INCOGNITO SPOILER!
IN
The original anime's final antagonist. An ancient vampire connected to a ritual the 13-episode series builds toward in its back half. Incognito is the original Hellsing's own creation, the direction the show takes when it diverges from the manga to find its own ending. The confrontation with Alucard that closes the series is constructed for maximum spectacle and delivers on it. He exists to give the finale the scale it needs.

Open page →Episode 9 · Red Rose Vertigo · 2001 TV
The ninth episode is not a dockside duel with Incognito. Hellsing is pulled into a castle operation where the arrival of SAS forces immediately feels wrong, while a woman claiming to be Integra's sister Laura infiltrates the Hellsing estate. Seras and Alucard expose the impostor as a supernatural attacker, and the castle force is compromised as well. The episode matters because the Incognito arc stops looking like scattered vampire cases and starts looking like coordinated penetration of British institutions.
Episode 13 · Hellfire · Tower of London
Incognito finally meets Alucard at the Tower of London after the Hellsing Organization has been declared an enemy and London has become the stage for the conspiracy's last move. Incognito can survive Alucard's normal weapons and pushes him harder than any earlier opponent in the television series. Alucard turns the battlefield itself into the answer, melting a large silver cross and using the silver as the weapon that finishes the fight. The ending belongs specifically to the 2001 anime.
