Synopsis
For over a century, the mysterious vampire-extermination group - the Hellsing Organisation - has been secretly protecting the British Empire from undead “freaks”.
Slowly but surely, through their active duty, they find a new breed of vampires beginning to arise.
When Integra Hellsing succeeds as the head of the organisation, she also inherits the ultimate weapon against these enemies - a rogue vampire named Alucard.
Armed with an enormous “anti-freak” gun and possessing mysterious and frightening powers, Alucard is one day forced to shoot Seras Victoria, a young policewoman held hostage by a vampire.
Reborn as Alucard’s servant, Seras becomes increasingly torn between her humanity and her vampire urges.
