Alucard appeared in the 2001 manga called Hellsing. Alucard (アーカード, Ākādo?) is the main protagonist of the Hellsing series created by Kohta Hirano.
He is the most powerful weapon of the Hellsing Organisation which works against vampires and other such supernatural forces. Alucard is no mere Vampire; it has been implied that he is the most powerful vampire alive and may be the most powerful character in the series, rivaled only by The Captain and Alexander Anderson. He is also Seras Victoria's Master and a very loyal servant to the Hellsing Organisation's leader; Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing.
The same actors for Alucard in the original anime, reprised their roles as Alucard in Hellsing: Ultimate; with the Japanese seiyu being Joji Nakata, and the English dub actor being Crispin Freeman.
Alucard has stated on more than one occasion that he can appear as whatever he wishes, and that the forms he takes on any particular occasion reflect no meaning or purpose. His hair length changes according to his release states from short to knee length. His teeth may also change from those of a typical human with slightly elongated canines, to large and triangular in a manner somewhat reminiscent of a great white shark.
