Hellsing 《ヘルシング Herushingu》 is a thirteen-episode anime television series by Gonzo. The series was directed by Yasunori Urata, under the chief direction of Umanosuke Iida, and written by Chiaki J. Konaka. Although Hellsing was inspired by the manga and uses the same characters and design, it follows a storyline written by Chiaki Konaka instead of the original manga.
Characters[]
Protagonist(s)[]
Seras Victoria[]
- Seras was a member of the D11 elite police response unit until she was mortally wounded by Alucard in his destruction of a vampire masquerading as a priest. On the verge of death, she chose to allow Alucard to turn her into a vampire. Serving beneath Alucard, she now works for the Hellsing Organization and deals with the consequences of her decision.
Alucard[]
- Alucard is a mysterious figure. A supernatural vampire of untold age and power, he acts as the Hellsing Organization's secret weapon. His reasons for doing so, however, as well as his motivations, remains unknown. His position within the Hellsing Organization is one of unique status. He is the agency's ace in the hole, answerable only to the Organization's Chairman.
Antagonist(s)[]
Incognito[]
- This masochistic vampire is from "the dark continent," a reference to Africa. Though physically androgynous, he is generally thought to be male. Extremely powerful, he combines dark magic with an enchanted ArmsCor 40 mm grenade launcher that fires spines. Incognito vomits into the launcher's cartridges before loading, and he also is known to have a Gatling gun as a backup. During the final plot arc of the series, he summons a snake-like being referred to as Sett and takes it into his body in order to use its power to attack Alucard. Incognito has regenerative powers which seem to be related to the purple stripes and sigils covering his body.
Paul Wilson[]
- SAS soldier turned artificial vampire by Incognito. Paul Wilson was among those given the FREAK Chip by Incognito for the final attack on the Tower of London. Wilson, however, didn't just receive one chip, as he was instead given several that implanted themselves throughout his body, apparently making him even more powerful than the average "Freak". He serves as Seras Victoria's enemy.
Deuteragonist(s)[]
Sir Integra Hellsing[]
- A young noblewoman, she is the head and last member of the Hellsing family. She doubles as the leader of the Hellsing Organization, and Alucard's "Master." She inherited the Hellsing Organization at the age of thirteen upon the death of her father. Although she often seems strict and domineering, she is respected and admired, even among her sworn enemies.
Walter C. Dornez[]
- Walter is a 69-year-old retired member of the Hellsing organization. Though now serving as Integra Hellsing's butler, he has still proved to live up to his nickname, "The Angel of Death", with deadly razor-sharp wires. He has a close friendship with both Integra and Alucard.
Commander Peter Fargason[]
- Commander of the Hellsing Organization's paramilitary forces. An experienced, devout, loyal, and efficient field commander, he is trusted and admired by Integra Hellsing and is Seras Victoria's mentor.
Tertiary Characters[]
Paladin Alexander Anderson[]
- A warrior priest or paladin who works for the Vatican's Section XIII, Iscariot. Anderson is Iscariot's ultimate weapon in the fight against the undead. With regenerative capabilities and a variety of holy weapons (including his signature blessed bayonets), his mission is nothing less than the complete destruction of all the demons of Hell. As this includes many of Hellsing's subordinates, Anderson is one of Alucard's greatest foes.
Enrico Maxwell[]
- Enrico Maxwell is the fanatical head of the Catholic Church's secret Iscariot Organization (Vatican Section XIII).
Luke and Jan Valentine[]
- The Valentine brothers are "freaks," humans who were turned into vampires with the aid of a chip. They have much influence in the criminal underworld. Jan acts, looks, and sounds like a member of the lower classes and uses strong profanity, whereas Luke is much more cultured and restrained. The two launch an attack on Hellsing's headquarters midway through the series with a small army of ghouls.
Other Characters[]
Helena[]
- A young-looking vampire that spends her time reading and listening to "Solveigs Song" by Grieg. She appears to live alone in a dark, old house. Despite her young appearance, she is quite old and becomes something of a role model for Seras.
Kim[]
- A news reporter saved in Episode 02 from a vampire, she tries to prove afterward that vampires exist to the general public.
Enrico Stivaletti[]
- A foreign exchange college student who appears in Episode 03. An artificial vampire implanted with the "freak chip," he attempts to turn another student, Mick, whom he is heavily implied to be in a romantic relationship with, into a vampire for the sake of being "together forever."
Harry Anders[]
- An experienced MI5 agent who works on a case involving snuff films and Hellsing, and later aids Seras Victoria in the hunt for Incognito. He implies that he knew Seras' father years ago.
Laura[]
- A baobhan sith who infiltrates Hellsing's headquarters in order to assassinate Integra Hellsing.
Captain Gareth Henderson[]
- Captain of the Hellsing Special Military forces, serving under Commander Peter Fargason.
Renaldo[]
- Adviser and bodyguard to Enrico Maxwell.
Captain Chris Pickman[]
- Hellsing Captain introduced in the latter portion of the series, serving under Commander Peter Fargason.
