What is Cameron Van Helsing's plan?
Convoluted.
Cameron Van Helsing promises monsters a safe, human-free environment in which they can raise their children. (A promise complicated by the presence of David and, later, Harrison). Monsters are fairly out-of-touch with human society and labor under the misapprehension that humans are still pitchfork wielding monster killers.
Humans, however, have more or less forgotten about the existence of monsters which is why Max had no idea he could be cursed. It is also why he is learning about monsters for the first time. They mostly stick to the shadows.
Cameron Van Helsing also collects any and all discarded things of magical value (such as lost teeth or fur) and uses them to make potions that he then sells to humans under the name ‘tonics’ and charges a ton of money for them.
