List of Characters in Crossfire

Throughout the entirety of the Crossfire short story, there are many characters that later does not re-appear in Hellsing, however, some does; like Yumiko Takagi and Heinkel Wolfe for example. It's also an episodic series, and every chapter has a different villain that never appears again, or mentioned. Here are the full list of Crossfire characters, including the protagonists.

Main Characters

 * Heinkel Wolfe (ハインケル・ウーフー,)
 * The unofficial leader of the duo, Heinkel Wolfe is often the lead attacker. Technically, Wolfe is a nun, but she dresses in the manner of a priest, but acts neither like a woman nor a man. She can be calm and level-headed, although still a fanatical Catholic. Her main weapon is a modified .50 caliber Desert Eagle automatic pistol.


 * Yumie Takagi (高木 由美江,) / Yumiko Takagi (高木 由美子,)
 * Yumiko Takagi is Wolfe's partner, although from first glance, it is hard to imagine this gentle, violence-hating Japanese girl would be part of a Catholic hunter organization. However, Yumiko has a split-personality. Her other personality, Yumie, is an ultra-violent katana-wielding killer whose devotion to the Catholic church approaches that of zealotry. As for the style of swordcraft Yumie practices, it is referred to as tougen battou jai ryuu, a disciple which the sword is rapidly drawn from its scabbard, often at a speed too fast for opponents to react. But how Yumie learned this while being part of Yumiko is unknown.


 * The two personalities are easy to point out: Yumiko wears eyeglasses, while Yumie does not. Yumiko is also aware of Yumie's presence, but she would like to see Yumie "sleep" instead of waking her... because of the violence she can cause.

Side Characters

 * Enrico Maxwell (エンリコ・マクスウェル,)
 * A hot-headed, yet cunning and confident man; Maxwell is the commander of Yumie and Heinkel, and could be accurately said that he's the leader of the trio. Though he some times gets disappointed of Yumie and Heinkel's result due to their very little-care on missions, he's overall a caring priest who cares about everyone's safety and absolutely hates heretics.


 * Alexander Anderson (アレクサンド・アンデルセン,)
 * A mysterious, calm and collected priest; Anderson is Maxwell, Heinkel and Yumie's mentor. While he does not directly helping Heinkel and Yumie on missions, he does give out every information he could get from eye-witnesses to Maxwell; and Maxwell eventually gives these details of information given by Anderson to the duo. He also deeply cares about his students, being the one who sent Maxwell to the hospital after he had gotten injured due to the raid by Abraham Van Rogh's followers.

Minor Characters

 * The Pope
 * The bishop of Rome, and the Vatican's head, the Pope is a mentioned character in Crossfire, who seems to wield huge power. Abraham Van Rogh later attacked the Vatican City State, Head-on in a failed attempt to assassinate the Pope.


 * Mr. Ridgeway (リッジウェイ,)
 * A weapon dealer, the head of the Ridgeway Company, Mr. Ridgeway is an intelligent man; being able to actually made Ilyushin thought that he was just a normal dealer, and got her an ego-boost. In addition, he was working with the Vatican XIII to wipe out Ilyushin.


 * Tomily Fedeo (トミリー・フェデオ,)
 * The news reporter for CNN Italy, he's the one who reported about the massacre within the Vatican City State in a failed attempt to assassinate the Pope. He reported that within the incident, about 25 people are reported dead, and 215 are reported to be wounded, including Enrico Maxwell.

Trivia

 * Ridgeway's design looks identical to Walter C. Dornez's design, which could mean that Hirano recycled the design for Ridgeway, for Walter; as Crossfire was written first before Hellsing started.
