Did Walter become Millennium's servant by choice?


Walter tells Victoria that he was brainwashed and forcefully turned into
Millenium's minion, but then says that he attacks what remains of Hellsing by
his own free will. Bad characters usually mess with good ones, so it's not
clear how it really happened to him.

It's still shrouded in mystery, however, I think he wanted to battle against
Alucard in a fair fight, more than "betray" Integra or Hellsing.

He may have been brainwashed and he may have not, but it was very clear that
he wanted to beat Alucard in battle, and that the deal he made with Millennium
was made to achieve that goal.
