Eric Van Helsing is an ineffectual, yet extreemly dedicated, slayer. Van Helsing's cover identity is as a woodwork teacher at Stokely Grammar, where he initially believes Robin to be a vampire, but soon decides to focus on Vlad. This results in many failed attempts to slay the Draculas. It is revealed that his obsession caused his marrage with Mina to break up before the series started. Van Helsing desperately wants his son, Jonno, to follow in his path as a slayer, despite Jonno's initial resistance to the idea. {{spoiler|Van Helsing is [[Laser Guided Amnesia|mind-wiped at the end of Series 2]], and in Series 3, it's revealed that he was [[Bus Crash|killed by vampires]]}}.
