Description
Peter Fargason, also romanized as Fargusen or Fergusson in some materials, is a supporting character in the original Hellsing anime adaptation. He is an older human man, a former captain in the British Army, a veteran soldier, and a father. He serves as the commander of the Hellsing Organization's paramilitary and military forces, making him one of the highest-ranking humans within the group. His short white or grey hair, aged features, and deep voice reflect a long career in uniform.
Fargason's background is rooted in conventional military service before he joined the Hellsing Organization. As a former British Army captain, he brought professional soldiering experience to his role, and he is credited with personally recruiting the members of the mercenary unit known as the Atheists and Heathens, who serve the organization in combat operations. Within the organization, he commands the entire military arm, and his only true superior is Sir Integra Hellsing, although he also follows directives from Alucard.
In terms of personality, Fargason is extremely loyal and highly dependable, having earned Integra's complete trust through many years of faithful service. He is described as a compassionate commander who gives specific operational instructions to each team leader, yet he is also willing to stand on the front lines alongside his men when the situation demands it. Despite his rank, he prefers to fight with his troops rather than direct them solely from a safe position. His motivations center on duty, loyalty to the Hellsing cause, and a genuine commitment to developing effective soldiers.
His role in the story is that of a steady military leader who coordinates the organization's human forces during major engagements. He also works closely with Seras Victoria, serving as her first tactical trainer after she becomes a vampire, and helping to bring out her abilities as a soldier. His key relationships reflect this: he is a trusted subordinate to Integra, a respectful and reliable officer in Alucard's view, a mentor figure to Seras, and a devoted leader to the men under his command.
Fargason possesses no supernatural abilities. His strengths are strictly human: extensive combat experience, tactical knowledge, command skill, and the practical competence of a career soldier. He is capable of organizing complex operations and of holding his own in direct combat with standard military training. His development over the course of the story is not one of dramatic change; instead, he remains a constant, dependable presence who demonstrates his growth through sustained loyalty and through his guidance of newer soldiers like Seras. He is an anime-only character, with his role confined to the television adaptation rather than the original manga continuity.
