alucard
Alucard ( アーカード , Ākādo ? ) is a fictional character in the Hellsing anime and manga series created by Kouta Hirano and the main protagonist of the Hellsing franchise.
The most powerful fictional warrior of the Hellsing organization (and arguably the world), Alucard is not a mere vampire, but one of the most ancient. He usually dresses in a Victorian fashion, including a charcoal suit, leather riding boots, and a flamboyant and intricately knotted red bowtie, covered by a long red trench coat. He also wears a red fedora hat with a wide, floppy brim and a pair of circular, heavily tinted, wire-framed yellow sunglasses. He does wear other outfits, however. He has an unbelievably vast range of supernatural techniques and is an expert gunfighter, his enhanced strength allowing him to wield pistols that most would consider heavy weaponry. He fights with ferocity and often extreme cruelty, rarely shooting to kill until his target has been totally disabled and humiliated. He has a massive ego, and frequently gives enemies more than one chance to kill him before retaliating just to demonstrate his enormous powers. Despite his thirst for battle, Alucard is not without feelings. He feels deep affection that ties him to his master, Integra Hellsing, a friendship with Walter C. Dornez, and feelings towards his fledgling, Seras Victoria.
In chapter 89 of the manga he was erased from existence by Schrödinger, in an apparent existential paradox. It is currently unknown whether this will be the end of the vampire, or he will somehow return.
In the anime (both TV series and OVA) Alucard is voiced by Nakata Jouji (中田譲治). In the English dub of both series, he is voiced by Crispin Freeman.
