Extremely powerful, to the point where he qualifies as "nature" in terms of man vs. x conflicts, Alucard is a vampire who is well over 400 years old. He acknowledges Integra Hellsing, a woman who is one of the last living members of the Hellsing family, as his Master. He spent twenty years sealed in the depths of the Hellsing manor by Integra's father, until a young Integra discovers his "corpse" when she was fleeing from her wicked uncle. Integra is shot in the shoulder, and her blood just so happens to fly into Alucard's mouth, which awakened him. As a way of showing his thanks, he helps Integra kill her pursuers, and from then on, grants her his services and protection. He is highly skilled in firearms and his vast powers are divided into seals with increasing levels of power (with Level Zero being the strongest to 5 being the "weakest"). His servant is Seras "Police Girl" Victoria.Most definitely IS Dracula.
Horrifying Hero: Our PROTAGONIST, ladies and gentlemen!* Army of the Dead: Contains an armada of ghouls formed from pretty much every single person he ever killed inside his body.
Badass Longcoat: A red one, adding to the gore by allowing many regenerations of his limbs. Though not the only one; the villainous equivalent is the Captain.
Badass Mustache: When Alucard releases all the restraints, he actually looks somewhat like Vlad Tepes, including the mustache. Not quite as impressive as the one in the famous portrait of him, but it would be difficult to take him seriously with that thing.
Word Of God (and canon) says that form is female. Strangely Girlycard still has a male voice in the OVA.
Sealed Badass in a Can: Is this in "Master of Monster". There's a magic seal on the door to the room he's being kept in (much like the seals on his gloves, that keep his powers in check). When Integra opens the door, she breaks the seal.
Berserk Button: Alucard doesn't seem to have many, but Anderson finds one when the latter uses Helena's Nail to gain the power to defeat the former. Alucard is outright furious at Anderson for throwing away his humanity in order to defeat him, saying that Anderson has become just like Alucard: a monster. For the record, Alucard believes that only a human can defeat a monster, hence his rage at Anderson using Helena's Nail. Also, whenever someone escapes his bloodthirsty counterattacks by committing suicide. Well, he gets very angry at least. Likewise, never, Never, NEVER insult, threaten, or harm Integra whenever he's nearby. It willbe the last thing you'll do. Case in point, Enrico Maxwell once called Integra a "Sow" prompting Alucard to, albeit politely, tell Maxwell that he'll personally kill him for insulting his master. Or betray him or her. He can't stand traitors.
Bottomless Magazines: He won't reload until all the surrounding enemies are dead.
Break the Cutie: When he was just a little kid, he was sold out by his father, Dracul the prince of Wallachia, to the Turks, who did all sorts of ghastly things to him. No wonder he decided to become what he is today.
Crazy Consumption: Out of all the vampites in this series, Alucard really takes the cake with this one. So long as Integra orders him to kill, he'll do whatever he damn well pleases to his victims. Including tearing off their heads and letting the blood pour into his mouth. And using demon dogs to eat them alive. Honestly, this guy acts more like a cannibal than a vampire.
Cynical Mentor: He's not the best father figure towards Seras. Most of the time he's rather insulting and mean towards her, but he does give her advice which has helped her many times before.
Dropped a Bridge on Him: In the form of Schrodinger. Okay, so maybe it was more 'dropped mathematics and technobabble on him'.
Earn Your Happy Ending: After essentially being sent to purgatory by Schrodinger, Alucard seeks out and kills his millions of lives (except Schrodinger's), finally putting them out of their misery and earning his life back.
Even Evil Has Standards: He told those teen vamps that the way how they kill for no reasons just show how pathetic they actually were, and thats is the reason why they should be wasted.
Evil Laugh: Anytime Alucard is entertained, or is impressed with the antics of the Major, that great fanged maw opens up with peals of maniacal laughter.
Hey, You!: At first, he purposely refused to call his apprentice by her name Seras Victoria, resorting instead to the sneering alias "Police Girl" which shows his disdain for her reluctance to drink blood and embrace her vampire nature in full extent.
Humans Are Special: He believes this with all his being. While sometimes he would sneer at humans, for Alucard they are the pinnacle of the creation of God and those worthy to inherit earth, to the point that he refuse to die except at the hands of a human reason why he breaks in tears when Anderson transforms himself with the Nail.
I Hate You, Vampire Dad: He receives this treatment from Seras sometimes and he doesn't improve this status either, due to the fact that he has a jerkass attitude towards her and enjoys mocking and scaring the hell out of her.
Immune to Bullets: His usual tactic is to let his opponents perforate him utterly... and then regenerate and get right back up again.
Manly Tears: Two instances. The first instance are Tears of Blood when he is dreaming of the day Abraham defeated him. The second instance follows Anderson's death after he used Helena's Nail. Alucard truly believed with all his being that Anderson was capable of beating him as a human. By turning himself into a monster, Alucard was essentially heartbroken that he threw away what he believed made him strong.
Mook Horror Show: Heaven and Hell help you if you have to fight him.
Not so Different: Alucard admits he and the Major are alike in volume 4 as incorrigible warmongers. But unlike the Major who is a Complete Monster, Alucard shows indeed remorse and tears up when he recalls what he lost in past battles. His comparison with Anderson in volume 9 is far more accurate.
Power Limiter: Alucard's monstrous powers are kept in check by a series of 4 magical gates, called the Control Art Restriction System. Alucard has some access to these via the "Cromwell Approval", but Integra herself must authorize their level of use for the most part.
Prehensile Hair: Although it's kinda difficult to tell where the guy's hair ends and where his shadow tendril things begin. But he definitely has more prehensile body parts than any creature has the right to have.
Psycho for Hire: Sort of. He has all of the mannerisms and motives necessary for this trope, but he only works for one person.
Psychopathic Manchild: Type C. Though he's usually composed and a perfect gentleman, he turns into a giggling lunatic in battle.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: So long as Integra orders it, he'll do whatever he damn well pleases to his opponents. If they can't stop him, well, it sucks to be them.
Worthy Opponent: Humans who can face him receive his absolute respect, probably born from being defeated, at his mightiest by Abraham Van Helsing and restoring his faith in humanity. Its also the reason why he obeys Integra to death and beyond.
The head of the Hellsing organisation and the last descendant of said bloodline; one of the knights of the Round Table also known as the Twelve Conventions that control the 'British Empire' in the shadows and protect the Anglican faith and the Crown. It is unknown how she lost her mother, but her father died when she was about twelve years of age. As her father lay on his deathbed, he told Integra that if she ever was caught in a bad situation and has no one else to turn to, she should head for the cells deep below the manor, where the family's "darkest legacy" is kept, and that it will be her greatest weapon and the "instrument of her salvation". She awakens Alucard with her blood when she was cornered by her evil uncle Richard Hellsing, but Alucard saves her life and swears his loyalty to her. Shortly after this, Integra kills Richard Hellsing and is knighted days later. She's twenty-two years old during the course of most of the story.
Adrenaline Makeover: From timid and sweet young girl into cocky, rookie leader into harderned, brave and inspiring leader and mentor to the next generation.
Anti-Hero: Type III, occasionally leaning towards type IV.
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Played straight until she loses her eye in the last chapters, up to that point even the blood stains she got in middle of a battle vanished from her face and long hair (that remained majestically untangled during the entire ordeal).
Berserk Button: To some degree; don't eat her men or make her servant disappear.
Bifauxnen: Subverted. Outside the fandom, Integra is never mistaken as male in canon nor she's trying to dress like a man or act like one. Everybody knows she's a lady and seems pretty proud of this fact. It's more a case of Samus Is a Girl when she introduces herself in the beginning. Most didn't expect Sir Hellsing to be a young woman.
Heroic BSOD: when Walter reveals himself as a Nazi and after Alucard disappears.
Hey, You!: Like Alucard, she usually only refers to Seras as "Police Girl" as well. Notable times exceptions after Seras went overboard and slaughtered Integra's ghoul-turned men, causing Integra to give her a Cool Down Hug to calm her, when Integra "feeds" Seras, and after Seras becomes a full-on vampire.
Ice Queen: Cold, dour and dispassionate...most of the time. She's seen getting angry a lot, but that's mostly from atrocities being committed against her organization and/or her country. The rest is from Alucard riling her up.
In Its Hour of Need: Even if seriously outnumbered, Integra stays in the destroyed London and stands her ground before reinforcement arrive. Then goes into the Zeppelin to fight the last battle.
In-Series Nickname: Integra (her full name is Integral). But also several ones (most of them she disliked): Miss Nemesis Face/Lady of Iron (by Seras), Babylon (by Anderson), Protestant Sow (by Maxwell), Beautiful Fräulein (by Major), Countess (by Alucard).
Subverted. Under normal circumstances, Integra can be reasoned with and flexible in her standards. But once you attack her men, threaten her country or betray her. All bets are off.
Lady and Knight: She's the Lady of course, and Alucard is her unlikely, vampiric Knight.
Les Yay: With Seras. The fingerlicking scene was blatant fanservice.
Let's Get Dangerous: A couple times, most notably after she pulls herself from a carcrash, decapitates the vampire who attacked her and mocks the rest, then tells them to bring it on so she can kill them.
Made of Iron: Gets into a pretty serious car crash and is still able to decapitate a vampire like it's no one's business. Later, she gets shot in the eye and barely even falters.
She also got shot in the shoulder when she was twelve and it barely seemed to bother her. Afterward, she was even able to pick up a gun and shoot it.
Meet Cute: Manga only. For a tense moment, Hirano managed to paint the meeting between Alucard and Integra in an awkwardly endearing light. This overlaps with Boy Meets Ghoul.
Mercy Kill: Forced to do this do her ghoulifed men after the Valentine invasion. She accepts all responsibility for their deaths.
It's also the real motivation of why she and her father to kill monsters that threaten their country. Aside of their duty to keep it safe.
Meganekko: Quite subverted since she isn't exactly what you'd call "Sweet". Played straight when she was young.
Morality Chain: to Alucard, being the person he acknowledged to serve.
Not So Stoic: She seems cold, distant and icy. That is until her men or her vampires are involved. It becomes evident throughout the series that she struggles to be The Stoic.
Odd Couple: With Alucard, but whether it's romantic or not is a shipping issue.
Older than They Look: For most of the series, Integra's only twenty-two years old and sometimes gets treated in a condescending way because of her age.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Alucard's red. Her and Maxwell seemed to have this dynamic earlier on, too.
Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: The Twelve Conventions lord over the country and has a power grip that is only rivalled by the Vatican. Integra can order a slaughter in front of international cameras in another country without real consequences.
She Is The King: Despite being a woman, she holds the male title "Sir" instead of "Lady".
Shut Up, Hannibal!: Gives a short verbal bitch slap to Major after killing him.
Spell My Name with an S: While this isn't so much an issue in the English speaking fandom, her name has an alternative spelling Hirano gives ('Integla').
The Stoic: Not quite. But Integra struggles to be like this during big crisis.
Team Mom: She acts this way sometimes in the manga, in particular as contrast to Alucard in their guidance of Seras. While he tries to be harsh, lying down the rules and teaching her practical matters in his twisted way, Integra nurtures her in own way via giving her Cool Down Hugs and feeding her (via her own blood) with more diplomacy (and sometimes, quite the Les Yay fanservice). At the epilogue, she chides at her like a mother would to a naughty child.
Van Helsing Hate Crimes: Despite being his descendant, this gets an interesting exploration considering that Integra was saved by a vampire from her only very living relative who wanted her dead and she ends up ordering the deaths of all her enemies without discriminating who is undead and who isn't
Women Are Wiser: Easily the most intelligent and level-headed ([1]ally) character in the series. Granted, it helps that most of the males in this series are batshitinsane.
A cute young police officer who was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was sent to investigate the mysterious disappearances in the small village of Cheddar. However, things are much worse as she finds out—a vampire masquerading as a priest had taken over the village and killed all the villagers, most of them now turned into slavering, mindless ghouls (zombies). Despite being severely outmatched, Seras refuses to back down and fights as best as she could. She was finally captured and held hostage by the vampire priest, who threatened to rape her (to make her lose her virginity, as non-virgin vampire victims become ghouls) and kill her. Alucard destroys the vampire, shooting Seras through the lung in the process. After this, Seras allows Alucard to suck her blood and transform her into a vampire. She becomes his servant and is employed as one of Hellsing's soldiers soon after.
Adrenaline Makeover: Goes from a shy and submissive vampire girl to a hardcore Draculina.
Artificial Limbs: Her shadow arm after she loses her real one to Zorin.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Not as much as her Master, but she shifts her shadow/tendril into whatever she wants (arm or wing or swirly whip-thing).
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Subverted hard when she lost her eyes and one arm during a battle. She regenerates her eyes, but her arm remains missing, replaced by a tendril of blood-shadow.
Berserk Button: Never ever insult Pip Bernadotte in her presence
Also, when the ghouls that Jan Valentine made out of Hellsing's initial guards basically swarm her. Seras promptly goes berserk and kills almost all of them, until Integra intervenes.
And near the end it's topped with Flak 88. Which she somehow summons.
Blood Lust: Seems to go into something akin to a "blood rage" after tearing apart Hellsing's ghoul-turned army. Integra snaps her out of it and nothing comes from it. It never happens to her again, not even after becoming a full-fledged vampire.
Dark Is Not Evil: Sure, Seras dresses in bright colors, but she's a vampire. And you know how most vampires are portrayed. Alucard himself should have been an indication.
Her first meeting with Sir Penwood in the OVA is basically a loose combination between Ass Kicks You and Crash into Hello, with emphasis on Seras' backside.
Morality Pet: Acts as this throughout the series. Honestly, if it weren't for Seras, Integra and Alucard would be a lot less sympathetic.
More Dakka: Harkonnen II. Holy hell, the Harkonnen II. A pair of eighty eight millimeter cannons belt fed from a backpack.
No Name Given: It's not that the characters insisted to call her Police Girl, but that Kohta Hirano didn't have a name for her until deadlines demanded him to change that at the end of the first volume. She was 'Police Girl' to him when he made the character. Then she became Seras Victoria.
Slasher Smile: Do not under any circumstances piss the sweet, busty blonde with the mortar off. She will rend you apart with her bare hands and be enjoying every second of doing it.
Theme Music Power-Up: In Ultimate 7, while Seras drinks Pip's blood, "Zakuro" by Suilen underscores both her transformation and her defeat of Zorin's forces.
Integra's butler and also the retired retainer of the Hellsing Family. He is known as the "Angel of Death", due to his incredible fighting prowess and skill with manipulating ultra-thin wires that can cut nearly anything to ribbons. Don't be fooled by his elderly appearance—to this day he can still prove to kick a lot of undead ass.
Badass Grandpa: Emphasis on the "Badass" part. 70 years old, and still quite capable of tearing you and your undead army some new orifices. He claims he's not as spry as he used to be... which makes you wonder what he was like when he was younger. Then he gets rejuvenated, losing the Grandpa part, and vampirised and keeps the Badass part.
Mouthy Kid: Dawn reveals that he was rather bratty as a kid. Probably justified; it'd be hard to discipline a 14-year-old whose well-deserved nickname is "Angel of Death".
Razor Floss: His trademark weapon, stored in his gloves. Walter has three versions of his gloves, two pairs like normal gloves (in white and black) and a fingerless pair.
The Butler Did It: is believed to be behind the security breaches that allowed the Valentine brothers to infiltrate Hellsing's HQ.
Trailers Always Spoil: A victim of it, especially for those who have not read the manga. The initial trailer for the Ultimate OVA (the big one set to "Broken English") showed off a glimpse of Walter as a vampire. Then, the credits for Ultimate 3 revealed Walter amongst the Millenium commanders back in 1944. The trailer for Ultimate 8 also re-showed Walter's rejuvenated vampire form.
The captain of the Wild Geese mercenaries, who are hired by Hellsing after the entire Hellsing forces were wiped out by the Valentine Brothers. Bernadotte is cynical, snarky, and a pervert, but he's also a cunning strategist and very proficient in the art of war.
Limited Wardrobe: Subverted in Pip's case. We've seen him in at least three different outfits besides his mercenary apparel.
Made of Iron: Poor guy gets attacked again and again by Zorin and her mooks, including getting stabbed in the stomach by a wooden splinter. It takes a few shots into his torso and being stabbed straight through the back by Zorin's scythe to finally bring him down, and even then he's able to light a cigarette and give one last Rousing Speech before he kicks the bucket. Sort of.
Only in It for the Money: Being a mercenary, he says that money—even just a few cents—is his only real reason for fighting... until he meets Seras, that is.
Badass: This was the man who defeated Alucard at his best, in an implied Curb-Stomp Battle and is the reason Alucard thinks Humans Are Special. Damn. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the most Badass characters in the series.
Noodle Incident: Is never explained or show even a glimpse (for all the massive Flashback) of how Abraham managed to defeat and enslave Alucard. All that is stated is that Alucard went all out, was imprisoned and Abraham managed to put such fear (and respect) in Alucard that he hunted his nightmares for hundreds of years and make him weep blood... yeah. No matter how you cut it, this man is Badass
It is heavily implied Alucard was much weaker back then and more in line with a normal vampire. Hellsing is stated to have experimented heavily on him in the last hundred years making him stronger which was why Anderson was surprised the conventional ways to kill a vampire did not work on Alucard.
A member of the Vatican black ops group the Iscariot Organization, Anderson is a Catholic priest trained to efficiently kill vampires. He has been genetically engineered to heal from any wound he receives, making him Alucard's equal in combat. His weapon of choice is blessed bayonets, which he carries in great quantities, throwing them with unerring accuracy in order to hit his target in as many places as possible. Both in and out of battle he is a very compassionate and caring person, whether it is towards the orphans in his charge or his fellow members of Iscariot. However he shows no mercy to his opponents, but holds special place in his heart for Alucard (presumably for his challenging nature) and Integra (whose bravery he finds impressive).
Blond Guys are Evil: Subverted. In his first appearance he seems like a straight-up villain, but he's very much an Anti-Hero.
This only applies in the animated versions. In the manga covers, Anderson is Ambiguously Brown with silver/graying hair and blue eyes. They have Maxwell and him swap colors for some unknown reason.
Blood Knight: He enjoys slaughtering vampires just a little too much than is normal.
Even Evil Has Standards: Even though he's not really evil. Anderson almost always follows his own set of rules, regardless of what Maxwell tells him. A notable example is when Anderson's unit is ordered to protect Integra during the attack on London. Most of the team members are itching for an excuse to kill her, but Anderson knows that keeping her alive is a one-way ticket to fighting Alucard, so he tells them to shut up, act polite, and guard her from Millenium's soldiers. And when Maxwell gives the order to kill Integra, Anderson looks like he's about to run towards Maxwell and rip him a new one for having the nerve to order the execution of the master of his greatest rival.
What about when Maxwell went nuts and killed the survivors of the London attack for no reason other than their Protestant beliefs. Anderson believed he betrayed God and the Vatican for his actions and decided to waste him.
Hero Antagonist: Arguably. He wants to kill Alucard for being a dangerous vampire. Which he is.
He Who Fights Monsters: He sacrificed his human side for power in order to defeat Alucard
I Have Many Names: Bayonet Anderson, Killing Judge Anderson, Angel Dust Anderson (a Mythology Gag to his origins), Paladin Anderson, just to name a few. Alucard gives him another one: "Judas Priest", which doubles as a joke to Iscariot itself.
Kill The Ones You Love: Had to do it on Maxwell, who was one of the many children he had taken care of in his orphanage and risen like his own son, since he went nuts with power and ordered the genocide of London's population.
His Dynamic Entry rescue of Integra in Ultimate 5 was basically hand-crafted forNorio Wakamoto because it is oozing with so much ham and Narm, that only Wakamoto could pull it off while retaining the awesomeness of the moment.
Mood Whiplash: Can act very polite and father-like one minute, and switch to a ruthless maniac the next. Norio Wakamoto makes the mood shifts even more jarring, but in a good way.
He doesn't seem to have so much against killing civilians as long as they are "heathens", as Maxwell's motivation for doing so, to show off his power in his own glory, rather than God's
Token Good Teammate: Van Helsing Hate Crimes aside, he's not really a bad person, and actually spreads his influence on those beneath his command. This is in stark contrast with the higher-ups in Iscariot.
Van Helsing Hate Crimes: But considering what most of the vampires in the series are like, can you blame him?
Violent Glaswegian: English language interpretations have conferred a Scottish accent on him even though he has no official nationality and works at an Italian orphanage. Then again, Anderson is a Scottish surname...
Maxwell is the ambitious commander of Section XIII and an even more fanatically bloodthirsty Catholic than Anderson. While he does not do any fighting and killing in person, his orders are ruthless and he shows no mercy to Protestants, considering the "sinners" to be less than human. Maxwell can be viewed as Integra's rival, in the same way that Anderson is Alucard's rival.
All of the Other Reindeer: His backstory reveals that as a child he was an outcast for being the son of a prostitute.
Foil: To Integra. Both are strong commanders and vampire hunters, but Maxwell has an unstable side that Integra lacks. It will be the cause of his downfall.
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: In his first appearence, he is actually quite friendly and affable, and seems to be the Only Sane Man in regards to Anderson and his henchwomen's fanaticism. However, as the invasion of London reaches its peak, he reveals his true colors, being perfectly willing to sit back and watch the "filthy Protestants" get slaughtered by Millenium before ultimately ordering his men not only to forget the vampires and focus solely on murdering Protestants, but also to butcher any Catholic who refused to do so. Anderson was not amused.
Large Ham: Once he goes off the deep end. The Major even humourously comments that "He's not bad when he puts his mind to it."
Only Sane Man: Comes off as this in his introduction. While he's just as bigoted as everyone else in Iscariot, he is nevertheless quite friendly and reasonable and not nearly as fanatical as Yumie, Heinkel and (especially) Anderson. In fact, he actually tries (and fails) to restrain Anderson when a fight threatens to break out between him and Alucard in a public museum. It doesn't last.
Heinkel and Yumie first appear in the Crossfire extras at the end of Hellsing volumes 1, 2, and 3 as female Iscariot assassins, taking down various anti-Catholic terrorists. Heinkel, who cross-dresses as a priest, wields a pair of pistols. Yumie exists as the fanatical alternate personality of the meek nun Yumiko, the only Japanese character in Hellsing. Both are extremely effective in combat.Word Of God says that the Heinkel and Yumie in Crossfire are different characters from the ones that appear in the main continuity, but they are identical in personality and appearance anyway. The OVA has given both slightly more screentime.
Ambiguous Gender: It's unclear what gender Heinkel is in the main continuity. In the OVA Heinkel's seiyuu is female, but she speaks in a more masculine tone. It seems that the OVA series decided Heinkel is male—the credit sequence for the 9th OVA focuses on Hellsing's female characters, but leaves Heinkel out.
Badass Normal: Heinkel, at least. Yumie appears to be an ordinary human both in Crossfire and the Hellsing manga but in the OVA she is shown transforming into a purple, shadowy substance when attacking.
The leading commander of Millenium, an nazi vampire organization hellbent on destroying London as a revenge for the Third Reich's defeat. He is a short, fat, Aryan cyborg who was a former member of SS, who was given order from the Führer himself to create a mighty army of super vampires. He created at least 1000 vampires before Nazi Germany's defeat but the Major took the Führer's order at heart and spent the last 50 years on planning to restart World War II.
Blood Knight: "Mein Kameraden, Ich LIEBE das Krieg". And he DOES. The ultimate text book example of a blood knight. He even gives a five minute speech on how much and why he loves war right before he starts the attack on London. If he had super powers than it would probably be the end of the world as we know it.
"Ich liebe das Krieg''" is also Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping. FYI it's "Ich liebe Krieg." or "Ich liebe den Krieg."
Death Seeker: The defining character trait of him and Millennium.
Determinator: Probably the human with the greatest force of will in the entire verse, being the only one who managed to sneer at the "power of the monsters" at his death and still be himself. Remember that neither Alucard or Anderson were capable of this. .
Foe Yay: With Alucard. They're both fascinated with each other and then they spoke to one other after 50 years, they spoke like they were old friends.
All his flirting to Integra, too... She doesn't seem interested.
There is a fan comic somewhere in which the Major's declaration of war is not about revenge, or conquest, but a contest to see who can claim the right to Integra's virginity.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Somewhat. Yeah, the guy's a madman who causes the death of millions, but he is respectful to his troops and actually gives Rip a honorary salute for doing her job as she's killed by Alucard. In contrast when Blitz displays dishonorable tactics in her siege against Seras's group and has the tables turned on her. He sends Schrödinger to tell her off and that she would not be getting the same send off nor would he activate the chip in her that would burn her alive rather than be killed by the enemy.
Villainous Breakdown: Put here because he soundly averts it. How rare is that? Plus, nearly every other villain in the series suffers one. He just grins away contentedly as everything burns around him.
We Have Reserves: He doesn't care how many of his soldiers dies just as so long it would be a wonderful war as a result.
This came as Fridge Brilliance in the end because the entire war existed so they could die with meaning. His reaction to his soldiers is, in fact, fulfilling their wishes.
Worthy Opponent: Van Hellsing, who are precious to him because they are the only ones worth enough to kill them.
White-Haired Pretty Boy: Averted in the manga. He has white/silver hair but is fat and definitely not sharing any of the usual traits. He's given straw blond hair in the OVA.
Xanatos Gambit: Subverted. He thinks that whether Millennium wins or loses, he'll get his krieg and a shot at taking out Alucard. Then Integra points out the flaws of his plan in a Shut Up, Hannibal! fashion. He is not human and this wasn't a real war (it went down in history as a terrorist attack: The Zeppelin Incident). Alucard returns, so he never defeated him..
The Captain
The Dragon to the Major's Big Bad. He is a seemingly-immortal werewolf, always seen in his full uniform with the collar turned up. Like Alucard and Anderson, the Captain is Millenium's supernatural trump card, boasting great strength, speed and abilities in all three of his forms.
Berserk Button: The Captain (particularly notable given his status as The Stoic) when Girlycard started mocking him by barking; the Captain's response was to kick him/her in half.
Death Seeker: : The Captain's laughter upon being killed by Pip Bernadotte indicates that, like Alucard, he was trying to find a way to die in battle and break his immortality.
Even Evil Has Standards: The Captain is much more chivalrous than the other members of Millenium. He shoots Heinkel nonfatally and gives her a first aid kit, then points for Integra the way to find the Major.
Made of Iron: He can regenerate wounds and can appears to be immune to Walter's razor floss. He catches it in his hands in volume six with little or no damage to his fingers.
The chief scientist of Millennium. He is the one responsible for the creation of the artificial vampires, made possible by his work involving "Shi" (Mina Harker's remains). He is always seen with a blood-stained lab coat, glasses with multiple lens, and often a remote with many buttons whose functions range from incinerating subordinates to destroying Jackal. Ironically, he's arguably the sanest of the Millennium bunch. He frequently scolds Warrant Officer Schrodinger.
For Science!: Most likely his motive for working with Millennium. Later chapters reveal that he sincerely believes in the importance of science and is devoted to his research.
Only Sane Employee: Unlike the rest of Millennium, the Doktor has more orthodox goals, like continuing his research. He sometimes gets exasperated with his more eccentric colleagues and their antics.
Red Right Hand: Pay attention to the Doktor, he has six fingers.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: He frequently finishes off defeated subordinates via the remote-controlled chips in their bodies.
First Lieutenant Zorin Blitz
As part of Operation Seelowe 2, she is tasked with attacking Hellsing Manor, laying siege to it with Seras and the Wild Geese inside. As a vampire, she is enthusiastic about killing humans, frequently calling them "insects". Zorin makes use of her ability to torture her opponents, physically and mentally. She has an intense fixation on Seras for some reason. Which doesn't end well for her.
Psycho Lesbian: Some translations have Pip calling Zorin one. She is, at the very least, fixated on hurting Seras.
Shout Out: Her name is a reference to Bond villain Max Zorin and the German tactic blitzkrieg. Also, Hirano sometimes works phrases into her tattoos, such as "Trigun Maximum" and "Elvis Lives".
In one of the omake, he admits to doing this as a result of boredom and the sheer tediousness of the detail involved.
You Have Failed Me: The Major lets Seras brutally murder Zorin for disobeying orders rather than activating her suicide chip and granting her a much more merciful and dignified death. It's awesome.
Its also a bit warped; Rip Van Winkle shared the same fate- in her case, she was brutally murdered by Alucard- but the reason her chip wasn't activated was as a reward for her so-called Heroic Sacrifice. They shared the same fate for the exact opposite reasons.
Millennium's magical sharpshooter and Perky Female Minion, seen singing opera in her first appearance. She compares herself to Kaspar, the protagonist of the German opera Der Freischütz; appropriately, her Weapon of Choice is a musket with magic bullets.
Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: Her weapon of choice generally has an aimed range of about 50 yards. She routinely hits multiple targets with a single bullet from well outside the nominal effective range of her weapon, even if this requires the bullets to change direction in mid-flight.
Catch Phrase: Varies by translation, but it's usually something along the lines of "Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, my bullet punishes all without distinction."
Her rendition of "O diese Sonne" counts as well. Doubles as an Ear Worm
Even Evil Has Standards: She sure doesn't like traitors who would sell out their comrades in exchange for superpowers, and she won't hesitate to execute them.
Face Death with Dignity: Although she breaks down at first when Alucard arrives, he actually pauses and lets her compose herself and fire off one last shot before killing her.
Heroic Sacrifice: Villainous example. The Major glorifies her death, as it ensured the initial success of Operation Seelowe 2 by luring Alucard away from London.
Psychopathic Manchild: What with the color guard-esque shenanigans with her Musket and general squee-ing personality, Rip comes off less like a Vampiric monster and more like a really chipper 13 year-old who's totally excited about this whole Nazi thing.
Villainous Breakdown: Turns into a sobbing wreck when Alucard lands on her ship, her subordinate even tells her to get a hold of herself. To be fair, who wouldn'tFreak Out while facing down Alucard?
It should be noted that most people start freaking out when they see what Alucard is capable of. Rip starts freaking out the instant she realizes that he's in the area - while he's still fifteen miles away. He must have done something truly terrifying to her in the chapters of Hellsing - The Dawn that haven't been written to make that kind of impression on her. Also notable is that she's the only person who gets into a fight with Alucard that actually freaks out without fighting him. Every other villain besides her claims that they will kill Alucard.Not her.
Wicked Cultured: Shoots down fighter planes while singing opera.
The blond, sassyCat Boy who's "everywhere and nowhere". Although he looks like comic relief, he's not to be brushed off. Due to his powers, he's practically impossible to kill.
Villain Teleportation: One of his powers, due to the fact that he is "everywhere and nowhere" at once.
"In the time it took you to walk down the hall, I went all the way to London, had a freakishly large gun shoved in my mouth, got my head blown off, and came back here."
The second Millennium agent to confront Hellsing. He is modeled after Brazilian malandro characters and his powers are very similar to various DC and Marvel characters.
Jan and Luke Valentine are the first of the Millennium forces sent specifically to attack Hellsing.Appearance-wise, Luke is a sophisticated prettyboy. He is the "brains" of the operation and he believes that he can surpass Alucard. His vampiric power manifests as regeneration and super-speed. While Jan doesn't seem to have any specialized power whatsoever, he's more than happy to casually slaughter ordinary humans. Covered in piercings, he is the more vulgar and depraved of the brothers.Despite their status as some of the weaker nonhumans of the cast, they manage to inflict significant casualties on Hellsing's human personnel.After their deaths, Luke and Jan become the hosts of the Hellsing omakes at the end of each manga volume.
Not So Harmless: While they do end up biting off more than they can handle, Walter shrugging them off as barely being a threat proved quite inaccurate.
Oh Crap: When Alucard goes One-Winged Angel during his battle with Luke, Luke has an especially memorable one of these, which lasts right up until his death.
A secret organization that controls England from the shadows, and is modeled after the 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 finale reveals that Sir Penwood's grandson succeeded him.
