Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing《インテグラル・ファルブルケ・ウィンゲーツ・ヘルシング卿, Integuraru Faruburuke Wingētsu Herushingu-Kyō, Shortened to: Integra Hellsing》 is one of the three main protagonists of the Hellsing series created by Kohta Hirano, alongside Alucard and Seras Victoria. In both adaptations of Hellsing, she is voiced by Yoshiko Sakakibara in the Japanese sub and Victoria Harwood in the English dub. Kaori Mizuhashi and Tricia Dickson, in Japanese and English, respectively, provided their voices for her younger iteration appearing in flashbacks.

A noblewoman member of the Protestant Knights who is the head and last member of the Hellsing family, a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, the Bureau Director of the Hellsing Agency, and the current master of Hellsing's vampire, Alucard. Sir Integra Hellsing runs the Hellsing Agency with charisma and patriotism, and she is one of the few people who can stand up to the force of Alucard's personality and command his respect.

Appearance

A woman of Dutch and Indian descent, Integra has creamy brown skin, blue eyes, and long blonde hair. She has a tall, thin build, almost to the point of being lanky. Thirty years later, after Millennium's Operation Sea Lion 2, her left eye is injured to the point where she adopts a black eyepatch to cover it, which she wears under her glasses, and her hair has turned white, her age now being 52 years old. Integra's attire consists of a dark green blazer and dark green dress pants, a white buttoned shirt, black shoes, and a red cravat. She also wears a pair of circular wire-rimmed glasses and is often seen sporting a dark green trench coat when venturing outside Hellsing Headquarters. Furthermore, she appears to keep a large revolver in a hidden holster beneath her blazer, supplementing it with a more overt Sig-Sauer pistol and a saber when combat seems likely. She has a fondness for smoking cigars, even in a combat situation.

Personality

A calm and collected individual, Integra handles most situations that would induce terror and fear in the average person with controlled ease. In most cases, even with genuine surprise and happiness, her reactions to stimuli are subdued. Integra is very patriotic and incredibly loyal to the crown, demanding respect within her mere presence as a formidable woman. The incredible mental power she possesses is crucial in running the Hellsing Agency. The precarious nature and danger of Integra's job require her to be strong; as a result, failure and weakness are not tolerated. Thus, strength has become ingrained in her personality; she is a woman of iron with a strong mentality who is willing to take up arms and go to the front lines to make ruthless judgments, being the one who decides to be killed and is essentially the judge, jury, and executioner in her own right. As an executioner, the decision to kill is important in her duty in fighting against the occult and all those who pose a threat to the United Kingdom; even if they are ignorant and clueless, or a former dear and close comrade to her, they must be killed. She takes no chances in battle, giving no mercy to her enemies and doing whatever it takes to fulfill her duty.

Suppression of emotions allows Integra to best handle her job and others, but it leads her to often unrealistic, perfectionist attitudes for others and for herself. She carries a hefty burden where she puts excessive blame upon herself for her failures; the guilt and trauma she endured in having to end the suffering of her own men, who had been turned into ghouls, as advised by Sir Hugh Irons, broke Integra into tears. Even when others had left the funeral, she stayed behind with her sorrow. However, the chaotic event had increased her awareness as a commander, increasing her determination and dignity. Still, she is prone to melancholy and horror: when ordering Alucard to destroy the rest of the clueless GATE squad, she showed uncertainty, trepidation, and hesitation, and there was genuine pain present when she gave the order for Alucard to kill the traitorous, vampirized Walter C. Dornez (a man she had practically grown up with), later desperately ordering Alucard to stay when she noticed him fading away. However, her temper can bring bouts of rage if her patience is tested, and she can be flustered, as revealed by her conversation with Alucard.

Yet, her most defining strength is her will to never give up and pride as a mere human being. She is simply a human being—mind and body—so she takes massive pride in being that way, believing that humans are superior to monsters, as she believes that humans defeat monsters simply because it is a duty that they must fulfill. In spite of her predicament, she has the inner strength to never give up, no matter what the situation may be; in the face of death itself, when surrounded by Last Battalion soldiers, she stands proudly and proclaims her humanity; all the qualities she possesses—her courage, determination, and fearlessness (all of which are traits that she carried from her rough childhood)—made Alucard submit to her will, recognizing her after tasting the bravery of the young girl from the spilled blood in 1989. Though not as overt as Alucard, there is an intimidating and domineering air about her; even as a young girl, she could make Sir Shelby M. Penwood bend to her will when he showed hesitance; as an adult, she bamboozled and made the Armed Priest Vanguard comply with her whims. Despite her otherwise serious and intimidating presence that exudes from her, she is capable of having humor herself.

30 years later, her personality seems to have relaxed some, but she can still be serious when the time calls for it, and age has not diminished her commanding presence. Although she seems to have grown a little insecure about her appearance, and her temper is also a bit quicker. She is motivated to train the new generation of the Round Table Council through hardships and intense training, eventually passing on the legacy of the Hellsing family to their shoulders under the prominent belief that the era for a single family to be leading an entire agency has passed. She encourages them through the, although heavily exaggerated, stories of the previous Round Table members.

To summarize, as a young girl, Integra was a timid but willful girl seemingly intimidated by the supernatural who was forced to grow up abruptly when her treacherous uncle tried to kill her. When Alucard became her servant, she grew more confident and comfortable with her position as head of the Hellsing family and a knight of the Round Table Council, becoming determined and dignified upon shooting her uncle, Richard Hellsing, with a pistol. Integra experiences a coming of age, gaining experience and losing her remaining innocence as events unfold and the war begins, transforming into a leader with an iron resolution who does not flinch at the first signs of danger and who gains wisdom through dire losses and betrayals; even after 50 years of age, her status as the "Woman of Iron" has not been blemished.

Relationships

Familial

• Arthur Hellsing: Arthur entrusts Integra with the protection of England and the Protestant church befre his untimely death. When Integra finds Alucard in the dungeons, she mentions how she "imagined that there might [have been]... a knight who'd protect [her] from the bad guys"; considering that Arthur Hellsing was a knight of England, it could be implied that Integra was longing for someone like her father to protect her from harm. Witnessing Alucard's last stand against Anderson, Integra remembers conversations with her father on his deathbed; she immediately remembers his comment on how vampires "look like terribly pitiful children who might simply break down and cry feebly" when Alucard is forced to kill Anderson. Although Arthur's life was cut short, Integra proudly honors his memory and his teachings as the leader of the Hellsing family, standing proudly as the last living descendant of the Hellsing lineage to honor his memory and preserving the legacy he left behind.

Allies

• Alucard: Integra has been connected to Alucard since her father's death in 1989. Arthur Hellsing named her the new head of the Hellsing Agency, a decision that drove his jealous brother, Richard, to try and kill her.
  
  Using the air ducts, Integra snuck into the dungeons of the Hellsing Headquarters sublevels and found Alucard's corpse in one of the rooms. After being awakened by licking the splattered blood on the floor caused by Richard's men, who shot Integra in the arm, Alucard brutally murders Richard and his men before pledging loyalty towards Integra, having tasted the courage and determination of the young girl. The image of her being just a "frightened little girl" was gone the moment she pulled the trigger of the pistol herself and killed Richard, satisfying Alucard. At times she has trouble understanding his true nature. Integra finds Alucard's actions to be unsettling but trusts him with her orders; for Alucard, her hesitation and occasional trepidation that come over her when giving Alucard orders tremendously excite and satisfy him, prompting Alucard to even remark that it arouses him. When witnessing Alucard's battle with Anderson, she finally realized what her father meant when he compared vampires to children crying out for death.
  
  In addition to being her servant, Alucard could accurately be described as Integra's weapon, and she as his wielder; he made it very clear that although he can massacre her enemies without even a bit of hesitation or an ounce of regret, what will kill is her intent. Upon Alucard's disappearance from existence, Integra was visibly devastated, having desperately ordered him to stay moments before. However, she remains confident that he would return. Over the thirty years it takes for Alucard to re-manifest himself, Integra's faith in his return is quite shaken. When Alucard finally does reappear in her bedroom, she tells him sorrowfully that she is an old woman now, but Alucard seems not to care in the least; Integra then bites her finger hard enough to draw blood, and while Alucard is still seated before her, she allows her blood to fall into his mouth as they greet each other as "Count" and "Countess," respectively.

• Seras Victoria: Integra is first outraged at Alucard's actions in turning Seras into a vampire, then eventually comes to accept her within the Hellsing Agency. When Seras loses control of her vampire instincts during the attack on Hellsing Headquarters, in her rage, she kills the newly reanimated Hellsing soldiers in front of Integra. Integra, horrified at the sight of Seras mercilessly slaughtering her men, rushes to Seras and embraces her, pleading for her to stop rather than demanding it of her. Despite being a vampire, Integra trusts Seras's self-control and judgment with Integra's own life and mortality; Integra ordered Seras to lick the blood off of Integra's own finger that she had cut, an order that Seras at first hesitated but eventually gave in to and felt better afterwards. This demonstrated that Integra trusted that Seras would not bite her even when offered pure virgin blood. Seras stays with Integra during the thirty-year transitional period, where the two have grown even closer as companions.

• Sir Shelby M. Penwood: Not long after her father's death, Integra was knighted and introduced to Vice-Admiral Sir Penwood, a former friend of her father. Stating that she herself is no different from her father, Integra asks Penwood to take care of her. His sacrifice was just one of the many examples that helped solidify Integra's resolution about humanity's worth and continue her duty. Integra has deep respect for Sir Penwood for his heroic last stand, though she exaggerated it for his grandson so he could be looked upon more favorably.

Enemies

• Alexander Anderson: For his unhinged attitude and general psychopathic display, Integra had a strong dislike for Anderson, whom she described as a "bloody monster" because of his status as a Regenerator. In the face of a man who is almost as strong as Alucard, Integra shows no fear and remains calm, still smirking as she struggles to keep her guard up from Anderson's bayonets. When the invasion began and Integra was saved from an ambush by a battalion of Millennium soldiers by Anderson after proclaiming her humanity, Anderson berated Integra but shortly after commended her, proclaiming that only Iscariot may defeat Hellsing and no one else. After witnessing Alucard's battle with Anderson, Integra finds her new respect towards Anderson and carefully places his bayonets on the floor as she witnesses Alucard peacefully talking to Anderson.

• Walter C. Dornez: Walter had always been a dear friend and trustworthy figure for her, acting as an advisor, protector, and occasionally emotional support; he was essentially a father figure for Integra. While Alucard may have been Hellsing's crown glory, Walter could very well be considered her second-best soldier before Seras Victoria agrees to drink blood. Integra and Walter shared an interesting dynamic where they discussed various combat methods and other plans of action. Integra also relied on Walter to retrieve information to seek out the true meaning of Millennium from Jan Valentine's cryptic final message. Integra clearly trusted Walter with her life, as he is often used as her bodyguard rather than Alucard or Seras. When it is discovered that Walter had betrayed them, Integra is devastated. After an inner struggle, she orders Alucard to kill him because any forces that oppose Hellsing are to be crushed underfoot; when she had finished sending in the order to Alucard to eliminate Walter, she struggled to hold back her tears within the last few sentences. Despite his betrayal, Integra is moved to sadness when Walter passes away. When she notices how much she has aged over the past thirty years, her older appearance reminds her of Walter.

OVA Manga With her aim and accuracy, Integra was able to accurately shatter Anderson's bayonets with her pistol	Marksmanship: Her aim with a pistol is almost superhumanly accurate; precisely, she was able to shatter Anderson's bayonets with her pistol, despite the fact that Anderson was moving the bayonet in order to kill Seras. Later, she shot down one of the vampirized Nazi soldiers of the Last Battalion.
Control Over Alucard
After Alucard pledges loyalty towards Integra, Integra gains absolute control over Alucard, granting her the ability to order him to do her bidding as a servant of the Hellsing family. In order to fully release the capabilities of controlling his shadows and familiars, Alucard has to request Integra to unlock Level Zero—a Level that unlocks the restriction that binds Alucard's true powers.

Weapons

Hellsing Family Saber
OVA Manga	The Hellsing Family Saber has been passed down from generation to generation. Now it is in Integra Hellsing's practiced hands, and she uses it mercilessly against anyone who opposes her. During the final battle, Integra breaks the saber against the specially reinforced glass wall that was protecting The Major. She soon gets a new saber within the thirty-year time skip.

SIG Sauer P226

OVA Manga

The SIG Sauer P226 is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by SIG Sauer. While operating almost exactly the same as the SIG Sauer P220, the P226 is developed with higher capacity. Integra's P226 is loaded with "rounds tipped with blessed granulated silver" in order for it to be more effective against ghouls and vampires. Integra has two P226s; one she gave away to Sir Penwood so that he could defend himself from Last Battalion members that would inevitably overrun the place, and one she kept until it ran out of ammo when trying to shatter the specialized glass wall made by the doctor to no avail. Caliber: Blessed Granulated Silver Tip Rounds Total length: 196mm Weight: 964g Magazine: 15 Rounds

Webley Mk VI

OVA Manga

The Webley Mk VI is a revolver manufactured by RSAF Enfield. Introduced in 1915, it is the best-known model of the Webley revolvers. The Mk VI featured redesigned, more squared grips, a 152 mm barrel, and removable front sights. In Volume 2, Sir Irons gave Integra his Webley Mk VI in order for her to execute the unfortunate people of the Hellsing military who had turned into ghouls. Much later on, Integra uses a Webley Mk VI in her final duel against The Major, as her P226 had previously run out of ammo in a useless attempt to break the glass wall shielding The Major from her. Caliber: 455. Webley Total length: 286mm Weight: 1.1kg Magazine: 6-Round Cylinder

Concept and Creation

The title of the Hellsing series itself is derived from the fact that Integra, one of the main characters of the series, is a descendant of Professor Van Helsing. She was described as having a skin similar to that of a "mere Indian." When creating Integra, it was Hirano's intention to make her the most "human-like" character in the series, yet Hirano described her (and Alucard) as an "anti-hero" who would take no chance and show no mercy in battle in order to get what they want. Given that the main focal point of the story is that the human will always defeat the monster, it is why Integra defeated The Major and also why The Major temporarily defeated Alucard.

Name

Integra's full name is "Integral," with an extra "ル (-ru)" at the end of "インテグラ (Integura)," "Integra" simply being a nickname. Originally in her character profile within a special Young King OURs issue, her name was spelled as "Integla." Later in a signed autograph sketch, her full name was spelled as "Hellsing Falbullckke Wingateez Integlal." Presently, all official merchandise (including the anime and the OVA) and Hirano himself exclusively use the "Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing" spelling.

As a member of the Order of Royal Protestant Knights, she is designated with the title "Sir," which has caused some confusion among fans about Integra's gender. Whether the title is inherited from her father, in which case she is a Baronetess, remains a matter of speculation. The correct appellation for knighted females within the British honors system is, in fact, "Dame," not "Sir." Whether Integra's title is correct within the fictional Protestant Knights of the Hellsing series or is simply a misnomer is not known.

Trivia

• Integra normally smokes a fictional brand of small cigars (either cigarillos or possibly panatelas) called "Hendi Winzermans small cigars." The name and the packaging design indicate that they are a play on the real cigar brand Henri Wintermans. In fact, the similarity of the spelling may even indicate that it was simply a spelling mistake.
