vampire Alucard

history

Alucard was born in November 1431 as Vlad III Draculea, son of Vlad II Dracul. He later became known as Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) and as Kazikli Bey (the Impaler Prince) to the Turks (for his biography, see Vlad III Dracula). He "died" in 1476, at the age of 45. Alucard recalls "that day" 523 years ago in Chapter 71. The circumstances of his death and transformation are shown in the previous chapter (Castlevania), but the details are unknown. In his flashbacks, he sees himself as an infant held prisoner by his people's enemies and being abused by his captors. Finally, as an adult again, he is seen in the hands of his enemies, seconds from execution, at which point he transforms. Centuries later, in 1897, the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula unfold. Jonathan Harker, Abraham Van Helsing, Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris, and John Seward were able to defeat Vlad (then known as Count Dracula) and kill all of his servants. In the dream sequence in volume 4, Van Helsing says that Mina Harker was freed from his (the Count's) control, just as in the book. At this point, Hellsing deviates from the novel. The Count was staked, but not destroyed; it is unclear whether Dracula was forced into servitude or did so voluntarily, but from that moment on, the Count became the servant of Van Helsing and his descendants. The next known event in Alucard's life is during World War II, in 1944. Dracula was now known as Alucard, the name given to him by Arthur Hellsing. Alucard and Walter (then 14 years old) were sent to Warsaw, Poland to stop Millennium's vampire production program based on Mina Harker's infection. The results of the mission are unknown. Decades later, in 1970, Alucard is locked in a dungeon in Hellsing's mansion by Integra's father, Arthur. According to Sir Hugh Islands in chapter 75 (Heart of Iron), Alucard

personality

Alucard fights ferociously and at times with extreme cruelty, rarely shooting to kill at the start of a fight; he does not take his opponent seriously until they have been completely incapacitated and humiliated. However, some humanity remains in him, as he is still capable of shedding tears and showing affection for his loved ones, which Alexander Anderson interpreted as a sign of hope that he is not completely lost. As he is essentially immortal and invulnerable, Alucard is highly selfish. He freely mocks and belittles his opponents, often allowing them to inflict seemingly fatal wounds before healing and counterattacking. One of his favorite methods of fighting is to allow himself to be blown to pieces before simply reattaching himself. An example is shown when Alucard fights Luke Valentine. When Luke gains an advantage over Alucard, victory seems within reach. The tides turn when Alucard transforms a part of himself into a hellhound. Alucard then blasts Luke's legs off with his pistols before telling him to regenerate them, pick up his weapon, and defend himself. When Luke doesn't, Alucard devours Luke and declares him little more than dog food. Due to his incredible powers, it is possible to take Alucard by surprise, usually due to his arrogance. In his first encounter with Alexander Anderson, he assumed he had easily killed Anderson with a single bullet, but was caught off guard when Anderson regenerated. Alucard also expressed deep disappointment that Luke was not a more worthy adversary. In the anime, he seemed preoccupied with finding a worthy opponent. In the manga, however, Alucard states that he wishes to find an opponent, a human opponent, with enough willpower to destroy him despite his strength. Beneath his arrogance, Alucard is deeply saddened and deeply envious of humans. Alucard also has great respect for humans.
