Why did the monsters chase Daniel?

I'm just curious, does anyone know why those monsters--which, from what I understand, are Alexander's servants--attack Daniel? If they really are Alexander's servants, wouldn't they attack him after Alexander thought of him as a threat (which didn't happen until more than half way through the game)?

The only explanation is that since they're monsters in nature, they'll attack anything on sight (other than other monsters).... Perhaps.

Then why did they capture Daniel instead of killing him ?

They never capture him until the end, when Alexander tells them too. Until then I think they were just trying to kill him.

Yes I was talking about the part where you get captured, they got Daniel right there, why not kill him instead of just throwing him into a cell in bad condition ?

The game really implies it. But it still doesn't fit. He only writes that they are a "quiet lot". If those guys are the servants that have been there all the time, wouldn't he write something like "they are horrible disfigured creatures" or something?

But those guys in the morgue were servants too. And there was also a letter about the explosives in the storage.

"I can't stress enough how important it is that the mixture is handled with care. Please try to tell your featherbrained servants this before you go ahead with your plans."

Only "normal" humans would be able to handle those explosives. I mean, the monsters can't open doors and don't even have hands.

I think they were under orders to protect where Alexander told them to - and stop anyone from getting further. Eventually Alexander realizes what Daniel is attempting to do, and thus put Daniel into a cell as a sacrifice for the shadow. When he escapes, he becomes a real threat to Alex's plans. Thus the need to kill daniel again.

The Servants are unknown to be human formerly.
They were to catch humans for Alexander's experiments. See the "The Gatherers" memo. And Alexander's note "Regarding Closing of Wine Cellar".

Daniel has one memo about them too, about their scent.

Just try to read every note, flashback and so in the game. I can bring up from the language file, if that helps.

Because Alexander ordered them to bring Dan in prison? The game events states that clearly.

Please do. If you don't mind. Not that I don't believe you, I'd just like to read it myself.
