Alucard/History

Early Life
Alucard was once known as Count Dracula, also known as Vlad III Dracula, the son of Vlad II Dracul. Born in 1431, he later became known as Vlad Ţepeş ("Vlad the Impaler") and as Kazıklı Voyvoda ("the Impaling Voivode") by the Turks, gaining a fearsome reputation throughout the lands. He is arguably the first vampire that ever existed. It is revealed in Alucard's flashback in Chapter 70 of Hellsing, that he was enslaved by Ottoman conquerors when he was a child and sodomized by a high ruler. During the whole ordeal, he defiantly clenched a silver cross. When he became the Voivode of Wallachia, he launched an all-out war on the Turks which devastated both sides. Eventually, his troops were defeated, his people were killed (many by his own hands), and his homeland was set ablaze. Vlad himself was to be executed. However, before he was beheaded, he drank of the blood from the battlefield and became a true vampire. When he accepted the powers of darkness, the silver cross he had always carried with him shattered. Centuries later, in 1897, the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula unfold in the back-story of Hellsing. Abraham Van Helsing, Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris, and Jack Seward (Jonathan Harker, the last member of their group, is left out of the Hellsing version of the story) were able to defeat Count Dracula and killed those who served him.

The Dawn
He was given a new name, Alucard, by Arthur Hellsing. In 1944, Alucard, along with a 14-year-old Walter C. Dornez, is sent on a mission to Warsaw, Poland, to stop Millennium's vampire production program. They presumably destroyed the project, but its main architects escaped. Decades later, in 1969, Alucard was imprisoned in a dungeon in Hellsing manor by Arthur. According to Sir Hugh Irons, Arthur Hellsing came to believe that Alucard was "too powerful a drug to be used as more than the occasional medicine".

Before the Events of Hellsing: Ultimate
Immediately after Arthur’s death, Richard Hellsing, jealous of Integra for inheriting the family headship, attempted to hunt her down and kill her. Integra escaped her traitorous uncle and managed to reach a dungeon in the mansion's sublevels, where her father had said she would find her salvation. Hoping to find a knight, she stumbled across an old, dried-out corpse instead. Richard found her, cornered her, and shot her in her shoulder, spilling her blood across the floor of the room. The corpse, who ended up being a vampire whom Arthur had imprisoned 20 years earlier, awoke and licked up Integra's blood. Rejuvenated, it proceeded to kill her persecutors, thus saving her. Richard desperately attempted to kill Integra one last time, but the vampire blocked his bullet. Picking up a gun, Integra shot and killed her uncle, becoming the last descendent of the Hellsing bloodline. The vampire, whose name was Alucard, became her loyal servant.

Volume 1
Alucard first appears as the Hellsing Organization is called in the investigate happenings in Cheddar.

Meeting Seras Victoria
Here he meets Seras Victoria, one of the police sent in beforehand to handle the situation, as well the target, the Cheddar Priest. Alucard came quickly before Seras was raped and turned into a ghoul by the Priest. He introduces himself to the priest and insults him which made the priest mad. The priest orders his ghoul soldiers to shoot him. Thinking that he's dead, he was surprised when Alucard regenerates and quickly kills his ghoul army. After Alucard points his gun and insults him. The priest, thinking Alucard will not shoot him if he holds the girl hostage, the priest puts Seras between himself and the other vampire's Casull but, after knowing that the Police Girl is a virgin, Alucard shoots him anyway, and the Casull's bullet penetrates through Seras' heart and hits the Cheddar Priest's. After the priest lets go of Seras, Alucard quickly ran straight towards him and impales him with his hand, killing him. He then gives Seras a chance to avoid death and turn into a Vampire, which she accepts. Alucard later on, returns to Integra and introduces her to Seras. Integra, thinking that Seras was just a survivor of the incident, was shocked to hear that she's a vampire. Integra screams at Alucard and Alucard says that he didn't have a choice.

Bermingham Mission


Alucard sets about trying to teach her how to be a true vampire, helping her unlock her bloodlust and tap into her superhuman abilities. Alucard approaches Integra and Integra is feeling nostalgic so she recalls what happens Ten years ago, Seras and Alucard made fun of her and Integra became furious. Integra orders Alucard to eliminate Leif and Jessica on a mission in Bermingham. Alucard shoots the door and introduces himself to Leif, who he quickly eliminates. Jessica however, took the opportunity to run seeing Alucard busy. Not knowing Seras was there, Seras eliminates Jessica with a Sniper.

Badrick and meeting Iscariot's Trump Card for the first time
On a mission in Badrick, Alucard was seen eliminating ghouls upstairs and sits down, drinking medical blood before telling Seras what to do. He is interrupted by Alexander Anderson who impales Seras with multiple bayonets when he tries to teach Seras, and was surprised when he "purifies" the house. When he saw Alexander, he was smiling and after a brief talk, both of them approaches each other, ready for a standoff. Though Alexander was fast enough to impale Alucard with 2 bayonets, Alucard was able to shoot him on his head point-blank range with the Casull. After complimenting Alexander a little, and tries to help Seras. But, Alexander shocks Alucard when he stands up and impales him with 2 bayonets once again. Alucard leaps forward and shoots Alexander, which was powerful enough to send him reeling back. He regenerates again and ran straight towards Alucard, who dodges and keeps shooting at him. Alexander blocks all bullets from the Casull and throws multiple bayonets at Alucard, which shattered windows. Seeing Alucard distracted, Alexander takes the chance and grabs his hans and stabs it with his bayonets. After Alucard is trapped, Alexander shows his healing ability to Alucard. This was when he realizes Alexander is a Human Regenerator. Alexander once again throws multiple bayonets at Alucard's torso before decapitating him. Alexander laughs at went for Seras, who Alucard tells to drink his blood. Integra stops Alexander but Anderson states that he will not back down against a "Protestant whore" and swiftly kills Integra's bodyguards. But before he can kill Integra, Alucard regenerates and engages Alexander again. Alexander manages to cut off Alucard's arms, but Alucard heals so fast that it made Alexander withdraw, who states that he's not ready. After the battle is over, Alucard, Integra and Seras heads back to the Hellsing Organization Manor.

Volume 2
Alucard was sleeping on his chair, and has a dream about the time Abraham Van Helsing defeats him. Alucard woke up and cries blood. After that, Alucard goes into Seras's room, who has Walter in it and calls her an idiot.

The Jackal
Walter then introduces Alucard to his brand new weapon, the Jackal. Alucard holds it for the first time and says that it's perfect. Seras is impressed and stares at the Jackal until Walter introduces Seras too about her new weapon, the Harkonnen. Later, when the Hellsing Organization is assailed by Luke Valentine and Jan Valentine and Alucard hears the noises upstairs. Walter gets a call from Integra and Alucard was excited when he hears that Walter will rescue Integra with Seras, and is finally gonna witness Walter's true identity after decades. Alucard then leaves and patiently waits for Luke Valentine. After Luke swiftly eliminates the Hellsing Personnel that ambushes him, he searches for Alucard and finally founds him. After Luke says if he's hiding or not he will find him, Alucard says that he's not hiding.

Luke Valentine
After Luke introduces himself, Luke pulls out his M1 Garand and before Alucard's wine drops and shatters, both have their weapons on each other's head at point-blank range. The wine shatters and both shoots each other. Alucard's Casull was powerful enough to send him reeling back and Luke's M1 Garand made Alucard get excited. Alucard tries to shoot Luke again but Luke was fast enough to shoot Alucard multiple times before running out of bullets and dodges his Casull. Luke, who's dodging Alucard's Casull states that he will defeat him and become number one and ran straight towards Alucard yet again and says checkmate. After realizing he fell for his trap, Luke leaps and dodges his Casull again, and after Alucard shoots with the Jackal for the first time, Luke was shocked and terrified when it destroys a huge chunk of a wall and seeing Alucard stands up, bleeding and asking for his name again. Alucard compliments him and releases Control Art Restriction to Level One, which shows Luke's true nature, a coward. Luke dodges multiple Baskerville's and screams then runs away. Alucard's arm with the Jackal came out of one of the Baskerville's mouth and shoots his leg. Luke falls and was absolutely terrified of Alucard and Alucard came out of baskerville, telling him to stand up and attack him while holding one of his leg. After Luke calls him a monster, Alucard was disappointed and stares at Luke, furiously. He insults Luke and calls him "Dog food" before Baskerville comes out of Alucard's right arm and devours Luke. Before Alucard walks away, he calls Luke "dog shit".

Meeting the Wild Geese
Alucard was first seen when he meets the Wild Geese once they are hired, walking through a wall, terrifying them in the process and calling them "a pathetic bunch of live-livered cowards".

Second encounter with Alexander Anderson
In the museum, Enrico called Integra a "miserable English sow", only to have his first meeting with Alucard. Alucard threatened to kill Maxwell for insulting her, but Enrico was calm and responds back by calling Anderson. To both's dismay, Alucard and Alexander immediately attempted to duel. Before anything happens, they were stopped when Seras posed as a guide for the museum (possibly because of some agreement with Walter that Alucard would not destroy the museum, since the two smiled at each other after everyone had gone). The two decided that this isn't the right time to fight, and they both leave with Alucard saying that he's tired.

Trip to Rio, Brazil
Later on, Alucard saw Walter and is surprised that he's up late, then asks if Integra's sleeping. Both talked about how they can't believe that it was the Nazi's that did it and both talked about the time that they "killed them all" 50 years ago. Alucard then comments about Walter aging and says that it's a terrible thing, though Walter says that English can enjoy "aging". After that, Walter says that they're gonna sending him to South America as soon as possible. Walter then asks about Seras and why did he turn her into a vampire, to which Alucard replies with "On a whim? No. She chose to of her own free will." and Walter informs him that she's an orphan. Walter has doubts about her drinking blood but Alucard is adamant about it. However, before they can talk about anything else, Seras barges in. Next morning, Integra woke up and sees Alucard in a new outfit, ready to travel. He also decided that Seras will be put in a coffin. Integra comments about his outfit and Alucard says that he can't board a plane looking like that and then expresses his hatred for the sun, though it is not fatal to him. Integra then says that he (Alucard) has only one order, it is to "Search and Destroy". He then heads to Rio with Seras and Pip Bernadotte. Alucard is taking on a new identity called "Mr. J. H. Blenner". Pip, after seeing Alucard uses his hypnosis power, is confused and asks him what did he do. Alucard says he did nothing and says that there's no problem. Alucard, Pip and Seras in a coffin goes to their room and Pip is jealous about how big the room is. Alucard says that Seras is quiet and it's not like her. Alucard sits on his coffin and says that it is his domain and he born and died there. Alucard wakes Seras up and Upon exiting his room, Alucard is attacked by the remaining BOPE members, and he proceeds to sadistically and brutally massacre them. After killing the last SWAT members by impaling them on flagpoles the Dandyman stood in the courtyard outside the hotel just as Alucard knocked the last members of the invading BOPE team through the front doors and onto the flagpoles around the courtyard. After politely introducing himself and declaring his intent to kill Alucard, Tubalcain attacked the Hellsing-aligned vampire with his razor-sharp cards.

The Dandy Man
Initially, Tubalcain kept Alucard on the defensive with trickery and an endless flurry of cards. However, Alucard managed to evade Alhambra's killing strike and take the battle to the roof of the hotel, where the Millennium officer was attacked by Seras' Harkonnen. Although Tubalcain easily deflected the former police girl's gunfire, even cutting one of the Harkonnen's shells in two before it could hit him, the distraction allowed Alucard to release his Control Art Restriction System to Level One and close the distance between himself and Alhambra. After tricking Tubalcain into attacking his shadow familiars, Alucard finally managed to grab the enemy vampire, delivering a powerful kick that severed Alhambra's left leg below the knee. In a last attempt to protect himself, Tubalcain attempted to slash Alucard with a card held between his fingers. In response, Alucard used his own hand to meet the attack, tearing both vampires' arms apart. As Alhambra reeled in pain, Alucard regenerated from his wound and seized the Dandyman's head, explaining that he had been ordered to "thoroughly" interrogate him to learn more about Millennium. Unfortunately for Tubalcain, Alucard's "interrogation" involved drinking his blood and absorbing his soul, thus gaining access to Alhambra's memories and a record of. As Alhambra's remains burn, Pip arrives with a helicopter and escapes with Alucard and Seras.

Volume 4


Alucard and company then set up shop in a small Brazilian town after the fiasco in Rio, from where Alucard calls Integra to report in. He tells her that he is now aware of what Millennium is planning to do, and Integra orders him back to London after a small verbal jab from Alucard. When Seras and Pip return (apparently from buying groceries), they begin to brainstorm how to return to London when Anderson kicks in the door. He and Alucard exchange a few hard punches before drawing weapons. Anderson, however, simply stakes a set of release papers to a wall, explaining that the Vatican will be providing their transport home.

Meeting an old friend and the declaration of War


In London, Alucard and company join a meeting involving the Iscariot and Round Table management, presided over by Queen Elizabeth II herself. After exchanging a tender greeting with the Queen, Alucard reports on Millennium's plan to use their newly bred vampire army to avenge their defeat during WWII. Immediately after this report, Schrödinger appears and sets up a video conference between Integra and The Major. After The Major states his intentions, Alucard tells him it will be a pleasure to destroy Millennium again and blows Schrödinger's head off as per Integra's orders. Sometime later, the Royal Navy receive reports of a Millennium hijacking of an aircraft carrier, the HMS Eagle. Integra, Walter, and Alucard journey to London to devise a way to recapture the ship. After listing and shooting down several possibilities, Walter comes up with the idea to use a modified SR-71 to get Alucard to the Eagle.

Rip Van Winkle
Alucard then uses the plane to fly over the Eagle, well out of weapons range, and then to nosedive straight towards the ship before it can get its engines started. The Nazi soldiers and Millennium first lieutenant Rip Van Winkle attempt to shoot him down, but Alucard simply covers the SR-71 with his own body, keeping it in one piece long enough to crash into the flight deck of the Eagle. As he moves to confront a terrified Rip, the Nazi soldiers attempt to kill him while Rip retreats. Alucard brushes off their attack and butchers the lot of them. He then moves to confront Rip again, who gathers her courage and attempts to blast him into the ocean with her magic bullets. Right on the verge of falling off the ship, Alucard casually catches the bullet in his mouth and shatters it. He then punches Rip, stakes her to a wall with her own gun, and devours her. After consuming Rip, he lets out a maniacal laugh as the Major prepares his troops to attack London.

Volume 5
Despite the strategy of stranding in the ocean (as vampires cannot cross large bodies of water on their own), he manages to use his shadow powers to take control of and sail the stalled ship. Alucard begins his journey back to London on board the Eagle as Millennium burns London, opposed only by an advance force of Iscariot led by Alexander Anderson.

Volume 7
He later communicates telepathically with Seras during the attack on the Hellsing Manor by Millennium forces led by Zorin Blitz, prompting her to learn how to see through Zorin's illusions.

Volume 8


As the Vatican continues to fight the Last Battalion and murder the civilians of London, Alucard, at last, reaches London. Covering his arrival in a city-wide cloud of fog, he leaps from the Eagle (situated on the Thames river), and floats down between the Vatican forces and the Last Battalion, about to engage each other.

The Battle of London


When he lands, both Alexander Anderson and The Captain of Millennium move to confront him, each ignoring the other in favor of killing Alucard. Alucard shouts to Integra to give him an order, and she responds by ordering him to kill every one of Hellsing's enemies. To this end, she orders him to release Level Zero, Alucard's final and most devastating form. Every one of his enemies is overcome by dread as he initiates his release, sensing the horror that is to come, and they all attack him. Anderson and The Captain, seeing their attacks have no effect on Alucard, retreat while the Vatican and Millennium soldiers continue desperately to attack him.

True Identity
Ultimately, they are unable to harm him, and the shadow matter Alucard's body was reduced to during the joint attack on him envelopes his foes like a tidal wave. As the shadow matter spreads throughout the city, human bodies begin to rise out of it, revealing that Level Zero is, in fact, the release of all the souls Alucard has devoured in corporeal form. As the Last Battalion and the Vatican prepare for the onslaught, Alucard takes the form of Vlad III "the Impaler" Dracula, appearing as he did when he first became a vampire. His forces wash over the Last Battalion and the Vatican while Tubalcain Alhambra and Rip Van Winkle, now familiars, destroy the Vatican's air forces. As the one-sided carnage draws to a close, Alucard greets Integra and Seras, acknowledging his pride in Seras for finally becoming a true vampire.

The Final Battle between Alucard and Anderson
The Reunion was short-lived as Alexander ran straight towards Alucard with his Bayonets in the air. Alucard compliments Alexander and Alexander makes a speech before charging against Alucard again. Telling his archenemy to come and kill him if he can, the two engage in a duel, with Alucard in his Vlad Tepes form wielding a broadsword. When Anderson backs off to throw his bayonets at Alucard, Alucard shifts back to his Count-form and draws his guns, introducing Anderson to the Jackal. Anderson charges Alucard again, with Alucard shooting with the Casull, Alexander blocks the Casull's bullets but when Alucard shoots him with the Jackal, Alexander's majority of his left upper arm was blown off. Alexander however, does not give up and still ran straight towards Alucard and slashes him. But, Alucard has summoned his familiars and then leaps behind a swarm of his familiars, out of reach of Anderson, who is then peppered with Alhambra's cards and shot by Rip Van Winkle's bullet. Badly hurt, with the wound in his left arm not regenerating, Anderson pauses to catch his breath while Alucard mocks him with the seemingly impossible odds of actually killing him. Anderson, disregarding these odds, prepares to charge into the horde of familiars, with Alucard looking on approvingly. As Anderson cuts his way to Alucard, Alucard revels in the thought that Anderson might be the human opponent he has been searching for; the one who might actually kill him. Anderson is finally stopped by Alucard's familiars but just as they are about to kill him, he is saved by a group of the remaining Iscariot-priests led by Heinkel Wolfe and Yumie Takagi. These priests engage in suicide bomber tactics to provide a path to Alucard for Anderson, which he utilizes successfully. Anderson then reveals his trump card, Helena's Nail, and prepares to stab himself with it. Horrified, Alucard shouts to him not to do it, telling him that he had enough strength as a man to win and begs him not to make the same mistake that he (Alucard) made. Anderson declines, saying that he does not wish to be a man, but a terrible storm of heartless, tearless piety, and stabs the nail through his own heart. Alucard, beside himself with fury, walks up to Anderson and points the Casull at him, screaming at him for his foolishness, but Anderson cuts off the arm with the Casull and Alucard's head in one motion. His headless body then blows off Anderson's head in return. As the two of them fall back, their bodies catch themselves and start to regrow their lost pieces. Alucard's pieces reappear as their usual shadow matter, but Anderson's head regrows as a half human mass of thorny vines. Alucard then unloads upon Anderson, blowing off numerous chunks of the priest's body, but to no avail. He then shoots a Jackal round at the nail itself, only for the bullet to be stopped in mid-flight by Anderson's vines. Anderson, smiling, then leaps into the air and casts a bayonet at Alucard's head, impaling him and doing the first real damage to ever be dealt to him. Vines erupt from the blade in Alucard's head and set him aflame, burning his horde of familiars (which is just an extension of his form) as well.

Volume 9 and Volume 10
Alucard then has flashbacks concerning his past (possibly his life flashing before him), and relives being sodomized by a Turkish high ruler and losing his war against them. These visions culminate in his decision to become a vampire as he is about to be executed. Fortunately for him however, Seras intervenes and grabs Anderson's blade, preventing the monster of God from cutting Alucard further. She is quickly consumed by the burning vines as well, but holds out, screaming for Alucard to awaken. As she is about to be overcome, Alucard regains his senses and takes hold of the blade as well. He sadly tells Anderson that, as a monster, he cannot win, and proceeds to somehow consume Anderson's vines and shatter his blade. As the vines dissolve, Alucard transforms into his jumpsuit form and charges Anderson. as Integra and Seras watches. He proceeds to charge against Anderson and Alexander tries to stop him by throwing multiple vines at him, but Alucard swiftly slices them with his hand with ease and leaps at Alexander then destroys multiple vines that were thrown to him by Alexander again, before plunging his hand onto Alexander's heart and pulls it out before crushing it, ending Alexander. Instead of gloating or laughing as with his other defeated foes, Alucard is overcome by grief and screams at Anderson for making the same mistake that he did. Anderson quietly laughs however, and says to Alucard "Monsters don't cry. And that's why you became one, isn't it? So you wouldn't have to." This gets Alucard's attention and he gets ahold of himself as Anderson continues with, "When a man's tears dry up forever, they become a monster...so laugh...just as always." Anderson exchanges a few final words with Alucard and then crumbles to dust with a final, "Amen", echoed by Alucard.

Walter, the traitor
The scene of mourning is then interrupted by a rejuvenated Walter descending from the sky onto Anderson's crumbling remains. Walter explains to his former family how he has betrayed Hellsing of his own free will, and Alucard tells him sorrowfully that his old body was far more beautiful than his new, immortal one. As he sadly kneels in Anderson's ashes, Walter shouts at him to stand up and fight. Alucard then asks Integra to reaffirm her kill order which she does, to the delight of not only Alucard but The Major and Walter as well. As Integra and Seras leave to storm the Deus Ex Machina, Alucard and Walter begin their battle. Walter initially seems to have the upper hand since most of Alucard's fighting methods are useless against him. When he is about to use the Jackal against Walter, the pistol is revealed to be made by Millennium as The Doctor uses his remote to destroy it. Alucard then creates a hellhound out of his body, nicknamed "Baskerville" by Walter, who cuts it in half. A disgusted and confused Luke Valentine crawls out of its body, much to the amusement of Alucard. The hound's corpse and Luke are both then hijacked by Walter's wires, and he begins to control them like puppets. As he uses them, however, Walter's wires go slack and he coughs up blood due to his hasty transformation. Alucard then shoots the controlled Luke and dispatches the hound after being bitten in half by it. Walter then re-engages a regenerated Alucard himself, cutting his arms and legs off, slicing his torso in half, and suspending him in the middle of the room with wires. After collapsing and regressing in age, Walter then picks up a piece of re-bar and impales what he believes to be Alucard through the heart with it. In actuality, it was only the body of Luke Valentine disguised as Alucard who, now in the form of a young girl, snappishly punches Walter. This blow causes Walter to revert back to his 14-year-old body, with Alucard theorizing as to the cause of his regression. Alucard then taunts Walter, telling him that he was afraid of becoming old and useless and that his victory over Alucard would just provide a self-esteem boost. Alucard then begins to absorb the blood from the deceased inhabitants of London and the two defeated militaries. Alucard continues to absorb the city's dead as Walter vertically bisects him with his wires, which is as futile as his other attacks. Alucard then grabs Walter, who appears to have given up at this point, contemptuously mocks him and Anderson for their respective failures, and prepares to kill Walter. Unknown to Alucard, Schrödinger commits suicide as Alucard drinks the city's dead, combining his remains into the river of human blood flowing to Alucard. Alucard inadvertently absorbs his soul as he drinks, and when he does, The Major claims that Alucard has lost.

Alucard's defeat
The vampire arrogantly mocks him for saying so, but as he does, he sees the sunrise. As he gazes at it, he recalls that whenever he thought he was about to die, he saw the sunrise in just the same manner. This time, however, for some reason, it seems more beautiful to him than ever before, and he starts to disappear as the Major explains to Integra what is happening. He explains that as long as Schrödinger can recognize himself, he exists everywhere and nowhere; but because he is absorbed by Alucard, he became a part of Alucard and was thus no longer a separate entity that could recognize itself. Thus, Alucard, now containing Schrödinger, can no longer stay in phase with the rest of reality and is becoming "a set of imaginary numbers", existing on some level but not in reality. Integra shouts an order at Alucard not to disappear, but as his numerous eyes continue to close, he tells Integra that there is nothing he can do, and bids her farewell as he closes his final two eyes. All that is left is a bloodstained Hellsing pentagram in one of the cobblestones in the street.

Aftermath
After Alucard's death, Integra was saddened and argues with Major if he or Alucard is a monster. After the battle of London is over, Integra was revealed being saddened, not only Alucard, but Walter too. Seras assures Integra that Alucard will come back. Alucard re-appears in Integra's bedroom after a 30-year absence. He approaches a sleeping Integra and leans down, apparently with the intention of biting her. Before he can do so, however, Integra wakes up and unloads a handgun into him, knocking him to the floor. The commotion alerts Seras, who kicks open the bedroom door and turns on the lights. The two women find themselves staring at Alucard, who is sitting up against the wall regenerating. Integra, now as an old woman, asks him to explain what he was doing this whole time, and he tells her that he was killing his own lives except for one so that he could exist with Schrödinger's powers. She asks him if he is hungry, to which he responds that, after 30 years of not eating anything, of course he is. When Integra regretfully comments on how old she is now, Alucard simply tells her that it is fine with him. She then smiles, bites her finger, and gives him a drop of blood as Alucard, having finally earned his right to immortality, licks. Alucard's eyes seem to have changed slightly due to possessing only a single soul.
