Sir Integral Wingates Hellsing (anime)

"I'm surrounded by idiots."

- Integra Hellsing

Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing (インテグラル・ファルブルケ・ヘルシング 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
She is a cold, 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. she struggles with the temptation to drink Alucard’s blood to become stronger. Integra is fearless, has been since she was a child, and has carried this trait with her into adulthood. Though not as overt as Alucard, there is an intimidating and domineering air about her; Alucard was intimidated and bowed to her because of her bravery, and says that she is "that man" (referring to Arthur, her dad.)

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.

Physical
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 standing at approximately 6'1" with normal shoulders.

Clothing
Integra's attire consists of a green blazer and green dress pants, a green buttoned shirt, black shoes and a blue cravat. She also wears a pair of circular wire-rimmed glasses. She wears combat green shirt with dark grey trench coat and a blue cravat, orange belts that holds a sword, green cargo pants and a dark grey boots with white gloves. She wears a white dress shirt, a circular glasses with red cravat, a blue skirt and a dark pinkish purple booties. She wears the same outfit as her main one, but added with a beige cloak with brown stripes. She wears the same outfit as her main one, albeit a little darker. She now wears a Veil, feather hat.

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.

Before the Events of Hellsing: Impure Souls
Born into the prestigious and mysterious Hellsing family, Integra has been sheltered and educated all her life to take the place of her father as Bureau Director of the Hellsing Organization. Integra's Mother does not appear in her flashbacks, suggesting either that Integra never met the woman or that she died when Integra was very young. When she was 12 years old, Integra's father passed away and entrusted her with their family's mission to lead the Royal Protestant Knights and protect England against the vampires. 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.

Richard and his men were confused, but thought it was just a corpse and nothing else. Richard points his gun at Integra, ready to shoot her until he heard something that sounded like someone licking a blood. Richard was horrified when he sees that the corpse, who ended up being a vampire whom Arthur had imprisoned 20 years earlier, awoke and licked up Integra's blood and frees itself from the straightjacket he was Imprisoned with, thus saving Integra in the process. It then slices another one of Richard's men's head with ease, he drinks the blood in hunger, and went straight to the terrified men of Richard, he kills all of them and slices Richard's arms, then shifting it's attention from Richard to Integra when he saw her. The vampire explained that her blood was the first blood he has ever tasted, in over 20 years. Integra shoots the vampire, the vampire laughs it off. After seeing Integra disobey him and her bravery, he was impressed and was interrupted by Richard who 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.

Later on, Integra and the Round Table' s members meet and talks until The Valentine Brothers, Luke and Jan with their Ghoul Army, launched a sneak attack which traps them all in that room. Integra was calm during the situation but because of Penwood, Integra quickly lost patience. Integra then calls Fargason but Jan already attacked the room and killed the Security, luckily, Seras saved Fargason. Luckily, all of them were saved by Seras and Walter who ambushed Jan's ghoul army.

He tells Integra that Hellsing and the vampires are the same, and calls Integra and English sow, only to have his first meeting with Alucard.

She then goes back to her room and Walter tells her about all the civilians that were murdered by Ghouls and knowing that Paul Wilson, a former SAS member has become a FREAK, Walter suggest for a Round Table meeting, Integra disagrees and says that The Queen has a plan. She then goes to the basement and meets with Alucard, who immediately asks Integra if she wants to mix her blood with his. Integra tells him to read her mind. Alucard responds back by saying that he wants to hear her saying it, they both then switches the topic. Talking about the ceremony.

Order 12: Total Destruction

A confused Integra runs back to the Hellsing Organization with Walter, and slams her desk in shock and anger. Integra, who was worried tells Walter to call Fargason, however Fargason doesn't answer and tries to talk with the British Military and it only resulted to his death to Integra's dismay.

After hearing that the Queen is praying for the Hellsing Organization, she gets motivated and orders Walter to get on a Helicopter.

Order 13: Hellfire
Integra and Walter are being chased by the British Army in a helicopter. They quickly asks them both to surrender, but, Walter after getting fired by the Helicopters that are following them, instead risked his life and saves Integra from a crashing helicopter after promising that he will protect her even if it costs his life. Integra lands safely and is terrified, and saddened after Walter's hands bleed and the Helicopter explodes. This was interrupted by Incognito, who has defeated Alucard. Incognito prepares for a ritual to summon Sett, but Integra commands Alucard to release Level 1. Alucard uses the blood of the fallen Hellsing soldiers to revive. The two then quickly have a rematch, and Seras was quick to rescue Integra and assures her that Alucard will win.

Aftermath
As expected Alucard won, and then we see that the master of Incognito was one of the Round Tables member. The traitor was dealt with and the scene cuts to a cuffed Integra with Alucard. Alucard breaks a glass of wine which made his hand bleed, and gives Integra a choice if she wants to drink his blood to become a vampire.

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, reviving him.

Walther PPK

 * Caliber: .32 ACP
 * Total Length: 155 mm (6.1 in)
 * Weight: 23.7 oz
 * Magazine: 7+1 magazine capacity

Arthur Hellsing
in the episode Master of Monster. The episode shows that Integra was very close to her father and that the memory of his death still moves her to tears. Her father is shown as both an affectionate parent and a mentor figure. Through his teachings, Integra learns of the true purpose of the Hellsing Organization in their war against the vampires and also learns what the vampires are capable of. On his deathbed, Arthur names Integra the new head of the Hellsing family. He touches her face and tells her before he dies, "Remember Integra, be glorious." Before his death, it is discovered that Arthur entrusted Integra with Alucard's location in the dungeons (something that he did not tell his own brother) in case she ever needed protection. Because of her close connection with her father, Integra takes great pride in her family and the organization that her family has built.

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.
