Integra Hellsing

Lore & Background

Integra inherited the leadership of the Hellsing Organization as a child after witnessing her father's murder. This event turned her from a kind and innocent young girl into a ruthless and determined woman thoroughly devoted to her new role. She is protected by the faithful Hellsing family butler Walter C. Dornez, a deadly foe in his own right, and Alucard, the original and most powerful vampire, who swore loyalty to the Hellsing family after being defeated by Van Helsing one hundred years before the story takes place.

Early in the storyline, former police officer Seras Victoria is turned into a vampire willingly by Alucard to save her from certain death and joins the organization. As the scale and frequency of incidents involving the undead escalate in England and all around the world, Integra discovers that the remnants of a Nazi group called Millennium still exist and are intent on reviving Nazi Germany by creating a battalion of vampires. Millennium, Hellsing, and the Vatican section XIII Iscariot clash in an apocalyptic three-sided war in London, and Millennium reveals its true objective: to destroy the vampire lord Alucard, ending a feud begun during World War II.
