Jan Valentine

Age: Early 20s [Deceased] Gender: Male Species: Artificial Vampire (Demon) Affiliations: Luke Valentine Millennium Organization The Valentine Brothers' Ghoul Army (Leader) Aliases Younger Valentine Yahn Yan Abilities: Superhuman Strength Superhuman Speed Creation of Ghouls Self-Disentigratio Jan had dark skin, amber eyes, and dark hair. He wore a dark blue high-collared jacket and dark blue pants, both of which had white trim. He also wore white gloves and a dark blue cap with a white-and-gold eye design on the front. Jan is notable for having multiple gold piercings: some in each ear, his nose, his eyebrow, his cheek and two on his lower lip. Later, one of the piercings on his lip is ripped out by Walter's microfiliament wires in their battle at the Hellsing mansion. The description of Jan in the author's notes at the end of manga Volume 2 jokingly imply that he has a number of hidden piercings. Jan is shown to be vulgar, rude and one of the most foul-mouthed characters in the show, constantly spewing profanity at others and making volatile comments about them. He is also perhaps the most obnoxious, given the fact that he's often loud when he speaks and laughs quite often, even in the face of defeat or death. Unlike his brother, who is usually composed and focused on maintaining their family's business, Jan appears to not truly be pleased unless he is enjoying himself by causing chaos and destruction. This and his appearance make him the complete opposite of his brother. It is implied that he and his family come from an extremely poor background, as Jan said "he knows how to rise from the bottom". Jan Valentine leads a force of ghouls into the Hellsing Headquarters when the Knights of the Round Table held a meeting at the Hellsing complex concerning a course of action on the new vampire "freaks". The purpose of Jan's attack is to assassinate Integra Hellsing and the Knights of the Round, but mainly to create chaos and disorder within Hellsing. He appeared to have succeeded in this latter mission, as during this battle, over three-quarters of the organization's army was killed or turned into ghouls themselves. Jan was the only member of the attacking army to ever reach the high-security meeting, as the rest of the ghouls were destroyed by Walter and Seras. There, Sir Integra and the Convention of 12 congratulated him, before opening fire and riddling him with bullets He is later seen being beat up by Walter. When questioned by Integra about his origins, he reminded her that the chips in his body were still transmitting information to his commanders, including everything that was being said. He then asked her if she thought that considering he and his brother didn't succeed in destroying Hellsing, and that his superiors knew that he was about to tell them everything he knew, they would let him live. Immediately after that, he bursts in flames. As a final, mixed act of disrespect and help, he gave integra the finger and uttered the word "Millenium" before disintegrating.In the last volume of Hellsing we see his hat representing his shrine (with his brother's knife too) along with the items of the other people who died.Given how short their time on-screen together was, it's hard to say exactly how well the two got along. Obviously, Jan is very comfortable talking with Luke, chatting the entire way to the Hellsing Mansion. Luke, however, didn't seem too pleased with the conversation. Luke seems somewhat short with Jan, usually telling him to shut up when he starts rambling.The Valentine Brothers were made specifically to eliminate Hellsing, with Jan being created with the purpose of wiping out the entirety of the Hellsing forces other than Alucard. Due to this he was designed to lead ghouls into combat and did this to great effect - wiping out the primary infantry of Hellsing easily, however the presence of fledgling vampire Seras Victoria eventually caused his downfall and death. As seen among the most powerful monsters of the Millennium Organization he also had a self-destruct ability, which was used by Millennium to disintegrate his body before he could reveal any information on its whereabouts. Jan had the standard abilities of an artificial vampire, including enhanced speed, strength, and durability. He was able to survive being shot dozens of times (likely with blessed silver bullets) by the Convention of 12. While fast, he was significantly slower than his brother Luke, and seemed unable to dodge bullets. His regeneration abilities are largely unknown, but he seemed unable to regenerate his torn off arm.He wields dual custom P90s as his primary weapons of choice.
