JAN VALENTINE
JV
Luke's brother and the chaos to his control. Foul-mouthed, violent, deploys ghouls with the genuine enthusiasm of someone who is having the time of his life. The attack on Hellsing HQ is the original series' best set piece and Jan is the engine that gives it energy. Where Luke is the threat that demands to be taken seriously, Jan is the threat that makes the sequence move.

The Valentine assault is the moment Hellsing's secrecy and reputation stop protecting it. Jan leads armed ghouls into the headquarters while Luke goes looking for Alucard. The attack is crude compared with the conspiracy that follows, but devastatingly effective: Hellsing's own dead become part of the force attacking the survivors.

Jan reaches the Round Table but dies without giving Hellsing a clean explanation of who sent them. The victory leaves the organization alive and gutted.
