SS Sturmbannführer Montina Max《モンティナ・マックス, Montina Makkusu》,[10][11][12][13] known more by his title as The Major《少佐, Shōsa》, is the main antagonist of the Hellsing series created by Kohta Hirano. He is voiced by Nobuo Tobita in Japanese and Gildart Jackson in the English dub.

A former lieutenant of the SS, Adolf Hitler, issued a special order (#666) placing him in charge of a top-secret project, the main focus of which was the perfection of an artificial vampirization process. He is an "incorrigible warmonger," who takes great pleasure in fighting, regardless of the objective or the outcome of the conflict. He is the acting führer of the Millennium Project with the goal of defeating the vampire lord Alucard.

Appearance The Major was a short, obese man with metallic gray hair and pink pupils.[a] His hair was oddly styled, with a longer section coming up and then down again in the front left side of his head, like a folded piece of paper. He was seen with a wide grin throughout most of the series, although there were a couple of scenes where he was seen frowning. He was described as awfully short for a soldier, standing in at around 160cm and was said to have looked in his mid-twenties.[14] He was dressed impeccably in all-white attire, wearing an expensive shirt with a white tie and black gem under a matching double-breasted suit and overcoat, trousers and shoes, and a pair of gloves and gray circle-framed glasses.[b]

Personality The Major's defining trait in the series was a complete and utter obsession with war. By his own admission, he loved war in any and all of its aspects; even being on the losing side or having his own life at risk provoked nothing but glee and excitement. His insane devotion to war was evident in the sheer fondness with which he regarded the havoc the Last Battalion wreaked upon the world, as well as his cavalier approach to death, which was passed on to most of his forces through his speeches.[15] Despite being a former Nazi, The Major did not care for the reasons behind any war and appeared to have no political or ideological leanings.[16] Even during World War II, his enthusiastic work on the Millennium Project was solely to ensure that he could wage war forever.[17]

The Major was an almost textbook example of a sociopath. While he had a certain charm and charisma that allowed him to inspire his followers and manipulate his enemies, he cared for no one beyond their usefulness to him and lacked empathy and compassion on almost every level. Only his goals mattered to him, and while he claimed that he and his people all share a common cause, in truth, he only saw them as a means to an end. He had no reservations about the horrors caused by his actions and even delighted in the carnage and destruction he caused.[18] This ties into his inherent nihilism and desire to end his existence with the grand swan song he believed he deserved.[19][20]

Contrasting his fanatical love of war, The Major was very calm, patient, and soft-spoken, almost always speaking in a polite, amused tone. One could see he seemed to prefer an upper-class lifestyle, often seen eating high-class steaks and red wine, as well as wearing expensive clothes; he was an elegant and stylish man who loved music and junk food.[21][22] Additionally, he seemed to be well-versed in history and literature, often referencing both during speech and was noted to enjoy opera.[23] He was very eloquent and well-spoken and often engaged in numerous soliloquy-esque monologues.[24] He was a military genius, having planned his attack on London for over half a century and witnessing almost every detail go according to plan.[25]

Though not caring whether his soldiers lived or died, he acted as if he cared for them as a group, giving them morale speeches and making note of acts worthy of reward; however, this did not extend to traitors, whom he happily had executed.[26][27] He also had no qualms about dealing out punishment for other forms of insubordination, which in his "I Loved War" speech was one of the things he declared enjoying.[28] However, The Major freely admitted his own evil while mocking the righteousness of his enemies; when he crashed the Queen of England's meeting, he mocked both Integra and Maxwell's beliefs while claiming that the Last Battalion had no goals.[29][30] The Major, not being known as a "good shot" even by himself, was taken easily in battle in his past; however, what attracted many soldiers was the "idea" he harbored, from which he inherited from the führer.[31][32

Despite having been a self-proclaimed fiend and madman, The Major was very proud and protective of what he perceived to be his humanity, which he defined as his willpower and "soul." During the fall of Berlin, he rejected the temptation to drink blood and ensure his survival by becoming a vampire, even though he seemed to have been on the verge of death, and even though vampirism would have meant he would be able to taste life eternal and wage war throughout the centuries.[33] He allowed The Professor to keep him alive by keeping his brain intact but his body maintained as a machine. This way he could maintain his "soul" and sense of self, whereas Alucard lost his sense of self with all the souls living inside him due to vampirism. It was this pride that led to The Major's campaign against Alucard, whom he viewed as a monster and an inherently inferior being for sacrificing his humanity for power—a sentiment ironically shared by Alucard himself.[34]

Allies The Professor: One of the few important people that was crucial in The Major's grand plan. They had mutual respect for each other, and The Major even went so far as to comfort The Professor and called him a "genius," after The Professor fretted over the failure of Tubalcain Alhambra.[35] The Professor was among those who had worked with The Major since the very start. During the fall of Berlin, The Captain and The Professor saved The Major from apparent death after suffering from a beating by Soviet soldiers.[36] In the end, the protective glass wall that The Professor made for The Major's safety was ironically criticized by The Major for being too "sturdy."[37] Though he had a great relationship with The Major, The Professor worked with the Last Battalion, only to seek to test his capabilities in order to advance science, believing that someday his experiments would surpass even the likes of Alucard.[38]
