Incognito

"Sett will enter me and together we shall send this cursed town crashing down to hell."

- Incognito

Incognito (インコグニート) is a powerful vampire from the dark continent, Africa, and is responsible for the creation of the FREAK Chip that creates impure vampires. He acts as the main antagonist of the Hellsing anime series and is a deadly adversary of Alucard.

Physical
Incognito has a Purple-ish grey skin. He has a Green eye on his right eye, and a red eye on his left. He has no hair and in some sketches of him, his left arm is longer than his right arm.

Clothing


He wears a piercing on his chin, forehead, the top of his head and his gynecomastia. He wears an earring on his left ear. He has a purple tattoo all over his body, and a red that looks like a third eye on his forehead, Interestingly, he wears another piercing on his forehead in his first appearance which is shaped like a triangle, combining it with the red tattoo on the middle of his forehead, it looks like the Illuminati. He wears a gold necklace and golden cuffs on both of his arm, and he sometimes dons a beige coat. In his first appearance, he wears a white and a pink framed sunglasses, with green a green tie and a white shirt, but he stopped using them for an unknown reason.

Personality
His overall personality appears to be very similar to that of the Major in the Manga. In that his only reason for doing the things that he does is to hurt as many innocent people as possible and displays little to no guilt or shame for any of the horrible actions he or his allies commits.Incognito is both sadistic and masochistic. In one scene he says that he lives for nothing but destruction and in another, after being wounded by Alucard, exclaims about his love of pain.

Though he claimed to be loyal to his god, Incognito in truth, had no intention of ever letting Sett take over and was instead planning to betray the deity and steal its powers for himself, showing that he was incredibly ambitious and power hungry almost to the point of arrogance.

His ambitions proved so great that it led to him murdering Helena after he feared that she might cause problems for him in the future suggesting that he might've had a paranoid side to him. Ironically it was these character flaws that would lead to him being defeated and his plans thwarted before they even began.

Order 08 and Order 09
Incognito first appeared when Alucard sensed his presence when he arrived in England. He eventually occupied a castle and performed a ritual on an unidentified man. Incognito began operations within the castle, causing the Hellsing Organization to investigate. Under orders to apprehend supposed IRA terrorists, the SAS 22nd Regiment ordered Hellsing to stand aside. It is uncertain, but possible, that Incognito deliberately leaked information to the SAS about the possible terrorists both to delay Hellsing and to provide himself with troops as the entire SAS unit were later turned into FREAKS. Despite Hellsing's withdrawal, Alucard continued to investigate and came face to face with Incognito for the first time. The two exchanged greetings of a sort, establishing that they were both original vampires armed with human weapons and were prepared to engage one another. Incognito then told Alucard that they are different, and Alucard doesn't have a master to serve anymore. Incognito then shoots Alucard with his Grenade Launcher and The spines goes through Alucard's chest and Incognito had ordered the Baobhan Sith (pronounced baa'-van shee), Laura, to turn Integra into a ghoul. Alucard was quick to return to Integra's side and eliminated Laura. With Alucard otherwise occupied, Incognito completed his efforts to transform the 22nd Regiment of the SAS into FREAKs and then orders them to attack Cambridge and Trafalgar Square.

Order 11, Order 12 and Order 13
Aware of the potential threat that Helena could pose to his plans, Incognito attacked and devoured her. Despite Incognito's power, Helena was able to force her way partly free of Incognito's body and provide information to Seras Victoria before being beheaded and killed. Aware of the trap at the Tower of London, Incognito then decided to turn the tables on the Hellsing forces by causing a fierce battle against each other which has drawn the attention of the British army and thus framing the Hellsing Organization as terrorists. Multiple Hellsing Soldiers died because of him and Alucard sensed something was very wrong, thus leaving Integra to pursue Incognito. Alucard and a Hellsing Member, Chris Pickman formed a duo and killed multiple Incognito's SAS Ghouls, shortly before Seras Victoria, who witnessed Peter Fargason's death and in a fit of rage comes in with the Harkonnen and kills multiple SAS Ghouls as well, including Paul Wilson who she killed with one of Harkonnen's bullet by slamming it on him mouth. Alucard, after being forced to shoot Chris enters the Tower of London to confront Incognito, who was waiting for him. Both of them get's ready with Incognito pulling out his Grenade Launcher and releases his Dark Magic powers and Alucard pulling out the Jackal and releasing Level 2. Incognito shoots at Alucard but Alucard dodges it and shoots back with the Jackal which blows Incognito's shoulder. Incognito however, encourages Alucard to attack him and manages to scars Alucard's cheek. Incognito was caught off-guard when Alucard instantly ran towards him after getting scarred. He then shoots Incognito's head and thought that he won, until he realizes that Incognito tricked him. Incognito has planned this from the very beginning and Alucard calls him "cunning". Incognito taunts Alucard and gets up while slashing Alucard, who couldn't move, 3 times. Alucard saw Seras with the Jackal's ammo, and tells her to run. Seras however, disobeys him and ends up getting heavily injured by Incognito's dark magic. Incognito laughs and taunts Alucard, Alucard responds back angrily that he will send him to the bottom of Judecca, saying that he should lick Satan's ass down there. He uses his telekinesis power to grab the Jackal's magazine. He pulls the trigger at Incognito's head once again, but, Incognito simply phased his head becoming temporarily invulnerable, Incognito proceeds to telekinetically hurled the Jackal's bullets back at Alucard, giving him a "taste of his own blessed silver". As Alucard dies, he tells Seras that she should've listened to him. Seras tries to drink Alucard's blood and Incognito tells Seras that it won't do anything by drinking his blood.

He then kidnaps Integra and prepares for a ritual to summon Sett, and was successful. Though Integra already told Alucard to release Level 1, his most powerful form. Alucard uses the blood of the fallen Hellsing Soldiers to heal and then teleports behind Incognito and proceeds to taunt him. An annoyed and angry Incognito then commands Sett to strike Alucard, Alucard dodges Sett, and is immediately impressed by Incognito complimenting his powers. Incognito curses Alucard after he holds Sett's mouth and taunts Incognito while Sett is blasting him. Incognito sees an eye and then 2 Baskerville heads coming out of Alucard and proceeds to attack Baskerville, causing a huge explosion that sends them both to the sky.

Alucard and Incognito battles in the sky. Alucard's Baskerville bites onto Sett, Sett tries blasts Alucard, Alucard blocks Sett's blasts using Baskerville's head, then Sett and Baskerville clashes with each other which made them both fall. Alucard and Incognito impacted a cathedral after their fall from the sky, their collision lit up the entire building on fire from the inside. They both recover, and is ready for a standoff and Incognito claims that he will never be able to destroy him and says that he wishes to have eternal pain, to which, Alucard says that he has a disgusting hobby, and that he will send Incognito to a world that only exists in pain. Incognito pulls out the Grenade launcher out of his arm and proceeds to vomit a set of dark magic spines into the cartridge assembly of the gun. Incognito shoots Alucard with his Grenade launcher while running straight towards him. Alucard dodges the dark magic spines from the Grenade Launcher and runs straight towards him with the Jackal. They both got a huge chunk of their torso blown off and Alucard's Jackal is broken. Incognito taunts Alucard after healing the massive hole in his torso but Incognito was terrified when he realizes Sett has merge with Alucard and his hair begins to glow hot and holds onto a cross with silver and then pouring it on his broken Jackal which he later uses to impale Incognito. Before Incognito dies, he asks Alucard for his identity. Alucard shows his true face briefly. and impales Incognito once again, killing Incognito.

His unnamed Master
It's not really stated as to what kind of relationship this individual had with Incognito. But given that Incognito often seemed to do as he pleased (it was never confirmed which actions were ordered and which weren't) it's possible that Incognito, unlike Alucard to his master Integra, was not completely under this person's control.

Laura
Laura was a true vampire like Incognito, Seras, Helena, and Alucard that served Incognito and made an attempt on Integra's life both for revenge and under orders.

Paul Wilson
Paul was a newly turned freak and while appearing only for a short amount of time acted as a right hand to Incognito. Although Incognito and Paul never interacted in any Episodes of the Hellsing Anime, it can be assumed that he's loyal to him.

The Valentine Brothers
Luke Valentine and Jan Valentine were minor characters that never interacted with Incognito directly or at least not on screen but attacked The Hellsing Mansion on his request.

Alucard
Incognito is a deadly adversary for Alucard, the two greatly hates eachother.

Although Alucard respects him a little and praises him for his powers, the two still hated each other so much due to Incognito's personality. Incognito is both sadistic and masochistic. In one scene he says that he lives for nothing but destruction and in another, after being wounded by Alucard, exclaims about his love of pain, which Alucard replies that he has a disgusting taste, though Alucard was willing to show his real Identity to Incognito.

Overview
Like Alucard, Incognito is an original and ancient vampire. He is a master of dark magic and a cunning opponent.

Abilities and Strength:

 * Superhuman Strength: Incognito was seen easily slicing Helena's head, who was trying to escape.
 * Superhuman Endurance: Like Alucard, Incognito has been shot a lot of times even by the face a couple of times by Seras's gun, but he instead smiles.
 * Regeneration: Like all vampires, Incognito has the ability to regenerate from his wounds. Such as; Shot by Seras in the face multiple times with a pistol, regenerates and later regenerates his torso after Helena tries to escape and was forced to slice her head including some of his tummy.
 * Immortality: Like Alucard, Incognito is biologically immortal. It is unknown if he was the first vampire to ever exists or Alucard, but we do know that he is at least hundreds years old.
 * Teleportation: It is not clear if he uses his teleportation power to appear in England or he even has this power, but it is assumed that he has some sort of teleportation power as it is impossible to go there without some kind of transportation.

Overview
His dark magic, represented by the glowing sigils covering his body, allows him to withstand what would otherwise be a killing shot from the Casull or Jackal.

Enhanced Abilities and new Abilities:

 * Enhanced Endurance: During Alucard and Incognito's first battle before Alucard's revival, his shoulder was blown off by Alucard's Jackal and again in Episode 13 where the right side of his torso was blown off but he laughs it off and remember, the Jackal's bullet is made out of blessed Silver.
 * Enhanced Regeneration: His regeneration abilities seems to be on-par with Alucard's, but if he combines this with his Dark Magic, it is faster than before. This is shown when Incognito heals quickly from Alucard's Jackal couple of times in both Episode 12 and 13.
 * Body Phasing: When Alucard fired a bullet at point blank range at Incognito's eye, Incognito simply phased his head becoming temporarily invulnerable.
 * Telekinesis: Incognito telekinetically hurled the Jackal's bullets back at Alucard, giving him a "taste of his own blessed silver" in response after Alucard tries to shoot him again with the Jackal.
 * Gravity defiance: Both Alucard and Incognito was seen staying up in the sky after being sent up in the sky by a huge explosion caused by Sett and Baskerville.

ArmsCor 40mm grenade launcher
The grenade launcher's cartridges are filled with powerful dark magic spines. When the launcher is fired, the cartridge shatters, launching the spines. What effect these have on a human target is never shown in the anime, though they appear to be very powerful, as Alucard has noted. When reloading is required, Incognito vomits a set of dark magic spines into the cartridge assembly of the gun. Incognito also possesses regenerative abilities that may actually exceed those of Alucard, as Incognito was able to shrug off the effects of both the Jackal and the Casull. Incognito was shown multiple times pulling this out of his skin, the reason why is unknown.
 * Length: 792 mm (31.18 inch)
 * Barrel length: 191 mm (7.5 in) 305 mm (12 in) 356 mm (14 in) 470 mm (18.5 in)
 * Action: Rotating cylinder

Ammunition
The Multiple Grenade Launcher's cartridges are filled with powerful, red, helical spines which are powered with dark magic and resemble DNA chains. When the launcher is fired, the cartridge shatters, launching the spines in a manner similar to a shotgun. While the effect these have on a human target is never shown in the Anime, they appear to be powerful enough to be of note to Alucard. When reloading is required, Incognito vomits green slime, which congeals into a set of dark magic spins into the cartridge assembly of the gun.



M134 Minigun and a Browning M2
in Hellsing Order 10 :"Master of Monster", Incognito is shown wielding a minigun and what seems to be a M2 Browning heavy machine gun, though it was never seen or used again. The reason is not clear, it is speculated that they either run out of budget or it would be too difficult for him using 3 Guns.

M1234 Minigun

 * Length: 801.6 mm
 * Barrel Length: 558.8 mm
 * Caliber: 7.62 mm (0.308 in)
 * Cartridge: 7.62×51mm NATO

Browning M2

 * Length: 1,654 mm (65.1 in)
 * Barrel Length: 1,143 mm (45.0 in)
 * Cartridge: .50 BMG

FREAK Chip
The Freak Chip was created by Incognito and Incognito's Master. The chips empower the user to become vampires, in that they will never be fatigued as they have high stamina. In some cases it can revert the aging process and give the user special abilities like transforming into unsightly wingless bat-creatures or telepathy. The chip has been used to transform characters like Paul Wilson, Luke Valentine and Jan into false vampires. A large amount of chips loaded into a person could create an undead of greater power, though it would still be ultimately weaker than a true vampire, or even a true undead fledgling.

Identity
Though his true identity is unknown, It has also been argued that, while Alucard is inspired by Count Dracula, Incognito may have been inspired by, or be, the vampire Count Orlok, from the 1922 silent movie Nosferatu due to a few similarities.

But, what we do know that his origins is from the "dark continent", Africa. He was both responsible for the creation of the FREAK chips which creates impure vampires, and the summoning of the Wicked God, "Sett".

Trivia

 * It can be argued that Incognito is an indirect reference to The Major and serves as a stand in for him in the anime series. Incognito claims to have been born for no purpose save to bring ruin and destruction to all while the Major says his only goal is to ignite a grand war.
 * His appearance is very similar to Zorin Blitz, as they both have one distorted eye, and markings on the side of their faces and bodies.
 * He is the only character, aside from Alexander Anderson, to come close to killing Alucard in battle.
 * He is the only character other than Alucard in either series' to kill a true vampire.
 * He is mainly superior to Alucard before he activated his level 1 form.
 * Incognito's appearance also bears resemblance to the reptile-like vampires from Robert Rodriguez's movie, From Dusk till Dawn.
 * Since vampires turn to dust when they die, it is possible that Incognito managed to live a bit longer after Alucard impaled him because he did not turn to dust.
