I have never played a Castlevania game in my life, so please answer this question: Alucard, is he a vampire?

Alucard is the son of Dracula, the titular antagonist of the Castlevania series. Due to his human mother, Lisa, Alucard is a dhampir, a half-human, half-vampire. His mother's death and admonition not to hate humanity caused him to take arms against his father.[7] In Dracula's Curse and Castlevania Legends, he fights against his father alongside the vampire hunters of the Belmont clan, and he is featured as the protagonist of Symphony of the Night. Alucard additionally is present in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and follow-up sequel Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, where he interacts with the protagonist of both games, Soma Cruz, as the mysterious Japanese government agent Genya Arikado (有角幻也, Arikado Gen'ya?).[8][9]

half vampire actually

This is so odd... What's Castlevania without the castle roaming part?

Seriously. Castlevania was amazing the way it was. Messing up the formula = Messing up the funness.
