In this incarnation, Van Helsing initially seems to hate Dracula for no reason other than the fact that he wrongly believes he is a threat to humanity, which has extended this hatred to other monsters as well as animals. Despite this, Van Helsing is completely clumsy and incompetent and would more likely destroy his own life rather than that of the monsters, which he regards as animals. He also became arrogant and myopic after studying engineering, archaeology (via ancient artifacts), and biology.
Abraham can also be very persistent, all of his failures discouraged him, but he never wanted to stop trying and even extended his life. But, then he regrets his actions of him for almost killing Erika for falling in love with Dracula, then after being saved by Dracula, he completely changes and apologizes to the monsters. In Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, he now proves himself to be kinder and more bearable than he was before, as he helps Johnny with the Transformer Ray.
