continuing bloodline. If she dies, he becomes a free man and he's no longer be the Helsing's servant.

But he'll ended up being alone. And there's no one to bother with his penny for thoughts. For that reason, she'll do her part when the right comes and he'll be there to be her intent for victory.

What a pitiful creature with the curse of immortality to do? He's only her weapon.
