Hellsing: Hellsing Organization
 * border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
 * The Hero||Alucard. Although he can also fill the role of The Big Guy if you consider Integra The Hero, instead.||

 * The Smart Guy||Pip Bernadotte. All his feats are due to strategic genius and as tactician. When he works with Seras Victoria, they become a Genius Bruiser team. Occasionally, he takes the role of The Heart.||
 * The Big Guy|| Seras Victoria. Ironically, she’s the shorter member of the group. While she seemed like a Tagalong Kid in the beginning, her role quickly was expanded to fight big opponents with even bigger guns than theirs. She’s the one who exercises brawn the most.||
 * The Chick and Big Good||Integra Hellsing. Handing out the orders, keeping the inner peace of the Organization and everyone glued. While she can appear quite The Stoic, the series more or less give the final moral and ethics resolution.||
