Hellsing Wiki

Colonel親衛隊大佐, Shin'eitaitaisa is a minor antagonist in the Hellsing series created by Kohta Hirano. He is voiced by Shouto Kashii in Japanese and Michael T. Coleman in the English dub.

A foolish colonel who fails to realize that the men's loyalties lie with The Major and makes the mistake of incurring their wrath.

Appearance[]

He was a tall, elder German officer with brownish-gray hair and an angular face. Due to his old age and decaying health, he used a cane to aid his movement. The Colonel seemed to be wearing a rather strange insignia on his uniform. While it's mostly that of a German Heer General, his collar tabs sported a combination of SS runes and an oak leaf used by an SS Standartenführer (Colonel), which was something that was never used by Nazis.

Personality[]

He was arrogant and demanding. He was violent, attempting to beat The Major into submission. The reason that the Colonel, along with the other Nazi superiors, wasn't converted into vampires was so they wouldn't be able to stand in the way of The Major's plans against Hellsing and Alucard. This is likely due to the fact that the Colonel would've used the Last Battalion to establish a Fourth Reich, which The Major had no interest in. As with most others outranking The Major, he falsely presumed that he was in control, when in fact, The Major was the one pulling the strings and the one who had the soldiers loyalty.

History[]

After World War II and Hellsing's interference with the operations of Hitler's Special Order #666, most of the remaining Nazi officials escaped to South America sometime after the end of the war in Europe, taking with them a battalion of 1,000 Waffen-SS volunteers and a few members of the German Wehrmacht. They eventually formed the "Last Battalion" a secret unit for the eventual execution of Hitler's Special Order #666.

In 1999, during The Major's return to Millennium's secret base in Jaburo, the Colonel became furious with The Major, frantically asking why the top echelons had never been converted into vampires and tried to beat him into submission. To this, The Major revealed two things: every single other member had already been converted, and the old generals themselves were the leaders only nominally. He then proceeded to assert his authority by ordering the soldiers to turn against their own superiors. Not long after, The Major had them executed on a live broadcast to the London summit between Iscariot and the Table, formally declaring war upon England.
