"Do you understand, you English sow?"

- Enrico Maxwell to Integra, Hellsing Episode 7 "Duel".

Enrico Maxwell (エンリコ・マクスウェル) is a Supporting Character of the Hellsing Anime. He is the fanatical leader of the Iscariot Organization who seeks to exterminate all "unholy" creatures and heretics on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church. He's one of the primary rivals to the Hellsing Organization.

Personality
Maxwell is the leader of the Vatican's Iscariot Organization, controlling his subordinates with an iron fist. Maxwell seeks to cleanse the world of "unholy" beings like vampires and also wants to cleanse both England and Europe of heretics such as Protestants.

Appearance
Maxwell is a tall and slender man who wears white and purple garb, as well as white gloves. He keeps his long, silvery-white hair in a ponytail and has eyes that appear green in color. His hair and eyes suggest a pigmentation issue such as albinism or leucism, however, his skin isn't all that pale, but fair.

Before the Events of Hellsing
Although his backstory in the original Anime is unknown, it can be assumed that he has the same backstory as his Manga/OVA counterpart.

The Events of Hellsing
When a new breed of vampires began emerging in Europe, Iscariot found itself butting heads with its Protestant rival, the Hellsing Organization. Maxwell notices about the existence of Enrico Stivaletti and sent Anderson to deal with Enrico. Anderson however ignores his true mission, and instead focuses on the basic requirements of his crusade, killing Gareth Henderson, the commander of the Hellsing Organization. Enrico quickly sent a letter to Integra, he wants Anderson to quickly return to the Vatican.

Enrico notices the Valentine Brother's attack on the Hellsing Manor, and invites Integra to meet in an Art Museum to talk. He arrives there with Renaldo, and meets Integra. Enrico tries to shake hands and make peace with Integra, but an angry Integra after the Enrico Stivaletti incident, ignores and after Enrico says that he's giving his condolences to the 135 Members of the Hellsing Organization's death, Integra bursts with anger and slaps the flower that was given by Enrico and mentions the Incident about Alexander Anderson that results in the death of their commander and the violation of their agreement. Enrico quickly lost patience with Integra and insults her, and orders Renaldo to show the FREAK chip. He explains that their research indicates that the FREAK chips came from England, and the result was the ghouls entering their territory. He tells Integra that Hellsing and the vampires are the same, and calls Integra an English sow, only to have his first meeting with Alucard. Enrico laughs it off and lets them know that Anderson is near Seras and Mason Fox, which led to another battle that results in Anderson losing both of his arms due to the Jackal. At the end of the episode, Enrico meets with Integra in a restaurant, and then she informs him of Anderson's failure and Enrico preferred not to get involved after that warning.

Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing
Maxwell shares a bitter rivalry with Integra Hellsing, due to their similar occupations (both are heads of military-based organizations sworn to protect their leader and Christianity) and differing ideologies (Hellsing falls under the Church of England, a Protestant Church, while the Vatican is Catholic). Their feud sometimes borders on violent, sometimes causing their meetings to be not so civil.

Quotes
"Well, well... I guess I made you hate me so much." "We are here to give condolences to you and your organization." "Stop complaining and listen to me!" "For us, Hellsing and the vampires are the same."

Enrico Maxwell Anime-To-Manga Differences
Since he only appeared in 1 Episode, we don't really know how different he is from his Manga counterpart, but we do know how different the Museum scene from the manga is, here is some notable ones:


 * Enrico gives flowers when meeting with Integra, which she knocks out of his hands. And also which then he himself tramples.
 * Maxwell comes not to make peace, but to warn Hellsing that it is not worth "playing" with the Vatican.
 * After Alucard 's threat, caused by Maxwell's insult towards Integra, Anderson does not come. And Enrico is saved by the fact that he informs Integra and Alucard about his plans, Anderson's directions to the subway.
