Biography

Seras Victoria (Japanese: セラス・ヴィクトリア, Hepburn: Serasu Vikutoria)

Seras was originally a police officer who, along with the rest of her squad, was sent into Cheddar Village to investigate a priest who was responsible for multiple homicides. A vampire disguised as a priest had taken control of the town and turned its inhabitants into Ghouls. The vampire took Seras hostage; unsure if she was a virgin or not, he planned to rape her to ensure she would turn into a ghoul after he drank her blood. When Alucard arrived, the priest used her as a human shield to coerce Alucard into letting him live. Alucard asked her if she was a virgin, and when she confirmed that she was, he shot through her to kill her captor. In her final moments of human life, she was given a choice: to die as a human or become a vampire. She chose to live and Alucard turned her into a vampire. Given her condition, Seras was immediately employed by the Hellsing Organization after becoming a vampire. She was given a new uniform and almost immediately sent out on a mission by Integra with Alucard to eliminate some ghouls which had infested a household. While carrying out this mission she would come face to face with Father Alexander Anderson from the Vatican agency Iscariot who pierced her with numerous blessed blades from behind before proceeding to fight with Alucard. During the course of this battle, Alucard's head was taken off by the priest and Seras, fearing her Master dead, took it and fled. As she pulled out the blades from her body Alucard's voice spoke to her, bidding her to drink his blood and become a true vampire. Seras, however, was too hesitant to do so before Anderson caught up to her, it was only the timely arrival of Integra and Alucard's subsequent resurrection which saved the situation.

Sometime later, Walter revealed to Seras that per Sir Integra's order, he disposed of her bed and replaced it with a coffin. It was then that Seras was also given her new weapon, the anti-tank cannon Hallconnen. The timing of this proved fortunate, as soon after the Hellsing Manor was attacked by two vampire brothers, Luke and Jan Valentine. The younger brother, Jan, led an army of ghouls that slaughtered the Hellsing troops and almost succeeded in reaching Integra and the visiting council members. Together Seras and Walter were able to stop this from happening. Walter led their attacks and Seras provided armed support, eventually managing to pin Jan down in a grapple she learned from her police training. After revealing the Hellsing troops were now Ghouls Jan broke free of her hold, sending Seras into the arms of the ghouls. She subsequently lost control and in a fit of bloodlust destroyed a number of them until Integra intervened. Jan, now disabled by gunshot wounds at the hands of Integra and the council, died as an unknown entity set him alight from the inside, the vampire only giving a single clue as to who sent him, 'Millennium'. Meanwhile downstairs Alucard killed and consumed Luke Valentine. Shortly afterwards, a confrontation with the Iscariot Section XIII leader Maxwell occurred at the British Imperial War Museum, during which Seras successfully managed to avert another fight between Alucard and Anderson by pretending to be a tour guide.

After the encounter, she had a run-in with The Wild Geese. Much later she is comically locked in her coffin by Alucard so she could be tricked into traveling in the jet to Brazil. When they arrive in Brazil, Seras awakens to Alucard telling her to prepare for battle with the Rio SWAT team. Seras tries to protest but is berated by Alucard for her mercy toward mortals. During her master's fight with Tublucain Alahambra, she tries to shoot at him but fails. The two are then rescued by Pip Bernadotte after Alucard defeats Tublucain. During a fight with Anderson, she tries to intervene but is scared into submission. At the meeting between Iscariot, Hellsing, and the Queen of England, she acts as a security guard of sorts. During the Invasion of London, The Wild Geese and Seras are stationed at the Hellsing Organization headquarters while Alucard battles Rip Van Winkle and Integra encounters Alexander Anderson and the rest of Iscariot during the raid in London. When Zorin Blitz attacks the headquarters against the Major's wishes, Seras holds her off with the Hallconnen II. While Pip is impressed with her, he teasingly refers to her as 'girl', rather than calling her by her name. Moments before the battle in headquarters, Pip shares an intimate story with Seras about his time in London and all of the people he has met there. He tells her that he cannot forgive how they have turned into corpses that ate other corpses and encourages her to get revenge. This inspires Seras to take down the airship. During the fight in headquarters, Seras with Alucard's help broke Pip from the illusion cast by Zorin. However, the distraction allowed the Nazis to infiltrate the building. Seras takes the offense while Pip and the Wild Geese take the defense. Before going to their posts, Pip attempted to but failed to steal a kiss from Seras who screams at him. Pip tells her "don't die," before she runs into battle, then later remarks on how she's a 'good girl' and how "If you let a girl like her die, you're a disgrace as a man." Volume 7 opens up with a bloodbath, as Seras is devastated by how many of the Wild Geese have been violently butchered by the Nazis. She vows to beat all of them. Meanwhile, Pip and the others are being beaten back by the Nazis, though Pip is confident that Seras will come to their aid since she is "[that] kind of girl." Pip is wounded by the time Seras arrives but is overjoyed to see her. Before her fight with Zorin, he comments on how he wishes he could have kissed her.

Using her illusions, Zorin distracts Seras with the horrible memory of her father's death and the rape and murder of her mother. Zorin then slices off Seras' arm, stabs her in the back, and then blinds her with her scythe. Before Zorin can kill her, Pip hits her in the face with a rifle and shoots her. He throws Seras over his shoulders and attempts to escape. All the while, Seras begs him to leave her behind and save himself. He refuses but is fatally wounded when Zorin throws her scythe at his back. Blinded and weakened, Seras tries to find him when they fall to the ground, calling his name and feeling around for him. Pip waits until she's close enough before he moves in and kisses her. Seras is stunned by this but gives into his kiss. Pip laughs, happy that he finally stole a kiss from her, then tells her to feed on him. His final thoughts before dying were, "She's such a good girl. If I die protecting her, c'est la vie." Seras is devastated by his death, holding him in her arms while she screams in agony. It is only when Zorin insults Pip by referring to him as an insect that Seras is moved to rage and finally drinks Pip's blood. This restores her and allows her to kill the remaining vampires, including Zorin herself. She then proceeds to save Integra from the Iscariot priests and meets up with Alucard on his return to London, astounded by his original form. Soon after she is present when Paladin Alexander Anderson dies and questions Walter for his betrayal of Hellsing. She and Integra are then invited to fight on the airship Deus Ex Machina along with The Major and The Captain. While Integra looks for the Major, Seras confronts the Captain. The two promptly engage in a swift gun battle, raining rounds at each other in a hectic fashion. As both are eventually disarmed, they move to hand-to-hand combat. The Captain now demonstrates how truly and utterly outmatched the young Vampire is, displaying his bestial wolf form, mind-staggering strength, use of mist-like intangibility, and blistering speed to absolutely dominate her in the initial exchange.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Seras Victoria was a attractive young woman with blonde hair cut into a flare cut and blue eyes. Occasionally, her eyes assumed a red hue in moments of extreme rage or vampiric bloodlust. She had a fairly broad-shouldered torso, yet maintained a very voluptuous and buxom figure, which was further accentuated by the fact that she was considerably shorter than virtually all of her allies. Before becoming a full vampire, she usually wore a yellow Hellsing uniform with a matching mini skirt, long white stockings, ankle-fold brown boots, and brown gloves.

A very brave, strong-willed, and heroic young woman who often rejects following orders of her master that cross with her personal beliefs.

Powers and abilities

Originally, Seras Victoria was born an ordinary human being with no special inherent traits or abilities.

Seras Victoria was born a member of the human race but was later biologically transformed through a supernatural blood pact, granting her an exceptional undead status as a fledgling vampire. On a basic feats level, her newly acquired vampire physiology completely replaced her human limitations, gifting her with biological immortality, immunity to standard mortal illnesses, and a complete cessation of physical aging. She was an exceptional member of her species regarding her prior tactical police training, which provided her with baseline proficiency in firearms handling, spatial navigation, and hand-to-hand combat maneuvers. Her primary innate supernatural power was enhanced physical capability, elevating her physical strength, speed, and reflexes to superhuman levels that allowed her to wield massive heavy-caliber anti-freak weaponry with ease and dodge incoming projectiles. She possessed an exceptional, high-level sensory awareness, granting her night vision and the ability to track biological targets across miles by sensing their lifeforces. Additionally, her vampire biology granted her an advanced healing factor, allowing her to rapidly close open wounds and survive otherwise fatal thoracic trauma through the systematic consumption of fresh human blood.

Seras' preferred weapon is the Hellsing ARMS Anti-Midian Cannon Hallconnen. With the Hallconnen in hand, Seras serves perfectly as long-range fire support. Before gaining the Hallconnen, Seras used a relatively smaller rifle, firing 13.7mm rounds. The letters BAERLKS were spelled out on its side but the gun had Hallconnen written in the same place. Seras uses these weapons to barrage Zorin's Zeppelin II in an overwhelming display of firepower. The ammunition containers are detachable, and Seras is seen using the Hallconnen II without them, though she quickly runs out of ammo. They appear to be both belt and magazine fed; when they're first seen, they're belt fed, however, in Episode 10, she loads them with box magazines. They also appear to be locked breech recoil operated, as the barrel moves when it fires and it has no gas tube. Described as a "Wide area saturation, high explosive incendiary grenade launcher", the Vladimir (named after the "Dune" character) is a set of fictional muzzle-fired grenades that are part of the Hallconnen II weapon system. Seras uses these to deliver the final blow to Zorin's Zeppelin II. They are fired seemingly in a similar manner to most muzzle-fired grenades, however, the ignition seems to be primed with a live round, whilst most real grenades of this type are fired utilizing a blank round.
