The Last Battalion / Hellsing / Millennium

Schrödinger is the most mysterious and paradoxical member of Millennium, an eternal boy-officer with cat ears and a carefree smile. His image seems caricatured, but behind this outward ease lies one of the most terrifying and incomprehensible forces in the organization. His essence is based on a quantum paradox: Schrödinger exists everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He can appear anywhere, observe, report to the Major, or simply disappear. But his ability is not limited to teleportation - he literally exists as long as he is aware of himself, and can only be destroyed when he ceases to feel his own self. This makes him both invulnerable and tragic: his existence depends on his eternal self-awareness, and in this sense, he is a living embodiment of a philosophical experiment. Schrödinger's personality is as paradoxical as his power. On one hand, he plays the role of a carefree child, curious, mocking, and even naive. He communicates easily, like an innocent observer who is unaware of the horror of what is happening. On the other hand, there is a sense of cold detachment and even cruelty in him. For him, there is no difference between play and death—as if he does not belong to the world of people and does not understand human emotions to the end. His loyalty to the Major is absolute, but unlike the Captain or the Doc, it has a shade of special purpose. Schrödinger is not just a soldier or an executor. Rather, he is a symbol, a tool, a link between the Major's plan and reality itself. His existence confirms the commander's idea of ​​war as an absolute: he is both alive and dead, just like the war itself, which is endless and eternal. Schrödinger is a child of paradox, the embodiment of a game with the universe. He combines childish frivolity with metaphysical horror, and his smile reminds us that the war in Millennium is not just about blood and destruction, but also about absurdity becoming a reality.

Zorin is a dark and intimate figure in Millennium. Her appearance exudes a sense of sadism and cruelty, making her the complete opposite of Rip. She doesn't play or sing; her essence lies in intimidation and torture. Her power is tied to illusions, allowing her to manipulate her opponents' minds, instilling fear and despair. Unlike the Captain or Rip, Zorin openly enjoys the suffering of others. She is cruel, rough, and openly sadistic. For her, there is no theater, only power through terror. At the same time, she is disciplined and loyal to the Millennium, but her loyalty to the Major is based on respect for his power rather than adoration. Zorin symbolizes the horrors of war in their darkest and ugliest form: the destruction of the individual, the suppression of the will, and the triumph of fear.

Rip Van Winkle is one of the most colorful figures in Millennium. She stands out for her eccentricity and theatricality, which makes her a mirror of the Major in many ways. She is characterized by her fanatical dedication to her cause, but unlike the Captain, she expresses it through emotion and artistry. Rip takes pleasure in the game of death itself. Her weapon, a rifle whose bullets possess mystical powers, becomes an extension of her own being. She doesn't just kill; she transforms murder into a performance, a kind of spectacle. Her character is a mix of hysterical passion and childlike naivety: in battle, she laughs, sings, and seems to enjoy her role. However, beneath this theatricality lies a weakness—she is not as cold-blooded and calculating as her commanders. She is more of an actress than a warrior, and this ultimately leads to her tragic demise.

The Captain is Major's silent bodyguard and most loyal companion. Unlike the rest of the Millennium, he speaks little, which gives him an air of mystery. His essence is absolute loyalty. The Captain is a supernatural shapeshifting warrior with incredible strength and inhuman endurance. However, his greatest strength lies not in his power, but in his unwavering loyalty to Major. He has no fanatical speech or sadistic joy. He is like a shadow, carrying out orders without hesitation. His personality is hidden behind a mask of silence, but that is what makes him so scary: he is the epitome of discipline and restraint. If Doc represents science without morals, and Major represents war without purpose, then the Captain is a weapon without a soul.

Doc is the chief scientist of the Millennium organization and Major's right-hand man. While Major represents war as an idea, Doc embodies a soulless science devoid of morality and humanity. His life is dedicated to experimentation and finding new ways to reshape life. He sees no difference between humans and experimental animals, or between life and death. To him, everything is just material. His research is not driven by benevolence but by a twisted pursuit of progress for its own sake. He is fanatical about it: every discovery is just a step towards the next experiment, even more cruel and insane. In communication, Doc appears as a sophisticated sadist. His politeness and calm tone only emphasize his coldness and cruelty. He takes pleasure not only in scientific discoveries, but also in the suffering of his victims, and he never hides it. His loyalty to the Major is absolute, although it is more like an obsession. He sees the commander's personality as a source of endless war, which means an endless field for research. While the Major creates chaos, the Doc puts his ideas into flesh and blood, creating new monstrous weapons. The Doc's character is built on patience, calculation, and methodical cruelty. He is not impulsive or in a hurry: his cruelty is cold and rational, and every experiment is perfected. Thus, the Doc is the embodiment of science for the sake of science, free from any responsibility. While the Major turns war into an art, the Doc turns suffering into a craft. Together, they represent two aspects of the same horror: an idea and its twisted embodiment.

Number of participants: Elite Werewolf group, 1,000 Waffen-SS soldiers turned into artificial vampires (FREAks), an unknown number of SS officers and rank-and-file members.

Abilities / technologies: They are armed with three combat airships (machine guns and missiles), an impressive arsenal of firearms (including grenades and grenade launchers), technology to create artificial vampires, huge riches looted during the war, most members have supernatural abilities, including gulization - a few minutes after death, killed by them they become controlled by zombies.

The Sturmbannfuhrer is a short, plump man with blond hair and golden eyes (in the manga, the hair is gray and the eyes are blue). His hair is arranged in an unusual hairstyle: combed back, and one long strand rises up and falls on the front left side of his head, like a folded paper sheet. He almost always smiles, no matter what happens, the smile does not leave the Sturmbannfuhrer's face.

He is immaculately dressed in a white two-piece suit, white shirt, matching white coat and white gloves. A black tie tied with a red ribbon with a jewel and silver-rimmed glasses perfectly complement the image of a refined and intelligent gentleman. In flashbacks, as well as in the prequel Hellsing: He appears in The Dawn in the uniform of an SS commander, with a white coat draped over his shoulders.

The most striking feature of the major's character is his obsession with war. By his own admission, he loves war in all its forms: even his defeat or potential death in battle, he meets with joy and glee. This obsession can be compared to the true love of a fanatic who devotes himself wholeheartedly to the service of his god.

Despite his bloodthirstiness, the Sturmbannfuhrer always behaves like a gentleman: he is calm, patient, cool-headed and polite in communication, both with his fighters and with enemies. The Sturmbannfuhrer is the epitome of an aesthetically pleasing Nazi: he is well versed in history and literature, prefers fine dishes and wines, likes to listen to classical music and wear elegant clothes. He also proved to be a very eloquent speaker, able to express his thoughts and worldview in long speeches and monologues.

He is so charismatic that he has managed to subdue a thousand creatures many times stronger and more powerful than him, being an ordinary person without any superpowers. The Sturmbannfuhrer is a brilliant strategist who has been planning his war against Alucard for almost fifty years and has achieved success (albeit not complete).

The Professor was an older and tall, lanky man with fair skin. With his pure-golden colored pupils, he had a yellow, straight, and middle-parted bob for hair. His arching eyebrows were tonally a darker shade of yellow than his hair. What type of species he belonged to was unknown, as it was never revealed whether or not he was a vampire or a cyborg. The Professor usually appeared dressed in a perpetually bloodstained white lab coat, an unusual shirt that revealed his lower torso, and glasses with an assortment of adjustable, multi-lensed spectacles. He wore four-fingered gloves with both his ring finger and pinky forced into the last one. This suggested he may have had Syndactyly, having his last two fingers fused together on each hand. In moments of extreme tension, he tended to bite down one of his fingers, hard enough to draw blood. This is a disorder known as "Dermatophagia."

The Professor was a mad scientist who worked for The Major. His loyalty was absolute, but that was only because of his interests within the vampire production program and interest in The Major's plan.He took his work very seriously and would take offense whenever someone insulted his creation.A perfectionist, he was incredibly disappointed that Tubalcain Alhambra had died and was worried that The Major would punish him for Alhambra's failure, yet The Major instead praised him in high regard. Unlike the rest of Millennium, he did not seek to die in a grandiose way.

Rather than seeking the last "hurrah" that the washed-up veterans of Millennium longed for, The Professor's interest ultimately laid within the creation of vampires and the advances of "science" that he loved wholeheartedly. At the thought of his failure and imperfection over the experiments, he wondered what was lacking and what was missing. He believed that his research and his “science miracle,” which thrived upon numerous practices while advancing itself, would someday catch up and even surpass Alucard himself.

Major Max Montana is a figure that embodies war in all its fanatical and twisted essence. He does not possess supernatural powers, but his intelligence and charisma make him one of the most dangerous enemies. The Major is a strategic genius and a master manipulator. His primary weapon is his calculating mind, which allows him to anticipate his opponent's moves and turn chaos into a tool. He does not simply command; he orchestrates the war like a performance. His speeches, full of pathos and fanaticism, can inspire soldiers to die, and his subordinates are happy to sacrifice themselves for him. But unlike many villains, the Major is not driven by a desire for power or revenge. His goal is not victory or ideology, but war itself. He enjoys the process, the destruction, and the clash of forces. For him, there is no good or evil, no moral standards, and no compassion. It is all just a backdrop for an endless conflict. His attitude towards people is shaped by this philosophy. Soldiers are like pawns on a chessboard for him, and he sacrifices them without hesitation. He doesn't hate his enemies; instead, he sees them as equally important, as war is impossible without an opponent. He even treats his own life with indifference, seeing death as a natural part of the game he plays to the end. His character is a combination of fanaticism, cold calculation, and complete indifference to the suffering of others. Despite this, he possesses an extraordinary charisma and the ability to turn any battle into a theatrical spectacle. This is his special danger: he is sincere in his madness. As a result, Major Montana is not a typical villain, but a symbol of war for its own sake. He is a conductor of chaos, turning slaughter into an art form and seeing destruction as the highest form of pleasure.

The Millennium's vengeance weapons are a modernized squadron of massive World War II-era airships (the Grundiss and Hynkel classes). These colossal zeppelins have been converted into floating fortresses, protected by the latest electronic warfare systems and armor, and carrying thousands of bloodthirsty soldiers, ready to descend upon the British capital at a moment's notice.

An elite unit comprised of mutants and freaks with unique paranormal abilities. This includes operatives such as Rip Van Winkle (who wields magical musket bullets), Zorin Blitz (a giant warrior who manipulates illusions and minds), and Tubalcain Alhambra (an arrogant vampire who fights with exploding cards).

The soldiers of the Last Battalion are former SS soldiers implanted with special Doc microchips. These chips artificially restructure their DNA, granting them the strength, speed, and regeneration of vampires. They are not afraid of holy water, crucifixes, or sunlight (though the sun weakens them slightly), but are completely soulless and strictly obey orders from their superiors via radio signals.
