Paul Wilson 《パウル ウィルソン Pauru Wiruson》 was one of humans turned by Incognito. He was a SAS Agent before being abducted by Incognito. He was voiced by Ken Narita on the original Japanese sub, and Craig Young on the English dub.
Appearance[]
Paul had blonde hair and purple eyes with a thin build. He looked like a young man and was probably standing at 5'6 or 5'7, as he appears to be slightly taller than Seras. He was shown only wearing black shorts and nothing else.
Personality[]
Paul was a manipulative stalker. He's shown to be really creepy, licking his face when Seras spits on it. He used his psychic powers to communicate with her and tried to get her to join him, making Seras wonder what his motivation is.
Plot[]
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, instead, he was given several that implanted themselves throughout his body, apparently making him even more powerful than the average "Freak".
It was only after gaining his power, Paul cryptically plagued Seras' dreams, frightening and taunting her. When the battle of the Tower of London breaks out, he takes on Seras directly, transforming into a freakish bat-creature. Seras eventually overcomes him, defeating him by slamming one of her incendiary napalm rounds (explosive rounds) down his throat with her bare hands, apparently, this was enough to activate the incendiary material, triggering the detonation of the napalm.
Abilities[]
Overview[]
An ex-SAS member as well as an artificial FREAK that was implanted with multiple FREAK chips, much like the Valentine brothers, Paul Wilson was a strong and agile man who served as Incognito's right-hand man. He can also be considered as Incognito's fledgling, much like Seras is to Alucard.
Abilities[]
- Superhuman Strength: Normally, a FREAK vampire is already strong and fast enough to stand against multiple humans at once. However, Paul's strength was on a whole other league compared to average FREAKs like Leif and Jessica, as he was implanted with multiple FREAK chips at once. Furthermore, he was shown to be capable of fighting Seras alone, but because of his apparent obsession with him being together with her, he eventually lost, caused by a distraction from Seras. He had also previously put Seras in a lock where she couldn't escape due to her being weaker than him, but eventually, Paul lost his grip and Seras managed to free herself.
- Superhuman Speed: While not as fast as those of that of Luke Valentine of the Valentine brothers, Paul was still fast enough to kick Seras multiple times -not even giving her a chance to react. Seeing as how the SAS ghouls were highly agile and so fast, it can be correctly assumed that Paul is too, as he's literally one of them.
- Telepathy: Aside from Alucard and Incognito, who has the ability to communicate telepathically with someone, surprisingly, it's not a true vampire-only ability as Paul could also do this; showcased in episode 11, where he haunts Seras Victoria.
- Regeneration: A normal vampiric ability. When Paul gets hurt, he automatically regenerates the wound.
- Transformation: Paul was able to transform into a bat or hyena-like creature before Seras slams her grenade onto his mouth.
Relationships[]
Incognito[]
Paul was a newly turned freak, and while appearing only for a short amount of time, acted as a right hand to Incognito. Although Incognito and Paul never interacted in any Episodes of the Hellsing Anime, it can be assumed that he's loyal to him.
Seras Victoria[]
He had a unique fascination (or perhaps infatuation is the best term) with Seras Victoria. He often tried to get her to join his side by using his psychic powers to communicate with her.
Trivia[]
- Paul Wilson is the only other vampire aside from Alucard to communicate with Seras telepathically.
- Paul Wilson is also the only artificial vampire to use telepathic powers in either the Anime or OVA's.
- If Incognito is considered The Captain's stand-in for the anime, Incognito's master is The Major's, and Gareth Henderson would be considered Pip Bernadotte's, then Paul Wilson could be considered Zorin Blitz'ss stand-in for the anime.
- As Incognito is a foil to Alucard and Incognito's Master is considered a foil to Integra, he can probably be seen as a foil to Seras.
- His name may be a reference to the author F. Paul Wilson, whose novel, The Keep, has a vampiric antagonist.
