Alright! Let's begin. This chapter, we are going To focus on creating a Hellsing Member 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 Hellsing? What is it's goal?
The Hellsing Organization is formally known as the Royal Order of Protestant Knights. It if a fictional organization founded by Abraham Van Hellsing shortly after the events of Bram Strokers novel "Dracula". The Leader of the Organization is passed down by the Hellsing bloodline. It is tasked with defending the country's shores from any and all supernatural threats, leading to the speculation of it being a Counter-terrorist strike force.
The Hellsing Organization was founded as a response to the thread posed by Vampires and it's purpose is to end all earthly activity of non-human creatures by any means necessary. It is traditionally lead by Abraham Van Hellsings decedents, as they are the only ones who can control the vampire Alucard. After the events of WW2, Alucard was deemed too powerful and dangerous to be used as a weapon and was sealed away in the basement of the Hellsing mansion. Alucard was a vampire captured by Abraham and bound to the Hellsing bloodline, in which experiments were preformed upon him to create the Ultimate weapon against the undead.
The Motto of the group seems to be "We will not give up and despair, we are on a mission from god." This seems to imply that most of the members, like Iscariot, feel they are doing gods work in eliminating supernatural threads from the world.
Hellsing makes up a part of "the Convention of twelve" or "The round Table Conference" it is a society made of individuals of various political, eonomic, and military background who are all loyal to the queen of England. This group essentially runs the British empire for the queen behind the scenes. The Hellsing organization is the head of the Table and all it's leaders have been appointed as Knights, and thus have "sir" before their name.
The Hellsing Organization answers first, and foremost to the Queen of England, and then to the Convention of Twelve.
So all of that being said, Hellsings goal seems to be to protect England and eradicate all things supernatural if they pose a threat. There actually isn't a lot of information on the organization itself. So it makes it kind of hard to know what boundaries one can cross.
What is known about them however, is the Hellsing Leaders position is passed down through the Bloodline, preferably a direct decedent of the Last Leader who has the correct mindset, drive, or qualities as Alucard deems fit. The leader then has to form a pact with Alucard, and Alucard would have to actually accept the person as his new Master. If he deems one unworthy, it is unlikely he would obey and would do as he pleased.
The Majority of Hellsing seems to be compromised entirely of humans, save Alucard and Seras victoria, and religion is never mentioned, they seem more focused on the whole "Pride and honor" Aspect of being able to protect the Queen. They also seem to be more Lax with the supernatural beings seeking to join their ranks- if they prove useful at least or are genuinely willing. But because their is so little detail about how Hellsing works, it is hard to say. However the Queen herself seems to hold Hellsing, and Alucard in high regard.
That being said, It is safe to say that Supernatural beings would be accepted into Hellsing as well as enhanced humans, so long as they swore loyalty to the current leader and the queen of England. And Provided Alucard didn't try to kill them first.
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.
.: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.
Name: The characters name, Obviously! do they have a last name? Is it a name they gave themselves?
Nicknames: Any nicknames? Maybe their 'Title' such as "Countess of Darkness"? What do people call them? Friends? Foes? Frenemies?
Honorific: If they have a specific ranking, what is it? Commander? Squad Leader? Sniper? Sargent?
Age: How Old are they? Keep in mind most of Hellsing are humans, and only a few are not human. That's not to say they won't live for a hundred years or the average human lifespan. Most of Hellsing seems to be in their early twenties.
Birth Month & Year: When were they born? (Hellsing is set in the 1990's/2000's)
Religion: It is assumed that most of Hellsing is Christian/Protestant. Unlike Iscariot, Hellsing doesn't seem to care about religion and instead focuses on it's job of protecting England.

Race: It is assumed Hellsing is Human, or at least genetically Modified humans. This doesn't mean they can't be a vampire or some other such creature. Given that it's Hellsing, they would probably be more inclined to allow non-humans among their ranks.
Powers: If they are not human, and sometimes (in the case of walter) if they are, do they have any powers? If so what?
Pets: Do they have a cat? A snake? Any animals? If so, what? Do they have names?

Do they get along well with their superiors?
Do they have ulterior motives?
Are they human or something else?
Can they handle themselves in a fight against Alucard/big bad/whatever without instantly dying/getting hurt at all? (Yes/yes? Bad, fix it. Yes/No? Good. No/no? Also Good but can also be bad, be careful)
