[[folder: Alucard]]

* {{Alucard}}
* {{Badass}}
** BadassLongcoat
* BerserkButton: 'WHAT DID YOU DO?!' (episode 9).
* BreakTheHaughty: After episode 9 nearly gets Integra killed, he behaves far more thoughtful and considerate with her.
* {{Dracula}}: In the final episode, there's a brief moment where Alucard's face resembles Vlad (III) Dracula's.
* EvilLaugh
* HappinessInSlavery: Slight subversion, he's ''not'' so happy and seems SealedEvilInACan, but he hates the idea of losing Integra more (episode 9).
* {{The Hero}}
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Played straight and then subverted with his 'level one' appearance. Unlike the manga, his appearance as Vlad actually resembles his historical portraits.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He gets "killed" by trying to shoot Incognito with his Jackal. Afterwards, when he gets better, he uses Incognito's powers against him in a GenreSavvy way.
* HumanoidAbomination
* [[ILoveYouVampireSon I Love You, Draculina Daughter]]: Some shades of this with Seras and the reason why he keeps offering Integra his blood.
* InSeriesNickname: Monster is the most frequent. There is also PeterPan, his codename.
* {{Lolicon}}: "Excellent! I feel such a rage ''swelling'' between my legs!" might not be the most reassuring line to say to a little girl while you pin her to a wall with NoSenseOfPersonalSpace.
* MeaningfulName: Do you really need it explained?
* MysteriousPast: Other than [[{{Dracula}} the shot of Vlad Tepes mentioned above]], it's never really said what or who Alucard is unlike the manga which explicitly shows events from his past.
* NobleDemon: The TV series cuts back on some of his KickTheDog moments and makes him downright paternal to Seras.
* TheMasochismTango: With Integra.
* TheObiWan: To Seras.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a few to vampires he considers to be a disgrace to their species.
-->'''Alucard''': Children without faith... if you had any control you would travel as fog or as a bat. You've gone and taken all those lives, [[EvenEvilHasStandards and not even because you were thirsty.]] Is it fun? Is that what it takes for filth like you to get off? Cheap little two-bits terrors.[...] Eternity is wasted on the likes of you.
* OneWingedAngel: Level 1, his most powerful form.
* PoisonousFriend
* PsychopathicManchild: Type C, mostly, but with some type B in there - which matches [[{{Literature/Dracula}} the original novel's]] description of Dracula having a child mind.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: He's damn proud of being a True Undead. Integra occasionally taunts him, prickling his pride.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He seems to have this toward Integra one way on another. He only changes Seras because she has Integra's eyes, and the news reporter that he bites midway through the series has Integra's coloring.
* UndyingLoyalty: Less of it than the Manga, but he will serve his master.

[[folder: Seras]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair is much more yellowish in the manga and OVA, but she's a strawberry blonde in the anime.
* AudienceSurrogate
* BettyAndVeronica
* {{BFG}}: Harkonnen
* BreakTheCutie
* {{Chickification}}: Compared to her Manga counterpart, this Seras is smarter, but not as asskicking (most likely because the anime didn't adapt material past Volume 2) and gets too many DistressedDamsel instances (like in episode 3, where it only took one of Anderson's bayonet to knock her out).
* DaddysGirl: With a MissingMom, she seems to be abnormally attached to her father, unlike [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan her manga counterpart]].
* DayWalkingVampire: Seras seems to have to wear hats and sunglasses, but it seen outdoors in light a few times, though those times it was a bit cloudy.
* [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: She has a humorous learning experience with this in the second episode. At the firing range, one of the Hellsing soldiers suggests that the [[{{BFG}} massive 13.7mm Anti-Midians rifle]] might suit her better. Seras protests that she wouldn't even be able to lift it, only to yank it clean out of the guy's hands one-handed when she tries, leading to this conversation:
-->'''Seras:''' That's strange. What's it made of, is it plastic?
-->'''Soldier:''' It weighs in at 15 kilos, plus a couple more for ammo.
-->'''Seras:''' *Shaking the gun up-and-down with one hand* It's really that heavy?
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire
* HappinessInSlavery: She refuses Alucard's offer when he wanted to give Seras her freedom.
* IAmWhatIAm
* IconicOutfit: It's not manga canon, but Seras looks good in blue.
* InSeriesNickname: Kitten, Police Girl, Tiger Lily (in reference to PeterPan).
* GreenEyedMonster: Her reaction when the relationship between Alucard and Integra softens in the last episodes.
* MissingMom: No picture of her at all.
* MoralityPet: She is this to Alucard.
* MsFanservice: UpToEleven from her Manga version (who never wore a revealing outfit other than her Hellsing uniform).
* TheNoseKnows: In addition to the [[SuperSenses "third eye"]] ability seen in the manga, Seras also has an enhanced sense of smell as a vampire. She uses it to [[spoiler: detect a bomb]] in the 5th episode.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted, as she's a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire. But a vampire nonetheless.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue.
* ReplacementGoldfish: She might have been intended to be this. According to [[WordOfGod Studio Gonzo]], Alucard turned her because her eyes reminded him of Young Integra's.
* RookieRedRanger
* TheSquadette
* VampireDetective: She journeys into this trope in some of the filler arcs.
* VegetarianVampire
* WhatHaveIBecome: She struggles with losing her humanity, but accepts her vampiric nature much earlier than in the manga, drinking medical blood in the fourth episode.
** The Anime makes a serious emphasis on this, while the manga was barely referred over it or it was PlayedForLaughs with Seras' making comical reactions, and {{Fanservice}} when she finally licked Integra's finger.
* ZettaiRyouiki:

[[folder: Integra]]

* AttemptedRape: Victim of ''three'' of them.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Her mother is shown wearing a sari, implying Indian heritage.
* BerserkButton: Anything that humiliates and stains her Organization and soldiers. She'll avenge a ''thousandfold''. Especially traitors.
* BettyAndVeronica
* BreakTheCutie: Poor, poor young Integra...
* BreakTheHaughty: What happened from episode 9 and towards the end.
* CryCute: Episode 10.
* DaddysGirl: Unlike her manga counterpart (who occasionally remembers her father but mostly when Alucard triggers some memory and doesn't keep even a picture of him), in the Anime Integra seemed to love and dearly miss him (keeping his portrait in her office), but also resent his shadow.
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* GreenEyedMonster: Her reaction to Alucard turning Seras for the first episodes. He seemed to be aware of this, giving her a knowing smirk.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Integra thinks this way when she announces to Walter that Her Majesty has abandoned them at the end of the series.
* HeirClubForMen: The anime plays up the bureaucratic stress on Integra caused by her peers.
* HonorBeforeReason: Subversion. The ending of episode 9 seems to fit this trope way, but actually she stabbed her neck not to choose death over being tainted by vampire's blood but to ''fight for her life''. Otherwise she would have become a mindless ''ghoul''.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: In episode 9 and 13.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: She is able to shoot the shape of a cross onto a vampire's face; this kind of accuracy is nearly impossible in RealLife.
* InSeriesNickname: Lady of Steel (in supplement material), Virgin of the Royal Protestant Order, Protestant Swine ([[ChurchMilitant Maxwell]]'s nickname for her), Wendy (to continue the PeterPan parallels codenames).
* ItsAllMyFault
* KnightTemplar
* LargeHam
* {{Meganekko}}
* MissingMom: There is a picture of her holding baby Integra, and a scene that could imply that she committed suicide.
* NotSoDifferent: To Alucard, she even acknowledges this in episode 4. "Your world is ''my'' world."
* SayMyName: "Acknowledge my approval! '''ALUCAAAAARRRD!'''"
* SharpDressedWoman: As "Sir" Integra, she wears a stylish suit.
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* TheMasochismTango with Alucard.
* TheUnReveal: Will she take Alucard's blood? [[spoiler: She only smirks as an answer as the blood drips down.]]
* VirginPower: Still a virgin here and apparently her blood is super delicious to vampires, and leads to her almost becoming a VirginSacrifice to open the gate of Hell.
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask

[[folder: Walter]]
* BadassGrandpa
* BattleButler
* CasualDangerDialogue
* DissonantSerenity: He has the ability to stay calm in ''any'' situation.
* FlashStep
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: But he lives through it.]]
* RazorFloss
* UndyingLoyalty

[[folder: Incognito]]
* BaldOfEvil: Complete with a Nazca-looking skull.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: It's not clear whether Incognito suffers from this, or he really is androgynous, as some have speculated.
* {{BFG}}: a Grenade launcher.
* {{Big Bad}}: Though he does have a superior.
* BodyHorror: He can summon a weapon from his arm.
* CanonForeigner
* CombatSadomasochist
* DragonInChief: To whoever [[GreaterScopeVillain his master]] may be, though they are [[TheGhost never seen on screen]].
* [[spoiler: Myth/EgyptianMythology]]: [[spoiler: He summons Set, the Egyptian God of Chaos, in the last episode.]]
* EvilCounterpart
* EvilSoundsDeep
* {{Expy}}: He has a very similar vibe to the Major from the original, most notably:
--> "I will destroy everything. I was born to bring ruin to all that is."
* EyeScream: The fact that he has no eyelid over his red left eye would indicate he's had one in his life.
* FullFrontalAssault
* GatlingGood
* LooksLikeOrlok
* OmnicidalManiac
* ScaryBlackMan: Considering he's implied to be from Africa, it's not much of a stretch.
* ThatCameOutWrong: [[spoiler: Set]] will enter me. Made even worse by the aforementioned BarbieDollAnatomy.
* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Much like Vlad's historical victims, Incognito's body is left with a spear going up his ass and coming out his mouth, though, given his sadomasochistic tendencies, this might not have been overly upsetting for him.]]
* WorthyOpponent: For Alucard.

[[folder: Alexander Anderson]]
* AntiVillain
* BadassPreacher
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* DarkSkinnedBlonde
* DualWielding: He loves doing this with his bayonets.
* DemotedToExtra: He's nowhere near as important in the TV series as he is in the manga and OVA.
* TheGiant: He literally towers over Hellsing's RedShirts and has to stoop down to go through subway train cars.
* InSeriesNickname: Sword Dancer, Vatican's Dog, Captain Hook, Judas Priest (by Alucard).
* WorthyOpponent: Averted. Unlike his manga counterpart, he's not this to Alucard in the Anime.

[[folder: Enrico Maxwell]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing
* DemotedToExtra
* InSeriesNickname: Catholic swine (courtesy of Integra).
* SmugSnake

[[folder: Helena]]
