Millennium Base Assault

Lore & Background

During World War II, the Hellsing Organization dispatched Alucard and Walter C. Dornez to Warsaw, Poland, to assault Millennium's base. The objective was to stop the organization's initial experiment in creating an army of artificial vampires. Walter, who would later earn the nickname "Angel of Death" for his skill with high-velocity monomolecular wires, accompanied Alucard on this mission. The assault successfully put an end to Millennium's first attempt at mass-producing vampires. However, this event had lasting consequences: The Major forcibly drafted Walter after witnessing his abilities, and Walter, fearing being forgotten, became a double agent for Millennium within the Hellsing Organization in the aftermath of the war.

In Their Own Story

The rain in Warsaw was cold, but the fire in Millennium's base burned hotter. Alucard moved through the facility with brutal efficiency, his path marked by torn bodies and shattered experiments. Young Walter followed, his wires singing through the air as they cut down anything that moved. The Major watched from a distance, not as a commander losing a battle, but as a collector admiring a new acquisition. When the base fell and the artificial vampires were destroyed, Walter believed he had won. He did not yet know that the Major had already won something far more valuable: his loyalty, bought with the promise of never being forgotten.
