Hellsing Ultimate
A visceral gothic symphony of blood and gunpowder, where shadows have teeth and immortality is a heavy shroud. It is a crimson-soaked nightmare that transforms the hunt into a beautiful, violent spectacle.

Hellsing Ultimate - Characters & Cast

Character Analysis

Alucard

Jouji Nakata

Archetype: Anti-hero / Force of Nature
Key Trait: Nihilistic Charisma

Motivation

Initially motivated by his oath to the Hellsing line, his deeper desire is to find a human worthy of ending his immortal life, as he believes he lacks the strength to die as a man.

Character Arc

Alucard begins as an arrogant, nearly omnipotent servant of Hellsing who views humanity with a mix of pity and admiration. Over the series, his past as Vlad III (The Impaler) is revealed, showing his fall from grace. His arc concludes with a quiet acceptance of his master's mortality and his return as an omnipresent entity after 30 years of self-purgatory.

Seras Victoria

Fumiko Orikasa

Archetype: The Everyman / Heroine
Key Trait: Resilient Empathy

Motivation

Driven by a desire to protect the innocent and a deep-seated need for belonging, eventually finding a 'home' within the Hellsing Organization.

Character Arc

Seras transforms from a frightened, hesitant rookie who refuses to drink blood into a True Vampire. Her turning point occurs when she absorbs the soul of Pip Bernadotte, allowing her to reach her full potential while maintaining the compassion that Alucard lacks.

Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing

Yoshiko Sakakibara

Archetype: The Master / Mentor
Key Trait: Iron Resolve

Motivation

Bound by Duty to the British Empire and the Hellsing legacy, she seeks to eradicate all supernatural threats through 'Search and Destroy' tactics.

Character Arc

Integra starts as a young head of the family who must prove her authority. Throughout the series, she remains a bastion of human willpower, never wavering even as London falls. By the end, she is an aged but undefeated leader who has earned the absolute respect of a god-like vampire.

Father Alexander Anderson

Norio Wakamoto

Archetype: The Rival / Fallen Paladin
Key Trait: Zealotry

Motivation

Fanatical devotion to the Catholic Church and the eradication of 'monsters' and 'Protestant heretics'.

Character Arc

Anderson serves as Alucard's foil. Initially a 'Regenerator' who hunts monsters in God's name, he eventually chooses to discard his humanity by using Helena's Nail to kill Alucard, realizing too late that by becoming a monster, he lost the ability to truly defeat one.

The Major

Nobuo Tobita

Archetype: The Villain / Nihilist
Key Trait: Oratory Madness

Motivation

A pure, unadulterated love for war and a personal vendetta to prove that human will can surpass immortal monsters.

Character Arc

The Major remains largely static in his philosophy but is revealed to be a cyborg who has replaced his failing body with machinery. His 'growth' is the fulfillment of a 50-year plan to bring ruin to Alucard and the world, eventually dying with a smile after proving his will was stronger than Alucard's power.
