Alright! Let's begin. This chapter, we are going To focus on creating an Millennium Soldier of the Hellsing universe. This creation template I'm using is universal and can be used, for well, anything really. Let's begin by discussing what is Millennium? What are their motives?
Firstly- Millennium is a fictional Organization found only in the Hellsing verse but it is hinted that it was based off of the Nazi armies Last Battalion which was supposed to be Hitlers triumph card in WW2. However this is false, as both instances of "the Last Battalion" Were actually "Lost Battalion" And referred to both WW1&WW2 American forces isolated by German Forces.
In ww1 Is was a name given to the 77th division in which out of 554 men: 197 were KIA, 150 went MIA and only 194 were rescued.
In ww2 it refers to the 141st infantry (36th Division orig. Texas National Guard) Which were surrounded by German forces in which the commanding officer ignored the advice of his senior officers and engaged to combat, only to be stranded with two failed attempts at rescue. The 442nd RCT managed to successfully break German lines and rescue 230 men, leaving the 442nd with over 800 casualties with 42 taken as POW's. It's 100th Infantry Battalion has the nickname "The Purple Heart Battalion."
Secondly: In the Hellsing verse: Millennium is a Nazi Organization also known as the Last Battalion. It's main name is a reference to the "thousand year Reich" which Hitler tried to establish during WW2. It was supposedly founded by "Hitlers special Order #666" as a means of researching and employing supernatural means for military warfare. In the year 1944 their grande project was foiled by the young Walter C. Dornez/Dolnez (Walter Cumm Dornez/Dolnez) and !GirlyCard (Alucard).
After the war (Where it was believed the two had killed them all), the group escaped with the help of the Vatican to relocate to brazil so they could go into hiding and start on their research Finding a way to turn humans into Vampires via alternate means, which caused them to use the "FREAK chip" as well as using the blood of Mina Harker to help create artificial vampires.
They soon after launched their attack on England after remaining in the shadows for many years. Their true objective could be said to have been to start a war that would wipe out the face of humanity, or to try and completely destroy Alucard in which they almost succeeded but only managed to create a Vampire that could match Alucard in full: Seras Victoria- not taking into account that Alucard himself would destroy all of his other souls sans Schrödinger and become everywhere yet nowhere, making him twice, if not more so, as deadly.
All of this being said, Two individual members of the group seem to have their own motives as follows:
The Major: To cause unending war/Kill Alucard
The Doc: Unknown, hinted to be to Save/awaken Mina and/or create the perfect vampire. either way he values his research.
It is safe to assume all others follow the majors Motive for chaos and destruction, or just a good killing time in general. It is also assumed that, the only reason Walter turned on Hellsing was to achieve his life-long dream of beating Alucard in combat, or that the doc may have done something to alter his behavior, such as implementing a FREAK chip into him.
All of this being said, Millennium seems to have no clear purpose or goal other then to wage war, if only in revenge for their defeat 54 years ago by England and Hellsing.
Whew! That was a mouthful! So there, now we have a little background information about Iscariot and what it entails. Now, let's begin making that character. The Format I will be using will be the same as the previous chapter with some changes.
.:Information:.
"Character Quotes are a good way to get to know the character and see how they interact with others"
Theme Songs: Not required, but I do find that it helps to get me into the characters muse when I feel like writing them. there can be many, or only one of these, it's whatever speaks to the character.
Voice: What does the characters voice sound like? do they have a very soft, feminine voice? Or a rough and gravely one? Not required.

Age: How Old are they? Keep in mind most of Millennium are Artificial vampires, Ghouls, or not human at all. It is unlikely there are any humans among them. some may even be science experiments like schro!

Birth Month & Year: When were they born? (Hellsing is set in the 1990's/2000's)

Pets: Do they have a cat? A snake? Any animals? If so, what? Do they have names?

.:History:.
Background: Originally from Romania, she was a Roma, or a Gypsy whose troupe had traveled to Germany, only to become stranded during the War. Captured at 17, sent to a concentration camp. Taken by Millennium from what remained in her troupe to become one of their experiments. Proved to be a failure in terms of compatibility with the freak-chip or vampireism. Was later turned over to Doc for further experiments. At the age of 19, was turned into L.I.F.E, and given the name Ignium Lillium- Latin for Fire Orchid. Since then she is kept under close watch and escorted by The Captain Hans to make sure she does not try to flee, as she manages to burn out the freak chips implanted into her after experimentation. Collar is created to keep her chained to Millennium short of their death after she attempted to murder Doc. Kept under even closer watch and currently resides in a cell under The Captains Guard.
