Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Alucard is a
fictional character and the protagonist in the Hellsing manga and anime
series created by Kouta Hirano. A powerful vampire, Alucard works with
the Hellsing Organization against other vampires and evil forces. He has
a range of supernatural techniques including enhanced strength. He
fights with ferocity and often extreme cruelty, rarely intending to kill
until his target has been disabled and humiliated, while frequently
allowing enemies more than one chance to kill him. It is stated in
volume 8 of the manga, that he is Count Dracula. Soon after the events
in the book, Van Helsing somehow gains control of Dracula, renaming him
Alucard (Dracula backwards) and leaves him as a servant of the Hellsing
family. He typically dresses in a distinct Victorian fashion, including
a charcoal suit, leather riding boots, a red cravat, and a long red
overcoat. He also wears a red fedora with a wide, floppy brim and a pair
of circular, wire-framed sunglasses.
