| 5 | Millennium in Hellsing refers to three things: A plan set in motion by UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler to create an army of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot vampire Nazi soldiers]] to bring about his Thousand Year Empire; the organization in charge of realizing this dream, and after their initial defeat (by Alucard's and Walter's hands), the operation to safely evacuate key members of Millennium to South America. Hitler's dream is long dead, but the operation still lives on within the deviously capable hands of The Major -- a crazy little man hell bent on starting another war [[ForTheEvulz just because he]] [[BloodKnight really likes war]]. |

| 15 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuoTobita (JP), Creator/GildartJackson (EN), Gérard Rouzier (FR) |
| 16 | |
| 17 | -->''"Gentlemen, all I ask for is war. War so grand as to make Hell itself tremble. Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers in arms what is it that you really want? Do you wish for further war as I do? Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is built with iron and lightning and fire? Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest leaving not even ravens to scavenge from this Earth!?"'' |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The commanding officer of Millennium, a unit of Nazi vampires hellbent on destroying London as a revenge for the Third Reich's defeat. He is a short, fat, Aryan Nazi, who was given orders 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. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | * AmusinglyAwfulAim: His aim is truly abysmal, leaving him unable to hit a target even if it is stationary and only a few feet away. He considers shooting [[spoiler:Integra]] in the eye an accomplishment for himself. |
| 23 | * AxCrazy: Hands down the biggest example in the series. ''Hands down.'' Even Alucard at his most terrifying doesn't approach the Major's level of derangement. |
| 24 | * BadassFingerSnap: The Major really enjoys using these during his speeches and while expanding on his schemes. |
| 25 | * BadassLongcoat: He's sporting a longcoat, and although he's a terrible fighter and an even worse shot, he is a ruthless, calm and fiercely intelligent opponent and the manga's BigBad. Hell, during the attack on London he climbs on the top of his airship to direct an imaginary orchestra, not even flinching when an attack helicopter shows up only a few feet away. |
| 26 | * BaddieFlattery: He chuckles approvingly when he notes Maxwell's Riconquista forces are only going to add to the slaughter. |
| 27 | * TheBadGuyWins: Subverted. The Major died ''thinking'' he got everything he wanted and had no regrets, but the time skip reveals that his plan ultimately failed. His "war" is written off as a terrorist attack, London is on the road to recovery, and Alucard returned after three decades of killing off his familiars, and gaining Schrodinger's omnipresent powers. |
| 28 | * BatmanGambit: Everything that he does leads to the point where Alucard [[spoiler:releases his back-up souls and is himself vulnerable, and thus can be killed. If that failed, Alucard would then be "poisoned" by Schrödinger's blood as he rejuvenated himself, thus removed from the world]]. The Major was planning on this to happen because since he sees Alucard as his antithesis, he must be destroyed. |
| 29 | * BigBad: Of the Manga and OVA, where his experiments with artificial vampires caused every single conflict in the story except the brief opening Cheddar village incident. |
| 30 | * BigEater: The Major loves fine food and remarks that both in the 1940s and during the time of the manga, Walter has run into him, ruining his enjoyment of his expensive steak dinner. At another point, the Major happily devours a sausage on a bun while his men try to get him to pay attention to the immense number of casualties they're taking. |
| 31 | * BloodKnight: He loves war solely for its own sake; he has nothing to prove and hopes to accomplish nothing. He just wants to fuck shit up. He even gives a five minute speech on how much and why he loves war right before he starts the attack on London. See it in its glory [[Quotes/{{Hellsing}} here]]. It's exceptionally fortunate for the rest of the world that he isn't interested in more power. |
| 32 | * CardCarryingVillain: Admits that he's a warmonger and an "irredeemable scoundrel" through and through. |
| 33 | * CharacterFilibuster: The man loves war and death, that's for sure. He also ''really'' loves to hear himself talk. |
| 34 | * TheChessmaster: All throughout the series, everybody dances according to the Major's deranged tune. [[spoiler:This guy's scheme allows him to destroy the capital of Britain without having to deal with any interference from one of the strongest armies in the world.]] |
| 35 | * ClaspYourHandsIfYouDeceive: He's fond of templing his fingers when speaking to others, showing that he is a shifty bastard. |
| 36 | * ClassicVillain: Wrath and Pride. He's dressed in white and is Alucard's polar opposite in every way. |
| 37 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Kohta Hirano also designed him purple, but a lighter shade than Walter's. In the OVA, it's switched for a cooler shade of yellow. |
| 38 | * CombatSadomasochist: In his speech where he talks about how he loves everything about war, he also includes the parts where he loses and the humiliation that comes with it. |
| 39 | * CreepyHighPitchedVoice: More prominent in the English dub but he has a noticeably higher pitch than the rest of the villains. |
| 40 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: In the OVA, where his otherwise unremarkable blonde hair is matched by yellow eyes, befitting a relatively normal-looking man with narrative importance. |
| 41 | * {{Cyborg}}: [[spoiler:Revealed to be one, after a shot from Seras' {{BFG}} leaves him HalfTheManHeUsedToBe but allows him to survive.]] |
| 42 | * DeathSeeker: The defining character trait of him and Millennium. Since WWII came to an end, what else is there for them to do? [[spoiler:But they had to orchestrate a new war for it.]] |
| 43 | ** He actually shows disappointment when Seras can't hit him because of the bulletproof glass. |
| 44 | ** Later, it turns out that it's not so much that he's seeking death itself so much as AGoodWayToDie. He was beaten and shot down in the street during World War II but refused to die and had Doc turn him into a cyborg instead. |
| 45 | * {{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 nor [[spoiler:Anderson]] was capable of this. |
| 46 | * DissonantSerenity: Arguably his scariest trait. He's raving on about war, bloodshed, and fanatical Nazism, but he's always polite and gently smiling. |
| 47 | * DragonInChief: He's shown to have had a superior officer during the Nazi's stint in Brazil but it's made clear The Major is the one running the show, with more knowledge of the plan and support from their followers, which he promptly uses to [[TheStarscream off his "boss"]]. |
| 48 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In spite of his villainy, [[spoiler:he refused to become a vampire when the chance was offered to him, [[DyingAsYourself wanting to die as a man]]. Of course, he then became a cyborg instead]]... |
| 49 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Unsurprisingly, given he's said that he wants to die the whole time.]] |
| 50 | * FatBastard: He's more chubby than obese, but he's still very much a bastard. |
| 51 | * AFatherToHisMen: |
| 52 | ** Zig-zagged. He may not care for his men individually, he'll order their deaths when they argue with him too much, and he displays no empathy at all, but he gives them a purpose, a speech for morale, and treats his soldiers pretty well overall. |
| 53 | ** He gives an official salute for Rip van Winkle, whose orders basically consisted entirely of being killed by [[TheJuggernaut Alucard]] at just the right time to keep him out of London as his soldiers attacked it. But she did what was asked of her, so he'll honor her. |
| 54 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He's a very sophisticated, intelligent, formal speaker that will speak politely while observing the deaths of millions and as he orders a bullet put through your brain if you're not on with his plans. He never drops the tone but the sick interest he has in causing war and terror marks him as far too sinister for this to be genuine. |
| 55 | * ForTheEvulz: He would even give [[Film/TheDarkKnight Heath Ledger's Joker]] a run for his money. He wants to watch the world burn, but The Major literally starts the firestorms. |
| 56 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: He is given an evil, foreboding presence, which is emphasized by scenes involving him twisting his face menacingly, with his glasses always noticeably catching the light, often [[ScaryShinyGlasses completely covering his eyes]]. |
| 57 | * GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:He got his war, so it didn't matter if he won it or not. He's happy in the end. Even if Integra says otherwise and likely doesn't understand what war constitutes in his mind.]] |
| 58 | ** This is ultimately averted as he was beaten and shot down during World War II but refused to die and let Doc change him into a cyborg. It's less that he's a graceful loser and more that [[ItsAllAboutMe he wants to decide how he goes out.]] |
| 59 | * TheHeavy: Aside from the StarterVillain, the Major is involved in every trial the Hellsing Organization faces. He's responsible for the creation of artificial vampires, the assault on the Hellsing manor and the attack on London. [[spoiler:Walter's]] involvement with Millennium even implies that Integra's uncle who attacked her was backed by the Major. |
| 60 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: While his ostensible aim is simply [[BloodKnight to wage war to the uttermost]], [[spoiler:he's ''really'' invested in destroying Alucard -- no matter what it takes]]. |
| 61 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He dislikes Alucard for his inhumanity [[spoiler:even though he himself is a cyborg]]. In fact, the major's actions and words are often at odds. While he states that he wants to die in battle [[spoiler:he would have died in World War II when he was shot and beaten by Russian soldiers. He lost but instead of dying like a soldier, he let Doc turn him into a cyborg to keep going.]] He wanted to make war but he just used his vampirized soldiers to attack London instead of instigating a larger-scale conflict that he could manipulate in the shadows (as it's been shown that he can get almost any corrupt a-hole in power to do what he wants on the promise of immortality). Ultimately, the Major was just a sadist that lashed out at the world spitefully while making his [[spoiler:death a grand swan song]] he believed he deserved. |
| 62 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: The most likely reason as to why the Major doesn't take to the battlefield himself; his marksmanship leaves a lot to be desired. When he tried to pull a YouHaveFailedMe by shooting one of his subordinates, despite the man standing still a few feet away, he was unable to hit him even once. |
| 63 | * KarmaHoudini: After all he did, the Major deserved to die at least ten times over, but this is a case where death ''allows him to get away with his atrocities''. Upon dying, as far as he knew, he got his war, killed Alucard, and hit something for once. In killing him, he is denied seeing his plan ultimately fail in the future. |
| 64 | * LargeHam: For starters, he gives a bombastic speech about war. |
| 65 | * LaughablyEvil: Monstrous warmonger he may be the Major is quite adept at making the audience laugh. He'll jovially banter with his subordinates and completely fails to execute a horrified underling even with a full pistol clip at point blank range. His allowing Rip Van Winkle the "honor" of being devoured by Alucard also has a BloodyHilarious ring to it, with Dok sheepishly sucking up to the Major while they watch the woman die painfully. |
| 66 | * LightIsNotGood: Dresses in a bright white suit, but he's anything but good. |
| 67 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: He dresses ''immaculately'' and other than devouring a hot dog at one point, he's always seen eating beef filet, accompanied by a glass of red wine. Of course, that said steak is so rare that blood pops out when he takes a bite certainly speaks volumes about his character. |
| 68 | * ManipulativeBastard: He's managed to convince all of Millennium to be so devoted to his plan that they will throw their lives away without question for his cause. He also [[spoiler:carefully sets up the London battlefield to keep Alucard and Hellsing distracted fighting his minions while he gets ready to use Schrödinger for his ultimate plan.]] |
| 69 | * NerdInEvilsHelmet: He's a stereotypical [[GeekPhysiques fat, bespectacled nerd]], has been described by Hirano as an "otaku", and despite his obsession with the war he's personally a terrible fighter. In the third OVA dub, apropos of nothing, he starts singing the theme for ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' -- [[GratuitousGerman in German]]. |
| 70 | * NightmareFetishist: Apart from his... weird... attitude to war, combat, and violence, he compliments Alucard extravagantly despite apparently finding him nauseating - as "my beautiful, dazzling Count". |
| 71 | * NonActionBigBad: He lets his minions do all the work for him. He does get into a gunfight with Integra at the end, but the only reason it's even a "fight" is that he kept missing at the beginning, and she only needed one bullet to put him down. He's ''that'' inept at shooting. Considering what a BloodKnight he is, all this is rather ironic. |
| 72 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Claims Integra and Seras are imperfect, inexperienced, and ''untested''. Therefore, deserving of the same scrutiny as if they were Alucard. |
| 73 | * NoNameGiven: |
| 74 | ** The three "heads" of Millennium all have this going for them. Most fans refer to him as "Montana Max", based on his prototypical appearance in Coyote, to prevent confusion with [[Manga/GhostInTheShell another Major]]. |
| 75 | ** Strangely enough, in the English credits of Ultimate Episodes V-VIII, his name was credited as "Major Max." No word if it's ''actually'' canon. |
| 76 | * OmnicidalManiac: His only goal is to wage eternal war, which will ultimately end either if they get defeated or if humanity is wiped out by it. |
| 77 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He's in his 80s but looks about 30. [[spoiler:Being a HollywoodCyborg does wonders for the aging process.]] |
| 78 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: To Alucard, whom considers his antithesis. |
| 79 | * PerpetualSmiler: [[spoiler: Even after his demise, he's still smiling because he thinks he won.]] |
| 80 | * PetTheDog: He sincerely compliments the Doktor's cooking in the prequel, who seems delighted to receive the praise. |
| 81 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Averted despite being an Aryan-appearing former SS commander. Despite the position, the Major doesn't drop a single hint of anti-Semitism or any form of prejudice and by inference of the rest of his character is likely far more interested in the Nazis as a war machine than anything else. |
| 82 | * PracticallyJoker: He's an AxCrazy warmonger who's default expression appears to be a SlasherSmile, generally has a jovial attitude, derives a good deal of pleasure from his murderous actions, and is hinted to have a twisted sense of showmanship with his speeches declaring his undying love of war. He also delights in his ArchEnemy relationship with Alucard, constantly expressing a desire to [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou be the one to destroy him.]] |
| 83 | * IRegretNothing: [[spoiler: "Excellent... this is exactly what I hoped my war would be."]] |
| 84 | * RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:Seras blowing him in-half reveals his body is full of metal and he admits even his brain is now stored in a computer chip.]] |
| 85 | * RousingSpeech: ...Yes. |
| 86 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: It is initially scarier to show him without the glare. Then you see the madness in his eyes... |
| 87 | * SlasherSmile: His teeth get nearly fang-like when he talks about war and killing. This gives him an intimidating aura which his [[NonActionBigBad fight skills certainly do not]]. |
| 88 | * TheSociopath: Classically so. The Major is charismatic, manipulative, and wickedly intelligent, even through his batshit insanity, but is simultaneously utterly bloodthirsty and utterly devoid of anything remotely resembling empathy. |
| 89 | * SoftSpokenSadist: When he's not hamming it up, the Major is calm and reserved. |
| 90 | * StrawNihilist: He cares about nothing but war, and is more than willing to plunge the whole world into an eternal war for the fun of it. |
| 91 | * TakeOverTheWorld: Averted. That may have been Millennium's original goal when it was first founded, but as far as the Major is concerned, he just cares about is creating war just for the sake of war. |
| 92 | * TermsOfEndangerment: He refers to Integra as "fräulein" and calls her beautiful, all in a sinisterly charming tone and at one point, in the same sentence where he describes that he causes war for no purpose other than to enjoy the slaughter it brings. |
| 93 | * ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil: A playground for the Battalion to fight [[spoiler:and to die in]]. |
| 94 | * ToneShift: When his plan really gets into gear, the plot starts and ''shit goes down''. |
| 95 | * TheUnfettered: Despite his relaxed manner, he's utterly devoted to completing his goal of starting a new war and [[spoiler:killing Alucard]]. To this end he will happily shoot his own men if they disobey him and states he has no interest in living beyond completing the above ambitions. |
| 96 | * VillainousBreakdown: Averted. [[spoiler:He just [[SlasherSmile grins away]] contentedly as everything burns around him.]] In the end, however, it's because he did not break down that ironically makes him even more of a lunatic, because he's convinced he's won despite Integra rightfully pointing out the flaws in his campaign. |
| 97 | * VillainInAWhiteSuit: Unlike [[DarkIsEvil his vampire soldiers]], he dresses in a pure-white suit. His expensive taste in dress emphasizes his difference in ambition from his soldiers: while they wear uniforms and follow orders, he wears what he wants and has the nigh-impossible desire to [[spoiler:kill Alucard, a vampire with godlike strength.]] |
| 98 | * VillainousValor: Comes with not fearing death. |
| 99 | * VillainousGlutton: Any time a big conflict is going on, he's chowing down. |
| 100 | * VisualPun: He cares for nothing but warfare and death and destruction, and then there's [[spoiler:his RoboticReveal]], showing him to be a literal war machine. |
| 101 | * WeCanRebuildHim: Implied. A flashback shows that he was attacked by a group of Allied soldiers during World War II and left bleeding profusely until he's found by Doc. [[spoiler:At this point, we know that Doc possesses incredible surgical skills and soon find out that the Major is actually a cyborg.]] |
| 102 | * WeHaveReserves: He doesn't care how many of his soldiers die just as so long it would be a wonderful war as a result. |
| 103 | %%%%* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In the manga. |
| 104 | * WickedCultured: |
| 105 | ** His devilishly persuasive rhetoric is accentuated with references to German opera, and he also quotes Shakespeare to provide a metaphor for his [[spoiler:killing Alucard]]. |
| 106 | ** During the assault on London he stands atop his zeppelin to watch the carnage while throwing his arms back and forth as though he is literally conducting the bloodbath beneath him. |
| 107 | * WorthyOpponent: Hellsing, who are precious to him [[spoiler:because they're the only ones worthy enough to kill them]]. Much more so with Alucard though, as it's a feeling that's reciprocated. Despite thinking he's completely crazy, Alucard acknowledges that the Major has human attributes that Alucard is fond of, such as an iron will and fierce convictions (plus, having the Major around means he gets to massacre his forces all over again, and that's always fun). The Major, on the other hand, respects Alucard's power more than anyone else. |
| 108 | ** Indeed, despite all the jabs he makes at the lack of humanity to Alucard, he word for word calls him a worthy opponent and an individual. He even says that he believes that Alucard would defeat Father Anderson and [[spoiler: Walter]], despite their power [[spoiler: and he's right on both accounts.]] |
| 109 | --->'''The Major:''' "He is less than a man, but also much more. [[spoiler: A century ago, his reign of terror paralyzed London. Five hundred years ago, he held back the Ottoman Empire.]]" |
| 110 | * XanatosGambit: Subverted. He ''thinks'' that whether Millennium wins or loses, he'll get his ''krieg'' and a shot at taking out Alucard. Then Integra [[BatmanGambit points out the flaws of his plan]] in a KirkSummation fashion. [[spoiler:He's 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.]] |
| 111 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Has yellow eyes, and is TheChessmaster of the series to boot! |
| 112 | [[/folder]] |

| 114 | [[folder:The Captain]] |
| 115 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captain01_3082.png]] |
| 116 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PatrickSeitz (growls for his werewolf form in the EN dub) |
| 117 | |
| 118 | TheDragon to the Major's BigBad. He is a seemingly-immortal werewolf, always seen in his full uniform with the collar turned up. Like Alucard and Anderson, the Captain is his organization's supernatural trump card, boasting great strength, speed, and abilities in all three of his forms. |
| 119 | ---- |
| 120 | * AlmightyJanitor: He is technically second-in-command of Millennium by virtue of his rank and is more than capable of overpowering the rest of his Nazi compatriots through sheer force, but he is completely deferential to the Major. What is interesting is that the Captain doesn't even display particular devotion to Millennium's ideals besides death by combat, yet stands with the Major until the very end. Given how he is constantly likened to a dog, it may be that the Captain is either incapable of or simply prefers not to take any initiative, living only to serve whatever master he is enthralled to. |
| 121 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He works for Millennium and formerly did for the Third Reich, but as his characterization is basically nonexistent, we never get to know the terms of his loyalty to any of them. |
| 122 | * AnimalisticAbomination: His full werewolf form is that of a gigantic white wolf with demonic red eyes. Its sheer power is enough that a missed snap sends Seras ricocheting like a pinball. |
| 123 | * AntiVillain: Whatever his reasons for fighting with Millenium, he genuinely doesn't seem interested in partaking in any of the atrocities during the Attack on London. He only steps in to [[spoiler: recruit Walter]] and fight Alucard. |
| 124 | * BadassLongcoat: Like Alucard and Anderson, his coat noticeably flutters around dramatically while he's kicking ass and he actually uses it in a fight with [[spoiler:Seras, by throwing it over her and blinding her to his pistol shots.]] |
| 125 | * BareHandedBladeBlock: He traps Walter's cutting wires with his hands without even losing a finger. It gets subverted a bit because he wears his uniform gloves while doing the stunt, but as they are regular gloves that get shredded while the wires only slightly cut into his fingers. |
| 126 | * BerserkButton: Barking at him is apparently the only thing that can piss him off, as Alucard and Walter quickly find out during the events of ''Dawn''. |
| 127 | * BoomerangBigot: In the OVA, he is dark-skinned, yet he is still part of a Nazi contingent. It gets justified to a point, though, as it can be guessed that his first employers were willing to make an exception in their racial doctrines in order to recruit a powerful being like him. It is also a bit of TruthInTelevision, as in real life, the Nazis had strong connections with the Arab world and even admitted a series of voluntary units collectively called the Free Arabian Legion, so a non-white Nazi is not as farfetched as theory mandates. However, in a subversion, whatever the reason that linked the Captain to the Nazis in the first place is, he seems virtually indifferent to their ideological aspects: he only wants [[spoiler:to die]]. |
| 128 | * TheCoatsAreOff: The Captain loses his coat at the beginning of his fight with Seras, then [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown proceeds to beat the crap out of her.]] He gets bonus points for [[ShirtlessScene wearing no shirt]]. |
| 129 | * CurbStompBattle: He subdued a young Walter as easily a trained soldier would an actual 14-year old child. What's worse is that he didn't use any of his werewolf powers besides the standard super strength. |
| 130 | * DeathEqualsEmotion: [[DeathSeeker He smiles an instant before he dies.]] |
| 131 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:During his fight against Seras, the Captain kicks a [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver]] tooth into her hands. Pip then surmises that the Captain wants to die. This is proven further when Pip shoves the tooth into the Captain's chest; the latter could have easily transformed into mist and avoided it but chose not to. His contented smile at his moment of death seals it.]] |
| 132 | * DemotedToExtra: In-universe example, it is likely that he was originally going to be Alucard's final opponent if Walter had not joined them since it ultimately didn't matter who fought him, as long as they challenged Alucard enough for him to drink blood again. The Major most likely decided it to be far more fitting for Walter to take final stage for maximum irony. Thus, the Captain is relegated to pointing Integra to the Major himself and he instead has Seras become his own final opponent. |
| 133 | * TheDragon: The second highest ranking member of Millennium, with only the Major [[NumberTwo above him in authority]]. Befitting this trope, he's Seras' final opponent before she joins Integra to confront the Major. |
| 134 | * DullSurprise: Almost nothing makes him express any emotion with his face; he only reacts to [[MassOhCrap very extreme events]], and still in a very limited way. His default expression is so static that it remains the same even after being headbutted right on the nose in ''Dawn''. |
| 135 | * EnigmaticMinion: His past, goals, or personality, if he has any, remain unknown for the end of the series. |
| 136 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: The Captain is much more chivalrous than the other members of Millennium. [[spoiler:He shoots Heinkel non-fatally and gives her a first aid kit, then points for Integra the way to find the Major (though considering that "death" was part of Major's plan, Major probably told Captain to do this).]] |
| 137 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Only known as The Captain, or in some scanlations, [[ThisIsMyNameOnForeign Hauptsturmführer]]. |
| 138 | * ExtremeDoormat: He does whatever the Major commands without hesitation or comment. |
| 139 | * FinalBoss: For Seras, being her final opponent in the story. |
| 140 | * {{Foil}}: He is set up as Alucard's opposite in many ways. First off, they are both nigh-immortal legendary supernatural creatures that serve mortal masters. However, the Captain is a stoic silent NobleDemon while Alucard is a very [[LargeHam dramatic]] NominalHero with a tendency toward monologues. Ironically, the two have very little interaction in the series proper. |
| 141 | ** They also dress comparably; both have {{Badass Longcoat}}s complete with hats, but have opposite tastes in style. Alucard prefers red, flamboyant dusters while the Captain maintains a stern green uniform. Their hats correspond accordingly; the Captain wears an ordinary field cap while Alucard has his oversized fedora. |
| 142 | ** In terms of ability, the Captain forms silver mist in serious battle and Alucard generates black shadows. Alucard's true power lies in his ability to absorb and utilize the souls of those he devours, while the Captain's SuperStrength and other abilities appear to be natural and completely his own. |
| 143 | * GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:After Pip stabs him with the silver tooth.]] |
| 144 | * {{Hunk}}: Handsome, muscular, and manly. It goes nicely with Alucard's TallDarkAndHandsome and Andersen's SilverFox. |
| 145 | * ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler:All but stated as he sets up his own KarmicDeath as state below.]] |
| 146 | * IntangibleMan: Has the ability to take on an invulnerable and intangible mist-like form. |
| 147 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Which he purposely invoked. The Captain, a Nazi, is killed by a tooth with silver filling or silver tooth ripped from a concentration camp prisoner. He tosses it to Seras as they fight.]] |
| 148 | * LastOfHisKind: Possibly. In ''Dawn'', Alucard identifies him as neither human nor vampire and muses that he thought his kind were wiped out centuries ago. |
| 149 | * LightningBruiser: Fast, strong, and durable in all three of his forms. |
| 150 | * MadeOfIron: He can regenerate wounds and appears to be immune to Walter's razor floss. He ''catches'' them in his hands in volume six without losing his fingers and was shown to have done so when he first met Walter in his youth. Notable considering even Alucard in his highest restriction levels isn't immune to being sliced by them. |
| 151 | * MinorMajorCharacter: As the canonical trump card of the organization, the Captain is Millennium's answer to Alucard and Anderson, and a singles duel against any of them seemed inevitable once his role was profiled. However, he gets involved in very few fights at all, almost all of them being just minor scuffles, and never faces Alucard or Anderson in sustained combat. |
| 152 | * MrFanservice: He's [[{{Hunk}} well-built, very handsome]], and also shirtless in the fight with Seras (which the OVA ''[[FemaleGaze lovingly]]'' animates). |
| 153 | * MyCountryRightOrWrong: It is rather fitting the Nazis have an actual werewolf amidst their ranks given the Germanic origins of werewolf folklore. It doesn't seem the Captain has any actually loyalty to Nazi ideals, he simply exists to serve. |
| 154 | * NiceGuy: Other than being a Nazi, there's no real indication that he's remotely a bad guy. He's very merciful, and even shares his handbook of evil after Schrödinger lost his. |
| 155 | * NoShirtLongJacket: He's shirtless under the BadassLongcoat, as seen during his fight with Seras. |
| 156 | * NobleDemon: Ironically, he is the only true monster in Millennium yet he is easily the most principled. |
| 157 | * NoNameGiven: The three "heads" of Millennium all have this going for them. Interestingly, he actually does wear a dog tag, implying that he actually has a name, but they are never shown in detail. Most fans refer to him as "Hans Günsche", based on his prototypical appearance in Desert SS. |
| 158 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Not even TheStoic Captain is immune [[spoiler:when Integra unleashes Alucard's Level Zero and releases all of his familiars on both Millennium and the 9th Crusade in a tidal wave of blood.]] His eyes noticeably widen and he attacks with uncharacteristic aggression, indicating legitimate fear on his part. |
| 159 | * OurWereWolvesAreDifferent: He's immortal for one, possesses three forms (human, WolfMan, and [[DireBeast Dire Wolf]]), and all of them have greater physical attributes than any standard human. [[spoiler:[[SilverHasMysticPowers Silver's still a killer, though.]]]] |
| 160 | * PerpetualExpression: His only facial expression is an intense stare. [[spoiler:That is, until his dying breath where he shows genuine joy.]] |
| 161 | * PetTheDog: Has a broken and bleeding Heinkel Wolfe at his mercy but decides against killing her, throwing her a first aid kit and gesturing her to stay out of the fight before leaving to go after Alucard and Seras. |
| 162 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's at least 155 years old by the end and looks to be in his forties at the worst, which implies that werewolves in the ''Hellsing'' universe are either immortal or incredibly long-lived. |
| 163 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are always a sinister crimson, but when he's fighting [[spoiler:Seras]] they actually glow menacingly, and it's in this fight that we finally see just what he's capable of. |
| 164 | * RiddleForTheAges: Who is he? Why did he throw in with Millenium? Is he the last werewolf or are there more somewhere? Everything about this character is an eternal mystery. |
| 165 | * SilentAntagonist: While in human form, he doesn't make any noise at all, not even pants or grunts. It serves to just make him more unsettling. |
| 166 | * SilverHasMysticPowers: [[spoiler:Well, he is a werewolf. Seriously, for all his badassery he gets killed by a single silver tooth - admittedly when it was punched directly into his chest after he's lost both his arms. [[DeathSeeker And he obviously wanted]] [[ILetYouWin it to happen.]]]] |
| 167 | * TheStoic: Never speaks a word, and only emotes twice (and only slightly every time) throughout the entire series. |
| 168 | * SuperStrength: He takes the cake in the series, being able to crush a steak knife into pieces with his hands, kick away armament warheads like they were soccer balls, beat a fully vampiric Seras into near submission with a few blows, and dismember Alucard with kicks alone. Notable since Anderson could only stagger Alucard with the physical strength in his punches. Given these extraordinary feats, it seems that he is the strongest character in terms of raw strength. |
| 169 | * TokenGoodTeammate: At least, compared with the other members of the Letztes Battalion. He's the only one in Millennium who doesn't seem to be malicious. |
| 170 | * TokenMinority: Kinda. He's the only werewolf in the entire series. In a series like this, you really think there'd be more. However, given what Alucard said in ''Dawn'', he appears to be the LastOfHisKind. |
| 171 | * TwoferTokenMinority: In the OVA, he is the only werewolf and one of the few dark-skinned characters in the series. |
| 172 | * UnskilledButStrong: He seems to have a more polished hand-to-hand expertise than Alucard or Anderson, as seen in his kicking techniques, but he noticeably lacks their useful variety of supernatural abilities; even in spirit form, his skill set is limited to physical attacks and straight defensive tricks. |
| 173 | * TheVoiceless: He speaks rarely in the manga and nothing at all in the OVA. He doesn't even have a voice actor. |
| 174 | * WolfMan: One of his forms. |

| 182 | |
| 183 | The [[MadScientist chief scientist]] of Millennium. He is the one responsible for the creation of the artificial vampires, made possible by his work involving "Shi" [[spoiler:(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 [[OnlySaneEmployee sanest]] of the Millennium bunch. He frequently scolds Warrant Officer Schrödinger. While not technically TheDragon, he has been with the Major as long as the Captain has (or even longer) and he is often at the Major's side so he could be considered a different right-hand man to the Major. |
| 184 | ---- |
| 185 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: His reaction to [[spoiler:Alucard summoning every last one of his millions of familiars]]. See the quote above. |
| 186 | * AndThenWhat: For all his ambitions, the Doctor did not seem have any real plans for what would happen after Millennium, given how he still believes that he can one day surpass Alucard. However, upon the Major's death, he is shown frantically trying to salvage his research so that he can begin anew elsewhere, which indicates a massive lack of foresight when Millennium's entire creed was simply to go out in a blaze of glory. |
| 187 | * DeadpanSnarker: Makes a few good quips in the series. |
| 188 | * DirtyCoward: After the death of the Major, Doctor attempts to run away with his research. Walter quickly puts him in his place. |
| 189 | * DragonTheirFeet: Not a fighter or leader, the Doktor avoids Hellsing when they go to confront the Major and [[spoiler:outlives his boss, for a bit, before Walter kills him and puts an end to any hope he had]] of continuing his research. |
| 190 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Dies in the most anticlimactic manner, by him getting crushed by ventilation, with basically no buildup]]. Even Zorin's death was more dramatic than his! |
| 191 | * EvilGenius: He's the one responsible for turning the Nazi army into a Nazi ''Vampire'' army and most likely [[spoiler: turning the Major into a cyborg.]] |
| 192 | * ForScience: 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. |
| 193 | * HandyRemoteControl: What he uses to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill off]] some Millennium members and [[spoiler: destroy the Jackal]]. |
| 194 | * HerrDoktor: He speaks with a German accent and works all the WWII era Nazi stereotypes he can. |
| 195 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:It is one of his proudest accomplishments that destroys him in the end.]] |
| 196 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Killed by one of his creations: a vampirized Walter, whom he considers to be one of his highest achievements.]] |
| 197 | * MadDoctor: Doctor is his title/the only name he's given and the process involved in creating the artificial vampires is implied to involve some kind of surgery. |
| 198 | * MadScientist: He is a master of biology and cybernetics and uses his scientific knowledge to support the Major's appetite for war. Caring only for recognition and happily serving Nazis to have a group to support him, the Doctor's ego leaves him no low he won't stoop to as long as he gets to create. |
| 199 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: The only name he's ever given is a doctor, and he's evil as they come. |
| 200 | * {{Narcissist}}: It's made clear, during his rant to Walter, that Doc thinks the world only for himself. |
| 201 | * NightmareFetishist: While everyone else is fleeing in horror of [[spoiler: Alucard's true form]], he reacts like a child envying his friend's fancy new toy. |
| 202 | * NoNameGiven: |
| 203 | ** The three "heads" of Millennium all have this going for them. The Doctor is referred to by fans as "Avondale Napyeer"/"Alan Napier" based on his prototype in Doc's Story. |
| 204 | ** From his name-tag shown in Volume 3 of the Manga, his name appears to be Avondale Napyeer and is used as such by the Hellsing fanbase. The name-tag is difficult to read, however, and no official name has been given thus far. |
| 205 | * OlderThanTheyLook: How he's still alive is anyone's guess, as he's likely over a hundred years old, and hasn't aged a ''day'' from the flashbacks to 1945, and he doesn't appear to be a vampire unlike the rest of Millennium. [[spoiler:He might be a cyborg like the Major, although his body seems to be mostly organic from being dismembered by Walter. It may be that he simply developed an anti-aging procedure that maintains his humanity.]] |
| 206 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Doc may well have a doctorate in EVERYTHING. |
| 207 | * PostClimaxConfrontation: [[spoiler:Walter]] chases him down after [[spoiler:everyone else in Millennium, including The Major, are dead]]. Dok gives a speech about his grand scientific ambitions, which [[spoiler:Walter]] dismisses as failures before [[spoiler:killing him]]. The winding down of the action parallels how concluded Dok's dreams were and that in spite of his ego, he only got to where he was under [[TheChessmaster The Major's]] leadership. |
| 208 | * RedRightHand: He has six fingers. |
| 209 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: All six lens for extra creepiness. |
| 210 | * SupremeChef: A minor example. In the middle of being attacked by Walter in ''The Dawn'', The Major notes that everything he's eating is superb, to which the Doktor says he's not worthy of such praise, implying that he was the one who cooked it. |
| 211 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Dies a slobbering wreck just as when Walter crushes him with a piece of ventilation]]. |
| 212 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He quite visibly loses his composure when Walter corners him and insults both his research and the entire battalion as well as the Major's dream all in one [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech sweeping monologue]].]] |
| 213 | * YesMan: "Enjoy it to the fullest, Major." |
| 214 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He frequently finishes off defeated subordinates via the remote-controlled chips in their bodies, which set them on fire. |

| 223 | The blond, [[MouthyKid sassy]] CatBoy who's "everywhere and nowhere". Although he looks like comic relief, he’s not to be brushed off; due to his powers, he’s physically ''(mathematically)'' impossible to kill or destroy. |
| 224 | |
| 225 | ---- |
| 226 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Flouncy, effeminate, and gets ''very'' excited when he’s told that he’ll have to share a booklet with [[{{Hunk}} the Captain]]. Ironic when Nazis were known for killing gay people. |
| 227 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Adorable, whimsical, entirely evil and not to be overlooked. In addition to being a Nazi, [[spoiler: he’s a walking contradiction who can't be killed except by choice.]] |
| 228 | * CatBoy: He has cat ears. |
| 229 | * CatsAreSnarkers: As the quote above shows, he can get away with insulting ''[[BigBad the Major!]]'' |

| 232 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Darker Yellow. |
| 233 | * DeathIsCheap: He’s impossible to kill. Even if you blow his brains out he’ll survive and be right as rain mere seconds later. |
| 234 | * DeathOfPersonality: [[spoiler:He’s the only soul Alucard hasn't killed off in order to come back, which means he somehow regained enough self-awareness to exist again, and yet Alucard remains the dominant personality.]] |
| 235 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: It doesn't help design-wise he is basically Seras sans the bust size. |
| 236 | * EnfantTerrible: A Nazi kid who's just as sociopathic as their superiors. |
| 237 | * HumanoidAbomination: A quantum theory taken in human form with cat ears. |
| 238 | * InexplicablyAwesome: What's the deal with his WrongContextMagic? Your guess is as good as ours. |
| 239 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:When you get right down to it--Schrodinger physically cannot die, not even after being absorbed by Alucard, and being absorbed by Alucard resulted in an TheBadGuyWins scenario for him]]. |
| 240 | * LaserGuidedTykebomb: Joined Millennium as a child, and [[spoiler: was created for the sole purpose of poisoning Alucard.]] |
| 241 | * ManOfKryptonite: [[spoiler:To ''Alucard''. As the Major reveals, Schrödinger's power of existing everywhere and nowhere at least requires him to be aware of himself. When his blood is absorbed by Alucard, his awareness is lost along the three million others the vampire just absorbed, becoming connected to them all -- Alucard included. He forgets where (how?) to exist, and as a result takes Alucard with him. The scariest thing is: ''[[NearVillainVictory it nearly worked]]''. It took Alucard selectively killing off ''every single life he'd absorbed'' except Schrödinger's (who ''still'' can't be killed), a process that took '''three decades''', to finally come back into existence.]] |
| 242 | * MeaningfulName: His very existence is pretty much a big ShoutOut to UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat. He both exists and doesn’t exist at the same time. |
| 243 | * MouthyKid: Or a BrattyHalfPint, if you ask the Doktor. Either way, he is a font of smarty remarks to the adults of the series. |
| 244 | * MrFanservice: He’s pretty young (or at least ''looks'' young), but it's hard to deny that he qualifies, being a sleek, feminine-looking boy who wears ridiculously short shorts and often poses himself like a female model. One scene has him lounging next to the Major's chair and flashing bedroom eyes at the camera. |
| 245 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Schrodinger" is not just a code name. Apparently, [[spoiler:Alucard]] did not get the hint... |
| 246 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: It may take a while, but in the very end the fact that he is completely unkillable and [[spoiler:Alucard's only remaining familiar means that Alucard is functionally invincible when he finally manages to wrest himself back from oblivion.]] |
| 247 | * NightmareFetishist: The various horrors of the Battle of London do nothing but bring [[SlasherSmile a smile to his face]]. |
| 248 | * NonActionGuy: In spite of his Nazi background, sociopathy and innate ability that some would state is even more overpowered than Alucard's (which is saying ''[[InvincibleHero a lot]]''), Schrödinger never actually engages in combat. His only known weapon is a standard issue combat knife, which is only used to [[spoiler:decapitate himself so he can be absorbed into Alucard]]. |
| 249 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he looks like a young boy and mostly acts as comic relief, he’s certainly not one to be taken lightly. [[spoiler:After all, he’s the one to end up defeating Alucard, if only temporarily.]] |
| 250 | * OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: ''Self-inflicted''.]] |
| 251 | %%* PluckyComicRelief |
| 252 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers a rather epic one to Zorin. |
| 253 | -->''"Every soldier dreams of leading the charge against the foe, such is their reward. But what of a lone suffering commander, what is his reward when they fail; When they go against orders, lose men and prove themselves inept?"'' |
| 254 | * RightHandCat: Played with. He is a cat''boy'' who is often seen with Major, posing. |
| 255 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: You can mortally maim his body, but he’ll look completely fine afterwards as he is both alive and dead at the same time. |
| 256 | * SissyVillain: Looks and acts quite effeminate and doesn't do any fighting. |
| 257 | * SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:He unleashes a nasty one upon decapitating himself. This is his killing blow to Alucard.]] |
| 258 | * StayingAlive: The first time he gruesomely dies and nonchalantly come back to life, it's a shocking surprise. Then he make it his signum. |
| 259 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: He cuts his own head off in order to pool into the blood of Alucard's familiars, supposedly killing them both]]. He was enough to take him out of the confrontation with the Major, but [[BackForTheFinale it doesn't stick]]. |
| 260 | %%* {{Troll}} |
| 261 | * {{Teleportation}}: He possesses a rather broken version of this. As long as he’s aware of his own existence, he can appear anywhere he wants, even inside people's minds, as he is "both everywhere and nowhere". |
| 262 | * UncertainDoom: His ultimate fate is left ambiguous. The Major claims that he was able to erase Alucard since Schrödinger was unable to recognize himself . However, Alucard is able to eventually restore himself into existence, meaning Schrödinger has also regained self-awareness. Given how Alucard repeats Schrödinger's CatchPhrase in regards to his powers, it may be that [[MentalFusion the two have now become one and the same]]. The OVA reinforces this point by giving Alucard Schrödinger's pink eyes. |
| 263 | * VillainTeleportation: |
| 264 | ** One of his powers, due to the fact that he’s "everywhere and nowhere" at once: |
| 265 | ---> '''Schrödinger:''' 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. |
| 266 | ** He can appear ''inside Seras' subconscious'': |
| 267 | --->'''Zorin:''' What are you doing in here? |
| 268 | --->'''Schrödinger:''' Don't be silly, Frau Zorin. [[CatchPhrase I am everywhere and nowhere.]] |
| 269 | * WrongContextMagic: ''Seriously.'' Most of the power players rely on blatant supernatural powers (whether divine, demonic or whatever you consider the werewolf capabilites of the Captain are) or through an indirect source (like how Father Anderson can store multitudes of bayonettes, Zorin's dark hand eye or Rip Van Winkle's implied magical bullets.) Schrödinger though is an embodiment of a ''theory of quantum mechanics'', making his powers unlike anything else and no explanation is ever given. It defies most supernatural styled abilties, seeming like something out of science fiction. |

| 276 | A top secret project that was started by Adolf Hitler during World War II and was headed by the Major. The purpose of the project was to create artificial vampires to act as [[SuperSoldier elite troops]] to secure Germany's victory in the war. While the project was dealt a devastating blow by Alucard and Walter, the Major and his men were able to escape and continue their research into modern day, untill they were ready to unleash their lab made vampires onto the world. |
| 277 | ---- |
| 278 | * NaziZombies: Or more accurately Nazi Vampires, but the core concept is still there. They were created to be the Nazi's arrmy of undead {{Super Soldier}}s. |
| 279 | * ShoddyKnockoffProduct: What many consider the Millennium vampires to be compared to true vampires like Alucard and Seras. The artificial vampires created by Millennium only have the enhanced physical attributes of a vampire, don't have nearly the same level of regeneration, cannot become StrongerWithAge, only have the ability to make ghouls instead of other vampires, and are weaker than even a fledgling vampire like Seras. This is even further supported by the fact that they were the product of research to copy the vampiric essence left over in [[spoiler:Mina Harker]] and not even the essence of a true full vampire like Alucard, thus making them like copies of a copy. |
| 280 | * YourVampiresSuck: Alucard has absolutely no respect for them. In fact, he's offended that they even call themselves vampires. |

| 292 | As part of Operation Seelowe 2, she is tasked with attacking Hellsing Manor, laying siege to it with Seras and the Wild Geese inside. [[SocialDarwinist As a vampire]], she is enthusiastic about killing humans, frequently calling them "insects". Zorin makes use of her [[MasterOfIllusion ability]] to torture her opponents, [[ColdBloodedTorture physically]] and [[MindRape mentally]]. She has an intense fixation on Seras for some reason. |
| 293 | ---- |
| 294 | * AxCrazy: Easily the craziest below the Major. However, he's at least calculated in his insanity. She emphatically isn't. |
| 295 | * BadBoss: She's horrible to her subordinates. Case in point, she tells them to go ''forward'' into Seras's anti-air gunfire rather than retreat, which results in her airship being shot down. |
| 296 | * BoisterousWeakling: Ultimately, Zorin is this. Zorin brags that she can take on Seras and the Wild Geese as they're weakling without Alucard, even though the major told them that Seras is an untested variable and thus deserves the same scrutiny as Alucard. While she was able to kill off the Wild Geese, much of it was due to her illusion magic giving her guys time to figure out where to avoid the mines and bypass their defenses. Even then, she had lost more than half of her men before they even made it to the Hellsing Manor due to a mixture of Seras shooting down her zeppelin and Pip blowing them up, all of which stemmed from her decision to bum-rush when the Major told her ''not'' to do so. And then there's her mocking Pip's efforts as being in vain by calling him a gnat in front of a grieving Seras, which results in the remainder of her group getting gorily killed off by [[UnstoppableRage a truly-pissed off Seras]]. |
| 297 | * BrawnHilda: Has a tall, androgynous and muscular appearance, as well as somewhat conical and bulky breasts compared to the other females in the series. Pip Bernadotte calls her an "ugly hag" several times as a insult. Bonus points in that she's from Germany. |
| 298 | * BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler:After nearly killing Seras and Pip she decides to gloat and watch them suffer, not thinking to stop Seras [[GenreBlindness from taking Pip's blood]].]] |
| 299 | * BoomerangBigot: Very much like the Captain, she is a dark-skinned Nazi, and unlike him, Zorin does enjoy being a Nazi. As said in his entry, this was occasionally TruthInTelevision, although in this case Zorin might have been given an additional free pass if she already had her dark powers before being turned into a vampire; Nazis were [[{{Ghostapo}} really interested in occultism]] after all. |
| 300 | * TheBrute: Her only smart tactic is the severe MindRape she inflicts on her enemy, and ultimately it's just another kind of brute force. |
| 301 | * ColdBloodedTorture: She downright pulls a MindRape on Seras and then horrifically mutilates her down to a T. |
| 302 | * ContraltoOfStrength: Is easily the most dangerous of the Major's minions and even leads her own squad of troops, and of course speaks in a deep voice provided by none other than Creator/YokoSoumi. Ultimately, subverted as she's shown to be a BoisterousWeakling. |
| 303 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Seras literally turns her into a red smear on a wall by grinding her face into it like butter on burnt toast… and she [[AssholeVictim deserved every second of it]]]]. |
| 304 | -->[[spoiler:'''Seras:''' How does it feel having someone fuck with ''your'' head?! How does it feel, you bitch?!"]] |
| 305 | * DarkActionGirl: More brutish than Rip Van Winkle. |
| 306 | * DeathByIrony: She threatened to paint the walls with Seras' blood. Guess how she dies. |
| 307 | * EvilGloating: Engages in taunts and vicious celebration often. |
| 308 | * EvilRedhead: Orange hair to be exact, with a [[FieryRedhead fiery temper]] to boot. |
| 309 | %%* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow |
| 310 | * {{Expy}}: Of the villainous CanonForeigner Incognito from the first ''[[Anime/{{Hellsing}} Hellsing]]'' anime, if not closely, at least overall. Aside from both serving Millennium (or the organization's stand-in in Incognito's case), they are both androgynous people with stylized bodies, vaguely African features, green eyes, a large imposing weapon and a set of arcane tattoos in one side of their faces. Also, just like Incognito has a strange and apparently supernatural lidless eye, Zorin has a supernatural eye in her palm. |
| 311 | * EyesDoNotBelongThere: She has one on the palm of her right hand. |
| 312 | * FatalFlaw: Her [[LeeroyJenkins recklessness]] and cruelty. Had Zorin just heeded to the Major's orders and not hastily invaded the Hellsing manor, Millennium would have had a much better shot at succeeding as Seras would never have had the opportunity to awaken her vampiric power and thus overpower the troops. |
| 313 | * GeneralFailure: It's quite obvious that she got her position due to her magical ability rather than any actual tactical skill. |
| 314 | * HateSink: Zorin is an [[StupidEvil incompetent]], vile military commander in contrast to the despicable but brilliant Major and cements her loathsomeness in her [[BadBoss callous mistreatment of her men]] and [[MindRape use of her psychic abilities]] to leave her enemies in mental anguish and helpless as she slashes through swathes of the Wild Geese, completely lacking in any intelligence or admirable traits to offset her nature. Her brutal death at the hands of Seras is ''very'' well-deserved. |
| 315 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Kills Pip Bernadotte in front of Seras]]. |
| 316 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: She disobeys a direct order to ''not'' attack Hellsing. The events that follow, including her murder of Pip Bernadette, end up causing Seras to become a full vampire and brutally ending her in one of the most iconic scenes of the series. |
| 317 | * HumansAreInsects: She firmly believes in this, even going as far as to say it out loud. |
| 318 | * KarmicDeath: Zorin is killed by Seras Victoria, the very person she sought to target and kill. It becomes even more karmic as her wasting time gloating after having mutilated Seras and killed Pip gave her the opportunity to drink his (whom she just killed earlier and mocked his death as being in vain) blood and become a full-fledged vampire, obliterating her forces and then herself, and that she wanted to paint the Hellsing Manor in Seras's blood, only for the inverse to happen. To top the cherry on the karmic cake, just as how Zorin destroys people's minds with her illusion magic, Seras literally destroys her mind by grinding her head to a wall at full speed. Her PreMortemOneLiner to Zorin as she kills her says it best: |
| 319 | --> ''"How does it feel having someone fuck with '''your''' head!? HOW DOES IT FEEL, YOU '''BITCH!?'''"'' |
| 320 | * KickTheDog: Pretty much everything she does is in the Hellsing Manor is to demonstrate how petty and wicked she is. |
| 321 | ** Traps one Wild Geese member in an illusion of him coming home with dead daughter (even though he knew well that she's dead and thus it's an illusion) and then gleefully slices him in half. |
| 322 | ** Forces Seras to relive that horrible incident from her childhood and then mutilates her by chopping her left arm off and slashing her eyes. |
| 323 | ** Brutally kills Pip by stabbing him from behind with her scythe and then mocks his death by calling him "an insect" in front of a grieving Seras. |
| 324 | * KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Her specialty. Zorin uses her illusion powers to confuse and mentally break her enemies before killing them in horrific ways. |
| 325 | * LadyLooksLikeADude: She's got a very masculine appearance and is extremely aggressive. |
| 326 | * LeeroyJenkins: The Major specifically orders her ''not'' to attack Hellsing HQ due to Integra and Seras being incalculable variables and thus deserving of the same scrutiny as Alucard. What's the first thing Zorin does? [[BondVillainStupidity Attack Hellsing HQ.]] |
| 327 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: She mind-rapes Seras, cuts off her arm, slices her eyes, and stabs her with her scythe. As Seras screams in agony, she cackles "More! More!" |
| 328 | * MasterOfIllusion: Her power which uses for MindRape. |
| 329 | * MeaningfulName: Her last name, Blitz, is German for "lightning." It's likely a reference to blitzkrieg ("lightning war"), a military tactic used by Nazi Germany during World War II. |
| 330 | * MindRape: Her favorite tactic is to force her away into her victim's mind and scramble it with fear and confusion. |
| 331 | * MoreHateableMinorVillain: While the Major is clearly despicable, he still has a number of entertaining aspects about him. The same cannot be said with Zorin Blitz, who's little more than what amounts to a bully with illusion magic that she uses to MindRape her enemies, leaving them helpless before brutally murdering them. She's also shown to be a BadBoss whose LeeroyJenkins approach gets more than half of her men killed before they even reach the Hellsing Manor. |
| 332 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Because she couldn't wait to attack Hellsing HQ before the main troops arrived and because she couldn't resist playing with Seras, she ends up allowing Seras to fully awaken her vampiric power. Which leads to Seras killing her and The Captain, preventing Alucard's death as well as protecting Integra. Ultimately she prevented Millennium from having more than just a partial victory all because she couldn't sit back and wait. |
| 333 | * ObviouslyEvil: Let's see, AxCrazy, PsychoForHire, SinisterScythe, HeroKiller and ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow. Does she really look like anything else? |
| 334 | * PsychoForHire: The most unstable of the Major's minions. |
| 335 | * PsychoLesbian: Some translations have Pip calling Zorin one. She is, at the least, fixated on hurting Seras. |
| 336 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: To quote [[EvenEvilHasStandards Schrödinger]]: |
| 337 | --> ''"Rest assured, she'll be ending your unlife any moment now. Auf Wiedersehen..."'' |
| 338 | * {{Sadist}}: You know how sadistic someone is when they say "I ''love'' the way you '''SQUIRM BENEATH MY BOOT HEEL!!!!''' |
| 339 | * ShoutOut: Her name is a reference to Film/JamesBond villain [[Film/AViewToAKill Max Zorin]] and the German tactic ''blitzkrieg''. Also, Hirano sometimes works phrases into her tattoos, such as [[Manga/{{Trigun}} "Trigun Maximum"]] and [[RuleOfFunny "Elvis Lives"]]. In one of the omake, he admits to doing this because of the tedious detail involved. |
| 340 | * SinisterScythe: Her weapon highlights how much she loves spreading death. |
| 341 | * SlasherSmile: Zorin ''really'' enjoys using her powers. |
| 342 | * SmugSnake: She was specifically warned by the Major not to underestimate Seras... |
| 343 | * TheSocialDarwinist: To be exact, she compares anyone she kills and is about to kill to insects, in particular, gnats. Ironically, Schrodinger compares [[spoiler:Zorin's death]] to that of an insect's. |
| 344 | * TheSociopath: A classic example of a low-functioning type. She's {{sadist}}ic, [[SmugSnake arrogant]], [[LackOfEmpathy completely devoid of empathy]] and takes extreme pleasure in [[MindRape breaking her victims' psyches]] before [[ColdBloodedTorture horribly breaking them physically]]. |
| 345 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Pip comes up with a well thought out plan to stop the Millennium vampires through the use of claymore mines to disrupt their charge and then pick them off with gunfire in the confusion, but nothing could have prepared him for Zorin taking his men off-guard by creating an illusion of herself as a giant, thus giving her forces time to figure out where the mines are and bypass them. Seras manages to snap them out of it, but by the time she does, it's too late - they've closed in. Then she turned out to be this for Millenniun, as well. Her impatience and rash tactics led to her losing at least a third of Millennium's forces, most of which didn't even survive the initial destruction of their Zeppelin. She then continues to goad Seras, until she finally awakens her vampiric power and literally wipes the floor with her until she's reduced to a red smear on the wall. |
| 346 | * StupidEvil: She put so much effort into being a vicious sadist that she blatantly refuses to listen to the Major when he specifically told her ''not'' to attack the Hellsing HQ without reinforcements (believing that her Vanguard alone can handle the job) as Seras and Integra are untested variables and thus deserve the same scrutiny as Alucard, and spends her time gloating [[spoiler:after having killed Pip, failing to stop Seras from drinking his blood and becoming a full-fledged vampire]]. When she's called out on her disobedience by the Major via Schrodinger, [[spoiler:he chooses to [[KarmicDeath let Seras eviscerate her]], not even giving her a dignified death with a suicide chip activation]], for being such a moron. |
| 347 | * SuicidalOverconfidence: She thinks that her vanguard is enough to take Hellsing HQ without reinforcements. She is very, very wrong. |
| 348 | * TattooedCrook: The tattoos activate a very visual illusion. |
| 349 | * TemptingFate: Engages in EvilGloating in front of a grieving Seras after she murdered Pip and brutally tortured her, and then she calls Pip a gnat... |
| 350 | * ThirdEye: Given that the eye on her palm activates whenever she activates her MindRape powers. |
| 351 | * TooDumbToLive: She explicitly disobeys orders from The Major to ''not'' attack Hellsing HQ due to Integra and Seras being incalculable variables and thus deserving of the same scrutiny as Alucard. While her attack ''does'' end up killing Pip and almost all of the Geese, she proceeds to gloat and mock Pip's death as being in vain instead of finishing the job; this only infuriates Seras, who drinks his blood and becomes a true vampire. Seras then proceeds to use the power that Zorin inadvertently granted to her by murdering Pip [[TheDogBitesBack to brutally and viciously destroy her]]. The Major doesn't even dignify Zorin with a suicide chip activation because of how badly she fucked up by disobeying him. |
| 352 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: 99% of her characterization is depicted as [[BoisterousWeakling essentially getting overconfident and getting her ass kicked as a result]]. When the Major tells her ''not'' to take Seras lightly, Zorin dismisses it and says that without Alucard, Seras and the rest of Hellsing are weaklings. When she's told ''not'' to charge Hellsing manor before his forces arrive, she does so anynway and loses 80% of her forces before they even make it to the Hellsing manor. [[TooDumbToLive And then there's her calling Pip a gnat as she kills him.]] |
| 353 | * UnskilledButStrong: Zorin largely relies on her illusion powers to do the work for her. However, once Seras dispels her illusions, Zorin is unable to do anything and ultimately gets the floor wiped by her. |
| 354 | * VillainousBreakdown: Gets one when [[spoiler:Seras regains her strength from drinking Pip's blood and decimates her men, and it gets worse when she fails to MindRape her due to her having Pip's soul]]. |
| 355 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:The Major lets Seras [[{{Gorn}} brutally murder]] Zorin for disobeying orders. Normally he would have activated her chip long before then, but he and the Doktor were busy dealing with "a new toy" (implied to be Walter), so he just lets Seras mop the floor (er, wall) with her instead.]] |

| 364 | -->''"Tinker-tailor-soldier-sailor, my bullet punishes all without distinction."'' |
| 365 | |
| 366 | Millennium's magical sharpshooter and PerkyFemaleMinion, seen singing opera in her first appearance. She compares herself to Kaspar, the antagonist of the German opera ''Theatre/DerFreischuetz''; appropriately, her weapon is a musket with [[BizarreAndImprobableBallistics magic bullets]]. |
| 367 | |
| 368 | ---- |
| 369 | * AcePilot: She pilots a helicopter to the ''Eagle'' using her feet, perfectly relaxed, casually singing and loading her musket. |
| 370 | * AffablyEvil: Rip is basically just as crazy as everyone else in the series, but she at least manages to be bright and cheerful about it. |
| 371 | * AlasPoorVillain: Even taking into account Rip's [[ThoseWackyNazis allegiances]], her death is utterly horrifying. |
| 372 | * AuthorAppeal: Rip Van Winkle has been described as "The sum of all Hirano's fetishes". |
| 373 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Clearly, olive drab just doesn't cut it for such a CulturedBadass. |
| 374 | * BackForTheDead: Summoned as one of Alucard's familiars, then burns in Anderson's holy fire. |
| 375 | * TheBait: Rip's role in the Major's EvilPlan was basically to draw Alucard away from London and trap him aboard the ship she commandeered using his weakness for running water. The AbridgedSeries makes this explicit by calling this part of the Major's plan "Operation Bait Van Winkle." |
| 376 | * BespectacledCutie: Heavily played with. She's got the "cute young woman with glasses" part down, but she's CuteAndPsycho, revelling in slaughtering enemy soldiers. |
| 377 | * BizarreAndImprobableBallistics: 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. The closest thing to an explanation anyone offers is that her bullets must be somehow "magical"; she can control where and when they strike. |
| 378 | * BloodFromTheMouth: Dies choking on a truly nauseating amount of blood, a logical result of having a musket buried in her chest. |
| 379 | * BreastAttack: Gets a particularly ''brutal'' one by Alucard. He took her musket and impaled her through her left breast with it. Keep in mind that her musket ''has no bayonet''. |
| 380 | * CatchPhrase: Varies by translation, but it's usually something along the lines of "Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, my bullet punishes all without distinction". As well as her rendition of "O diese Sonne". |
| 381 | * CloudCuckoolander: She's uncomfortably jovial and childish for a Nazi and she sings ''Der Freischütz'' while shooting down incoming fighter-bombers with absolute glee. |
| 382 | * CreepyBlueEyes: It's funny how large, cheerful blue eyes can go from [[InnocentBlueEyes innocent]] to terrifying on the right sort of person. |
| 383 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Gets impaled through the lung with a rifle and has her blood sucked out by Alucard, all while she is drowning in her own blood. |
| 384 | %%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow |
| 385 | * CuteAndPsycho: An attractive, bespectacled young woman, who merrily sings opera while killing enemy soldiers. |
| 386 | * CuteMonsterGirl: A cute vampire woman, to be precise. |
| 387 | * DarkActionGirl: Less brutish than Zorin, but still a force to be reckoned with. |
| 388 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Bizarrely enough, Rip may be Millennium's most moral commander second to the Captain. She sure doesn't like traitors who would sell out their comrades in exchange for superpowers, and quite cheerfully executes them when given the opportunity. [[HypocriticalHumor That being said, the very first thing Millennium does onscreen is betray their high command]]. |
| 389 | * ExactWords: English Dub at least. When Rip Van Winkle says, "You definitely deserve everything that's coming to you," after you betrayed your crew and country to join her ranks as an immortal vampire, [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves she'll deliver just that.]] |
| 390 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: 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. |
| 391 | * FriendlySniper: Despite being a Nazi, she does seem more approachable in comparison to her peers. |
| 392 | * GenderFlip: Unlike the traditionally male Rip Van Winkle, this one is depicted as a young-looking woman. |
| 393 | * GlassCannon: Her sniping skills and magic bullets make her a devastating ranged opponent, but otherwise is rather defenseless in close quarters and in comparison to those before her was beaten down rather easily. |
| 394 | * HandyFeet: She has shown to use her feet in various ways, such as piloting a helicopter or to hold her musket to aim. |
| 395 | * HeroicSacrifice: Villainous example. The Major glorifies her death, as it ensured the initial success of Operation Seelowe 2 by luring Alucard away from London. |
| 396 | * HomingProjectile: Her magic bullets supposedly have magic redirection features. |
| 397 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She gleefully executes a trio of British turncoats for handing an aircraft carrier over to her, citing that they [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves betrayed their comrades to do it]]. This is mere hours after she helped The Major murder some aging senior SS-officers after stringing them along with ([[ILied false]]) promises to turn them into vampires in exchange for their financial support. |
| 398 | * IdiotHair: Rip has a massive ahoge, but in her case it doesn't actually denote her intelligence as she's quite crafty. |
| 399 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: With her musket, a blunt object, through her chest. |
| 400 | * InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Her entire death scene, which, due to Alucard taking his time with her, is shown in luxurious detail. |
| 401 | * LadyLooksLikeADude: She looks like a younger version of Walter, having slicked back long hair and wearing suits with defined shoulders. |
| 402 | * LadyOfWar: A very giggly one with a questionable grasp on reality, but she is one of Millennium's more cultured members, spins her musket like a color guard and compared to [[TheBrute Zorin Blitz's approach]], her fighting style is more about precision than out and out power. |
| 403 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Her trademark shark smile. |
| 404 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Rip appeared in ''Dawn'', meaning that she is at least 60 years old, 'cause, you know, vampire. |
| 405 | %%* PerkyFemaleMinion |
| 406 | * PinballProjectile: Her magic bullets can bounce off objects and other things that would imply magic. |
| 407 | * PsychopathicManchild: |
| 408 | ** What with the color guard-esque shenanigans with her musket, her cheerful pink alarm clock, her yellow parasol, 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. |
| 409 | ** Creator/TaliesinJaffe compares her to a vicious child in a nursery rhyme, in the way she talks ("Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor"), her general cheerfulness in her psychosis, and how she seems to have an almost Little Red Riding Hood-esque naivete in just what she's getting herself into, happily believing herself a "hunter" just like in her favorite opera despite knowing what happens to that hunter in the end. The latter is especially prominent when she is in essence [[spoiler:devoured by a big bad wolf]]. |
| 410 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: The crew of the ship she captured helped her do it in exchange for vampire transformation. She gave them speeding bullets instead. See EvenEvilHasStandards and ExactWords. |
| 411 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: Like everyone else who wears glasses in this series, they produce glare at dramatic occasions. |
| 412 | * ShoutOut: To ''Der Freischütz'', which supplied the idea for her fantastic bullets, and gets referenced in dialogue. |
| 413 | * SlasherSmile: When comes the time to go for the kill, her smile turns into this. |
| 414 | * VillainousBreakdown: She starts having one when Alucard is in proximity of the ship ''before he even lands''. Most vampires have to see Alucard actually get serious before they become aware of how completely screwed they are, but Rip had met him before years ago in ''Dawn''. It seems he left an impression, because she spends the entire "fight" with him ''scared out of her mind''. |
| 415 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Exaggerated. Van Winkle is utterly ''terrified'' of Alucard, who she equates with Zemiel the Black Huntsman who kills Kaspar at the end of ''Der Freischütz''. Just sensing Alucard's approach is enough to bring her to her knees and go into a panic. |
| 416 | * WickedCultured: Shoots down fighter planes while singing opera. |

| 425 | |
| 426 | The second Millennium agent to confront Hellsing. He is modeled after Brazilian ''[[TheTrickster malandro]]'' characters and his powers are very similar to various [[Creator/DCComics DC]] and [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] characters. |
| 427 | ---- |
| 428 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: His cards are this. At one point they slice ''oncoming bullets''. |
| 429 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:He comes back only to die again in the final battle.]] |
| 430 | * BadassInANiceSuit: He's one of the toughest of Alucard's early enemies, and impeccably dressed. |
| 431 | * BadBoss: While not their technical boss, he lets the Brazilian police be killed wantonly. Then again, he ''is'' dressed like what people in Brazil called a scoundrel, back in the 1940s. |
| 432 | * TheBarnum: He's based on the Brazilian equivalent of this trope. |
| 433 | * BatmanGambit: It didn't work, [[InvincibleHero predictably]]. |
| 434 | * CardsOfPower: His weapon of choice are magical playing cards. He can use them to seemingly teleport or at least disguise his movements and serve as powerful cutting weapons, capable of slicing bullets. Apparently, their magical capabilities also disable or at least heavily hinder Alucard's regenerative abilities (as Alucard mentions he hasn't stopped bleeding or recovered) and they can be used defensively when Seras unexpectedly begins shooting at him, using the cards to block the bullets. |
| 435 | * CheshireCatGrin: He has a nearly permanent one. When he ''stops'' doing this, it's a sign of his VillainousBreakdown. |
| 436 | * ClimacticBattleResurrection: [[spoiler: Alongside Rip Van Wrinkle, he comes back in the final battle as one of Alucard's puppets.]] |
| 437 | * CombatPragmatist: Sent hordes and more hordes of police officers to soften Alucard and then frequently deployed magical trickery in his fight against him. |
| 438 | * ConsummateLiar: Feeds the police lie after lie and they bite hook, line and sinker. |
| 439 | * TheDandy: Well, it's his alias. |
| 440 | * DeathDealer: He's quite good at it, too. |
| 441 | * DeadpanSnarker: He gets very snarky in his fight with Alucard. |
| 442 | * DidntSeeThatComing: It's noticeable his plan to attack Alucard failed to take into account Seras' existence, and in the end this is what derails the entire fight. |
| 443 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Alhambra is a jokester and very easy-going. This does nothing to hide the fact he's a ruthless vampire sending innocents to their deaths for his own gain. |
| 444 | * FlechetteStorm: His card attacks operate like this. |
| 445 | * FragileSpeedster: He's rather quick on his feet, but once Alucard actually ''hits'' him, he goes down quickly. |
| 446 | * GlassCannon: He damaged Alucard rather severely by Alucard's own admission (especially since how the cards are able to disable Alucard's regenerative abilities), but once Alucard hits him, he goes down quickly. |
| 447 | * TheGambler: The only one in Hellsing. |
| 448 | * LastStand: After Alucard cripples him, he pulls out one last Ace of Spades and attacks Alucard in a manner that resembles a LastStand. |
| 449 | * MeaningfulName: "Tubalcain" was [[TheDescendantsOfCain a descendant of Cain]] described as a weaponsmith. |
| 450 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: As the suit would indicate. |
| 451 | * MisplacedAccent: In the English dub he speaks with a very Hispanic (Puerto Rican, according to some sources) accent, despite being Brazilian. |
| 452 | * NationalStereotypes: He embodies a classic Brazilian one, the "[[TheBarnum Malandro]]". |
| 453 | * NinjaLog: During their fight, Alhambra create a duplicate of himself made of cards to distract Alucard. |
| 454 | * ObviouslyEvil: The man's face screams treachery. |
| 455 | * SarcasticClapping: When the crooked police gives him a status report. In-universe he tries to sell it as genuine clapping, but to the audience it's pretty obvious he's laughing inside. |
| 456 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Not to Luke's extent, but still applies. He thought he was in a fair fight with Alucard. [[CurbStompBattle He was wrong.]] |
| 457 | * SmugSnake: Fully believes he is going to defeat Alucard. Evidently wrong. |
| 458 | * TheStrategist: He at least tries to come up with a tactic to defeat Alucard by sending in cannon fodder, hoping to exhaust Alucard's ammunition and weaken him. As a tactic, it's not without merit, but he chose the wrong opponent since 1) Alucard doesn't need bullets to mess someone up, 2) he didn't at all mind the free lunch, and 3) Alhambra didn't account for Seras. |
| 459 | * SuperSpeed: On par with even Alucard. |
| 460 | * VampireBitesSuck: They sure do when Alucard administers them. Alhumbra is destroyed via [[SelfDestructMechanism his chip]] as it occurs, but that doesn't stop Alucard picking up the names of his employers. |
| 461 | * VillainousBreakdown: After Alucard reveals to be more resilient than he thought and Seras starts firing at him, he loses his cool demeanor. |
| 462 | -->'''Alhambra''': ''I've had enough of these pests!'' |
| 463 | * WallCrawl: One of his abilities. |
| 464 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Out of all pre-London attack Millennium officers, he gets the least screentime and characterization. |
| 465 | * WorthyOpponent: Views Alucard as one at first, though as the fight proceeds he seems to change his mind. |

| 474 | |
| 475 | Jan and Luke Valentine are the first of the Millennium forces sent specifically to attack Hellsing. Appearance-wise, Luke is a sophisticated pretty boy. He is the "brains" of the operation and he believes that he can surpass Alucard. His vampiric power manifests as regeneration and SuperSpeed. While Jan doesn't seem to have any specialized powers, 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 of Millennium's agents, they manage to inflict significant casualties on Hellsing's human personnel. |
| 476 | ---- |
| 477 | * AfraidOfBlood: Rather ironically for a ''vampire'', Luke seems to dislike getting blood on his trim suit; He actively uses his SuperSpeed to weave out of the [[{{Gorn}} explosions of gore]] he turns his victims into, and takes the time before meeting Alucard to wipe off the one splotch of blood that managed to get on his sleeve. |
| 478 | * AxCrazy: Even compared to other Hellsing characters, Jan is pretty insane. Or maybe he's just more vocal about it. |
| 479 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:Luke is brought back during Alucard's battle with Walter. He doesn't last long.]] |
| 480 | * BadassFingerSnap: Jan commands a few of the zombified troops by snapping his fingers. |
| 481 | %%* BadassInANiceSuit: Luke. |
| 482 | %%* BadassLongcoat: Luke. |
| 483 | * BreakThemByTalking: Luke ''tries'' to pin one on Alucard, labeling him as a servant to the Hellsing family, but Alucard won't hear any of it. |
| 484 | -->'''Luke''': ''SHUT UP!'' You're nothing but the Hellsing Family Toy! A dog for the Church of England not even fit to call himself a vampire! A puppet- |
| 485 | -->'''Alucard''': ''[[ShutUpHannibal SILENCE]]!'' |
| 486 | * BigBadWannabe: They talk a lot of smack about Hellsing, and Luke boasts that he's not like the other vampires Alucard has fought. Both of them get beaten quite soundly. They do wipe out Hellsing's main military force, but Luke didn't get the message that it was a suicide mission and actually thought they'd win. Jan, on the other hand, was [[AxCrazy perfectly fine with that, as long as he got to kill people]]. |
| 487 | * BoisterousWeakling: They talk smack about toppling Hellsing and have no problem wiping out human fodder but when up against anyone with a name like Walter, they're soundly defeated |
| 488 | * TheChewToy: Literally, as it turns out. [[spoiler:Luke gets eaten by Alucard's Black Dog familiar, but winds up returning when the dog gets sliced in half... which he spends in a state of abject confusion before getting painfully strung up and manipulated like a puppet by Walter against Alucard, and then dying another ignominious death as Alucard's decoy. The Major doesn't even remember his name.]] |
| 489 | * ColdHam: Luke is definitely hammy, but he's far more subdued about it when fighting Alucard. At first, anyway. |
| 490 | * ClusterFBomb: Jan's such a pottymouth he can't go two sentences without spewing F-bombs and other curse words. |
| 491 | * TheDandy: Luke's appearance suggests one. |
| 492 | * DeathSeeker: Jan. He seemed way more of a "true" Nazi than Luke. Jan dose't care if he lives or dies. Luke on the other hand, ran away like a coward, angering Alucard. |
| 493 | * DefiantToTheEnd: Jan goes out by flipping the bird at Integra and calling her a bitch. |
| 494 | * DirtyCoward: Luke spends a good amount of time whimpering and on the verge of hysterics once Alucard lifts his restraints, culminating in him desperately trying to drag himself away once his legs are torn off. This is also Alucard's opinion of Luke by the end of their "fight," [[{{Understatement}} which ends poorly for Luke.]] |
| 495 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: Jan doesn't even react to being set on fire before he blabs about the Millennium Nazis. In fact, he goes out insulting Hellsing one last time before he bites it. |
| 496 | * EatenAlive: Luke's death is being eaten by Alucard's Black Dog. |
| 497 | -->'''Alucard:''' I'm a dog? Then you're dog food. |
| 498 | * EvilGloating: Luke talks himself up so much, Alucard actually gets ''annoyed'' when Luke's boasts turn out to be hollow. Alucard kills him extra-gruesomely for wasting his time. |
| 499 | * EvilLaugh: Both brothers use this. Luke's is more of a subdued chuckle, but Jan can get really maniacal. |
| 500 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Exaggerated with Jan. He's downright ''[[GoOutWithASmile ecstatic]]'' about going out in a blaze of glory. Horribly averted with Luke, whose composure flies out the window before he dies. |
| 501 | * FauxAffablyEvil: |
| 502 | ** Jan, who happily talks and sings to himself while chopping through Hellsing soldiers and mocking their commanders while maintaining a jovial tone. |
| 503 | ** Compared to his loud and foul-mouthed brother Jan, Luke holds himself with very cold confidence and has a civil conversation with Alucard before they both try to kill one another. However, he's far too smug and arrogant to qualify as AffablyEvil. |
| 504 | * FlippingTheBird: Jan greets (the first Integra sees from him on the video-intercom) and says goodbye (when he's remote-destroyed via his control chip) to Integra with the middle finger. |
| 505 | * {{Foil}}: Luke and Jan are opposites in every way. Luke speaks with an air of sophistication, while Jan curses like a middle-school student trying to sound edgy. Luke is more collected, while Jan has more than a few screws loose. Luke has his sights set exclusively on killing Alucard, while Jan [[{{OmnicidalManiac}} will happily kill every living thing he sees]]. Luke dresses in a white suit, while Jan wears black. Luke [[{{FourEyesZeroSoul}} wears glasses]], while Jan does not. Luke uses a modified version of the World War II-era M1 Garand compacted to HandCannon size, while Jan uses space age-looking FN P90s with huge scopes and silencers. Luke has hair as long as Integra's, while Jan's hair only goes down to his shoulders. Luke expected to leave the fight alive, while Jan knew they were going to die. Luke is composed when the battle appears to be in his favor, but when he realizes that Alucard was toying with him, his smugness crumbles almost immediately. Jan is disturbingly happy the whole time, even in his dying moments. |
| 506 | * ForTheEvulz: Jan, apparently, doesn't really care who gets in his way or what happens to him, as long as he gets to kill. |
| 507 | * FragileSpeedster: Luke can FlashStep around Alucard's barrage of bullets and Alucard himself is impressed enough to compliment Luke's speed and reflexes. However, while his HealingFactor can let him recover from headshots, it's not strong enough to regenerate from getting his legs torn off. |
| 508 | * {{Gorn}}: Lots of it wherever Jan goes. Luke's death involved plenty. |
| 509 | * GunsAkimbo: Jan wields a huge gun in each hand and has no problems aiming or firing them. |
| 510 | * HandCannon: Luke's main weapon is a [[AceCustom heavily modified]] M1 Garand, apparently having been cut down substantially in size to the point that he can use it as an oversized pistol. Such a gun would fire rifle rounds, and probably require heavy modification to not outright destroy itself. It doesn't help him much, though. |
| 511 | * HateSink: Luke. Unlike Jan who is clearly LaughablyEvil, Luke is a bonafide SmugSnake with a massive [[SmallNameBigEgo ego]], which makes [[CurbStompBattle Alucard]]'s and even [[TheChewToy the author's treatment]] of him all the more satisfying. |
| 512 | * HealingFactor: Luke regenerates after getting shot in the chest (by Casull in the manga) or head (by [[AdaptationInducedPlotHole Jackal in the OVA]], though it was changed to the Casull in a later release), which sets him apart from [[{{Mooks}} most other artificial vampires]]. He can't regenerate his legs after they're shot off by the Jackal, however. |
| 513 | * TheHyena: Jan breaks into laughter at the slightest provocation. |
| 514 | * {{Jerkass}}: Even by the standards of this series, Jan is a massive dick. |
| 515 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Subverted; he calls out Integra [[note]]who's not even present, and never learns of his criticism[[/note]] for wasting money on expensive cigars, while her funding is intended to fight the supernatural... [[HypocriticalHumor while smoking one of them]]. |
| 516 | * KonamiCode: Quoth Jan: |
| 517 | -->"''Up up! Down down! Left right left right! '''[[ClusterFBomb BRINGIN' THE MOTHERFUCKIN' DEATH BY KONAMI!]]''''' Ahhh, I'm so fuckin' hard right now..." |
| 518 | * LargeHam: Jan is the obvious example, but Luke gets a little hammy himself when challenging Alucard. That did not end well for him. |
| 519 | * LightIsNotGood: Luke is fair-skinned, blond, dresses all in white, and is significantly more stoic and genteel than other villains in the series, ''especially'' his brother Jan. He's also a SmugSnake on Millennium's payroll who slaughters his fair share of Hellsing security staff on the way to his ill-fated "battle" with Alucard. |
| 520 | * LonghairedPrettyBoy: Luke. He has glorious golden hair and a handsome face. |
| 521 | * LowerClassLout: Jan's dressing style is meant to evoke a British chav, which goes in tandem with his personality. |
| 522 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: Luke fancies himself to be one. |
| 523 | * MotorMouth: Jan never shuts up. |
| 524 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: The main reason for Luke's ego. By the standards of a Millennium vampire, he's incredibly strong and fast, far surpassing the rank and file and even seemingly some of the officers. However, he fails to realize that there's a massive gulf between Millennium vampires and a true vampire like Alucard and his kin. When Alucard shows off even a hint of what a true vampire can do, Luke is reduced to a quivering pile of jelly. |
| 525 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: When Walter cuts apart Alucard's hellhound, Luke is accidentally revived inside the remains after his soul connection with Alucard is broken. Now stuck in the middle of a fight between the guy who killed him in the first place and another guy who suped himself up specifically to kill that guy, his little reprieve does not last.]] |
| 526 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: |
| 527 | ** While they do end up biting off more than they can handle, Walter shrugging them off as barely a threat proved premature. |
| 528 | ** Creator/PatrickSeitz actually makes note of this when watching the OVA during the commentary, especially during the knife scene Luke has with the soldiers. He said his exact thoughts when recording the part was, "You mean I get to do something other than talk big and die like a bitch now? Awesome!" |
| 529 | * OhCrap: When Alucard goes OneWingedAngel during his battle with Luke, Luke has an especially memorable one of these, which lasts right up until his death. Jan also has one, when he reaches the round table, and they all point guns at him, having expected him. |
| 530 | -->'''Integra:''' You made it... Congratulations. |
| 531 | -->'''Jan:''' Oh, fuck me. |
| 532 | * PinnedToTheWall: Luke, by a javelin trap in the Hellsing manor, but he slips out of his coat and retaliates before the guards can finish him. |
| 533 | * PsychoForHire: Jan has the characteristics, but they both fit. Jan just likes killing stuff, whereas Luke wants to defeat Alucard. |
| 534 | * PsychopathicManchild: Jan's a bloodlusted punk who functions roughly on the same level as an adrenaline-fueled teenager. He also dresses like a chav youth despite being an adult. |
| 535 | * RedOniBlueOni: They're designed to be opposites of each other, personality-wise and appearance-wise. |
| 536 | * SexIsViolence: Jan memorably declares that he's "[[RagingStiffie so fucking hard]]" while killing some men. |
| 537 | * SiblingsInCrime: Jan and Luke are Nazi vampire brothers. |
| 538 | * SirSwearsALot: Jan drops F-bombs in just about every sentence he says. He's only in one episode of the OVA, and yet he curses more than anyone else in the entire series. |
| 539 | * SmugSnake: Luke brags to Alucard that "I was born to be your death!" Given that he gets EatenAlive, apparently not. Jan also has a big mouth and a lot of talk that he can't back up, relying on his ghouls to do everything. He's fine and all cocky killing normal humans, but quickly realizes how much shit he's in when he comes across Walter and Seras, and even more so when he bursts into the council room and finds twelve guns pointed at him. |
| 540 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Luke. [[CurbStompBattle Alucard puts him in his place]]. |
| 541 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Jan is sometimes spelled as Yan. |
| 542 | * StoicSpectacles: Luke, who is far more stoic and composed than his wild brother. |
| 543 | * SuperSpeed[=/=]FlashStep: Luke's ability, which makes him especially unique among vampires, to the point where Alucard initially says that he surpasses the highest category of vampire. |
| 544 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Luke boasts that he's stronger than any vampire to Alucard, and were Alucard any other vampire, he'd be right. He never anticipated fighting something that is less a vampire than an EldritchAbomination in the form of one, which gets him rather brutally killed. |
| 545 | * VillainInAWhiteSuit: Luke is evil and wears a white suit. |
| 546 | * VillainousBreakdown: Luke is reduced to a terrified wreck once Alucard gets serious; Jan, on the other hand, is one of the three villains who retains his sanity (or lack thereof) as he dies. |
| 547 | * VillainousValor: Jan just flips off Integra when she tries to interrogate him as he dies from his chip making him go aflame. Luke tries, scraping up the last of his composure to sneer at Alucard for being Hellsing's "dog", but all he accomplishes is setting himself up for both a PreMortemOneLiner ''and'' a BondOneLiner. |
| 548 | * VillainsDyingGrace: Jan decides to throw the Hellsing Organization a bone as he burns up in flames and gives them one small, yet crucial, lead: the organization's name ("Millennium"). |
| 549 | * WorthyOpponent: Subverted with Luke Valentine. During his encounter with Alucard, he boasts about his vampiric abilities and skills which impresses Alucard. [[spoiler:However, [[LetsGetDangerous when things get serious]], Luke is horrified by Alucard's true power and tries to flee. Realizing he had been overestimating his opponent, Alucard withdraws any respect he had for Luke Valentine before feeding him to his Black Hound familiar]]. |
| 550 | * WrongAssumption: Luke genuinely believed that he was ''the'' super vampire and Alucard's superior in every way. He had no concept of just how much Alucard was holding back nor what [[HumanoidAbomination he truly was.]] He's utterly taken aback by Alucard's transformed state and can hardly react. |
| 551 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Jan already knows that his superiors can execute him via chip should he fail. He takes this in stride very well. |

| 555 | !!Letztes Battalion |
| 556 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/letzte_battalion.png]] |
| 557 | |
| 558 | The army of 1000 artificially created vampires from Nazi Veterans. |
| 559 | ---- |
| 560 | * BadassArmy: An army made up of vampires immune to ordinary bullets. |
| 561 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:All of them. But it had to be in war.]] |
| 562 | * MassOhCrap: All present have one after seeing Seras [[spoiler:drink Pip's blood.]] |
| 563 | * {{Mooks}}: At first, no, they pretty much wipe out all of London pretty handily. After Seras and Alucard come, it's a different story. |
| 564 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: While they're fearsome monsters compared to humans and standard peacekeeping forces, as vampires they're sub-par. At best they only have the abilities of a fledgling vampire and not even the same level of strength. They can butcher a city of normal humans, no problem, but against real vampires they're [[{{Mook}} mooks at best]] or MadeOfPlasticine at worst. |
| 565 | * SuperSoldiers: They're all tech-vampires, making them much stronger, faster and harder to kill than regular humans, and can only be killed by destroying their heads or their hearts. |
| 566 | * UndyingLoyalty: The Waffen SS vampires of Millennium are fanatically devoted to the Major, and only him. When the Major's superior officer physically assaults him, the entire battalion turns their weapons on the command staff and eagerly devour them later. |
| 567 | * WouldHitAGirl: Not just hit them. But shoot them, torture them, and let them be doomed as Ghouls. |
| 568 | * WouldHurtAChild: They killed everyone in London, and one is seen with a dead baby in his mouth. |
