Lore & Background
Arthur Hellsing is the direct descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, the man who originally defeated Count Dracula. Decades after that defeat, Arthur gives the Count the codename "Alucard." Later, Arthur imprisons Alucard in a dungeon in the Hellsing manor, as he believes the vampire is too powerful to be used frequently. After 20 years of imprisonment, Arthur's daughter Integra Hellsing, who was marked for death by her traitorous uncle, opens Alucard's crypt as a final resort. Her blood awakens and resuscitates the ancient vampire, who then executes Integra's uncle and his followers and willingly enters her service.
