The Major

Apperance: The Major is small, plump, and unprepossessing in expression to his sadistic personality; his unpleasant smile is a mask that hides the monster within. He commands with a good-natured attitude that can quickly dissolve into savage sadism or grandiose elation. In the manga, assuming the information given by the corrupt priest who was interrogated by Enrico Maxwell is correct, then the Major was between 26 and 27 years old in the year 1941 (just after participating in Operation Barbarossa), thus placing him in his late eighties during the Hellsing series. Given these values, he was probably born somewhere around 1913 or 1914 (being 26 or 27 in 1941). The Major was a short, obese man with blonde hair and yellow pupils. His hair was oddly styled, with a longer section coming up and then down again in the front left side of his head, like a folded piece of paper. He was seen with a wide grin throughout most of the series, although there were a couple of scenes where he was seen frowning. He was described as awfully short for a soldier, standing in at around 160cm and was said to have looked in his mid-twenties. He was dressed impeccably in all-white attire, wearing an expensive shirt with a white tie and black gem under a matching double-breasted suit and overcoat, trousers and shoes, and a pair of gloves and gray circle-framed glasses.

Species: cyborg

Gender: male

Personality: As a member of the surviving Nazis now made leader, he is secretly making an army of Nazi Vampires. He has a fanatical obsession with war, loving it in any and all of its aspects. He enjoys watching Millennium wreak havoc upon the world, and takes a cavalier approach to death, including his own. The Major does not care whether he is on the winning or losing side of a war and simply enjoys taking part in it. Even when he was a Nazi in World War II, the Major did not care for the reasons behind the war and spearheaded the Millennium project so that he could wage war forever. While he still used the label of "Nazi," he didn't believe in nor hold loyalty to the Reich; when surviving Nazi higher-ups, now elderly, demanded to be made vampires to reinstate Hitler's vision, the Major refused, dismissing them as cowards, then having his loyal Nazi vampires devour the old Reichstag. Despite his love of war and bloodshed, the Major is very calm and soft-spoken, speaking in a polite and amused tone and always acting affable towards others. However, his true nature is apparent to all, as he openly proclaims his own evil and states that Millennium has no goals beyond causing wanton destruction and slaughter, all the while mocking the righteous beliefs of his enemies. But though he admits to being a monster and madman, the Major sees himself as a true human and is very proud and protective of his humanity, which he defines as his willpower and "soul". The Major displayed no belief in any religion, however, his reverence for war itself seemed to cross into worship; it'd drive him to borrow concepts of war from mythology, such as claims of Valhalla being the destination for triumphant troops. He showed an extremely sadistic side to his foes, but also even his own soldiers, with the most exaggerated example with Rip Van Winkle. While defeated Millennium soldiers are swiftly immolated by the Doctor's implant, either because they lost or are a threat to reveal their secrets, upon Rip becoming subject to Alucard's mercy, the Major belays the Doctor's activation of her self-destruction, rather noting she succeeded in being bait for Alucard to trap him on the aircraft carrier; thus, the Major half-mockingly, half-sincerely salutes Rip Van Winkle, which the rest of the gathered Millennium echo - the immolation would have caused a swift death, but to "reward" her success, the Major allows Rip's incredibly slow, violating, and painful death at Alucard's many hands. The Major's defining trait in the series was a complete and utter obsession with war. By his own admission, he loved war in any and all of its aspects; even being on the losing side or having his own life at risk provoked nothing but glee and excitement. His insane devotion to war was evident in the sheer fondness with which he regarded the havoc the Last Battalion wreaked upon the world, as well as his cavalier approach to death, which was passed on to most of his forces through his speeches. Despite being a former Nazi, The Major did not care for the reasons behind any war and appeared to have no political or ideological leanings. Even during World War II, his enthusiastic work on the Millennium Project was solely to ensure that he could wage war forever. The Major was an almost textbook example of a sociopath. While he had a certain charm and charisma that allowed him to inspire his followers and manipulate his enemies, he cared for no one beyond their usefulness to him and lacked empathy and compassion on almost every level. Only his goals mattered to him, and while he claimed that he and his people all share a common cause, in truth, he only saw them as a means to an end. He had no reservations about the horrors caused by his actions and even delighted in the carnage and destruction he caused. This ties into his inherent nihilism and desire to end his existence with the grand swan song he believed he deserved.

The Major is the main antagonist of the manga series Hellsing and its OVA adaption Hellsing Ultimate. He is the former SS-Sturmbannführer and supreme commander of the Millennium Organization who seeks to plunge the world into an endless state of war. He is the archenemy of Sir Integra Hellsing and Alucard.
