Introduction

A Vampire is a powerful creature created from a human virgin drained of blood by a vampire of the opposite sex, only for said vampire to offer their own blood in return. This resurrects the corpse as a newborn among the undead and perpetuates a lineage. The first ever vampire to exist was Alucard. Within the Hellsing universe, there are two distinct types of vampires introduced: the aforementioned "true" vampires, and artificial ones created either through the FREAK chip or the Millennium Organization's experiments, both rooted in harvesting raw essence from true vampires. They are also known as a "No-Life King,"Nosferatu," and a "Demon". These names however are commonly associated with true vampires rather than artificial vampires, in which they are known simply as "Freaks".
