[[caption-width-right:350:''From left to right:'' Sir Islands, Sir Penwood, Rob Walsh]]

A secret organization that controls England from the shadows, and is modeled after the [[KingArthur Knights of the Round Table]]. Some members of Parliament, military officers, and a few prominent nobles are among its members, as well as the leader of Hellsing (currently Integra). Integra's father and predecessor Arthur Hellsing (who gets some screentime in ''Dawn'') may have been the "leader" of the Convention, and passed his position of authority to his daughter and Sir Islands. It is likely that membership is hereditary; Sir Penwood informs Integra that this is how he got into the Convention, and the [[DistantFinale finale]] reveals that Sir Penwood's grandson succeeded him.

--> Sir Shelby M. Penwood voiced by: Masashi Hirose (Japanese), Stuart [=MacLean=] (English)
--> Lieutenant-General Rob Walsh voiced by: Ryuzaboro Otomo (Japanese), Orion Acaba (English)
----
* BadassBureaucrat: The Convention of Twelve do not take Jan Valentine lying down, instead shooting him en masse the moment he opens the door. In various occasions they stand their ground against suped up Nazi vampires.
* BadassFamily: The Hellsings. They've been in the vampire killing business for years, with van Helsing as their ancestor and keeping ''the'' original vampire sealed up in their basement for god knows how long.
** Subverted by [[CreepyUncle Richard Hellsing]], who tried to kill Integra to inherit the Hellsing estate.
* CoolHat: Sir Islands wears a top hat. Sir Walsh has a snazzy beret.
* CowardlyLion: Sir Penwood admits that he's no fighter, a nervous man who was given his position by being born into it. But when Millennium attacks London, he insists on staying and defending the Command Centre because that's his job as commanding officer, even going so far as to order his crew to leave him.
* GoodIsNotNice: Islands wastes no time in pitting the blame on Integra and her lack of preparation for the Valentine attack - and in the same breath promises absolute revenge against Millenium.
* HeroicSacrifice: Sir Penwood blows up the entire Command Centre to take out a chunk of Nazi officers, including himself.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Sir Penwood's admission of how nervous he can be and that he's only in his position out of obligation.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: PlayedForLaughs. In the DistantFinale, Integra tells Penwood's grandson that Penwood single-handedly fought his way through Millenium's ranks with nothing but a sword and pistol and personally brought down the Major's zeppelin, and that she lost her eye dueling him.
* ImprobableAge: During the epilogue, it's revealed that Walsh is ''still'' alive and kicking and commanding Her Majesty's Royal Army. This puts him at ''over one hundred years old and still under active military duty.''
* MauveShirt: What makes Sir Penwood stand out from being a RedShirt is how he explains why he knows he's not suited for the position he's in but he's going to make a stand. Even after his death he still makes an impact on the aftermath.
* NoNameGiven: The majority of them are not known. Just Sir Islands, Lieutenant-General Rob Walsh and Sir Shelby M. Penwood (and, of course, Sir Integra).
* OldFriend: The reason Sir Islands put up with Arthur; they were close colleagues despite their somewhat conflicting personalities.
* PowerTrio: Arthur = id, Penwood = ego, Islands = superego, as portrayed in the ending credits of OVA 5.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: None of them are ever depicted as unreasonable in their orders and understanding of the situation.
* RedOniBlueOni: Arthur Hellsing and Sir Islands, respectively.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sir Islands or Sir Irons?
* StiffUpperLip: Arthur Hellsing, much to Sir Islands' chagrin.
* TheStoic: Present-day Sir Islands, who never cracks or shows any emotion whatsoever.
* TakingYouWithMe: Sir Penwood blowing up the Command Centre with him and Nazi vampires in it.
* TechnicalPacifist: Sir Islands' descendant wants to solve conflicts without weapons, in the epilogue.
* TheMentor: Sir Islands to Integra, as far as is shown. She certainly looks to him for advice as opposed to the others.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: From an outsider's perspective, it's never explained why the Convention is so important to the running of England, apart from a vague implication that they do damage control for supernatural events such as vampire attacks.
