Sir Integral Wingates Hellsing (anime)

"I'm surrounded by idiots."

- Integra Hellsing

Integra Wingates Hellsing (インテグラル・ファルブルケ・ヘルシング Integuraru Wingētsu Herushingu) is the deuteragonist of the Hellsing anime series.

She is Alucard's master and the head of the Hellsing Organization. She is a descendant of Abraham van Hellsing and is the last of her family due to her uncle trying to kill her. She was saved by Alucard and she succeeded in killing Richard Hellsing. She protects England and her Queen against the forces of the supernatural.

She is voiced by Yoshiko Sakakibara in Japanese, and Victoria Harwood on the English dub of the series. The two later on, reprised their role as Sir Integra in the new Hellsing: Ultimate series.

Physical
Integra has long, blond hair; thin, ice blue eyes; and pale brown skin which suggests her mother was of foreign blood, most likely Indian. (Aside from skin color, in the photograph from episode: 10, Integra's mother wears a sari; in episode : 9, Laura has a bindi; and Britian's colonization of India makes it very probable.) Integra is also very tall for a woman (190cm).

Clothing
She dresses in men's suits, which are dark green in the anime, over a collared, white dress shirt. Under her collar is a dark blue tie with a cross pinned to it. Integra wears a pair of circular wire-rimmed glasses and wears white gloves and dark brown shoes. In Order: 03 Sword Dancer, she also wears a formal uniform when confronting Father Alexander Anderson. The color scheme is almost the same as her regular suit and she keeps her blue tie, but the outfit itself is different. She wears boots, a dark overcoat, and a belt which secures a sword at her side. She wears a white dress shirt, a circular glasses with red cravat, a blue skirt and a dark pinkish purple booties. She wears the same outfit as her main one, but added with a beige cloak with brown stripes. She wears the same outfit as her main one, albeit a little darker. She now wears a Veil, feather hat.

Personality
Integra's demeanor is usually quite calm and cool, and she tends to keep her emotions hidden. She will show annoyance, impatience, and arrogance, and although she can quickly become angry, she very rarely loses control of her feelings. Maintaining self-control is vital to her. In general, Integra faces adversity very calmly, either with varying degrees of detachment (she doesn't seem to care what others think of her as long as she gets her way) or of arrogance.

Integra is fearless, has been since she was a child, and has carried this trait with her into adulthood. Though not as overt as Alucard, there is an intimidating and domineering air about her; Alucard was intimidated and bowed to her because of her bravery, and says that she is "that man" (referring to Arthur, her dad.) In these cases, Integra handles her situations with collectedness, her usual way of dealing with everything. But at key points she does lose control. For example, she is extremely distressed upon discovering that she has been betrayed by the Round Table, and Walter has tried many times to keep her calm. It is at this point that Integra truly feels helpless. The circumstances surrounding this situation are extreme; her troops are being slaughtered by FREAKS, and the Hellsing family has been labeled terrorists. She is also still recovering from her surgery, which has left her extremely weak and highly succeptible to stress.

Integra has the tendency to overexaggerate her emotions, as when she puts excessive amounts of blame on herself for the deaths of Hellsing's soldiers in episodes 5 and 6. In this case, Integra feels overwhelming and slightly irrational feelings of guilt. She genuinely regrets her soldiers' deaths and holds herself accountable.

Family
Integra's known family includes Abraham Van Helsing, a Dutch metaphysican and philosopher and one of the main characters of Bram Stoker's Dracula, who was either her grandfather or her great-grandfather. Her father was Sir Arthur Hellsing, who died when she was 13 years old (12 years old in the manga), in 1989. Even though Integra had a far from normal childhood and did not go to school or a daycare, it was obvious that Arthur loved Integra very much, and wanted the best for her. It was from him that she inherited her current position as Bureau Director of the Hellsing Organization and her seat in the Convention of Twelve. Her uncle, Richard, sought to kill her and take the headship of the Hellsing family for himself. This was prevented by Alucard, when he blocked the bullet that was fired at Integra's face. Richard's exact motivations are unknown, though it is possible that he coveted the power and prestige of a seat in the Convention of Twelve.

There is a general assumption that Integra is not of full European descent. Her skin color is a creamy brown, darker than that of many other characters. In a flashback in episode 10: Master of Monster, there is a photograph of an infant Integra being held by a woman wearing a sari, suggesting that her mother might have been Indian or of Indian descent.

Arthur Hellsing
Sir Hellsing (Lord Hellsing) was Integra's father. Although he only appears only briefly in the anime, it is clear that Integra loved him very much and was deeply loved by him. Their relationship was likely close and affectionate, although he had high expectations of her. When she appears late to their meeting, he gently points out her tardiness. Judging by their lessons,in the episode Master of Monster. The episode shows that Integra was very close to her father and that the memory of his death still moves her to tears. Her father is shown as both an affectionate parent and a mentor figure. Through his teachings, Integra learns of the true purpose of the Hellsing Organization in their war against the vampires and also learns what the vampires are capable of. On his deathbed, Arthur names Integra the new head of the Hellsing family. He touches her face and tells her before he dies, "Remember Integra, be glorious." Before his death, it is discovered that Arthur entrusted Integra with Alucard's location in the dungeons (something that he did not tell his own brother) in case she ever needed protection. Because of her close connection with her father, Integra takes great pride in her family and the organization that her family has built. Even after his death, Integra continues to use his teachings to fulfill her duties to her lineage; she probably also greatly misses him, as suggested by how she (as young Integra) stares at him during the dream in episode 10, and by how frequently she is shown looking at his painting.

Alucard
Alucard and Integra share a complex but strict "master and servant" relationship. Integra has been connected to him since her father's death. Arthur Hellsing named her the new head of the Hellsing Organization, a decision that drove his jealous brother, Richard, to try and kill her. Using the air ducts, Integra snuck into the dungeons of the Hellsing estate's sublevels and found Alucard's corpse in one of the rooms. Shortly upon discovering him, Richard finds her and shoots her. The bullet grazed her arm and the blood from her injury fell onto the corpse, awakening Alucard. He kills all the men in the room and severes Richard's arm before pledging his allengance to his new master. After protecting her from Richard's final attempt to kill her, Alucard allows Integra to kill her uncle herself. In the television series, Alucard offered Integra to be a vampire shortly after his awakening, but only when she bravely defied him did he consider her worthy of his respect and servitude and fit to be the head of the Hellsing family. Alucard once claimed that Integra would "always be that same little girl to [him.]" Over the years, it is implied that Alucard and Walter help her grow and mature into the leader she becomes. As such, Integra is the only person whom Alucard will obey. Integra is also one of few people whose life and honor Alucard will bother to openly protect. In Episode 9 (Red Rose Vertigo) of the television series, Alucard is moved to shock and rage when Incognito implies that Integra has been killed. Rather than stay and fight, Alucard makes a hasty return to the Hellsing manor to kill Bubbancy before she could turn Integra into a ghoul.

Seras Victoria
Her relationship with Seras Victoria is strained and professional in the TV series. It's purely employee-employer with a degree of prejudice on Integra's behalf. Despite that, Seras makes it her duty to protect Integra and even shows regret when she could not save her from Bubbancy's attack. Seras' loyalty to Integra might be determined by Alucard acting like a bridge between her and his master. In the 10th episode, after observing Alucard's reactions during Integra's surgery, she voiced the conclusion "The master of my master". there had been a barrier between Integra and Seras. Integra does not immediately welcome the newly changed "police girl" into her organization and is irritated when Alucard insists that Seras be transferred to the Hellsing Organization.

Throughout the series, Integra seems to have a very obvious prejudice and annoyance towards Seras, which seems to be returned to her. In episode three, she says that her organization has no need for a "half starved vampire who can't protect her own commander." Despite this, Seras is still loyal to Integra. She expresses great sadness in episode 10 when she could not protect Integra from Bubbancy, and is at her side in the final episode when Alucard fights Incognito. Alucard is the bridge between them. During Integra's surgery, Seras realises that her relationship with Alucard is the same as his with Integra confirming this by saying "The master of my master". She is once again reminded of this aspect when, in search of Alucard, she sees the both of them on Integra's balcony.

Walter C. Dornez
Walter is Integra's devoted and trusted servant. He has served as the Hellsing family's steward for quite some time and is one the few constants in Integra's life; Integra grew up with him to protect her. In episode 2, when Integra questions whether Walter wishes to be out on the field again (referring to his days as the Shinigami, when he worked as a Hellsing agent), he denies that, saying his most important duty is to protect Integra. Walter would give his life to protect her, and he almost does in episode 13.

Integra relies on Walter a great deal, not just for his abilities as a steward - although at times she takes it for granted that he must follow her orders, and thus treats him coolly when he is only being concerned - but also for emotional support. Walter is perhaps the only one Integra can really turn to for this, but since she never directly asks for it, he usually provides it subtlely and indirectly; when absolutely necessary, he will even directly support her regardless of how she responds.

Peter Fargason
Fargason, the commander of the Hellsing Institution 1st Squadron, has probably been working for Hellsing for quite some time. He is dedicated to Hellsing and obeys orders quickly and efficiently. Integra clearly trusts and respects him. Although they don't seem to have a very close relationship, she is distraught over his almost death by Jan, and then his real death in episode 12.

Enrico Maxwell
As much as she despises the undead, Integra's dislike for them is paled only by her passionate hatred for Iscariot, the Catholic organization that rivals Hellsing. To Integra, England is a thoroughly Protestant nation, and Iscariot's interferences are condescending attempts by the Vatican to subvert England's religion. In particular, she clashes with Enrico Maxwell, one of the top priests of Iscariot, at first attempts to charm Integra through polite manners, oily words, and pretty roses. These, of course, fail. He comes off as a devious, ruthless jerk, but also as a coward when faced when Alucard and somewhat pathetic in his inability to successfully handle Integra. Although Integra is not above using insults against him, hers are mocking responses to Maxwell's; he calls her a "female swine" out of anger, and later, after she knows she has won, she returns him the favor by calling him "Vatican's male swine."

The Round Table Members
Integra has a somewhat strained relationship with the Knights of the Round Table. Of the ten knights, she is the only woman, and she is also the youngest. Furthermore, she has the difficult task of eliminating the undead while making sure that Hellsing Organization remains a secret.In episode five, the Knights meet at the Hellsing mansion out of concern for the increase in artificial vampires. At least several of the Knights are determined to hold Integra and Hellsing accountable for the recent attacks, as well as the increase in public awareness of the undead's existance. Integra, however, calmly and coolly points out the knights' neglect of their own areas, as well as factors beyond Hellsing's control.

The knights hold Integra accountable for the events in episodes five and six; this is somewhat unnecessary since Integra already completely blames herself. But their harshness in handling her seems a little overboard, even if it is fair to expect Integra to accept responsibility for what happens in her own organization.

Although Hellsing and Integra are betrayed by a member of the Round Table, the one who did it was confirmed to work with Incognito, it may or may not be, Incognito's Master. But in the end, it was revealed that the member has been dealt with.

Overview
Unlike the vampires, Walter, and the priest, Integra has no extraordinary, superhuman abilities. Fortunately, she has Alucard, Walter, and Seras to protect her. However, Integra isn't completely helpless in facing the undead. She can use pistols, and her aim is extremely accurate. She frequently perfects her skill in Hellsing's shooting range. When the Valentine Brothers invade Hellsing, Integra uses this ability to stave off Jan with incendiary quick-silver bullets; all her six shots strike him in the head.

More indirectly, Integra, as Alucard's master, has the vampire to command, and she is also the only one who can release the final seal on his powers.

Skills
Her aim with a pistol is almost superhumanly accurate. The anime displays her skill in episode 2: Club M, where she is seen shooting through the same hole on a practice target with what looks to be a Walther PPK (she also uses a Beretta 93R at one point). Another example of her prowess was her ability to shoot Jan Valentine six times with the same pistol, with the bullets forming a cross on his face (more impressive, considering the recoiled and was sent backwards from the force of each bullet).

Very intelligent, Integra was able to determine the route Leif and Jessica would take and who their next targets would be by following their patterns, and she devised a strategy accordingly. Being weak is unacceptable to Integra. As Alucard suggests, this began when she was almost killed by Richard. Although she refused to give in to Richard, when he aimed his gun at her inside the cell, she seemed to accept her death. Yet not too much later, when facing Alucard, Integra realized that she could not simply allow herself to be killed without fighting back; doing so went against everything she was and valued. She passionately expressed to Alucard this pride in herself and her beliefs, and from then on, Alucard says, Integra could never give up at anything. Failure would remind her of this experience, in which she almost gave up and died as a result. Weakness cannot be shown, cannot be tolerated, and failure is equivalent to death.

She seems to have control on Alucard's Restriction Power, an example is in Episode 13, when Integra yells at Alucard to unlock Level One, reviving him.

Name and Title
The manga and the OVA use Integra's full name, but it is shortened to "Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing" in the TV anime. Although the OVA version as well as the anime uses the first name Integra, the English adaption of the manga refers to Integra's full first name as Integral due to the extra -ru in the Japanese spelling. The main characters in particular call her Sir Integra (Alucard usually preferring to address her as "Master"), Integra being a nickname. Hellsing, as the bonus booklet included in the Japanese edition of the first Hellsing DVD reveals, is an acronym for "Her Royal England Legions of Legitimate Supernatural and Immortal Night Guard", as well as the protagonist of the 1897 novel Dracula. Wingates is an uncommon English name.

As a member of the Royal Protestant Knights, she is designated with the title, "Sir", which has caused some confusion both within the anime and OVA universe and with fans, about Integra's gender. Whether the title is inherited from her father, in which case she is a Baronetess, remains a matter of speculation. The correct appellation for knighted females within the British honours system is, in fact, "Dame", not "Sir." Whether Integra's title is correct within the fictional Protestant Knights of the Hellsing Universe or is simply a misnomer is not known.

Sir Integra Manga-To-Anime Differences

 * While not much has changed, Integra's personality is slightly different; here, she's more a little bit of a hot-headed person.
 * While the manga and OVA had her in her combat outfit multiple times, here, she only used it once; and it is in episode 3.
 * Integra's and Alucard's relationship appears to be more fleshed out in this version, with Alucard constantly asking her if she wants to become a vampire like him - feeling that she had now just earned the rights to transcend Humanity.
