Instead of finishing Dracula, Van Helsing captured him and successfully tamed him into his family servant using the combination of science and magic. Abraham Van Hellsing, Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris, and Jack Seward (Jonathan Harker, the last member of their group, is left out of the Hellsing version of the story) were able to defeat Count Dracula and killed those who served him. When he accepted the powers of darkness, the silver cross he had always carried with him shattered.Ĥ66 years later in 1897, the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula unfold in the backstory of Hellsing. However, before he was beheaded, he drank of the blood from the battlefield and became a true vampire. Eventually, his troops were defeated, his people were killed (although mostly executed by his own hands), and his homeland was set ablaze. When he became the Voivode of Wallachia, he launched an all-out war on the Turks which devastated both sides. During the whole ordeal, he defiantly clenched a silver cross. It is revealed in Alucard's flashback in Chapter 70 of Hellsing, Castlevania (2) that he was enslaved by Ottoman conquerors when he was a child and sodomized by a high ruler.
He is arguably the first vampire that ever existed. Born in 1431, he later became known Vlad Ţepeş ("Vlad the Impaler") and as Kazıklı Bey ("the Impaling Prince") by the Turks, gaining a fearsome reputation throughout the lands. 4.1 Alucard's/Dracula's powers under Hellsing's controlĪlucard was once known as Count Dracula, also known as Vlad III Dracula, the son of Vlad II Dracul.He was voiced by Jôji Nakata in Japanese and Crispin Freeman in English. Although considered to be an anti-hero, Alucard is a remorseless and pitiless vampire who has no qualms about being a monster and taking lives of innocents (even nonchalantly stated by himself). He is a vampire hunter due to being the servant of the Hellsing family and has been modified to stand against his own kind. Dornez and is affectioned to his fledgling Seras Victoria. He is extremely loyal to his master Integra Hellsing, the long time friend of Walter C. He is Count Dracula who in his past life was Vlad the Impaler, before becoming a vampire and coming to be known as Count Dracula. He is the Hellsing Organization's trump card and is a powerful vampire. You are not worthy of the lowest pits of Hell!Īlucard is the main character and anti-hero of Hellsing. A coward and an incompetent, incapable of doing anything on your own. I even think the character says at one point how he is in two places at once and can be alive/dead at the same time-I forget when though.You are a fool who creates slaves to do your dirty work. Hellsing's Schrodinger was "alive and dead" simultaneously when he was shot by Alucard in OVA 4 and can be seen in two places at once when he is on the battle ship with Alucard, also in OVA 4. "Quantum mechanics suggests that after a while the cat is simultaneously alive and dead." So Erwin Schrodinger magnified the scale to a thought experiment involving a cat in a glass case. You can read about the thought experiment on Wikipedia, but it deals with quantum superpositions which is, "broadly stated, the combination of all the possible states of a system (for example, the possible positions of a subatomic particle)" I thought it would be interesting to mention a possible meaning of the character's name and his relationship to the thought experiment entitled, "Schrodinger's cat." (Again if I'm not pointing out anything new, forgive me) I am not sure if this has been brought up already or is like duh, but here goes:
