Hellsing

Set at the end of the 20th century, the story follows the Hellsing Organization as they battle vampires and other undead creatures plaguing England. Their greatest weapon is Alucard, an immensely powerful vampire bound in service to the Hellsing family, who is deployed alongside the newly turned vampire and former police officer, Seras Victoria.

The organization soon faces a devastating attack from a mysterious enemy group, later revealed to be Millennium, a battalion of Nazi remnants hiding in South America. Having perfected artificial vampirism, they launch a massive assault on London.

The conflict escalates into a three-way war when the Vatican's secret Iscariot Organization, led by the fanatical Enrico Maxwell, invades London with a crusade to reclaim England for the Catholic Church. The final battle culminates with Alucard unleashing his full power, the "River of Death," absorbing millions of souls, before a final confrontation engineered by Millennium's leader, the Major.

Thirty years later, after seemingly being erased from existence, Alucard returns to a much older Integra and Seras, who has since taken his place as the organization's primary vampire.

Alucard

The main protagonist, voiced by Jouji Nakata. A vampire of unparalleled power, bound to serve the Hellsing family. He is arrogant and enjoys toying with his enemies, fighting with two massive pistols.

He deploys a multi-level restraint system, ending with the cataclysmic "Level Zero."

Seras Victoria

Voiced by Fumiko Orikasa. A former policewoman turned vampire by Alucard during a mission gone wrong.

She eventually accepts her powers, becoming a formidable warrior wielding massive anti-fortress cannons.

Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing

Voiced by Yoshiko Sakakibara (adult) and Kaori Mizuhashi (child). The head of the Hellsing Organization and Alucard's master.
