ALUCARD

Alucard
AL

Hellsing · Protagonist

The most powerful weapon the Hellsing Organization has, which is to say the most powerful vampire in existence, which is to say something that has been accumulating power for centuries and can release it in ways the show deploys with full theatrical commitment. Red coat, round tinted glasses, guns that have no right to be that large. Bound to the Hellsing family by an ancient oath and apparently content with that arrangement, or at least performing contentment convincingly enough that nobody has tested what happens if it lapses. Alucard fights with the enthusiasm of something that has been waiting a very long time for opponents worth the effort. Most enemies do not clear that bar. A few do. Those are the interesting episodes.

Alucard's Casull and Jackal

2001 TV · Anti-Vampire Handguns Open →
Alucard's enormous handguns are part weapon and part character introduction. The .454 Casull is present from the beginning; the Jackal arrives later as an even heavier answer to opponents who can regenerate through ordinary damage. The exact ammunition mythology is less important than how the series uses the guns: they let Alucard fight with casual precision until an enemy finally forces him to reveal that the firearms were never the frightening part.
