Mina Harker

Wilhelmina "Mina" Harker (née Murray) is the main protagonist in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and an important member of Millennium in Hellsing. Strictly speaking however, she is not a member of Millennium, as she is simply just being used by them. She first appears in Chapter 1 of The Dawn as a contorted figure wrapped in bandages and chained to a wall. She appears again in Chapter 2, in which the Doctor describes her as "perfect" and "horrible". He cannot believe that she exists, even after studying her. The Major refers to her as "our beginning and our end" and says that "once before, sanity and insanity fought over her," that "they trampled her underfoot," and that "she is just what is left over". It is assumed that "She" is the original vampire upon which all of Millennium's artificial vampires were based. In Hellsing, Chapter 93, Sorcerian 2, the Doctor stands before a door marked "No. Anfang" (German for "beginning") and "THE SHI". It is implied that he is trying to release her, but doesn't know how to do so. It is revealed in Chapter 94, "Oblivion", that she is Mina Harker's corpse. Because Dracula (later Alucard) did not die once he was defeated, the curse was still active in her, which the Doctor exploited to create Millenium's vampires. However, since Mina hadn't absorbed anyone's blood and soul, she couldn't have been considered as a true vampire. Therefore, the Doctor couldn't really make vampires which are on par with Alucard, but ones which are just the 'bootleg-copies' of him (as stated by Walter).
