The series takes place primarily in a fictitious United Kingdom, which is under attack by the undead forces characterized as a rogue Nazi battalion which survived the end of World War II.

[citation needed] The main characters at the start of the series are members of the Hellsing Organization—a clandestine British royal order that is tasked with defending the United Kingdom from supernatural threats in the manga.

After Millennium declares war, she and the Wild Geese defend against Zoran Blitz's assault on Hellsing Manor, killing off most of the vampire soldiers before taking on Zorin herself.

During the events of Hellsing: The Dawn, Walter accompanied Alucard in the storming Millennium's base during World War II in Warsaw, Poland where they put end to the organization's first attempt at create an army of artificial vampires.

However, due to his fears of being forgotten and The Major forcibly drafting him after witnessing his abilities, Walter became a double agent of Millennium within the Hellsing Organization's infrastructure in the aftermath of the war.

Despite his advanced age, Walter can still fight his way through hordes of the living while helping Integra make numerous difficult choices when Alucard harms innocent humans in order to achieve mission objectives.

Having regressed to his teenaged self and stating he risked everything to prove his worth against the vampire, Walter loses his chance as he is forced to watch Alucard fall into The Major's trap and cease to be after unknowingly absorbing Schrödinger.

Dark Horse Comics Editions Tonkam Planet Manga Norma Millennium (German: Jahrtausend) is a fictional Nazi organization who serve as the primary antagonists in the series.

He is a short, calculating and utterly ruthless Nazi officer whose unremarkable appearance and polite demeanor mask a psychopathic mind that delights in all forms of cruelty and carnage.

After he and his vampire followers execute the Old Men for attempting to usurp their authority, the Major openly declares war on Hellsing and England as he brings the Hindenburg II to London.

An unstable and eccentric genius, the Doctor digs up the body of Mina Harker, code named "The Shi", from her grave to create a Nazi vampire army out of 1,000 volunteers in the Letztes Battalion.

Vexed by Walter accusing him of being a fraud, the Doctor attempts to detonate the explosive charge in the youth before losing his limbs and hitting the ground while dragging the curtain covering Mina's skeleton.

Unlike The Major and Lieutenant Rip van Winkle, he still wears a full uniform throughout the plot, which is similar to an M42 Greatcoat with its neck-guard constantly turned up, and an M43 officer's cap emblazoned with the Totenkopf symbol.

This includes: superhuman senses, strength (strong enough to bend steel bars or shatter limbs with a single kick), speed, reflexes/reactions, agility, dexterity, flexibility, coordination, balance, and endurance.

His first chronological appearance was in Hellsing: The Dawn as a mysterious SS officer character fights a fourteen-year-old Walter C. Dornez as well as Alucard during a 1944 attack on Millennium's main research facility in Warsaw during World War II.

Despite a last ditch effort to kill Alucard, with The Major telling the Doctor to let her die a hunter's death instead of incinerating her as a rare gesture of "generosity", van Winkle is consumed in the vampire's shadows and becomes his familiar.

Voiced by: Ryoko Shiraishi (Japanese); Laura Bailey (English);[7] Junior Warrant Officer Schrödinger (シュレディンガー准尉, Shuredingā jun'i) is a member of Millennium's Werewolf special forces who is a creation of the Doctor's.

Resembling a young, teenage blond boy in a Hitler Youth uniform with cat ears and a perpetual smirk, Schrödinger shares The Major's love for war and bloodshed while serving mainly as his envoy for Millennium.

After the Valentine Brothers assault, Schrödinger is sent by The Major to appear before Hellsing during Integra's meeting with Iscariot and the Queen of England to deliver Millennium's war declaration and briefly flirts with Seras.

While the volatile, obnoxious and rude Jan Valentine (ヤン・バレンタイン, Yan Varentain) is a run-of-the-mill vampire armed with a pair of heavily modified, suppressed FN P90s, the calm and reserved, yet highly condesending Luke Valentine (ルーク・ヴァレンタイン, Rūku Varentain) is specially modified to have accelerated healing and speed with the use of a pair of sawed-off M1 Garand rifles, a curved bowie knife, and a Walther PPK concealed up his sleeve.

Voiced by: Nachi Nozawa (TV) Norio Wakamoto (OVA)[4] (Japanese); Steven Brand;[4] (English) Alexander Anderson (アレクサンド・アンデルセン, Arekusando Anderusen) is a paladin within Iscariot, serving as its trump card against Alucard, who refers to him as his nemesis.

In the first televised anime series, he was depicted with prominent, sharp canines, possibly to heighten his resemblance to a vampire and make him a symbolic counterpart to Alucard, the "tame monster" of the Hellsing Organization.

His eventual assistance to Integra and betrayal of Enrico Maxwell (who becomes drunk with power and starts killing innocent humans), is quite unlike the TV series Anderson who is portrayed as little more than a mindless, psychotic killer.

When using the nail of Helena his body becomes a mass of thorns and his healing factor has become more advanced to the point it rivals Alucard's as well as burning unholy beings, and enhancing his strength and speed.

Anderson appears again with Enrico Maxwell, the head of Iscariot to discuss with Integra about the instigator of the attack on the Hellsing manor led by Luke and Jan Valentine.

Singleton Jr. (English) The main antagonist of the first anime series (not to be confused with the OVA), Incognito is a masochistic and homicidal vampire from Africa who comes to England with the mission to destroy London and eat Alucard after defeating him.
