Walter C. Dornez/Anime

"I highly recommend pissing yourself followed by a course of praying to your impotent god."

- Walter c. Dornez

Walter C. Dornez (ウォルター・C（クム）・ドルネーズ, Worutā C. (Kumu) Dorunēzu) is a 69 year old retired member of the Hellsing organization. Though now serving as Integra Hellsing's butler, he has still proved to live up to his nickname "The Angel of Death" with deadly razor sharp wires. He has a close friendship with both Integra and Alucard. He is a former active duty member of the Hellsing Organization, and is employed as the family's retainer.

Appearance
Walter is a tall, standing at approximately 6'3", thin man with a medium skin who wears green-ish blue dress pants, a white dress shirt with a red tie, and a purple vest. He also wears white gloves, and tends to keep his hair long in a tightly bound ponytail. His eyes are blue, and he wears a monocle which rests on his nose bridge.

Personality
Walter serves primarily as Integra's butler and also makes special weapons for use by vampires, Alucard and Seras Victoria. In his old age, he has become the perfect model of an English butler; polite, diligent, brooding, dutiful, and intelligent with a dry, ironic sense of humor and a merciless disposition toward the enemies of his master. He appears to have mellowed out a great deal externally, cutting apart his enemies with a cold precision rather than with the glee of his younger self, and delivering only ironic and dignified insults instead of simply swearing up a storm.

Alucard
Alucard and Walter are very close, they look like brothers and Alucard loves Walter's guns. Walter seems to respect him, when Alucard releases Level 1, Walter dubs Alucard "Alucard, the True Immortal". When Walter plans to go to the third floor to secure Integra, Alucard was excited to see him in action again.

Seras Victoria
Walter was highly respected by Seras and was also her mentor as an elder. Walter often cared for and encouraged Seras as the butler of the Hellsing family.

Sir Integra
Walter C. Dornez, is the Hellsing family's butler and a retired vampire hunter. He has always been a dear friend and trustworthy figure for her, acting as an advisor, protector, and occasionally emotional support. Having cared for her since she was a small child, Walter is clearly protective of his employer but does not overstep his boundaries.

Walter highly respects Integra and is willing to do anything for her, this is seen in Episode 12 when Walter is preparing his Wires to fightback to protect her, even if it costs him his own life. He did risks his own life and saves Integra from crashing, although it doesn't kill Walter, it could've been really fatal. And in Episode 11 where he looks for her immediately after the Hellsing Organization fell into Incognito's trap.

While Alucard may have been Hellsing's crown glory, Walter could very well be considered her second best soldier before Seras Victoria agrees to drink blood. It is Walter and Seras who defeat Jan Valentine and his ghouls during the attack on the Hellsing manor, and despite his old age, Walter is still a cunning and dangerous soldier.

Jan Valentine
Jan clearly hates Walter, as he keeps insulting him and won't give him any answers even when he's trapped.

Microfilament Wires
Walter's primary weapons are a set of very long razor wires, which he controls as if they were extensions of his own body. The wires are sharp enough to slice through steel and concrete with no trouble, he can use them to bind and restrain targets without damaging them. He can move objects without damaging them, being able to land Integra safely from a crashing Helicopter on Episode 13. He is also able to hold several of the wires between his teeth without any damage to himself. The wires themselves can be used to attack from virtually any angle, and seem to hover around Walter himself in an omnidirectional manner during combat. He is able to cause drastic shifts in their positions with extremely small movements, and even manipulate them without any apparent movement at all. The wires move much more quickly than even Walter himself does, and are extremely hard to see.

Name
Walter's middle initial, C., is pronounced in full in the OVA series as "クム" (kumu). "クム" also accompanies the "C" as furigana in chapter 74, Relics. This is the Japanese translation of the Latin word cum, meaning "with". There is some dispute over the correct romanization of his surname, with the most common variants being Dorne, Dornez, Dornes, Dolnez, and Dollneaz. The back cover of the original Japanese version of Volume 4 in which Walter's name is written with an added "D" and "Z" as "Walter Cum Ddollneazz". The American release of manga Volume 2 by Dark Horse finally reveals the correct spelling of his name as "Dornez".
