Heinkel Wulf

Heinkel Wolfe is an assassin agent for the Iscariot organization who usually partners with Yumiko Takagi. Heinkel is voiced by Mitsuki Saiga in the OVA.

Appearance
Heinkel is a character especially notable for having a particularly androgynous appearance, making it difficult to tell the gender. Heinkel has many masculine traits, such as choices in dress, a chain smoking habit, and a gruff demeanor, but could quite easily be female. There is also some speculation that Heinkel is intersexual.

Plot Summery
Heinkel acts as a bodyguard for Enrico Maxwell and is later seen, along with Yumiko Takagi's other personality Yumie, among the brigade of Catholic priests sent to apprehend Integra by Father Anderson's leadership. In Chapter 74 of the manga, While trying to attack Walter after Yumie's death The Captain shoots Heinkel in the face; the bullet enters through the left cheek, exits through the right, and severely damages the right side of Heinkel's face. Heinkel is bewildered as the Captain gestures to him/her with his head, which he/she interprets as 'stay out of the way'. He tosses him/her a first-aid kit, and Heinkel realizes that the Captain spared his/her life when he could have easily killed him/her. After seeing Yumie's remains, a bandaged and enraged Heinkel swears revenge on Walter, and takes a sniper rifle from the small group of remaining Iscariot priests. While Walter is distracted by Alucard's remains, Heinkel shoots him through the chest with his/her sniper rifle. Heinkel makes a couple of small non-speaking appearances in Hellsing OVA 4, shooting a corrupt priest under Maxwell's order and later aiming her pistols at Schrödinger when he unexpectedly materializes at the Hellsing-Vatican meeting with the Queen of England. In the final chapter, Heinkel seems to have become a regenerator, replacing Anderson as Iscariot's trump card. Coincidentally, he/she develops a feud with Seras Victoria, much like their mentors Alucard and Anderson. He/she still has the wound inflicted by the Captain (Much like Anderson's scar) and has not aged over 40 years, implying that he/she has become a regenerator like Anderson. It is unknown if he/she still wields pistols, or bayonets like Anderson. It's revealed, that as of now, the Iscariot Organisation is too weak after the 9th Crusade, and that the next crusade will have to take at least some centuries, which enrages Heinkel as he/she wanted to be part of taking down Hellsing, despite knowing that it would be impossible if they acted now. This would seem to imply that the incident in London made him lose his/her cool-headed personality and develop a much more violent and impulsive one, like the ones of his dead comrades Yumie and Anderson. This is further suggested by his/her behavior after being shot by the Captain and shooting Walter through the heart; he/she becomes more enraged and fanatical.

Trivia

 * Remarks made by Hellsing creator Kouta Hirano in a December 2005 issue of "Puff" magazine, in which he was interviewed about the upcoming Hellsing OVA series and Hellsing in general, have shed new insight into Heinkel and her curiously androgynous appearance. It seems he/she is "neither male nor female"; possibly intersexual, though given Hirano's frequent ironic remarks, the validity of this statement is disputed.


 * A character by the same name is featured in one of Kouta Hirano's previous manga, Crossfire. However, the obviously female Heinkel Wolfe in Crossfire is a completely different character from the one in Hellsing, and the two should not be confused with each other.
