Description
Chris Pickman is a supporting character from the Hellsing anime television series. He holds the rank of Captain within the Hellsing Organization's Special Military Forces, serving as a commander of a Hellsing unit and operating under the direct orders of Peter Fargason. Physically, Pickman is an adult male with brown hair and purple eyes, possessing a normal build with a defined jawline. His uniform consists of a black vest over a green military shirt adorned with the Hellsing badge on the shoulder, brown pockets, green trousers with a knee pad, and combat boots.
As a soldier, Pickman is characterized by his efficiency, discipline, and unshakeable coolness under pressure. He demonstrates no fear even when confronted by overwhelming odds, such as being surrounded by three SAS ghouls who had just killed two members of his crew. This calm and fearless demeanor marks him as a highly respected member of the Hellsing military division. His primary motivation is his duty to Hellsing, and his most defining moment stems from his profound wish to retain his humanity until the very end. He values dying as a human being above all else, showing a deep fear of being turned into a ghoul, a mindless undead creature.
In the story, Pickman first appears leading his men in a raid on Baobhan Castle before encountering interference from the SAS. He later participates in the Battle of the Tower of London against the vampire Incognito and his army of SAS ghouls. During this battle, Pickman fights alongside Alucard, Hellsing’s most powerful vampire. However, he is fatally wounded by a vampire in the conflict. In his final moments, Pickman displays considerable courage and conviction, requesting that Alucard kill him immediately to prevent his transformation into a ghoul, so that he may die as a human. Alucard honors this last request, using the Jackal to dispatch Pickman. As a sign of profound respect, Alucard then places his own red hat on the fallen captain, acknowledging him as a true Hellsing soldier. Pickman’s blood is later used by Alucard to regenerate and ultimately defeat Incognito.
His key relationship is with Alucard, who respects Pickman because of the manner of his death and his unwavering resolve. Alucard dubs him a True Hellsing Soldier, a title that carries significant weight coming from the centuries-old vampire. Pickman is also respected by his own men and his superiors within the organization. In terms of ability, as a Captain of the Hellsing Organization, Chris Pickman is a formidable combatant, though his specific fighting skills are not extensively shown. He is known to be an expert with standard military weapons and his calm, fearless personality is recognized as a significant strength in itself.
