Pickman was Captain of the Hellsing field unit after the Valentines' attack on Hellsing in the Anime. Pickman is a rather crass but efficient soldier, who gives his all for Hellsing. In Order 12, Pickman is fatally wounded by a vampire in the Battle of the Tower of London. Pickman shows quite a bit of conviction, in his final moments he asks Alucard to kill him now, as he wants to die a human, rather than as a Ghoul. Alucard honors the man's final request and puts him down with the Jackal. As a sign of respect, Alucard lays his hat on the man before continuing the fight.
