- Integra Hellsing

Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing (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.

Personality
The TV series changed numerous traits of Integra's personality. She is much colder, more serious and arrogant than her manga counterpart. She’s less likely to lose control and has a low tolerance to forgive failure. Her family honor matters her a great deal, probably even above her sense of duty. Her growing relationships with Sir Penwood and Seras Victoria are removed. Her struggle to become a better leader and to face a war a grand scale as the sole human in the front is removed, since that part of the storyline is absent from the TV series. It is assumed that she is already experienced as the leader of Hellsing; instead she struggles with a ploy to destroy her Organization and the temptation to drink Alucard’s blood to become stronger.

Her rendition in the OVA is much closer to the original manga version, but portions of her lines and appearances have been removed. The most notable deviation is her first reaction to Seras Victoria. In both the TV series and the manga, Integra is first outraged at Alucard's actions in turning a vampire, then eventually comes to accept her; in the OVA, Integra welcomes Seras at the very beginning (the OVA skipped the part where Alucard told Integra about Seras). However, in the anime she was still harsh to Seras and barely opened up to her when she stood by her side while Alucard was fighting Incognito.

Appearance
Integra has creamy brown skin, blue eyes and long blonde hair (her hair is slightly curly in the manga and has bangs also). She has a tall, thin build. Integra's attire consists of a green blazer and green dress pants, a white buttoned shirt, black shoes and a blue cravat.

She also wears a pair of circular wire-rimmed glasses, and is often seen sporting a dark grey trench coat,orange belts that holds a sword, when venturing outside her manor.

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 (Order 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.

Order 01: The Undead
Integra was shown in a Vehicle, Alucard approaches her after a mission. She was seen again talking about the Cheddar Priest, as Integra peeks out the window, she says that her organization already deployed an assistance to Cheddar Village. A police asked her how many agents she sent, she replies back with "One". She was again seen in a helicopter, on the way to Cheddar Village. She was then seen again waiting for Alucard. As Alucard began approaching her, she saw him carrying a girl, much to her annoyance. Integra says that she will have someone take care of her. Alucard replies back, saying that he wants her to transfer her into the Hellsing Organization. Integra then leaves with the Helicopter.

Order 09: Red Rose Vertigo
Integra prepares to start a raid of subjugating freaks on a castle known as "Bobhan" foreshadowing the next event. at the moment Integra exits the helicopter we are shown the POV of Incognito. Later on the raid was unfortunately interrupted SAS thus forced to withdraw their troops, cutting into the next scene of Integra returning back to the Hellsing HQ this is where Laura is shown to be her little sister stated by Walter. Integra and Laura are shown to have conversation following that but Integra contemplates about Laura even being a part of their family cutting to her having a nightmare about the past. Laura having appeared out of no where undresses Integra and Laura is later on revealed to be not even Integra's sister but a Vampire Assassin sent to kill her. as she tortures Integra, Integra explains a backstory tempting Laura to shove a knife into Integras abdomen to keep her shut while trying to turn Integra to a ghoul, Alucard arrives not much shortly saving integra while that happened Integra stood up to grab the knife stabbing herself in the neck nullifying the effects of turning into a ghoul.

Skills
Her aim with a pistol is almost superhumanly accurate. The anime displays her skill in Order 02: 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.

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, rheviving him.

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.

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.

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.

Trivia

 * Integra normally smokes a fictional brand of small cigars (either cigarillos or possibly panatelas) called 'Hendi Winzermans small cigars'. The name and the packaging design (especially when seen in the first Order of the TV series) indicate that they are a play on the real cigar brand Henri Wintermans. In fact, the similarity of the spelling may even indicate that it was simply a spelling mistake.
 * Integra's virginity is remarked in the TV series (Incognito calls her the "Sacred Virgin of the Royal Protestant Knights Order" in episode 13) and the manga and OVA (she tells Seras after offering her her blood that it is "100% virgin"). In the anime, it hold ties with a sacrifice of a satanic ritual.
 * In the first colored picture of Integra featured on the back cover of the first volume of the manga, her cravat is neither blue nor red, but gold. Integra also appears in several Young King Ours covers and on the cover of Volumes 3 and 6, along with Alucard. Here, her ascot is red.
 * She is an expert in pistol shot and fencing.
 * Integra's middle initials (F. W.) may be a reference to the creator of the film Nosferatu, F. W. Murnau.
 * Integra's prototype was featured Kouta's old manga Hi and Low along with Yumiko Takagi.
 * There is artwork of Integra and Alucard where his arm is around her shoulders and his hand is down to her side. The fingers are positioned awkwardly, leading some to believe that Alucard was groping Integra's breast. However, the position and anatomy of her body suggests that he isn't groping anything and his hand is positioned over her ribs, not her chest.
 * Victoria Harwood, the English voice actress for Integra, has stated in the "Participating in a Legend" featurette that while she feels Integra "has the hots for Alucard," and speculates that there may have been a sexual history between them off-screen, though there is nothing in the story to verify this position.
 * In the 10th episode of the TV series, it is shown that Integra has type A blood.
