Hellsing Organisation

"We will not give up and despair, We are on a mission from God."

Her Royal England Legions of Legitimate Supernatural and Immortal Night Guard, the Hellsing Organisation (ヘルシング機関,), more formally known as the Royal Order of Protestant Knights (王立国教騎士団,), is a fictional Organisation from the manga series Hellsing by Kouta Hirano.

It's created for the sole purpose of keeping the country save from Supernatural threats, and Its headquarters are at the Hellsing Manor located on the outskirts of London and mainly operates within the UK. Founded by Abraham Van Helsing after Dracula's defeat, the Hellsing Organisation specializes in supernatural threats like Zombies, Ghouls and Vampires.

The actual Helsing lineage ends with Integra; at the end of the series she is past child bearing age and hasn't adopted.

Hellsing Organisation
The name "Hellsing" comes from Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing's ancestor and Sir Arthur Hellsing's father, Abraham Van Helsing. The current leader of the Hellsing Organisation, Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, is the granddaughter of Professor Helsing. In Hirano's universe, the Organisation is an integral part of the true power-structure of Great Britain, which is in fact still ruled by a hidden aristocracy and the monarchy. The Organisation is tasked with defending the country's shores from any and all supernatural, extraterrestrial and satanic threats.

Most obviously, Hellsing's main location is in the UK; therefore, constituent countries like Northern Irelands does count as a Hellsing territory; despite this, the Vatican claimed that it's their territory, which caused their relationship to start growing more and more bad.

The relationship between the Queen and Hellsing seems to be pretty good; with both of them respecting each other obviously, along with the Hellsing's Trump Card being pretty close to the Queen during World War II. However, Hellsing's relationship with the Police, specifically; London Police are more harsh; with Integra belittling them for not believing that such creatures exists, when there's many evidence provided that they do exist.

Hellsing Manor
The Hellsing Manor, located in the country side some distance from London's outskirts, is a huge mansion and serves as the headquarters for Hellsing. It's guarded by many skilled soldiers of Hellsing, however; is noted to have a pretty weak security. In addition, the training of the Hellsing members takes place in this area; and a dungeon, later turned into the interrogation room exists.

Method
Controversy is often raised, especially in the manga, over the highly unconventional methods Hellsing chooses to do this, namely the use of anti-Christian powers and creatures. To not cause public panic, the supernatural creatures are kept secret; preventing News Stations to report on it and any media of it will be blacklisted and banned permanently, however, Hellsing's recent activities are considered "loud" and caused many Round Table members to worry. In the TV Series, the agency's soldiers, uniforms, methods, and gear would suggest that it is a counter-terrorist paramilitary strike force. This differs from the manga and OVA, which focuses primarily on the main characters, leaving the soldiers and associated paramilitary paraphernalia to be rarely seen.

While it's main objective is to kill a vampire; they only do so had they posed a threat to the public, the TV Series expanded on this more; adding an original character named Helena, who was a true vampire that hated the organisation for killing their friends; despite this, she just wants to be left alone, and so - Hellsing left her alone too. When necessary, they will kill humans; especially if they're working with the vampires. Hellsing also will not attack a vampire unless it poses a threat to Great Britain, the Church of England or to the British Crown. Also, the biggest weapon against the vampires that threaten to engulf England is, ironically, a vampire. His name is Alucard, and is sworn to protect Abraham's descendants due to the contract he had made with him. However, he is used when necessary.

Dracula
It is suggested that the Hellsing Organisation was founded by Abraham Van Helsing shortly after the events of Bram Stoker's novel as a response to the threat posed by vampires after his encounter with Dracula. The purpose of the Hellsing Organisation is to end all earthly activity of non-human creatures. It is traditionally headed by Abraham's descendants, as they are the only ones who can control Alucard, "the fruit of the Hellsing family's labors," whom they performed many experiments upon, building him into the ultimate undead for use in battle against other undead.

World War II
In Hellsing: The Dawn, which is set in 1944, Arthur Hellsing, then the director of the Organisation, sent Alucard and a 14-year-old Walter C. Dornez to halt the attempts by Millennium to create an artificial vampire force that could help the Nazis win World War II. They succeeded in eradicating a majority of the soldiers, although they failed to kill the key members of the porject.

Post World War II
After WWII, it was decided that Alucard was too powerful, and potentially dangerous to be used as a weapon, and as thus was sealed away in the basement of the Hellsing mansion. Upon Arthur's death, his daughter, Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, became the director of the Organisation, not before her uncle Richard Hellsing attempted to kill her and take the headship of the Organisation for himself. This inadvertently awakened Alucard, whom quickly overpowers Richard. Then, in a bold move, the 12-year-old Integra fires the bullet that ends Richard's life. By doing so, she is left at the helm of Hellsing, and the true master of Alucard.

Manga/OVA
After the events of the Battle of London, the Hellsing organisation continued operating as usual; with now, Seras Victoria as their trump card, due to the fact that Alucard had been seemingly eliminated during that event. Things seems to operate as usual, with seemingly, no fatal fatalities over the course of 30 years, however, Alucard and Walter's death seemingly took a heavy toll on Integra's mental health, and even after 30 years, which would make Integra practically a grandma, she was still a virgin and never had a children, therefore, the next heir of the Hellsing organisation is not clear. Despite this, Alucard eventually returns after 30 years, and ended up regaining his "trump card" status along with Victoria.

Anime
The anime however was more tragic; after the destruction caused by Hellsing's battle with Incognito, practically everyone who serves the Hellsing organisation as their soldier; was killed, and the organisation itself suffers from this. The Queen of England had also left Hellsing on their own, therefore, they couldn't get any help. Framed as a terrorist, the organisation was in deep danger and eventually, the defeat of Incognito doesn't do justice to Hellsing. Most of the population still saw them as a potential threat and labeled them as a "war-criminal", and even some was celebrating the organisation's captain, Peter Fargason when the news reported that he had died in battle. Because of this, Hellsing was officially disbanded and Integra was apprehended and locked, despite them finding out who Incognito's master is.

Headmaster

 * Sir Integra Hellsing
 * A descendant of Abraham Van Helsing and the Bureau Director of the Hellsing Organisation. She inherited the headship of the Hellsing family at the age of 13 (12 in the manga), upon her father's death. She is beautiful, intelligent, and strong. Although she often seems strict and domineering she is respected and admired, even among her sworn enemies. She runs the Hellsing Organisation with charisma and patriotism, she is one of the few people who can stand up to the force of Alucard's personality and command his respect.

Trump Card

 * Alucard
 * As the Hellsing Organisation's most powerful warrior, he serves as its special "trump card". He has a vast range of supernatural techniques and is an expert gunfighter, as well as having enhanced strength. He has a massive ego, and frequently gives enemies more than one chance to kill him before retaliating, if only to demonstrate his enormous powers. He is not only a vampire, but also one of the most ancient ones, his original life dating back into the 1400s.


 * Seras Victoria
 * A 19-year-old orphan. Seras was formerly a member of the police force's Special Division 11, after being mortally wounded on a mission by Alucard, chose to join him in the ranks of the undead, rather than accepting death. She now serves as Alucard's fledgling vampire, and, through him, serves Integra and the Hellsing Organisation. Although she primarily uses weapons such as her Harkonnen, Seras is well-trained in hand-to-hand combat and can easily take down opponents using brute strength; Seras is often considered a very brave, strong-willed and heroic young woman.

Personnel and Equipment
The Hellsing Organisation is understood to have a body of soldiers responsible for the protection of the Hellsing Mansion and, in the TV series, conducting offensive operations against targets. In the manga and OVA versions, this force is seldom mentioned, until an attack by the Valentine Brothers, where it is destroyed to the man, and eventually replaced with a mercenary unit, the Wild Geese, led by Pip Bernadotte. The TV series, however, deals much more extensively with Hellsing's human soldiers, and they are shown using "Saxon" and VAB armored personnel carriers, wearing uniform and what appears to be Scalable Plate Carrier body armour, and handling a variety of weapons, especially MP5A3 submachine guns. In the manga, L85A1 rifles are shown briefly, but replaced with Colt Model 733 carbines in the OVA.

According to Walter's report in the aftermath of the Valentine brothers' attack on the mansion, the Hellsing Organisation's military included 96 soldiers, reduced to a mere 8 after battling the Ghoul army (and the 8 survivors only escaped death by being away from the mansion at the time of the attack). In order to keep up their fighting strength in the face of Millennium's looming threat, Integra decided to hire the Wild Geese mercenaries to replace their lost soldiers. Their decision to hire the Wild Geese are likely hasty, considering they're put into much pressure by the Convention of Twelve.

Motto
The official motto of the Hellsing Organisation appears to be "We will not give up and despair, We are on a mission from God", with the "We are on a mission from God" part appearing on the crest itself, but the introduction to the TV series, directly under the word "Hellsing," as well as in the dialogue within the series itself, a short prayer appears: "In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen." It is spoken by the Hellsing soldiers before going off to battle. However, since the prayer does not appear in the manga, it cannot be considered Hellsing's official motto. Also, in the TV series, "We are on a mission from God" does not appear on the crests worn by the soldiers, although the word "Hellsing" can still be seen at the top. In the manga and the OVA, it does. In the manga, other phrases sometimes replace it, but "We are on a mission from God" remains the most common. The motto 'May God and Her Majesty be with you' is also said in the first series.

Resources
Mostly, the Hellsing Organisation is given financial aid by the Convention of Twelve; however, the most notable support of them are Sir Shelby M. Penwood and eventually when he passed; Sir Gregory Penwood, his grandson. With that, they have access to the up-to-date military vehicles like Helicopters, APCs, ect. However, despite its resources mostly came due to the aid of the Penwood's, Hellsing is overall a very rich organisation because of the fact that the Hellsing family was indeed just rich.
