This character has embarked on a Hunt, a mission to eliminate all monsters in the world, dedicating their life to killing supernatural beings. Whether this Hunter of Monsters is good or evil depends on how sympathetic the audience is supposed to feel towards their prey. Naturally, we see a hunter chasing our protagonist as wrong, but almost all hunters wrestle with some kind of fanaticism. Chasing a “good” version of their prey gives the character a chance to resolve that fanaticism, and potentially confront “He Who Fights Monsters”. Those who are “good” will often leave some examples of their prey alone because that person isn’t evil like the rest. Others don’t care about good and evil and consider all monsters to be beyond redemption, leading to “Van Helsing Hate Crimes”. And then there’s the occasional one who feels that all monsters are beyond redemption and is absolutely right, despite protests from those less knowledgeable about these monsters… ~ Hunter Of Monsters – TV Tropes
