Lore & Background
During World War II, the Hellsing Organization dispatched Alucard and Walter C. Dornez to Warsaw, Poland, to assault Millennium's base. The objective was to stop the organization's initial experiment in creating an army of artificial vampires. Walter, who would later earn the nickname "Angel of Death" for his skill with high-velocity monomolecular wires, accompanied Alucard on this mission. The assault successfully put an end to Millennium's first attempt at mass-producing vampires. However, this event had lasting consequences: The Major forcibly drafted Walter after witnessing his abilities, and Walter, fearing being forgotten, became a double agent for Millennium within the Hellsing Organization in the aftermath of the war.
