Quincey Morris

Quincey Morris (クインシー・モリス) (also known as Quincy, however, his actual name is Quincey; as written in the Novel's description) is a major character from the original novel, which Hellsing was inspired by, Dracula by Bram Stoker. In Hellsing, he was mentioned in Hellsing: Volume 8 in the manga, and Hellsing: Ultimate VIII in the OVA.

Appearance
Quincey's shown to be a young man with a big and long blonde hair, and uses a what seems like to be a grey cowboy hat. His also shown to be quite fit, and almost as tall, if not taller than Abraham Van Helsing. He wears a large, grey coat with cape with a white lining and large white cuffs.

Personality
While he only made a brief appearance in Hellsing, in the novel Quincey's character is obviously more explored, as he is one of the main characters there; Quincey values "honesty and pluck" above almost anything. He's straightforward and never says anything he doesn't mean. He takes what people say to him at face value and accepts even the strangest things (like the existence of vampires) with remarkable calm. Lucy Westenra says that he "is really well educated and has exquisite manners" (5.7), even though he can be super funny. He only uses American slang when no uptight English people are around to be shocked and horrified by his language.

When Lucy rejects his proposal, he tells her that her "honesty and pluck have made [him] a friend, and that's rarer than a lover; it's more unselfish anyhow".

Novel Description
"An unsuccessful suitor of Lucy, like Seward, and like Seward a firm friend to Lucy after she has turned him down, Quincey P. Morris is a rich American, rough and ready but true, Quincey pays for the many expenses of fighting Dracula, and ultimately loses his life in the final battle. In his honour, Jonathan and Mina name their first son Quincey."

Dracula
Quincey is a rich young American from Texas, and one of the three men who propose to Lucy Westenra. Quincey is friends with her other two suitors, Arthur Holmwood and Dr. John Seward, even after Lucy has chosen Arthur, as well as Jonathan Harker who is to be married to Lucy's best friend Mina Harker. He carries a Bowie knife at all times, and at one point he admits that he is a teller of tall tales and "a rough fellow, who hasn't perhaps lived as a man should". Quincey is the last person to donate his blood to Lucy before her death. In chapter 12, he mentions that he was forced to shoot his horse while in the Pampas after vampire bats drank it dry during the night.

Hellsing
The group managed to track down the Count back to Transylvania and there, Abraham Van Helsing and his men, after an intense battle between Dracula and them - Quincey sacrificed his life by running right straight towards Dracula, and plunging a stake through his heart; weakening him severely at the cost of his demise at the hands of the Count himself, and he died; wielding a revolver. His sacrifice however, was not in-vain; Dracula was defeated and everything comes back to normal and in honor, Jonathan Harker and Mina Harker names their son after Quincey himself.

Later, in 1999, he was mentioned by Dracula (Now Alucard) during his fight with Alexander Anderson.
