History Characters / HellsingAlucard

* HandCannon: To him they're pistols. To a human they'd be hand cannons, and impossible to fire with breaking an arm from the recoil. His Jackal weights ''16 kilos'' unloaded[[note]]The real-life HandCannon, the Desert Eagle, weights 1.7kg, making the Jackal about ten times heavier[[/note]], is almost 40cm long and has "Jesus Christ is in Heaven now" written along the barrel, pushing it firmly into ImpossiblyCoolWeapon territory.

* HealingFactor: One of the most extreme examples. Blowing him to bits doesn't stick long.

* InsultBackfire:
-->'''SWAT team member''': No...you're a monster!\\

* PetTheDog: His conversation with the Queen of England show him to be quite the gentleman. He speaks with her in a soft, kindly tone and openly compliments her. He also openly shows affection for Seras once she [[spoiler: embraces the full power of being a True Draculina.]]

* SlasherSmile: Full of fangs.

* DiscardAndDraw: Thanks to Schrödinger nearly erasing him from existence and leaving him incorporeal for ''three decades'', Alucard had to dispose of the millions of potential familiars he had until only Schrödinger was left. He likely can't contain and release entire armies of undead anymore (though he could potentially collect more), but on the other hand, he now has Schrödinger's power of 'being everywhere and nowhere.' He lacks his hundreds of thousands of souls, but has become the self-observing paradox that exists where and as he decides he does: 'I think, therefore I am.' While he is no longer ''literally'' a OneManArmy, he has become much more immortal and unlike his previous powers which made it difficult but not ''impossible'' to kill him, virtually nothing can hurt or kill him now.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: He has a number of similarities to [[Manga/{{Trigun}} Vash the Stampede]], being a superpowered inhuman being who wears a red BadassLongcoat, has similarly-designed glasses and a HandCannon, and his source material was even serialized on the same magazine, but Vash is an idealistic AllLovingHero ActualPacifist (and also rather goofy) whereas Alucard is a cynical and sadistic NinetiesAntiHero (with all the RatedMForManly grittiness that comes with it) bordering on VillainProtagonist who kills his enemies in gruesome ways.

* {{Expy}}: Officially, of the main characters of two series Kouta Hirano is an overt fan of, ''Literature/VampireHunterD'' and ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'', as well as a secondary character of another of his favorites, ''Manga/MugenShinshi''. He resembles the first in his vampire hunter job, his broad-brimmed hat and coat, his immense power, his ability to manifest other beings in the form of extra faces in his body, and his name lampshading his relation to the Dracula myth; for the second, he takes from him the red of his coat, his yellow round-framed sunglasses, his eccentricity, his big gun, and the fact that he keeps suppressed his true power; and from the third he takes his very name and his role as the sworn ally of the heir to a noble family.

* BadassBaritone: Though his voice can reach higher pitches when he's LaughingMad, most of the time it's smooth, suave, and badass.

* HandCannon: To him they're pistols. To a human they'd be hand cannons, and impossible to fire with breaking an arm from the recoil.

* BerserkButton: His [[AffablyEvil usual attitude]] makes them hard to find, but when one is pressed, you ''will'' know:
** People who believe that it's BetterToDieThanBeKilled, especially when someone does it to escape his wrath.
** Traitors. He will make you ''suffer'' before killing you if you betray him.
** And the biggest example of them all: throwing away your humanity. After his defeat at the hands of Dr. Hellsing, Alucard earnestly believes a person's humanity and ingenuity to be the best things about them. When Anderson uses [[DeadlyUpgrade Helena's Nail]] in their final battle, Alucard is not only ''furious'', he's '''brought to tears''' at the end.

* UndyingLoyalty: Not only is he fiercely dedicated to his master and country, he hates traitors. It's a major BerserkButton.
