List of Hellsing characters
"Hellsing" is a manga series written and illustrated by Kouta Hirano. It is about a powerful vampire named Alucard and his battle against supernatural forces in service of the Hellsing Organization. The manga has two animated adaptations. One is a television series by Gonzo, which was produced early in the manga's original run and is largely based on the original screenplay by Chiaki J. Konaka. The second, "Hellsing Ultimate", is an original video animation series produced by Geneon that closely follows the manga's storyline. The series takes place primarily in the United Kingdom, which  is under attack by the undead forces characterized as a rogue Nazi battalion which survived the end of World War II. The Hellsing Organization is portrayed as a clandestine British royal order in charge of defending the Empire from supernatural threats. The character Sir Integra Hellsing serves as its leader and commands a blood pact with Alucard, Hellsing's most powerful weapon, Alucard, is an ancient vampire character who was pressed into service by Integra's ancestor, Abraham Van Helsing, who founded the order. Alucard is accompanied by the character Seras Victoria, a young policewoman whom Alucard turns into a  vampire at the beginning of the series. Hellsing is opposed by Millennium, characterized as a remnant of the Waffen-SS which escaped to South America with its research about vampires and the occult. The war-obsessed Major leads Millennium's army of artificially created vampires in an assault on London. Between the two powers is Vatican Section XIII, the Iscariot Organization, a secret Catholic order of assassins which also specializes in combating the supernatural. Enrico Maxwell is the character who leads the organization and Alexander Anderson, a paladin with accelerated healing, is its strongest asset. Many of the characters in  Hellsing were based on concepts from Hirano's prior works as a freelance manga artist. The characters of "Hellsing" have been praised by reviewers and have maintained an enduring presence in cosplay at anime conventions. Main characters. The main characters at the start of the series are members of the Hellsing Organization. Alucard. is the most powerful vampire who serves the Hellsing Organization. He is the most powerful character in the series, rivaled only by The Captain and Alexander Anderson. Originally, he was Count Dracula. After his defeat by Abraham Van Helsing, he becomes his servant. Alucard is an exceedingly  lethal combatant even when unarmed, due to his extensive supernatural abilities and strength, but he also uses various weapons in battle. These have included swords, machine guns, and traditional vampire-slaying tools such as stakes and crosses. Alucard also has two signature weapons: a pair of intimidating, high powered semi-automatic handguns named the .454 Casull and the Jackal. Seras Victoria. is a policewoman who is turned into a vampire at the beginning of the series, and then serves as Alucard's assistant, dubbed "Police Girl". Often, she is at odds with Alucard due to his preference for bloodshed and  her refusal to fully accept her vampirism. She acts as the viewpoint character in the series. A character similar to Seras, named Yuri Kate was present in its prototype version, "The Legends of Vampire Hunter". Profile. In the series, Seras was originally a police officer who, along with the rest of her squad, was sent into the village of Cheddar, where a vampire had taken control of the town and turned its inhabitants into "ghouls" (zombies controlled by vampires). She was taken hostage by that priest vampire. Before shooting through her to kill the rogue vampire, Alucard offers to turn  Seras into a vampire to save her from dying. She chooses vampirism, as with virgin blood she will become a vampire rather than a ghoul. Characterized as a very brave, strong-willed and heroic young woman who often rejects her master's orders if they conflict with her personal beliefs. However, she is a loyal and trustworthy soldier who will diligently follow her commander's orders, provided they have proven their worth. Seras' father, also a police officer, "got in too deep" during an undercover mission. The group he had infiltrated traced him back to his home and brutally murdered  him. Seras' mother hid her in a closet and walked out to face the criminals, who immediately killed her as well. A distraught Seras charged out and stabbed one of the criminals in the eye with a fork, before being shot in the gut and thrown against a bloodstained wall. The flashback ends with Seras seeing glimpses of the criminals having sex with her mother's corpse. After the ordeal in her orphanage, a scene showed her throw a stone at another child for taking a toy she was playing with. Near the end of the flashback, Seras is told  she may be relocated if her violence continues, as the orphanage may not be able to care for her any longer. There, she expresses her strongest wish—to become a police officer. Weapons. Seras' signature weapon is the Hellsing ARMS Anti-Midian Cannon "Harkonnen". Weighing unloaded, this 30 mm, single-shot, break action, breech loader cannon uses various types of shells, including depleted uranium with silver for piercing armored targets, and incendiary napalm rounds for destroying large groups of opponents both on land and in the air. Only a vampire can carry and use this weapon. Her immense strength also  allows Seras to use the Harkonnen while moving. In the manga, she wields it with an extraordinary ease, even firing over her shoulder. Before obtaining the Harkonnen, Seras used a smaller rifle, firing 13.7 mm rounds, as is seen written on the gun in the original video animation (OVA). In the manga this gun is unnamed but the letters "BAERLKS" are spelled out on its side; in the OVA, however, the gun has Harkonnen written there instead. Later on, for the purpose of defending Hellsing HQ, Seras uses the Extra Long-Range Bombardment Firearm system for Localized defensive use "Harkonnen  Cannon II". It has a gross weight of and sported a pair of 30 mm auto cannons belt-fed from two large ammunition boxes carried on her back. Its maximum range was and could snipe fast moving missiles and even shoot down Millennium airships. For additional firepower, the cannons could double as a grenade launcher, launching an immense explosive incendiary grenades for wide-area field dominance "Vladimir" from each barrel. Due to Seras's vampire strength, she could move around with the system with relative ease after she discarded the massive ammo boxes. Although she loses her weapons during the  confrontation with Zorin, relying instead on her "Shadow Arm", Seras makes use of firearms again during the confrontation with the Captain, using a pair of MG-42 Machine Guns salvaged from dead Millennium soldiers. In OVA X, she even used a Flak gun to destroy a bullet-proof glass wall that protected The Major. Seras' weapons are named after the main antagonist of Frank Herbert's novel "Dune", Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. This is further reinforced by the appearance of the gun's "spirit" during dream sequences in the manga (and thus OVA) and episode previews in the anime; the spirit in  question bears a strong resemblance to Baron Harkonnen from David Lynch's film adaptation of the novel. TV series version. The TV series version changes numerous details of Seras' backstory, and changes her importance. While Alucard and Integra are the central characters of the manga, the anime focuses more on Seras' point of view, and her struggle to come to terms with her new life as a vampire. Her darker side, seen in the manga and the OVA series, is not present in the anime series. However, it is notable that her hair is orange and her eyes become red  as soon as Alucard makes her a vampire. She also starts drinking the medical blood after watching Alucard feed off Kim (the reporter from episodes 2 and 4) No difference is shown in her appearance or behavior, other than her hair, eyes, and suit color, which is primarily yellow in the manga and OVA, is primarily blue in the TV series. The combat boots she wears are black in the manga, anime, OVA, and TV series. However, after she becomes a full vampire, her uniform turns red with matching red, shredded stockings, red boots, and white gloves and red eyes  and gingery-blonde hair. Her affiliation with the English police is also different. In the manga, Seras is a solitary constable assigned to Cheddar, but in the OVA, she is partnered with two male officers, Simon and Eddie. Both men were turned into ghouls by the priest vampire. The TV series, however, has her placed in Division 11, the precursor to Specialist Firearms Command SO19 team sent to Cheddar to combat the vampire. Seras' D-11 teammates often watch out for her, affectionately referring to her as "Kitten". Seras' entire D-11 team is turned into ghouls, either by the priest vampire  or the other ghouls roaming Cheddar. In the manga and OVA, Seras confronts the priest vampire outside, while in the TV series she does so inside the village church. Owing to the vastly different TV series' continuity after episode 7, the interaction with Pip Bernadotte is not included. Instead, Seras must struggle with the temptation to drink Alucard's blood, thus fully realizing her vampiric powers, something she does in the final episode of the anime. She drinks his blood, but does not show the power increase she shows in the manga/ova, possibly because Alucard is dead when she  drinks the blood. Incognito says that, "Even if you drank every last drop of your master off the tower, you will never become a true Nosferatu. You're running out of blood, and soon you will run out. You're already dead, there's nothing for you to be afraid of any more." Integra Hellsing. is a 22-year-old noblewoman member of the Protestant Knights who is the head and last member of the Hellsing family, the Bureau Director of the Hellsing Organization, and the current master of Hellsing's vampire, Alucard. Integra is usually emotionally collected, rarely allowing  them to get in the way of business. However, she is sometimes prone to fits of anger. The Hellsing family is "on a mission from God", and she values her duties to protect the United Kingdom and the Anglican Church above everything else. For her, failure is not tolerated, especially her own. She runs the Hellsing Organization with charisma and patriotism, and she is one of the few people who can stand up to the force of Alucard's personality and command his respect. As a child she develops a deep sense of duty to Hellsing, not standing for anything  that may threaten her or her organization. Being the first matriarch of Hellsing, it is evident she struggles to maintain respect from members of the Queen's government known as The Round Table. They often question her judgment. On one occasion in "Hellsing Ultimate II" they scold Integra, tell her the loss of her men was her fault, and it is her responsibility to lay these men to rest. In this moment Integra shows a great act of responsibility, corrects her servants when they speak to defend her, takes full responsibility. Then with an absolute reserve in emotion and a  very solemn expression, she shoots each of her men who had been turned into ghouls as an act of mercy and humility. After this she and the round house seem to have better relations, especially with one member with whom her father had contact. They seem to realize she is more than capable towards the end of the series when she proves herself so on many occasions. The first time viewers see real emotion in her is as a young child in the first episode of the OVA. This aspect gives Integra a very human but respectable quality and makes  her a very strong heroine. A prototype of her character appears characterized as a Nazi in one of Hirano's earlier works, "Hiandlow". Walter C. Dornez. is a member of the Hellsing Organization who also serves as the Hellsing family retainer. His ability to use high-velocity monomolecular wires with incredible skill and precision earned him the nickname the "Angel of Death". Walter lives with the Hellsing family, perhaps for his entire life. It is revealed Walter was educated at Balliol College, Oxford (where Arthur Hellsing and Sir Hugh Irons were educated) after World War II, and read philosophy and  politics. During the events of "", Walter accompanied Alucard (in the body of a little girl) in the storming Millennium's base during World War II in Warsaw, Poland where they put end to the organization's first attempt at create an army of artificial vampires. However, due to his fears of being forgotten and The Major drafting him after witnessing his abilities, Walter becomes an agent of Millennium within the Hellsing Organization's infrastructure in the aftermath of World War II. In modern times, having apparently arranged Integra Hellsing to unseal Alucard, Walter carries on his duties as the current  Hellsing head butler while providing special weapons for use by Alucard and Seras Victoria. Despite being in his 70s, Walter can still fight his way through hordes of the living while helping Integra make numerous difficult choices when Alucard harms innocent humans in order to achieve mission objectives. While he appears to accept his age with proud resignation, it is a façade to hide his fear of being useless and desire to be a true Angel of Death. Once Millennium begins its attack on London, Walter is retrieved by its Captain to be made into an artificial vampire to prepare  for his fight against Alucard. Though it restores him to how he appeared in his 30s, Walter's vampirism is hastily conducted as he lacks the ability to regenerate normally like the Last Battalion. Instead he becomes younger over time before he eventually dies. Appearing while crushing what remains of the deceased Alexander Anderson underfoot, Walter slaughters Yumi before facing Alucard in a duel. Having regressed to his teenaged state as he reveals he has risked everything to prove his worth against the vampire, Walter loses his chance as he is forced to watch Alucard fall into The Major's  trap and cease to be after unknowingly absorbing Schrödinger. Entering the "Hindenburg II" after dealing with the vengeful Heinkel Wolfe, Walter kills the Doctor before being consumed in the inferno caused by the zeppelin's explosion. Walter's prototype was in "Daidōjin Monogatari" alongside Heinkel. Powers and abilities. Although a human for most of his life, Walter possesses tremendous combat skill on par with or exceeding many supernatural beings. During the initial Millennium assault on Hellsing, he dispatches a large force of ghouls with ease and confidently engages an artificial vampire. Also, during the first attempted Millennium takeover of Sir  Penwood's military compound, he manages to defeat an entire unit of artificial vampires armed with automatic weapons without taking a single step. As a 14-year-old boy, he manages to hold his own against The Captain for a good portion of their fight. His headbutt to The Captain's face actually injures the werewolf, and he is even quick enough to wrap his wires around The Captain's neck (though neither attack has any lasting effect). In particular, he is able to withstand punches from The Captain, even though an impact resulting from Seras and The Captain punching  each other's fists at the same time blew off both their arms. This opens the possibility that Walter has some physical enhancement as a human; a punch to the head or gut from The Captain would kill any normal human and probably most vampires, yet Walter withstands both one after the other; it is possible this is simply an inconsistency in the writing. Alternately, it is possible The Captain's later enhancements are much improved over those from 1944. (However, judging from the fact that Walter's wires had exactly the same effect on him in 1944 as they  did in 1999, this is rather unlikely). His speed and agility are of particular note, and even in his old age he is able to dodge bullets from assault rifles. In his youth, Walter displays great acrobatic skill and even as a senior citizen he can still perform exceptional feats of balance and coordination. His strength is also considerable. When the transformed Walter first appears in the manga, his micro-filaments wrap around several buildings and slice them in half, with no evidence of any physical strain on Walter's part. Walter's primary weapons are a set of very  long microfilament razor wires, which he controls as if they were extensions of his own body. The wires are sharp enough to slice through steel and concrete with ease though he can use them to bind and restrain targets without damaging them. He can also create extensive movements of the wires with very little bodily movement; a simple hand gesture enables him to cut down scores of foes. When turned into an artificial vampire by Millennium, all of his abilities are restored to their full extent and augmented far beyond it. In his final battle with Alucard, he demonstrates previously  unseen abilities with his wires, including stopping a high fall (slicing several buildings in half in the process), forming mesh shields to block bullets, and binding targets and controlling them as puppets. Formidable as his new form is, the rushed and flawed transformation procedure renders his body highly unstable. This manifests by his growing increasingly younger until he resembles his fourteen-year-old self. At this point, he can no longer withstand bodily harm, and later his right arm crumbles. In his final moments before dying, he reverts to his original aged body. Pip Bernadotte. is a French man with  an eye patch over his left eye. He is from a long line of mercenaries and leader of the Wild Geese. His ancestors were members in for six generations. While experienced with the AK-74 as his weapon of choice, Bernadotte can be a narrow-minded womanizer with a compulsive smoking habit. Bernadotte and the Wild Geese are hired by Walter after Hellsing's military form is slaughtered by the Valentine Brothers and their Ghouls. While Bernadotte initially refuses to believe in vampires during his first debrief, he is quickly put in his place when Seras nearly breaks his skull by  merely flicking him with her fore-finger. Soon after, flirty with Seras on a regular basis, Bernadotte supports Alucard and Seras during their mission in Brazil where Pip and Seras start to bond. During Millennium's attack on London, Bernadotte and his men suffer losses as they and Seras attempt to defend Hellsing manor from Zorin Blitz's forces. Though already severely injured, Bernadotte tries to save Seras from Zorin before the Millennium member impales him. After finally getting Seras to kiss him, Bernadotte tells her to suck his blood to save herself by awakening her full vampire abilities. The  act results with Bernadotte becoming Seras' Familiar as his memories enable her to resist Zorin's attack before killing her. Later, during Seras' fight with The Captain, Bernadotte makes his presence known as he advises Seras in her fight before manifesting from her body to land the deathblow for his Seras. In the series' epilogue, as Heinkel hurts Bernadotte so the other Iscariot members can see, it is revealed that Seras has Bernadotte's function as the restored Hellsing manor's security system in the form of a shadowy mass covering the estate. Iscariot. The Iscariot Organization, also known as  Vatican Section XIII, is characterized as a top-secret wing of the Vatican charged with the active pursuit and extermination of supernatural entities and heretics. Iscariot, a Catholic, organization, has a bitter rivalry with the Hellsing Organization, as it is Protestant in nature like the rest of London. During Hellsing's battle against Millennium's invasion of London, Iscariot follows suit as part of a power-mad Enrico Maxwell's scheme to wipe out both factions as well as Londoners caught in the crossfire. However, due to Alucard's familiars wiping out Maxwell and his amassed army, followed by the  deaths of Father Anderson and Yumie, Iscariot loses much of its strength. It is decades before the organization is strong enough to rival Hellsing again with Makube as the new leader and Heinkel the new top enforcer. Alexander Anderson. is a paladin within Iscariot, serving as its trump card against Alucard, who refers to him as his nemesis. The reason for this is Anderson's body is genetically modified to be a Regenerator, a superhuman able to fight supernatural creatures. Anderson's mission as a monster hunter, which reflects his own personal beliefs, is also the destruction of Alucard and  the Hellsing organization. Anderson's arsenal includes blessed bayonets and the use of holy barriers to corner his quarry. He has a Scottish accent in the English adaptations of the manga and anime series, but canonically his nationality is unknown; he lives in Italy, where he operates an orphanage. Appearance. Alexander Anderson's character has short, spiky blond hair (grey in the manga), brown/tanned skin, green eyes (blue in the manga), a heavy-set squared jaw, and constant stubble. He also has a large, wedge-shaped scar on his left cheek. In the first televised anime series, he was  depicted with prominent, sharp canines, possibly to heighten his resemblance to a vampire and make him a symbolic counterpart to Alucard, the "tame monster" of the Hellsing Organization. Anderson is quite an imposing man, being very tall (slightly taller than Alucard, who himself is over in height and lean with broad shoulders. He wears round glasses, a large grey cassock (has purple trim in the TV series and white trim with blue interior in the OVA), grey pants (black in the OVA and white in the TV series), black boots, a black shirt (black with blue trim in the OVA  and white in the TV series), a clerical collar (absent from both of the anime series), white gloves, and a silver cross (which often glows gold in the OVA) around his neck. On his gloves, there are inscriptions written across the crosses drawn on the back: In the manga, these inscriptions change sometimes, in Anderson's later appearances his gloves read "Iscariot Section XIII", the organization to which Anderson belongs. The character Father Barre portrayed by Michael Gothard, an exorcist and wild instigator depicted in Ken Russell's "The Devils" (1971) (a dramatization of Urbain Grandier), has been cited as  a possible inspiration for Father Anderson. Personality. Alexander Anderson normally appears as a calm and collected priest; he works at an orphanage in the manga and OVA and acts very kindly towards the children under his care. During battles, however, he reveals a darker side. He has an obsession for what appears to be his "crusade," and compulsively quotes passages of the Holy Bible as he speaks. He is extremely determined to achieve his end, however, he abhors the methods chosen by Maxwell to put it in motion. In battle, he is merciless and almost unstoppable due to his abilities . He has a habit of hissing during fights, and often loses control of himself much like Alucard. Despite this, he can stop himself and focus on his mission. He has a measure of self-restraint when innocents like tourists are caught in the middle or when someone has caught his admiration as Integra did. Beliefs. Alexander Anderson is characterized as an ardent Catholic. His words and his constant quoting of scripture indicate a clear, almost fanatical obedience towards "the word of God". His behavior in the first volume was depicted as an intense Catholic priest, who went as far as  calling Integra "Babylon", as a reference to Whore of Babylon and, like Maxwell, displayed an immense hatred for Protestants. In the first episode of "Hellsing Ultimate", some of Anderson's statements heavily imply a fanatical hatred for all non-Catholics. Anderson tells a pair of young boys they should only engage in violence against "monsters and non-believers". He comments to his superiors it is fortunate that a large vampire population must be killing many English Protestants. Anderson resents England's control over Northern Ireland, which he believes is Catholic territory, and states it is his mission to kill unbelievers . In the TV series, "Order 3: Sword Dancer", Paladin Alexander Anderson's actions are vaguely relativist. He ignores his true mission and instead focuses on the basic requirements of his crusade; thus, attacking Seras Victoria, Alucard and killing Captain Gareth of the Hellsing Organization, though Gareth was a human being and attempting to exterminate the same target as Alexander Anderson. While his orders from Iscariot specified the extermination of a single rogue vampire, he engages in combat with Alucard as well. In the manga (and by extension the OVA, which is closer to the manga than the TV series), however , his character is much more complex. He shows a greater sense of morality both in his treatment of the orphans under his care. His eventual assistance to Integra and betrayal of Enrico Maxwell (who becomes drunk with power and starts killing innocent humans), is quite unlike the TV series Anderson who is portrayed as little more than a mindless, psychotic killer. His complexity in the manga is later demonstrated by his respect for Integra's conviction and for Seras' bravery. Specifically, he agrees to escort Integra to Hellsing HQ, because it would be impolite to leave a lady to walk  there alone. Anderson tells the members of Iscariot to retreat from battle when Alucard releases his familiars. He wants them to live on and protect the Catholic religion, as he believes there are already enough souls in limbo. He also appears to have a form of respect for Alucard, shouting, "The black peril comes!" while laughing as Alucard enters the Thames at the end of Volume 7. In his final moments, Anderson consoled his grieving rival in his own way, telling him that monsters do not cry. In the TV series, Alucard refers to Anderson as a "dog of the  Church" and is neither human nor monster. He is therefore incapable of killing him; only a human can do that. In the manga and OVA, however, Alucard shows great respect for Anderson and goes so far as to compare him to the men who were able to defeat Dracula (Integra's grandfather, Abraham Van Helsing and the other men from Bram Stoker's Dracula). He says although they were mere humans they possessed the will to destroy a monster such as Alucard. This changes, however, when Anderson chooses to use the Nail of Helena on himself to become a monster  on an equal level to Alucard. At this point Alucard rules that Anderson, having sacrificed all of his humanity in exchange for power, is no longer worthy of destroying him and that Anderson must be killed. Alucard had previously stated he would be proud to die in battle against Anderson, but clearly Anderson forfeited that right by turning himself into a monster rather than a (regenerating) human. Abilities. In battle, Alexander Anderson is often depicted using scores of blessed bayonets presumably made of silver as well as smaller blades which are held between his fingers like claws. He is shown  to have extraordinary physical abilities, including strength, speed, and stamina. He is shown using pages from bibles as barriers to ward off vampire movement, and also appears to be able to teleport himself amongst clouds of bible pages. Anderson is a "Regenerator", meaning he utilizes Iscariot-developed technology that allows him to restore body parts that are lost and heal himself (this ability does not work in his battle with Alucard in OVA part 8, due to Alucard injuring him with the Jackal - an oversized pistol especially designed to be used against "Regenerators"). When using the nail of Helena his  body becomes a mass of thorns and his healing factor has become more advance to the point it rivals Alucard's as well as burning unholy beings enhanced his strength and speed. The cost is however is losing his self as it caused him to become a mindless plant monster and can only be killed by removing his nail pierced heart where he returned to normal before dying. He is also shown to be a more charismatic and more morally right as a leader compared to Maxwell. History. The early history of Alexander Anderson, such as when he joined Iscariot  or what his childhood life was like, is largely unknown. Supposedly his history is revealed in the manga "Angel Dust", however, given that Hirano has not made any definite links to his past works this is uncertain. He first appears in "Hellsing Volume 1", when he is convinced by Father Renaldo to travel to Northern Ireland to deal with Alucard and Seras Victoria who are hunting a vampire. Believing that Northern Ireland is Catholic land and Protestant England has no jurisdiction there, Anderson agrees and travels there. He confronts Alucard, cutting off his head and chasing Seras through the building  they are in. He catches up to her and is stopped by Integra just as he is about to kill her. Anderson says he will not back down against a "Protestant whore" and swiftly kills Integra's bodyguards. Before he can kill Integra, Alucard regenerates himself and engages Anderson. Anderson retreats when he realizes he can not defeat Alucard with his current weapons and teleports away, shouting: "We'll meet again, Hellsing! Next time, I'll butcher you all". Anderson also appears in "Crossfire". Anderson appears in Volume 2 with Enrico Maxwell, the head of Iscariot to discuss with Integra  about the instigator of the attack on the Hellsing manor led by Luke and Jan Valentine. Alucard appears after Maxwell insults Integra. Maxwell responds by calling Anderson into play. Before they can start another duel, Alucard and Anderson are interrupted by Seras leading a group of elderly Japanese tourists (possibly because of some agreement with Walter that Alucard would not destroy the museum, since the two smiled at each other after everyone had gone). The two decide to postpone their fight. Anderson leaves, commenting on the quality of the museum asking Maxwell if next time he could bring some of  the orphans to visit. In an almost humorously agitated manner, he then swears he will rip Alucard to pieces the next time they meet. In Volume 3, Anderson is seen briefly watching the fight between Tubalcain Alhambra and Alucard on television. In Volume 4, Anderson is sent to deliver a message to Alucard and Seras to return to London and report on the Millennium Organization. He fails to accomplish this task without first getting into a brief fistfight with Alucard. Afterward, he engages in battle with some paramilitaries sympathetic to the Millennium cause. In Volume 6, after The Major declares  war against England, Anderson brings the rest of Iscariot with him there and saves Integra from a group of Nazi vampires. When Heinkel Wolfe attempts to apprehend her, Integra disagrees and asks Anderson if this is permissible; Anderson says it is not. He instructs Iscariot to escort Integra back to the Hellsing manor. Later, in Volume 7, Maxwell arrives in England with the remnants of the armies used in the Holy Crusades and takes the opportunity to kill all English "heretics". Seeing this, Anderson believes Enrico has quit serving God and now only serves his own power. When Heinkel informs  Anderson of Iscariot's new orders to take Integra prisoner, Anderson expresses his displeasure. Before he can act against the rest of Iscariot, Seras arrives with her new powers awakened and does it for him. Anderson acknowledges her newfound power, telling Heinkel that Seras was not something the ordinary members of Iscariot could hope to fight any longer. In Volume 8, Anderson engages in what he considers the final confrontation with Alucard. He is wounded severely by Alucard's Jackal, a weapon unfamiliar to Anderson. Trapped in a mesh of undead, Anderson is saved by the remnants of Section XIII . Anderson then reveals the weapon that Vatican Section III Matthew had provided him with: Helena's Nail. Alucard begs Anderson not to become a monster like himself. Anderson ignores this warning, impaling himself with the nail and transforming. He is transformed into a kind of thorn like monster version of himself, still appearing as human. But any time that he is injured, his body is revealed to be a living mesh of thorns and vines held together and self-regenerating. They battle, with Anderson-monster nearly destroying Alucard, before Seras intervenes. Although it could be that Alucard actually allows Anderson -monster to attack due to being in deep shock himself—as he had hoped Anderson to be a worthy human opponent for "releasing" the vampire from his eternal "dream". This version is supported given Alucard's response to Seras' cry: "Quit screaming, police-girl. I perfectly hear your voice." This is followed by immediate and effortless victory over Anderson-monster in Volume 9, where after healing, Alucard psychically dissolves the thorns surrounding him and shatters Anderson's blade. Alucard then charges Anderson and, plunging his hand into Anderson's chest, removes the nail along with Anderson's heart. This destroys  most of Anderson's body in the process. As Anderson dies, he and Alucard exchange words. What remains of Anderson decays and turns to ash. In Volume 10, he appears alongside Maxwell in an "omake". Enrico Maxwell. is the character who is the fanatical leader of the Vatican's Special Section XIII, the Iscariot Organization. Enrico controls his organization with an iron fist. However, his seemingly blind devotion to his mission often makes his underling Alexander Anderson question his motivations. As a small child, Enrico lived at Ferdinand Luke's, an orphanage outside Rome where Anderson lived and worked. His  parents had abandoned him, likely because he was the "son of a mistress". Though Anderson tried to raise him as well as he could, Enrico remained angry and spiteful. He grew determined to become someone that people could not look down on. Maxwell also appears in "Crossfire" extras. During the standoff between Alucard and the Millennium led police force in Rio de Janeiro, Anderson watches the scene unfold on the news with a sense of indignation and fury. Enrico seems to revel in the ensuing violence. He has a bitter rivalry with Integra Hellsing, Bureau Director of the Hellsing Organization , due to their similar occupations and differing ideologies. Enrico seems to suffer from a facial tic characterized by repeated wincing of his left eye, much to the amusement of fans. He also appears to drool while he sleeps. His prototype was in Angel Dust alongside Anderson. After being promoted to the rank of bishop, Enrico is very quickly promoted again to archbishop by the Pope in light of Millennium's attack on London with a force of 3,000 Templars. However, Enrico becomes drunk with power as he orders his crusaders to slaughter London's Protestant survivors alongside Millennium and Hellsing . Eventually, Enrico witnesses his army being destroyed by Alucard's familiars before his helicopter was shot down by Rip Van Winkle. Though the armored glass protects him from the fall, Maxwell's protection from the amassing familiars is shattered by Anderson after deeming the man's selfish ambitions as a threat to the Vatican. Maxwell's determination proves to be his hamartia as he ends up dying of impalement in the same way that he had lived, alone. Alexander then finds the body of the boy he raised and stops Alucard from absorbing his soul. He leaves his body in  a place away from the danger as a final act of kindness to his former charge. In the manga, Maxwell has blonde hair and blue eyes, while both animated versions give him silver hair. He has green eyes in the TV series and violet eyes in the OVA series. Heinkel Wolfe. is an androgynous German assassin and priest within the Iscariot organization. She is partnered with her childhood friend Yumie under Alexander Anderson. Heinkel's weapons of choice are pistols. While she first appeared as a bodyguard for Enrico Maxwell, Heinkel later leads a brigade of Catholic priests sent to  apprehend Integra during Millennium's attack on London. As a result, Heinkel witnesses the death of Father Anderson before she attempts to avenge Yumi and is killed by Walter C. Dornez. But Heinkel is wounded after The Captain shoots a bullet through her cheeks as his way of telling her not to interfere in Walter's fight with Alucard. Despite the warning, and having taken The Captain's mercy and medical aid as an insult, a furious Heinkel refuses to quell her desire to avenge Yumie. She takes a Dragunov SVD sniper rifle with the intent to kill Walter. However , while Walter initially allows her to fire to her heart's content, Heinkel finds herself crippled by the artificial vampire after he slices her arm and leg off. Though rescued by Iscariot, the ordeal makes Heinkel violent and impulsive. Heinkel appears in the "Crossfire" extras in the first three volumes with Yumie before their debut to the main story. However, Crossfire is eventually declared not canon to the Hellsing series. Heinkel's prototype is in "Daidōjin Monogatari" with Walter. Yumie Takagi. is a katana-wielding Japanese nun. The character is a fanatical Catholic and seems genuinely to enjoy killing people  using her almost superhuman sword skills alongside her childhood friend Heinkel. Yumie knows various Batto-jutsu (sword drawing) techniques and is adept enough to kill even from outside the room where her victim is. She is also quite capable of smashing men's heads into walls with her bare hands. During Millennium's attack on London, after witnessing Walter C. Dornez desecrating Father Anderson's remains, Yumie attempts to cut him down. However, she is outmatched and cut into pieces by Walter's wires. Yumie appears in the "Crossfire" manga along with a split personality known as . In contrast to  Yumie, the Yumiko persona is shy and timid. Yumiko comments on how hard it is for her to "get Yumie to sleep" after she has been provoked into action. The two personalities switch by dueling for control inside their mind. Yumiko takes off her glasses to trigger the change, which can also occur after a strong blow to the head. "Yumiko" does not appear to exist in the main "Hellsing" continuity. Her prototype is in Hi and Low alongside Integra's. Renaldo. Renaldo is an old Iscariot member who debuts in Volume 1 informing Anderson of a vampire attack. He  appears later with Maxwell in Volumes 2 and 4. He appears in a flashback in volume 8 talking to Maxwell where he will be raised by Anderson. He also appears in the omake in Volume 7. Renaldo is also the only Iscariot member to appear in the TV series alongside Anderson and Maxwell. Renaldo's prototype was in Magic School. Makube. Makube is the leader of Iscariot for 30 years in the final volume. Not much is known about him other than that he appears to be aware of the supernatural. He also appears to be more level-headed than  Maxwell. He has more patience than his predecessor and seems to have more of a friendly rivalry with Integra. His prototype is from Hirano's earliest works—a character named Azaraku from "Susume Seigaku". Millennium. Millennium () is a fictional Nazi organization from the manga series "Hellsing" by Kouta Hirano. They serve as the primary antagonists in the series. The name is a reference to the "Thousand Year Reich" which Adolf Hitler sought to establish during World War II. Within the series, the mysterious group pools its resources after the war and, with substantial help from the Vatican, is able to  relocate to Brazil and go into hiding. The organization is led initially by a cabal of ex-SS officers known as the Old Men of the Opera House, before they were executed by the Major and his followers. Millennium's researchers discover a way to transform humans into vampires through unknown means (although it is suggested that some kind of surgery is involved), and monitors them using implanted computer chips. Most of its members are monsters of some sort, or have found a way to prolong their lives. The Major. The is the main antagonist and the leader of Millennium . He is a short, calculating and utterly ruthless Nazi officer whose unremarkable appearance and polite demeanor mask a psychopathic mind that delights in all forms of cruelty and carnage. He commands with a good-natured attitude, which can change in a moment to cruelty or grandiose elation. Through the intelligence Enrico Maxwell obtains from a corrupt priest he interrogated, the Major is believed to have been born between 1913 and 1914. According to his prototype character in another of Kohta Hirano's earlier works called "Coyote", where he was named Montana Max, it is implied the Major grew up in  a troubled home with an alcoholic father and a prostitute mother who received clients in their home. After his father's death, the Major's mother continues providing sexual services for various men before he murders her and a client with his father's pistol. Afterwards, he wanders the streets until he is recruited by Adolf Hitler to join the Nazi party. As first lieutenant of the Schutzstaffel (SS) and leader of a Werwolf special force, the Major is issued special order #666 directly from Hitler to create an army of vampires. This instigates the founding of Millennium whose members  use Mina's blood to perfect artificial vampirization. This allows the Nazis to win the Second World War and establish the Thousand Year Reich. He first encounters vampirism after being beaten within an inch of his life by Soviet soldiers. He witnesses blood moving towards him in hopes of being drunk, and repels its corruption with nothing but sheer will and determination. After suffering mortal injuries as a consequence of young Walter Dornez and Alucard coming to Warsaw in 1944, the Major suffers from an apathy the immortality vampires possess. The cost is the loss of individuality that is something  he cannot accept. He comes to see Alucard as his mortal enemy. From there, assuming a different form of immortality by becoming a clockwork cyborg, the Major recruits Walter before he and his subordinates resume their work in South America. The Major then steps down as leader of Millennium, handing the reins to the Old Men while he and the Doctor continue their experiments. However, by the beginning of the series' events, the Major has altered Millennium's goal to be a means to start a war without end. After he and his vampire followers execute the Old Men  of the Opera House for attempting to usurp their authority, the Major openly declares war on Hellsing and England as he brings the "Hindenburg II" to London. Eventually, having waited for her to become a worthy enough adversary, the Major invites Integra Hellsing to face him. From there, the Major reveals his attack on London is nothing more but a formulated plan to end Alucard. After Alucard is apparently defeated by his plan, an attack by Seras reveals the Major's cybernetic modifications. He explains he is still human because of his own will. He then reveals his hatred for  Alucard comes from the fact that while the Major is a man who looks like a monster, Alucard is a monster who looks like a man. He believes Alucard to be an inferior being for having given up his humanity. Despite Integra shooting him in the head, the Major dies with a smile on his face because he took out her eye. He also achieved his goals of a grand war and Alucard's apparent demise at the cost of three million lives. However, Alucard's revival and the swift end of Millennium's war following the Major's death  make it clear that his sacrifices are for nothing in the end. The Doctor. , his name tag reads "Avondale Napyeer" in Volume 3, is Millennium's top scientist in the fields of physiology and technology, and the genius behind many of their projects. An unstable and eccentric genius, the Doctor digs up the body of Mina Harker, code named "The Shi", from her grave to create a Nazi vampire army out of 1,000 volunteers in the Letztes Battalion. The Doctor also saves the Major's life in the aftermath of "Hellsing: The Dawn". He is also the creator of Schrödinger  whom he frequently scolds. After the Major dies, the Doctor attempts to flee the exploding "Hinderburg II" to rebuild his research before being confronted by a dying Walter. Vexed by Walter accusing him of being a fraud, the Doctor attempts to detonate the explosive charge in the youth before losing his limbs and hitting the ground while dragging the curtain covering Mina's skeleton. Seeing Mina's skeleton, noting the woman's history and her possessing faint traces of Alucard's being in her bones, Walter notes the Doctor can create imitations before crushing the scientist to death under debris . His prototype was in Doc's story. The Captain. The is a character in the manga "Hellsing" and a member of the Millennium forces and the Waffen-SS. The Captain is The Major's silent, stoic adjutant and bodyguard. Unlike The Major and Lieutenant Rip van Winkle, he still wears a full uniform in the main story, which is similar to an M42 Greatcoat with its neckguard constantly turned up, and an M43 officer's cap emblazoned with the Totenkopf symbol. The Captain is a natural werewolf, able to transform at will and fight in either human, werewolf or wolf  form. He is the second highest-ranking member of Millennium, but it is implied that he does not believe Millennium's ideology and merely wants to find someone capable of killing him. Abilities and Weapons. The Captain possesses immense superhuman ability, even while in human form. This includes: superhuman senses, strength (strong enough to bend steel bars or shatter limbs with a single kick), speed, reflexes/reactions, agility, dexterity, flexibility, coordination, balance, and endurance. His iron-like flesh can withstand Walter's wires (which can easily slice solid steel), even as they are tightened around his bare neck. He seems  to be able to fall great distances without sustaining any damage, as seen in Chapter 58, "Wizardry (2)". The Captain has some regenerative ability, as he quickly regenerates his mutilated hand in "The Dawn". Being a real life "wolf-man", he also has the ability to transform into white, fur-like mist similar to Alucard and is shown on several scenes growing fur. In addition to his natural abilities, The Captain possesses two modified Mauser C96s with long barrels, and a combat knife though he never uses it. History. In the yet unfinished prequel story "Hellsing: The Dawn ", a mysterious  SS officer character fights a fourteen-year-old Walter C. Dornez as well as Alucard during an 1944 attack on Millennium's main research facility in Warsaw during World War II. He squares off with Walter and manages to resist his wires, then choke him into submission before the fight is interrupted by Alucard. Alucard, on the other hand, backs out after getting kicked in half by The Captain, and leaves Walter to fend for himself while chasing The Major. It is believed, based on information in the main storyline, that Walter comes to an agreement with Millennium and leaves  the compound, having seemingly aided in the destruction of the early undead soldier project. However, there is no official word that explicitly confirms or denies this yet. Later that year, The Captain participates in the infamous Malmedy massacre on December 17, during the Battle of the Bulge. (Based on a photograph in Chapter 82.) From a photograph taken on the 20th, he and The Major are still in the Ardennes area. (On the backcover of Volume 3.) He ultimately travels with the rest of Millennium to South America and remains in hiding for decades. Over 55 years later, The Captain  is sent to retrieve Walter for a certain process, during the invasion of England in 1999. As Walter and Integra Hellsing attempt to drive back to Hellsing HQ, Walter spots The Captain blocking the road and approaching them. Walter then urges his master to flee and attacks The Captain with his wires. The Captain catches them in his hands, and it looks like this would lead into a great duel. The duel is never shown, however, leading fans to speculate about The Captain and Walter's relationship and Walter's loyalties. Later on, The Captain leaps from The Major's  zeppelin to confront Alucard with Alexander Anderson. He is surprised by Alucard's "counter-attack" and backs off for the time being. Several facts about this man are revealed in later chapters of "The Dawn": Although he is seen in Chapter 68, "Might and Magic (2)", with long strands of hair forming on his face, Chapter 74, "Relics", shows The Captain swiftly shooting Heinkel Wolfe in his human form. It is revealed in Chapter 76 "Finest Hour" that he deliberately shoots through her cheek to spare Heinkel's life. The Captain attempts to communicate directly with Heinkel by making gestures  with his head. This is interpreted as a warning not to interfere with Walter and Alucard's duel. After tossing Heinkel a first aid kit, he leaps up into the air and departs. At the end of Capter 81, The Captain confronts Seras Victoria and Sir Integra, who stormed The Major's zeppelin. In Chapter 82, The Captain allows Integra to pass, even pointing out the direction of the bridge to her. He then engages Seras in a gun battle, which ends with him transforming into a werewolf. In Chapter 84, he stands in a two-page spread, facing Seras  in the form of a monstrously large wolf. The Captain then flies towards her in a similar way to Alucard's Baskerville and deals a powerful blow to Seras, ricocheting her off a wall and the ceiling. He swiftly changes into his bipedal werewolf form and kicks her down through the floor of the Hindenburg II onto the ground below, and jumps down to follow her. In Chapter 85, he displays even more of his mist-like abilities. Even after being dealt what appears to be a fatal blow from Seras' shadows, The Captain just dissolves into mist only to  reform, standing atop her shadows, unharmed. In Chapter 86, he continues to trade blows with the Draculina, until Seras manages to stop one of his kicks by biting and holding his leg in her mouth. This gives Pip Bernadotte (from within Seras' body) the chance to thrust a tooth with a silver filling from a concentration camp prisoner into The Captain's chest. The chapter ends with The Captain's dogtag falling to the floor and splitting in half. The Captain then falls to the floor dying, he lies still while a smile slowly creeps across his face. He is  then shown laughing before his body bursts into flames like previous Millennium members. Unlike them, this may be because he has finally been freed from the horrendous things he has done and can finally rest in peace. This can be determined from his chivalrous nature shown several times throughout the manga series. The Captain is based on a character named Hans Gunshce in one of Hirano's older works, called "Desert Schutzstaffel". Unlike his Hellsing counterpart, this early incarnation of The Captain speaks and opposes the Axis forces during World War II. He shows little enthusiasm for Millennium's Nazi  traditions. While the other soldiers wear swastikas and address The Major as their Führer, The Captain's only badge of allegiance is the Totenkopf on his cap. Given that he is already a century old by the beginning of World War II, it is possible The Captain's motive for joining Millennium is to find a worthy opponent to be slain by, rather than the hysteria of the Third Reich that gripped Germany prior to the war. Rip van Winkle. is one of Millennium's top soldiers and a member of the Werewolf special forces. While a youthful-looking freckled  vampire with glasses, van Winkle is actually 70 by the time the series begins. She seems to be childish with a passion for "Der Freischütz". She often sings arias from the opera while comparing herself to its lead character Caspar. This plays into her use of a long-barreled flintlock musket that fires magic bullets. These "punish all without distinction," tracking targets of their own accord by changing trajectories in mid-flight, seemingly armor-piercing and repeatedly peppering a target before expiring. Van Winkle seems to have a limited number of these bullets as she only uses one at a  time. Her prototype was in "Coyote". As revealed in "Hellsing: The Dawn", while bearing the rank of Junior Warrant Officer, van Winkle encounters Alucard half a century ago after his initial defeat by The Captain and while he was smoking with his sentient coffin. Though she eventually recognizes Alucard as an enemy, van Winkle is easily dispatched and develops a phobia after The Major compares Alucard to Zamiel, the demon that eventually drags Caspar to Hell. During the main storyline, The Major assigns van Winkle to take the VTOL carrier "Eagle" as a distraction for Alucard in what is later  revealed to be The Major's attempt to strand the vampire in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean so Millennium can begin its invasion of London. After slaughtering the ship's vice-captain and his associates, van Winkle switches sides and orchestrates the mutiny of vampires. She then renames the British ship the "Adler" and paints a swastika in blood on the main deck while the members of the Letztes Battalion awaken. Though van Winkle is able to shoot down any approaching planes, Alucard uses a remodeled SR-71 Reconnaissance Jet to reach the ship and slaughter the entire Letzte Battalion . Despite a last ditch effort to kill Alucard, with The Major telling the Doctor to let her die a hunter's death instead of incinerating her as a rare gesture of "generosity", van Winkle is consumed in the vampire's shadows and becomes his familiar. Rip later shows up as a familiar after Alucard releases his zero restriction, merged with Tubalcain Alhambra while manifesting from their master's body. After helping shoot down Maxwell's helicopter, she is destroyed in a massive fire along with all the other familiars after Alucard is mortally wounded by Anderson. This scene was not  published in "Young King" OURs, but was added to Volume 9. In several scenes she is also seen with an umbrella, which could be a reference to the practice of World War II German snipers to use umbrellas with camouflage foliage woven between the arms as light, adaptable, and mobile personal camouflage. Zorin Blitz. is a member of the Millennium forces. She is a tall, massively muscled female vampire character who works for the Millennium organization and is part of its Werwolf force. She is also the commander of one of Millennium's zeppelin forces, and is apparently the instigator  of the Valentine Brothers' attack on the Hellsing mansion (though this is simply conjecture from mixing the manga and anime storylines). She is a formidable fighter, wielding a giant scythe with enough force to cut a man in half. One side of her body is covered with tattoos, which include some designs. Most are letters (into which Hirano occasionally sneaks phrases such as "Trigun Maximum," "Gungrave" and "Elvis Lives"). Her tattoos are different from panel to panel, in terms of images. when exercising her power of illusion. They flow from her body onto the walls and the ground around her , extending her influence over the area. She can also read a person to determine the ideal illusion to use on them. Zorin attacks the Hellsing mansion during Millennium's invasion of London (Operation Seelöwe 2). She is warned not to underestimate Seras Victoria as her forces execute the members of the Wild Geese before she personally kills Pip Bernadotte. However, The Major only maimed Seras, and Zorin does not take the warning seriously. She finds herself facing the young vampire after drinking Bernadotte's blood to awaken her latent vampiric powers. As a result, Seras becomes immune to Zorin's  powers due to making Bernadotte her familiar and thus his soul and memories are incorporated into Seras's mind. From there, Schrödinger appears briefly to tell Zorin that she will have an undignified death instead of being incinerated. True to his word, Zorin is killed by Seras in a spectacularly violent and bloody manner. Her face is scraped across a wall at such speed that it is peeled to pieces. Zorin appears briefly at the end of OVA III, with a full appearance in OVA IV, appears in OVA V, is a central character in OVA VI, and makes her  final appearance in OVA VII. Her last name means "lightning" in German. In the James Bond 007 movie "A View to a Kill", actor Christopher Walken plays a villain named Max Zorin who was a chem-engineered Übermensch created in late World War II by Nazi Germany and who possessed a Zeppelin-based flying HQ. He also had May Day, a giant, muscular female bodyguard. Schrödinger. is a member of Millennium's Werewolf special forces who is a creation of the Doctor's. Resembling a young, teenage blond boy in a Hitler Youth uniform with cat ears and a perpetual  smirk, Schrödinger shares The Major's love for war and bloodshed while serving mainly as his envoy for Millennium. This is possible because Schrödinger's power, named after "Schrödinger's cat" scenario in quantum physics, is the ability to be "everywhere and nowhere" at the same time. This allows him to appear at any location and negate any fatal injury through will and sense of self. Schrödinger's prototype is a catgirl named Azmodeus from Doc's story. She was raped and impregnated by Adolf Hitler which he called a Schrödinger making Schrödinger Hitler's literal child. In the main  storyline, Schrödinger is sent by The Major to appear before Hellsing during Integra's meeting with Iscariot and the Queen of England to deliver Millennium's war declaration and briefly flirts with Seras. Although he is blasted in the head by Alucard, he appears on the "Deu Ex Machina" ship with The Major. He also appears at the moments where Rip van Winkle and Zorin Blitz are killed in battle. Later, Schrödinger greets Integra and Seras as they enter the landed "Hindenburg II", provoking Integra to shoot him in the head. However, he appears once again. There as part of  The Major's plan to finally end Alucard by putting him in a situation where he must replenish himself with new familiars, Schrödinger cuts off his head. His body and blood flows into the blood being absorbed by Alucard. His paradoxical blood "poisons" Alucard, causing him to fade out of existence during the fight with Walter. Thirty years later, when Alucard has dealt with the millions of souls he has harbored, he mentions he still has Schrödinger inside him. Tubalcain Alhambra. is a member of Millennium who also known as "The Dandy" ("The Dandy Man" in the OVA), a tall  and thin character who resembles a "malandro" archetype in Brazilian culture. According to the character descriptions in the Dark Horse version of Volume Four, Tubalcain is a First Lieutenant in Millennium. In a fight, he uses razor-sharp playing cards that can cut through anything or create illusions. In the storyline, Tubalcain promises Brazilian police and military officers immortality by becoming vampires in exchange for killing Alucard and Seras Victoria, who were staying in a local hotel. Though Alucard considers the use of pawns to be cowardly, Tubalcain also plans to reduce the vampire's ammunition as he gets the  upper hand in their duel. However, Alucard toys with Tubalcain before releasing his restrictions to level one while making use of Sera's distraction so he can attack Alhambra at close range. Alucard proceeds to cripple Tubalcain before absorbing the man's blood and soul to access his memories to discover Millennium's plan. Though the Doctor activates the incineration chip on Tubalcain, his soul ends up in Alucard's body. It later reappears, along with all the others absorbed by Alucard over the ages, when Integra releases his control art restriction system to Level Zero in Volume 8. After  helping shoot down Maxwell's helicopter and attacking Anderson, he is destroyed in a massive fire along with all the other familiars. This scene was not published in "Young" King OURs, but was added to Volume 9. The Valentine Brothers. These characters are a pair of vampire brothers who work for Millennium, having apparently worked as hit-men. They may have a long history in criminal activity while being presumably Americans. In the anime, the brothers are night club owners before their conversion. While the volatile and rude is a run-of-the-mill vampire armed with a pair of  heavily modified, suppressed FN P90s, the calm and reserved is specially modified to have accelerated healing and speed with the use of a pair of sawed-off M1 Garand rifles, a curved bowie knife, and a Walther PPK concealed up his sleeve. With an army of ghouls in militant garb, the brothers storm Hellsing HQ. While Jan faces off against Walter and Seras, they are incinerated by Millennium after their failure. Jan uses his final moments to reveal the group's name. Luke descends into the basement to kill Alucard for the sake of infamy as he believes he is  superior to his opponent. But when Alucard removes his restriction seal over who he thought to be a worthy opponent, Luke is revealed to be unable to regenerate lost limbs and is devoured by Alucard's Baskerville familiar. In "Hellsing IX", during Alucard's fight with Walter, Luke emerges briefly from Alucard's Baskerville familiar which was sliced in half. He is used by Walter as a puppet to fight Alucard. However, Alucard uses his powers to turn Luke into a decoy to catch Walter off guard. The Valentine Brothers also appear in the omakes in the manga after their  debut, making light of their deaths. Their prototypes are in "The Legends of a Vampire Hunter". Anime characters. Incognito. The antagonist of the anime series, Incognito is a masochistic vampire from Africa who comes to England with the mission to destroy London and eat Alucard after defeating him. After converting the SAS soldiers he slaughters into a new breed of FREAK vampires, to be used to attack Cambridge and Trafalgar Square, Incognito captures Integra for a ritual to summon Set. However, Incognito ends up being killed by Alucard after Integra enables him to fight to his full abilities. Peter Fargason . A member of the Hellsing organization and one of Seras's mentors along with Alucard, Walter, and Integra. Fargason is killed by a soldier towards the end of the series. Helena. Helean is a vampire character who looks like a little girl. However, the truth is she was bitten by a vampire centuries ago. Her true age is reflected in her monotone expression and womanly voice. Helena resides in a candlelit apartment filled with books. Her role in the story is to show Seras that vampires cease aging and thus become disconnected from the rest if the world. When Incognito  arrives in England, he kills and devours Helena seemingly just for sport. Kim. A news reporter who wants to expose vampires to the world, Kim is attacked by a vampire in the second episode of the TV series but is saved by the Hellsing Organization. She then tries to lure the organization into a trap to expose them but ends up being foiled by Seras Victoria. Kim is then killed by Alucard. Paul Wilson. A former SAS soldier, Wilson is turned into a minion by Incognito. Laura. Laura is a vampire who works for Incognito. Using her mental powers, she  convinces everyone in the Hellsing organization that she is Integra's sister. Her job is to turn Integra into a ghoul, but she fails thanks to Seras being immune to her telepathy. Harry Anders. Voiced by: Takashi Taniguchi (Japanese); Arthur Russell (English) Other characters. The Convention of Twelve. The Convention of Twelve is a group that assists the Hellsing organization. The only named members are Sir Hugh Islands, Sir Shelby Penwood, and Sir Rob Walsh. In 30 years Rob Walsh leads the twelve while Islands and Penwood are succeeded by their descendants. Arthur Hellsing. Arthur Hellsing is Integra Hellsing's  father, and previously had control over Alucard. It is not known who Integra’s mother is, nor is this mother figured ever spoken about in the anime. There is a framed photograph that Arthur keeps, of a woman holding Integra as an infant, but most of the photograph was cut off either by fading or by a glare. The woman was shown to be wearing a Sari, a traditional type of dress that is typically worn amongst women in India and other South Asian countries. Not much is known about Arthur in the Anime, only that he was a descendant  of Abraham Van Hellsing, Richard Hellsing’s Older Brother, and previously had control over Alucard. In ‘The Dawn’, he is seen as cocky, and typically had women invited to the manor. He was also seen as heavily disorganized, (on the other hand he ran the organization very well and kept things running smoothly) and seemed to have a bit of an issue with alcohol. He seemed to very very wary of using Alucard on missions, if at all. He would typically send Walter Dornez (as a child) on missions instead. Eventually he just confines Alucard to the catacombs after becoming  paranoid that Alucard was too powerful for his control. It is unknown how he acted outside of what was already shown in the anime, the OVA, and The Dawn’. We are only given the hint that he may have acted similarly to how Integra acts, as Alucard states that she “is her father’s daughter”. It is unknown who Arthur and Richard’s parents are. Over the next 20 or so years, Arthur falls ill with a disease that is deemed terminal, and on his deathbed, he appoints his daughter Integra as the new leader of the Hellsing Organization. Arthur  seemed to have a very close relationship with Integra. He cared deeply for her, and taught her basically everything that she needed to know about vampires and other supernatural creatures. He also seemed to trust her more that his own brother and eventually hands the organization over to her. The relationship between Alucard and Arthur is very vague, and Arthur seems to be very distant and wary of Alucard. Surprisingly though, Arthur has a deep understanding of Alucard, and vampires in general. He also trusted Alucard enough to send Integra to the catacombs to awaken Alucard at the time of  his [Arthur’s] death. Arthur was in his 30s at the time of ‘The Dawn’, and was much older than Walter Dornez who was 69 during the OVA. This means that Arthur was in his 60s when Integra was born, and he eventually died in his 70s, meaning that there was a rather large age gap between Integra’s Mother and himself. Abraham Van Hellsing. The slayer of Alucard(temporarily)and founder of the Royal order of Protestant Knights, better known as the Hellsing Organization. He is the grandfather of Integra Hellsing and the father of Arthur and Richard Hellsing. Before Hellsing , he teamed up with Jonathan Harker to save Harker's fiancee Mina Murray from the clutches of Count Dracula. He defeats Dracula but chooses not to kill him, instead making him his slave for another century and founding the Hellsing organization in order to slay monsters such as him. Cheddar Priest. Cheddar Priest is the first vampire that Seras encounters in the manga and the anime. He is responsible for turning all of the inhabitants of a nearby village into ghouls and is using them as his minions. When a police team (with Seras as a member) investigates the mysterious  murders, the priest sends his ghouls to kill them, leaving Seras as the lone survivor. She encounters the priest in a church where he reveals himself as a vampire. He states that he does not want another “vampire with free will running around”, and attempts to assault Seras, but is interrupted by Alucard (who was sent by Integra to find the vampire responsible, and dispose of them, as well as the ghouls.) The priest did not take Alucard’s threats seriously and commanded nearby ghouls (including several of Seras’ reanimated coworkers) to kill Alucard. After Alucard quickly heals his wounds  and kills off the surrounding ghouls, the priest realizes that he cannot beat Alucard, and attempts to barter him with Seras’ life. In response to this barter, Alucard asks Seras if she is a virgin, and when she confirms, the vampire shoots her, and the priest through the chest, killing him and almost killing Seras. It is after these events that Seras is bitten and turned into a vampire. Leif and Jessica. Leif and Jessica are two teenage minor vampires who go around killing random families. They not only drink it but use the victim's blood to write  heretical messages. They are killed by both Alucard and Seras in Episode 2 of the TV series. Richard Hellsing. Richard Hellsing is Integra's uncle. Not much is known about him, except that he is Arthur’s younger brother. After Arthur’s death, Richard learns that the duties of the Hellsing Organization were given to Arthur’s child daughter, Integra Hellsing, instead of himself. This deeply enrages Richard, and he makes the decision to (with several other members of Hellsing at the time) find and kill Integra, so that he could claim the Organization for himself. The group of Hellsing  Members (Richard included) eventually find Integra hiding in the Catacombs of the Hellsing Manor, after she went looking for the “salvation” that her father told her about before his passing. She comes to realize that this “salvation” is nothing but a mummified corpse that was chained up to the wall of a cell, and she was eventually cornered by her uncle. Richard raises a pistol at the girl, and shoots at her, but only managed to hit her arm. This sends a spatter of blood which lands on the corpse next to her. Richard goes on to begin ranting about  the Hellsing Organization belonging to him, and that he was going to kill Integra to reclaim it. The previously mummified corpse next to them eventually reanimates itself and begins feeding off of the spatters of blood from Integra, and goes on to break from the chains binding it and begin slaughtering the Hellsing Members around Richard. Terrified, Richard raises his pistol at the reanimated corpse in an attempt to shoot at it, but is met instead with his entire forearm being ripped clean off. Integra eventually picks up the pistol that Richard drops and points it at the reanimated corpse , demanding that it come no closer to her. At this point Integra and the corpse exchange words as Richard lay slumped against a wall in the cell, holding his mutilated arm. The corpse then tells her that the pistol she was using was useless against it, and that she should give up. This enraged her, and she reveals to the corpse that she is the rightful leader to the Hellsing Organization, and that she would die before she would give up. This causes the corpse to laugh and announce that it was wonderful, that Integra “was her father’s daughter ”, and eventually swears it’s loyalty and servitude to only her, since she was the rightful leader of the Organization. In the middle of this, Richard manages to find another pistol, and give a final attempt to assassinating his niece, which was met with failure as the corpse prevents the bullet from ever reaching her. Not long after this, the corpse reveals itself to be the vampire Alucard, before Integra eventually kills Richard.
