To Vlad, Father of Nightstalkers, humans were creatures that suddenly appeared upon the world and, like ants, were so insignificant that they deserved not even the slightest of attention.
In fact, in the past era, they were nothing but food for Nightstalkers and low-grade food at that—something which a prestigious Nightstalker wouldn't eat.
True, they never surrender and always gave their all in their quest to survive, weathering one apocalypse after another and even outlived the Nightstalkers themselves. Indeed, Vlad was actually in awe of their sheer tenacity that kept them alive unto this era.
But like how humans would admit that cockroaches were stubbornly resilient but would never regard the bugs as a thread, Vlad's opinion of humans were that they are weeds, difficult to uproot but always multiplying rapidly even though there was nothing else virtuous about them.
And that perspective hasn't changed even now, after his revival.
