Alexander Anderson (アレクサンド・アンデルセン Arekusando Anderusen) is a Vatican priest, working as a vampire hunter and agent of the Iscariot branch of the Vatican. He is also the arch-rival of Alucard.In the English dub of the anime and OVA, he is portrayed as having a Scottish accent, though canonically his nationality is unknown. He lives in Italy, operating an orphanage outside Vatican City. He serves as the foil to Alucard as both an antagonist and type of anti-villain in the series, both in the TV anime and the OVA series.
Appearance[]
Father Alexander Anderson has short, spiky gold hair (silver in the manga), blue eyes (green in the TV series), brown/tanned skin, a defined squared jaw, and light facial hair. In the anime, his hair is slightly different, flattening out towards the top instead of being spiked straight up. He also has a large, wedge-shaped scar on his left cheek. In the first televised anime series, he was depicted with prominent, sharp canines, possibly to heighten his resemblance to a vampire and make him a symbolic counterpart to Alucard, the "tame monster" of the Hellsing Organization. He is shown to be an imposing middle aged man with broad shoulders and very tall, being slightly taller than or as tall as Alucard.
He wears round glasses, a large white cassock(which has purple trim in the TV series and blue trim and interior in the OVA), grey pants (black in the OVA and white in the TV series), black boots, a black shirt (black with blue trim in the OVA and white in the TV series), a clerical collar (absent from both of the anime series), white gloves, and a silver cross (which often glows and is gold in the OVA) around his neck. On his gloves, there are inscriptions written across the crosses drawn on the back. The right-hand says "Jesus Christ is in Heaven". The left-hand says "Speak with Dead". This is later changed to "Speak with The Dead" and in his last few appearances said, "Iscariot Section XIII".
