I have not had the opportunity to follow the "Hellsing" series, (I assume it is a Comic, Manga and/or Anime) so I'm not quite sure what character you are referring to.Terastas wrote:Sort of like the Captain in Hellsing if you will; one werewolf among a bunch of other assorted freaks with no motivations beyond himself.
I wouldn't say he has "No Motivations beyond himself" though. He has motivations alright ... as well as two powerful minions / second-in-commands and a considerable army of followers that span across the globe. Take the Political influence and Charisma of Hitler in Nazi Germany, combine it with a well of power and mystique comparable to Dracula, with the regenerative abilities and BloodLust of a "Cursed" Werewolf (in his case it actually was a curse placed on him by a Gypsy-like witch) ... combine them all together into one person ... but then throw a wrench into the mix by giving him a spark of intelligence and charm that suggests that he may not be quite as insane as he first appears and is not truly evil at all. The Man is a veritable Force of Nature. ... however, the more one gets to know him, the more you start to feel that, if someone could just point this guy in the right direction, he could actually change the world (for the better?). ... if he doesn't destroy it first.
As you should be picking up on by now, the setting of this particular story is anything but serious or realistic. It involves Werewolves (of at least two distinct varieties), Vampires (though only one or two of note), Zombies, Aliens, Ninjas, Pirates, Secret Agents, Immortals, Giant Robots ... it's a Mad House!!! ... a MAAAD HOUUSEEEEE!!! ...
Yes. Any anti-werewolf organizations would surely be more Anti-Supernatural groups in general, trying to save humanity from the inhuman world. ... but if any of them actually began to look like they could some day pose a threat to him, "The General" would take care of the problem before it even became a problem.
As a result, the only "Hunters" so to speak, are usually eccentric individuals whom are either too petty for him to worry about, or just clever and powerful enough to defy him. I actually have two such characters in my pending story. One was a successful supernatural vigilante back in the 1940s, along with his girlfriend, but retired after she was killed while defeating their Nemesis. The guy (who I just call "The Master" right now) is actually the SON of one of "The Generals" fellow world group rivals, and thus under 'Protection' (Long story) The other "Hunter" character is the Ex-Boyfriend of the Daughter of the "Alpha" Werewolf character (one of the Good Werewolves), who ... well ... that's a long story too. (Surprise Visit from Boyfriend on Full Moon night = Life changing event for one, and life Ending event for other)
The closest thing to an "Anti Monsters" group would be the 'Dynamic Duo' of the old man and his girlfriend back in the 40's when they were still young. I don't think two people count as an organization though.
There is also a loosely connected group formed by "The General"s rival/best-friend "The Frenchman" (as mysterious and powerful as himself, only more good) whom he refers to as his "Trust", which is a mish-mash of all of the people in the world he trusts above all others when trust is in short supply. Though they may organize to subdue or destroy monsters (of both the fanged and mentally disturbed human varieties) when necessary, at one point or another there have been Werewolf, Vampire and other "Undead" or various Supernatural members of the "Trust" ... so that probably doesn't count either.
... the whole thing is an evolution of the "Pack Mental(ity)" comic I canceled before. I hope I actually get around to making it some day. It's so much fun dreaming these crazy stories up.
