"You're not just a beast consumed by a lust for blood. You have a mind which can think and a heart which can love," is SUCH a great line and YES Olrox is THE character of all time who would ABSOLUTELY say something so beautiful as that all on his own... but allow me to propose to you some alternative scenarios:
It's something his late lover said to him. When they began developing feelings for each other, Olrox started to pull away for fear that he would only threaten the safety of him and his people. Countless hunters were presumably already trying to kill him at the time, he's living a kill-or-be-killed existence and fears that maybe he is a monster, maybe he's no good for him, etc. Maybe word is getting around that he's a vampire, this blood thirsty beast and there are murmurings about whether he has any place in his lover's community. All these thoughts spiralling until his lover takes his hand and assures him that he isn't any of those things. That he isn't afraid of him, that he is loved and capable of so much love.
It's something Alucard told him, when they first met. Olrox being kind of new to the whole vampirism thing, having a lot of dark thoughts about the fact that some Spanish colonizer turned him into a monster. His only exposure to vampires being the kind of people who destroyed his home and his life, whose greed and hunger for destruction and power are as insatiable as this new and strange thirst for blood—until he meets Alucard, who is so, so different. Alucard who assures him that being turned hasn't robbed him of his soul or his self. That he isn't destined to be like the men who did this to him. That he's more than what was done to him and can forge his own path, if he wills it.
It's something he said to his late lover. Maybe the possibility of turning him is something the two of them talked about. His lover considering it, but having that little bit of doubt as to just what it would truly mean to be a vampire. Or maybe it could have been after he'd been turned. Him adjusting to his new life and beginning to worry it was the wrong choice. And Olrox saying this to him to give him that reassurance that being a vampire could never rob him of all the things that make him so beautiful. That they can do this, that they can be happy. Together, like this. Forever. (So what if I'm a "his lover's turning was totally consensual" truther leave me alone)
It's a combination of 1+3 or 2+3 bc I like it when they say the thing three times in slightly different contexts 🫠🫠🫠
