The Convention of Twelve

The Convention of Twelve is a society made up of individuals of political and economic prominence, nobles, and military leaders, all loyal to the English crown. Essentially this is a small group that runs the British Empire from behind.They hold meetings around a long, rectangular table, with Sir Integra Hellsing at the head and Sir Hugh Islands at the foot. They have also been known as the Roundtable Conference, in reference to the Round Table of Arthurian legend. In addition to the Queen, Hellsing also answers first to the Convention of Twelve, of which Integra is their latest and youngest member, but by no means their weakest. In fact she is easily their strongest along with Sir Islands (Irons in the Dark Horse/Digital Manga translation). Besides Integra her known predecessors include Arthur Hellsing, who seemed acting like the former 'head' of the Convention possibly passing the charge to his friend Islands and his own daughter. It is speculated by fans that, just like Arthur and Integra were involved in World Wars in favour to England, Abraham van Helsing was in the first great war. It's a possibility Richard Hellsing sought Integra's position to belong to the Round Table rather than to lead a vampire hunting organization.
