Extremely powerful, to the point where he qualifies as "nature" in terms of man vs. x conflicts, Alucard is a vampire who is well over 400 years old. He acknowledges Integra Hellsing, a woman who is one of the last living members of the Hellsing family, as his Master. He spent twenty years sealed in the depths of the Hellsing manor by Integra's father, until a young Integra discovers his "corpse" when she was fleeing from her wicked uncle. Integra is shot in the shoulder, and her blood just so happens to fly into Alucard's mouth, which awakened him. As a way of showing his thanks, he helps Integra kill her pursuers, and from then on, grants her his services and protection. He is highly skilled in firearms and his vast powers are divided into seals with increasing levels of power (with Level Zero being the strongest to 5 being the "weakest"). His servant is Seras "Police Girl" Victoria.

"SWAT team member: Monster!
 * Affably Evil
 * A Form You Are Comfortable With
 * Alucard : No shit.
 * Anti-Hero: Ranges anywhere between Type IV and V.
 * Horrifying Hero: Our PROTAGONIST, ladies and gentlemen!*
 * Ax Crazy
 * Back for the Finale
 * Badass
 * Badass in a Nice Suit
 * Badass Longcoat: A red one, adding to the gore by allowing many regenerations of his limbs. Though not the only one; the villainous equivalent is the Captain.
 * Badass Long Hair: And the more Badass he becomes, the longer it gets.
 * Badass Mustache: When Alucard releases all the restraints, he actually looks somewhat like Vlad Tepes, including the mustache. Not quite as impressive as the one in the famous portrait of him, but it would be difficult to take him seriously with that thing.
 * Little Miss Badass: Girlycard. Maybe.
 * Word of God (and canon) says that form is female. Strangely Girlycard still has a male voice in the OVA.
 * Sealed Badass in a Can: Is this in "Master of Monster". There's a magic seal on the door to the room he's being kept in (much like the seals on his gloves, that keep his powers in check). When Integra opens the door, she breaks the seal.
 * Beast and Beauty: Along with his Knight/Lady dynamic with Integra, there are definitely shades of this.
 * Berserk Button: Alucard doesn't seem to have many, but Anderson finds one when the latter uses Helena's Nail to gain the power to defeat the former. Alucard is outright furious at Anderson for throwing away his humanity in order to defeat him, saying that Anderson has become just like Alucard: a monster. For the record, Alucard believes that only a human can defeat a monster, hence his rage at Anderson using Helena's Nail. Also, whenever someone escapes his bloodthirsty counterattacks by committing suicide. Well, he gets very angry at least. Likewise, never, Never, NEVER insult, threaten, or harm Integra whenever he's nearby. It will be the last thing you'll do. Case in point, Enrico Maxwell once called Integra a "Sow" prompting Alucard to, albeit politely, tell Maxwell that he'll personally kill him for insulting his master. Or betray him or her. He can't stand traitors.
 * Better to Die Than Be Killed: Alucard is very much not of this opinion.
 * Blood Knight: He just LOVES to fight all kind of enemies. The harder the more fun it'll be.
 * Blood Lust: Oh yes.
 * Bloody Murder: Alucard practically puts his blood through gymnastics using it as a weapon
 * Bodyguard Crush
 * Bottomless Magazines: He won't reload until all the surrounding enemies are dead.
 * Break the Cutie: When he was just a little kid, he was sold out by his father, Dracul the prince of Wallachia, to the Turks, who did all sorts of ghastly things to him. No wonder he decided to become what he is today.
 * Broken Ace
 * Card-Carrying Villain: Straight up admits that he is the worst of all vampires, which is saying something.
 * Characterization Marches On: Chapter 1 is most affected by this.
 * Combat Sadomasochist
 * Crazy Consumption: Out of all the vampites in this series, Alucard really takes the cake with this one. So long as Integra orders him to kill, he'll do whatever he damn well pleases to his victims. Including tearing off their heads and letting the blood pour into his mouth. And using demon dogs to eat them alive. Honestly, this guy acts more like a cannibal than a vampire.
 * Creepy Good
 * Crispin Freeman
 * Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Red.
 * Cynical Mentor: He's not the best father figure towards Seras. Most of the time he's rather insulting and mean towards her, but he does give her advice which has helped her many times before.
 * Death Seeker: One of his possible motivations.
 * Averted, after the fight with Anderson, Alucard made it clear he wasn't in a rush to die yet.
 * Did Not Get the Girl: Mina Harker.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him: In the form of Schrodinger. Okay, so maybe it was more 'dropped mathematics and technobabble on him'.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending: After essentially being sent to purgatory by Schrodinger, Alucard seeks out and kills his millions of lives, finally putting them out of their misery and earning his life back.
 * Let's not forget that he comes from a past filled with Downer Endings no matter what. The series and other characters love to list what he lost after the decesive battles.
 * Eldritch Abomination: His other unnatural forms.
 * Humanoid Abomination: What he is when he isn't fighting hard yet.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: He told those teen vamps that the way how they kill for no reasons just show how pathetic they actually were, and thats is the reason why they should be wasted.
 * Evil Laugh: Anytime Alucard is entertained, or is impressed with the antics of the Major, that great fanged maw opens up with peals of maniacal laughter.
 * Evil Sounds Deep: Look who his seiyuu is...
 * Extra Eyes: Alucard develops tons of these during transformations.
 * Eyes Do Not Belong There: See above.
 * Fan Nickname: Alucard's.
 * The Fettered: Though not unhappliy, mind you.
 * Freudian Trio: Alucard is The Id among Integra and Seras.
 * Glass Cannon: He gets blown to bits worse than Sonny Corleone, but it doesn't matter since he just regenerates from it.
 * Good Thing You Can Heal
 * Guns Akimbo: His twin hand cannons.
 * Hair Contrast Duo: With Integra, Seras, and Anderson.
 * Hand Cannon: Two, in fact.
 * Happiness in Slavery: Although not a slave, Alucard's more than happy to serve his Master.
 * Healing Factor: One of the most extreme examples.
 * The Hero
 * Sociopathic Hero: Was a bloodthirsty monster before he became a vampire. The vampire thing just made him worse.
 * Heel Face Turn: Well he seems to like life as a good guy.
 * Hero-Killer
 * Hey, You: At first, he purposely refused to call his apprentice by her name Seras Victoria, resorting instead to the sneering alias "Police Girl" which shows his disdain for her reluctance to drink blood and embrace her vampire nature in full extent.
 * Luckily he's on the good guys' side.
 * Historical Beauty Update
 * Historical Villain Upgrade: Ladies and gentlemen, we present.
 * Humanoid Abomination: Alucard. Then he loses the humanoid part...
 * Humans Are Special: He believes this with all his being. While sometimes he would sneer at humans, for Alucard they are the pinnacle of the creation of God and those worthy to inherit earth, to the point that he refuse to die except at the hands of a human.
 * Hunter of His Own Kind: In the most brutal way possible. He seems to hate most other vampires nowadays, especially those who kill For the Evulz.
 * I Hate You, Vampire Dad: He receives this treatment from Seras sometimes and he doesn't improve this status either, due to the fact that he has a jerkass attitude towards her and enjoys mocking and scaring the hell out of her.
 * Immune to Bullets: His usual tactic is to let his opponents perforate him utterly... and then regenerate and get right back up again.
 * Improbable Aiming Skills: He can gun down multiple enemies without even looking at them.
 * In Love with Your Carnage // Interplay of Sex and Violence: With Integra.
 * In-Series Nickname: Hellsing's dog/lapdog usually. Anderson used "the black plague" on him once.
 * Insult Backfire:
 * In Love with Your Carnage // Interplay of Sex and Violence: With Integra.
 * In-Series Nickname: Hellsing's dog/lapdog usually. Anderson used "the black plague" on him once.
 * Insult Backfire:

Alucard: I get that a lot."


 * It Amused Me: Why does Alucard turn himself into a little girl in his fight against ? Giggles mostly, and irritation.
 * Jerkass
 * Jerkass Facade
 * Joji Nakata
 * The Juggernaut
 * Kick the Dog: "Oh, hello there, Police Girl. It appears your entire team was just turned into ghouls right before your very eyes, and now there is a priest who is molesting you and about to rape you. Can I ask you a personal question? Are you a virgin, my dear? WELL!? You are? Wonderful! Allow me to shoot you through the lung even though there are plenty of other ways I can kill the freak behind you."
 * Knight in Shining Armor: Double Subversion. Integra expected one to save her and got a vampire...who acted as one to her, regardless.
 * Knight Templar: He used to be one of these.
 * Lady and Knight: A pretty dark Knight, but he and Integra definitely have this dynamic.
 * Large Ham
 * Made of Plasticine
 * Manly Tears: Two instances. The first instance are Tears of Blood when he is dreaming of the day Abraham defeated him. The second instance follows
 * Mook Horror Show: Heaven and Hell help you if you have to fight him.
 * More Dakka
 * More Teeth Than the Osmond Family
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Alucard sprouts extra pairs during his battle with Rip van Winkle.
 * Name's the Same: There are major differences between him and the Alucard from Castlevania
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Alucard...
 * Nigh Invulnerable
 * Nightmare Face
 * Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant
 * Not So Different: Alucard admits he and the Major are alike in volume 4 as incorrigible warmongers. . His comparison with in volume 9 is far more accurate.
 * Now That's Using Your Teeth: How he stops one of Rip Van's bullets. It appears to have broken his jaw. Don't worry though, he gets better.
 * Odd Couple: With Integra, but whether it's romantic or not is debatable.
 * Odd Friendship: With Walter, most predominately in The Dawn.
 * The Older Immortal
 * One Head Taller: With Integra. Whether or not this is supposed to have romantic undertones is a Shipping issue.
 * Even more obvious in Alucard and Seras's case, even though it's used to depict their father-daughter, mentor-student connection.
 * Seras reaches Alucard far below the shoulder.
 * Oral Fixation Fixation: It goes without saying really, considering the whole vampire thing...
 * Parental Substitute: Seems to be this for Seras, along with Integra.
 * Power Limiter: Alucard's monstrous powers are kept in check by a series of 4 magical gates, called the Control Art Restriction System. Alucard has some access to these via the "Cromwell Approval", but Integra herself must authorize their level of use for the most part.
 * Power Makes Your Hair Grow: The more powerful he becomes, the longer his hair grows out.
 * Prehensile Hair: Although it's kinda difficult to tell where the guy's hair ends and where his shadow tendril things begin. But he definitely has more prehensile body parts than any creature has the right to have.
 * Psycho for Hire: Sort of. He has all of the mannerisms and motives necessary for this trope, but he only works for one person.
 * Psychopathic Manchild: Type C. Though he's usually composed and a perfect gentleman, he turns into a giggling lunatic in battle.
 * Psychotic Smirk: Default expression.
 * : Heavily implied.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Integra's blue, and to a lesser extent, Anderson as well.
 * Scary Shiny Glasses: Often.
 * Sdrawkcab Name
 * Sharp-Dressed Man: Oh yes.
 * Slasher Smile: All the damn time.
 * Spirited Competitor: Nothing makes him happier than fighting a Worthy Opponent. Well, except Integra.
 * Tall, Dark and Handsome
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky
 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: So long as Integra orders it, he'll do whatever he damn well pleases to his opponents. If they can't stop him, well, it sucks to be them.
 * Token Evil Teammate
 * Undying Loyalty: Not only is he fiercely dedicated to his master and country, he can't forgive traitors. Sort of Berserk Button.
 * Vampires Are Sex Gods
 * Villain Protagonist
 * Villainous Breakdown: Oh, he doesn't suffer one. He causes them.
 * Wild Hair: Especially as.
 * Will They or Won't They?: with Integra.
 * What Have I Become?
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds
 * Worthy Opponent: Humans who can face him receive his absolute respect, . Its also the reason why he obeys Integra to death and beyond.
 * Worthy Opponent: Humans who can face him receive his absolute respect, . Its also the reason why he obeys Integra to death and beyond.

The head of the Hellsing organisation and the last descendant of said bloodline; one of the knights of the Round Table also known as the Twelve Conventions that control the 'British Empire' in the shadows and protect the Anglican faith and the Crown. It is unknown how she lost her mother, but her father died when she was about twelve years of age. As her father lay on his deathbed, he told Integra that if she ever was caught in a bad situation and has no one else to turn to, she should head for the cells deep below the manor, where the family's "darkest legacy" is kept, and that it will be her greatest weapon and the "instrument of her salvation". She awakens Alucard with her blood when she was cornered by her evil uncle Richard Hellsing, but Alucard saves her life and swears his loyalty to her. Shortly after this, Integra kills Richard Hellsing and is knighted days later. She's twenty-two years old during the course of most of the story.


 * Action Girl
 * Adrenaline Makeover: From timid and sweet young girl into cocky, rookie leader into harderned, brave and inspiring leader and mentor to the next generation.
 * Anti-Hero: Type III, occasionally leaning towards type IV.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Double Subversion. She's the weakest member of the Hellsing Organization, but still a Badass Normal Lady of War.
 * Badass:
 * Badass in a Nice Suit
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Badass Normal: The woman can hold her own against Anderson. Yes. She has fought, and survived, against the man whom Alucard feels is his equal.
 * Beast and Beauty: Along with her Lady/Knight dynamic with Alucard, there are definitely shades of this.
 * Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Played straight until, up to that point even the blood stains she got in middle of a battle vanished from her face and long hair (that remained majestically untangled during the entire ordeal).
 * Berserk Button: To some degree; don't eat her men or make her servant disappear.
 * To quote the later: "WHAT DID YOU DO?!!" sounds familiar?
 * Don't insult her looks. She goes pretty angry at Seras when she gives her unflattering nicknames in chapter 2.
 * That probably had more to do with Seras insulting her looks in front of Alucard, though.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Young Integra is full of surprises.
 * Blue Blood
 * Blue Eyes
 * Bifauxnen: Subverted. Outside the fandom, Integra is never mistaken as male in canon nor she's trying to dress like a man or act like one. Everybody knows she's a lady and seems pretty proud of this fact. It's more a case of Samus Is a Girl when she introduces herself in the beginning. Most didn't expect Sir Hellsing to be a young woman.
 * Big Good
 * Bodyguard Crush: Major implies this in volume 4.
 * Break the Cutie
 * The Chick: Though not as useless as other examples.
 * Cigar Chomper: How she manages to speak with a cigar in her mouth is beyond us.
 * Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive
 * Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Blue.
 * Coming of Age Story
 * Cool Big Sis: To Seras occasionally.
 * Dark-Skinned Blond
 * Subversion of the normal traits.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Death Glare: Integra glares a lot, but she really gives one to Major (emphasis on eyes, no mouth draw) after.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen:.
 * Flower Motifs: Red Roses (in her manga funeral hat and her Calendar picture).
 * Freudian Trio: Integra counts as Superego between Seras and Alucard.
 * Good Is Not Nice
 * Hair Contrast Duo: A pretty obvious one with Alucard.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Heroic BSOD: when.
 * Hey, You: Like Alucard, she usually only refers to Seras as "Police Girl" as well. Notable times exceptions after Seras went overboard and slaughtered Integra's ghoul-turned men, causing Integra to give her a Cooldown Hug to calm her, when Integra "feeds" Seras, and after Seras.
 * Hot Chick in a Badass Suit
 * Hot Chick with a Sword
 * Ice Queen: Cold, dour and dispassionate...most of the time. She's seen getting angry a lot, but that's mostly from atrocities being committed against her organization and/or her country. The rest is from Alucard riling her up.
 * I Did What I Had to Do
 * In Its Hour of Need: Even if seriously outnumbered, Integra stays in the destroyed London and stands her ground before reinforcement arrive. Then goes into the Zeppelin to fight the last battle.
 * In Love with Your Carnage // Interplay of Sex and Violence: With Alucard, it's mostly initiated by him.
 * In-Series Nickname: Integra (her full name is Integral). But also several ones (most of them she disliked): Miss Nemesis Face/Lady of Iron (by Seras), Babylon (by Anderson), Protestant Sow (by Maxwell), Beautiful Fräulein (by Major), Countess (by Alucard).
 * Iron Lady
 * It's All My Fault
 * I Will Wait for You:
 * Just a Kid :Young Integra.
 * The Kid With the Leash: She became Alucard's master very early in life.
 * Knight Templar
 * Subverted. Under normal circumstances, Integra can be reasoned with and flexible in her standards. But once you attack her men, threaten her country or betray her. All bets are off.
 * Lady and Knight: She's the Lady of course, and Alucard is her unlikely, vampiric Knight.
 * Lady of War
 * Large Ham
 * Leave Behind a Pistol: Leaves one for.
 * Les Yay: With Seras. The fingerlicking scene was blatant fanservice.
 * Let's Get Dangerous: A couple times, most notably after she
 * Looming Silhouette of Rage
 * Lovely Angels: With Seras, in volumes 9-10.
 * Lust Object of several characters
 * Made of Iron: Gets into a pretty serious car crash and is still able to decapitate a vampire like it's no one's business. Later, she and barely even falters.
 * She also got shot in the shoulder when she was twelve and it barely seemed to bother her. Afterward, she was even able to pick up a gun and shoot it.
 * Meet Cute: Manga only. For a tense moment, Hirano managed to paint the meeting between Alucard and Integra in an awkwardly endearing light. This overlaps with Boy Meets Ghoul.
 * Mercy Kill: Forced to do this do her ghoulifed men after the Valentine invasion. She accepts all responsibility for their deaths.
 * It's also the real motivation of why she and her father to kill monsters that threaten their country. Aside of their duty to keep it safe.
 * Meganekko: Quite subverted since she isn't exactly what you'd call "Sweet". Played straight when she was young.
 * Morality Chain: to Alucard, being the person he acknowledged to serve.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Any name with the word 'hell' in it is a name you should be weary of, but Hellsing is worse.
 * Not So Stoic: She seems cold, distant and icy. That is until her men or her vampires are involved. It becomes evident throughout the series that she struggles to be The Stoic.
 * Odd Couple: With Alucard, but whether it's romantic or not is a shipping issue.
 * Older Than They Look: For most of the series, Integra's only twenty-two years old and sometimes gets treated in a condescending way because of her age.
 * The Ojou
 * Omniscient Morality License: Towards the end, she's the one who is giving the moral resolutions about monsters.
 * Only Sane Man: All things considered, Integra is the only character in this franchise who is, for the most part, a collected and ordinary being. She can still whip you a new one, though.
 * Sometimes. She still has her less sane moments. "SEARCH AND DESTROY" comes to mind.
 * Oral Fixation Fixation: Especially in the OVA's, where she would spew entire sentences with a cigar in her mouth.
 * Overly Long Name: Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing. Parodied in The Abridged Series.
 * Parental Abandonment
 * Parental Substitute: Act very motherly towards Seras.
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Alucard's red. Her and Maxwell seemed to have this dynamic earlier on, too.
 * Screw the Rules, I Make Them: The Twelve Conventions lord over the country and has a power grip that is only rivalled by the Vatican. Integra can order a slaughter in front of international cameras in another country without real consequences.
 * She Is the King: Despite being a woman, she holds the male title "Sir" instead of "Lady".
 * Shut UP, Hannibal: Gives a short verbal bitch slap to Major.
 * Also gives one to Jan Valentine. With her gun.
 * Smoking Is Cool
 * Spell My Name with an "S": While this isn't so much an issue in the English speaking fandom, her name has an alternative spelling Hirano gives ('Integla').
 * Stiff Upper Lip
 * This Is Sparta: "SEARCH. AND. DESTROY!"
 * The Stoic: Not quite. But Integra struggles to be like this during big crisis.
 * Team Mom: She acts this way sometimes in the manga, in particular as contrast to Alucard in their guidance of Seras. While he tries to be harsh, lying down the rules and teaching her practical matters in his twisted way, Integra nurtures her in own way via giving her Cool Down Hugs and feeding her (via her own blood) with more diplomacy (and sometimes, quite the Les Yay fanservice). At the epilogue, she chides at her like a mother would to a naughty child.
 * The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask
 * Tranquil Fury
 * Tsundere: Towards Alucard when he's being an idiot.
 * Which includes flinging the classic tsuntsun strategies "URUSAI!" and "Baka!" at him. Once even with a Luminescent Blush, verging on Suspiciously Specific Denial.
 * Unresolved Sexual Tension: with Alucard
 * Van Helsing Hate Crimes: Despite being his descendant, this gets an interesting exploration considering that Integra was saved by a vampire from her only very living relative who wanted her dead and
 * Virgin Power: makes her blood extra delicious.
 * Women Are Wiser: Easily the most intelligent and level-headed (Tsundereusually) character in the series. Granted, it helps that most of the males in this series are batshit insane.
 * Yoshiko Sakakibara
 * Virgin Power: makes her blood extra delicious.
 * Women Are Wiser: Easily the most intelligent and level-headed (Tsundereusually) character in the series. Granted, it helps that most of the males in this series are batshit insane.
 * Yoshiko Sakakibara

A cute young police officer who was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was sent to investigate the mysterious disappearances in the small village of Cheddar. However, things are much worse as she finds out--a vampire masquerading as a priest had taken over the village and killed all the villagers, most of them now turned into slavering, mindless ghouls (zombies). Despite being severely outmatched, Seras refuses to back down and fights as best as she could. She was finally captured and held hostage by the vampire priest, who threatened to rape her (to make her lose her virginity, as non-virgin vampire victims become ghouls) and kill her. Alucard destroys the vampire, shooting Seras through the lung in the process. After this, Seras allows Alucard to suck her blood and transform her into a vampire. She becomes his servant and is employed as one of Hellsing's soldiers soon after.


 * Action Girl
 * Adrenaline Makeover: Goes from a shy and submissive vampire girl to a hardcore Draculina.
 * Artificial Limbs: Her shadow arm after she loses her real one to Zorin.
 * A Form You Are Comfortable With: Not as much as her Master, but she shifts her shadow/tendril into whatever she wants (arm or wing or swirly whip-thing).
 * Badass:
 * Badass Adorable
 * Badass in Distress: Occasionally, for Pip or Alucard to save.
 * And Integra too. See Sword Dancer arc.
 * Battle Couple: With Pip.
 * Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Subverted hard when she.
 * Berserk Button:
 * Beware the Nice Ones:
 * Also,
 * BFG: The Harkonnens. Look at the first Harkonnen [[media:Walter_Dornez_Harkonnen.jpg|compared to Walter]].
 * And near the end it's topped with Flak 88.
 * Blood Lust: Seems to go into something akin to a "blood rage" after tearing apart Hellsing's ghoul-turned army. Integra snaps her out of it and nothing comes from it. It never happens to her again, not even after.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Seras' eyes were first colored brown in the manga, then green, finally Hirano settled for blue.
 * The Big Guy
 * Boobs of Steel
 * Brains and Brawn: With Pip as the Brawn.
 * Break the Cutie
 * Cat Smile: She has one in OVA/Volume 8. And this was after
 * Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Yellow.
 * Conveniently an Orphan: Walter finds that she has no family left, which makes dealing with her new status as a vampire much simpler.
 * Cooldown Hug: Seras gets one from Integra at the end of the Valentine brothers fight
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Cute Little Fangs: At least at first...
 * Cute Monster Girl: Come on, admit it -- Seras is adorable.
 * Dangerously-Short Skirt: A miniskirt, and she definitely has the danger level set.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Sure, Seras dresses in bright colors, but she's a vampire. And you know how most vampires are portrayed. Alucard himself should have been an indication.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Extreme Doormat: To Integra. With Alucard, it's sightly subverted that she complains a few times, but he's so intimidating that makes her act quieter.
 * Fair Cop
 * Freudian Trio: With Alucard as The Id and Integra as Superego, Seras is Ego.
 * Fumiko Orikasa
 * Gag Boobs
 * Guns Akimbo: Harkonnen II
 * Hair of Gold (With shades of Dumb Blonde, according to Pip: "She's a bit dim/dumb, but a good girl.")
 * Happiness in Slavery: Being Alucard/Hellsing's servant doesn't seem to bother her very much.
 * Heroic BSOD: after.
 * Hidden Depths
 * How Do I Shot Web?: Seras encounters this issue with her new vampire powers.
 * Hunter of His Own Kind
 * I Hate You, Vampire Dad: There is no love lost between Seras and Alucard...
 * In-Series Nickname: Police Girl (by the author himself, used by most characters), Girly/Missy/Mignonette (Pip Bernadotte's).
 * Lecherous Licking: With Integra. You enjoyed it.
 * Les Yay: With Integra, via the fanservicy finger biting scene.
 * Looming Silhouette of Rage
 * Lovely Angels: With Integra in volumes 9 and 10.
 * Meaningful Name: Translated from Latin, her name means "Bringer of Victory".
 * Ms. Fanservice: It even gets lampshaded in-series.
 * Panty Shot: The uniform. Just...the uniform...
 * Her first meeting with Sir Penwood in the OVA is basically a loose combination between Ass Kicks You and Crash Into Hello, with emphasis on Seras' backside.
 * Morality Pet: Acts as this throughout the series. Honestly, if it weren't for Seras, Integra and Alucard would be a lot less sympathetic.
 * More Dakka: Harkonnen II. Holy hell, the Harkonnen II. A pair of eighty eight millimeter cannons belt fed from a backpack.
 * No Name Given: It's not that the characters insisted to call her Police Girl, but that Kohta Hirano didn't have a name for her until deadlines demanded him to change that at the end of the first volume. She was 'Police Girl' to him when he made the character. Then she became Seras Victoria.
 * Now That's Using Your Teeth: How she.
 * Oral Fixation Fixation: Occasionally.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Plucky Comic Relief
 * Pro-Human Transhuman
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Shipper on Deck:.
 * Shounen Hair
 * Shout-Out: The name of Seras' main weapon comes from Dune. Hirano jokingly compared the Harkonnen II's design to the Dendrobium Orchis.
 * Sidekick to Alucard, Integra and briefly Walter.
 * Non-Human Sidekick
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Is it Seras, Ceres, or Serouss?

 * Tsundere: Towards Pip Bernadotte, in particular.
 * Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Pip Bernadotte.
 * Unstoppable Rage
 * "Well Done, Daughter" Girl: Seems to be anxious to win Alucard's approval of her merits.
 * Vampire Bites Vampire: Hope you didn't need that
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Thigh high socks and mini skirt. Nuff' said!
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Thigh high socks and mini skirt. Nuff' said!

Integra's butler and also the retired retainer of the Hellsing Family. He is known as the "Angel of Death", due to his incredible fighting prowess and skill with manipulating ultra-thin wires that can cut nearly anything to ribbons. Don't be fooled by his elderly appearance--to this day he can still prove to kick a lot of undead ass.


 * Always Second Best: to Alucard.
 * Badass:
 * Badass Bookworm
 * Badass Grandpa: Emphasis on the "Badass" part. 70 years old, and still quite capable of tearing you and your undead army some new orifices. He claims he's not as spry as he used to be... which makes you wonder what he was like when he was younger.
 * Battle Butler
 * Battle Couple: Not a romantic one, but Young Walter and Girlycard can be included here.
 * Bishounen: Young Walter.
 * Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Dark purple.
 * Cool Old Guy: He may be 70+ years old but he sure can still rip you a new one.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Walter's not the first Battle Butler role for Motomu Kiyokawa. He also played Norman Burg. In addition, he's also voiced several older male characters like Fuyutsuki, Dr. Mikamura, Jose, and Laker Randolph. And Dr. Tokioka. Kiyokawa would later go on to play Valkenhayn, who is basically Walter as a werewolf.
 * And Young Walter is Edward Elric.
 * And Dark Walter is North Italy.
 * Hidden Depths
 * In-Series Nickname: "Shinigami Walter" (Angel of Death/Grim Reaper Walter).
 * Inexplicably Awesome
 * I Was Quite a Looker
 * The Lancer
 * Mouthy Kid: Dawn reveals that he was rather bratty as a kid. Probably justified; it'd be hard to discipline a 14-year-old whose well-deserved nickname is "Angel of Death".
 * Razor Floss: His trademark weapon, stored in his gloves. Walter has three versions of his gloves, two pairs like normal gloves (in white and black) and a fingerless pair.
 * Retired Badass
 * : One possible interpretation.
 * Scary Shiny Monocle: Half the glasses, double the scary-shininess.

No matter how you cut it, this man is Badass
 * It is heavily implied Alucard was much weaker back then and more in line with a normal vampire. Hellsing is stated to have experimented heavily on him in the last hundred years making him stronger which was why Anderson was surprised the conventional ways to kill a vampire did not work on Alucard.

A member of the Vatican black ops group the Iscariot Organization, Anderson is a Catholic priest trained to efficiently kill vampires. He has been genetically engineered to heal from any wound he receives, making him Alucard's equal in combat. His weapon of choice is blessed bayonets, which he carries in great quantities, throwing them with unerring accuracy in order to hit his target in as many places as possible. Both in and out of battle he is a very compassionate and caring person, whether it is towards the orphans in his charge or his fellow members of Iscariot. However he shows no mercy to his opponents, but holds special place in his heart for Alucard (presumably for his challenging nature) and Integra (whose bravery he finds impressive).


 * Alliterative Name
 * Anti Hero Antagonist: Type IV.
 * Awesome McCoolname: Alexander Anderson just has a kickass ring to it.
 * Badass:
 * Badass Abnormal: But to a lesser extent than you'd think. He's got one mother of a Healing Factor, and he uses magic Bible pages from time to time to teleport away or block escape. Usually, though, he simply relies on brains, guts, and a fuckton of blessed knives to fight, say, Alucard.
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Badass Preacher
 * Bayonet Ya
 * Blond Guys Are Evil: Subverted. In his first appearance he seems like a straight-up villain, but he's very much an Anti-Hero.
 * This only applies in the animated versions. In the manga covers, Anderson is Ambiguously Brown with silver/graying hair and blue eyes. They have Maxwell and him swap colors for some unknown reason.
 * Blood Knight: He enjoys slaughtering vampires just a little too much than is normal.
 * Calling Your Attacks
 * Catch Phrase: "Amen", and by GOD does he get to say it a lot.
 * Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Neon Green and a darker shade of blue than Integra's to be Alucard's blue Oni.

 * The Determinator: Really stands out in his final fight with Alucard.
 * The Dragon: To Maxwell.
 * Dual-Wielding: His bayonets.
 * Enemy Mine: With Integra, when.
 * Establishing Character Moment: When he's introduced, he breaks up a fight between two orphans and says that violence is never the answer. Except where heathens and monsters are concerned.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Even though he's not really evil. Anderson almost always follows his own set of rules, regardless of what Maxwell tells him. A notable example is when
 * What about when Maxwell went nuts and . Anderson believed he betrayed God and the Vatican for his actions and decided to waste him.

 * He Who Fights Monsters:
 * I Have Many Names: Bayonet Anderson, Killing Judge Anderson, Angel Dust Anderson (a Mythology Gag to his origins), Paladin Anderson, just to name a few. Alucard gives him another one: "Judas Priest", which doubles as a joke to Iscariot itself.

 * Knight Templar
 * Knife Nut: Infinite supply of Holy Bayonets, because he's actually fourth-dimensional.

 * The Rival: To Alucard.

 * Sociopathic Hero
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill Muggles: Yes, this even includes Protestant muggles,.
 * He doesn't seem to have so much against killing civilians as long as they are "heathens", as
 * Token Good Teammate: Van Helsing Hate Crimes aside, he's not really a bad person, and actually spreads his influence on those beneath his command. This is in stark contrast with the higher-ups in Iscariot.
 * Van Helsing Hate Crimes: But considering what most of the vampires in the series are like, can you blame him?

Maxwell is the ambitious commander of Section XIII and an even more fanatically bloodthirsty Catholic than Anderson. While he does not do any fighting and killing in person, his orders are ruthless and he shows no mercy to Protestants, considering the "sinners" to be less than human.

Heinkel Wolfe and Yumie Takagi


Heinkel and Yumie first appear in the Crossfire extras at the end of Hellsing volumes 1, 2, and 3 as female Iscariot assassins, taking down various anti-Catholic terrorists. Heinkel, who cross-dresses as a priest, wields a pair of pistols. Yumie exists as the fanatical alternate personality of the meek nun Yumiko, the only Japanese character in Hellsing. Both are extremely effective in combat.

Word of God says that the Heinkel and Yumie in Crossfire are different characters from the ones that appear in the main continuity, but they are identical in personality and appearance anyway. The OVA has given both slightly more screentime.


 * A Day in the Limelight: The Crossfire side-stories focus on them.
 * Ambiguous Gender: It's unclear what gender Heinkel is in the main continuity. In the OVA Heinkel's seiyuu is female, but she speaks in a more masculine tone. It seems that the OVA series decided Heinkel is male--the credit sequence for the 9th OVA focuses on Hellsing's female characters, but leaves Heinkel out.
 * Anti-Hero: Type IV
 * Badass Normal: Heinkel, at least. Yumie appears to be an ordinary human both in Crossfire and the Hellsing manga but in the OVA she is shown transforming into a purple, shadowy substance when attacking.
 * Bandaged Face: Future

The leading commander of Millenium, an nazi vampire organization hellbent on destroying London as a revenge for the Third Reich's defeat. He is a short, fat, Aryan who was a former member of SS, who was given order from the Führer himself to create a mighty army of super vampires. He created at least 1000 vampires before Nazi Germany's defeat but the Major took the Führer's order at heart and spent the last 50 years on planning to restart World War II.

The Doktor


The chief scientist of Millennium. He is the one responsible for the creation of the artificial vampires, made possible by his work involving "Shi". 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.

Millennium's magical sharpshooter and Perky Female Minion, seen singing opera in her first appearance. She compares herself to Kaspar, the protagonist of the German opera Der Freischütz; appropriately, her Weapon of Choice is a musket with magic bullets.


 * Affably Evil
 * Author Appeal: Rip Van Winkle has been described as "The sum of all Hirano's fetishes". And seeing how her death scene is chock-full of rape imagery, this has some frightening implications.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: Her weapon of choice generally has an aimed range of about 50 yards. She routinely hits multiple targets with a single bullet from well outside the nominal effective range of her weapon, even if this requires the bullets to change direction in mid-flight.
 * Catch Phrase: Varies by translation, but it's usually something along the lines of "Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, my bullet punishes all without distinction."
 * Her rendition of "O diese Sonne" counts as well. Doubles as an Ear Worm
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Cute and Psycho
 * Cute Monster Girl
 * Dark Chick
 * Even Evil Has Standards: She sure doesn't like traitors who would sell out their comrades in exchange for superpowers, and she won't hesitate to execute them.
 * Face Death with Dignity: Although she breaks down at first when Alucard arrives, he actually pauses and lets her compose herself and fire off one last shot before killing her.

 * Older Than They Look: Rip appeared in Dawn, meaning that she is at least 60 years old. Admittedly she's a tech vampire.
 * Perky Female Minion
 * Pinball Projectile: Her magic bullets.
 * Psychopathic Manchild: What with the color guard-esque shenanigans with her Musket and general squee-ing personality, Rip comes off less like a Vampiric monster and more like a really chipper 13 year-old who's totally excited about this whole Nazi thing.
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Scary Shiny Glasses
 * Shout-Out: Der Freischütz.
 * Slasher Smile
 * Villainous Breakdown: Turns into a sobbing wreck when Alucard lands on her ship, her subordinate even tells her to get a hold of herself. To be fair, who wouldn't Freak-Out while facing down Alucard?
 * It should be noted that most people start freaking out when they see what Alucard is capable of. Rip starts freaking out the instant she realizes that he's in the area - while he's still fifteen miles away. He must have done something truly terrifying to her in the chapters of Hellsing - The Dawn that haven't been written to make that kind of impression on her. Also notable is that she's the only person who gets into a fight with Alucard that actually freaks out without fighting him. Every other villain besides her claims that they will kill Alucard. Not her.

Voiced by Takehito Koyasu (Luke, JP) and Wataru Takagi (Jan, JP), Patrick Seitz (Luke, EN) and Josh Philips (Jan, EN)


Jan and Luke Valentine are the first of the Millennium forces sent specifically to attack Hellsing.

Appearance-wise, Luke is a sophisticated prettyboy. He is the "brains" of the operation and he believes that he can surpass Alucard. His vampiric power manifests as regeneration and super-speed. While Jan doesn't seem to have any specialized power whatsoever, he's more than happy to casually slaughter ordinary humans. Covered in piercings, he is the more vulgar and depraved of the brothers.

Despite their status as some of the weaker nonhumans of the cast, they manage to inflict significant casualties on Hellsing's human personnel.

After their deaths, Luke and Jan become the hosts of the Hellsing omakes at the end of each manga volume.

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