The Major from Hellsing Ultimate.

My friends... it has often been said that I like The Major.

My friends, I like the Major...

NO!

My friends... I LOVE the Major.

There are going to be a fair few villains on here who are here simply for being really well-written, realistic, and understandably flawed characters who you could truly imagine existing in real life.

The Major is not one of these.

If anything, The Major is the exact opposite... a man so extravagantly evil you couldn't possibly imagine it. In terms of pure villainy, The Major is second to almost no-one. He possesses a kind of mad charisma that is almost impossible to resist. The man is a deranged war fetishist, who creates armies of vampires in the name of war. Is this in the name of revenge for his fallen master, Adolf Hitler? I think not. He just really, REALLY likes war. And he will not hesitate to tell you this. And you can really feel it. The major is able to ramble about how much he loves war for an entire, 7 minute scene. But that's not the impressive part. The impressive part is that he can speak about it with such passion that he will leave you on the edge of your seats for the entire 7-minute speech.

What's more impressive is that The Major is probably the most terrifying character in all of Hellsing despite doing very little himself. The fact that he has such powerful command over a terrifying legion full of characters who are more than worthy of appearing in this list themselves, through sheer force of charisma. Because here's the fun part... The Major is human, leading an entire army of vampires who could easily turn on him and kill him at any moment if they so wished it, and yet they follow him so devotedly that they would never dream of it.

Favourite Quote: "Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers in arms, what is it that you really want? Do you wish for further war as I do? Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is bent with iron and lightening and fire? Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest, leaving not even ravens to scavenge, FROM THIS EARTH?!"
