Some fun facts gleaned from these early prototype character profiles by Hirano, from a 1997 issue of Young King OURS:
Integra’s supposed Indian heritage is not merely a write-in by Studio Gonzo, as her character description here mentions her skin tone as being “that of an Indian”
The way her full title is spelled (インテグラル and not インテグラ) suggests that Integral is her full name and Integra is more of a nickname
In addition to Hellsing Director, her other titles include “magician, religious scholar, and vampire hunter, dubbed by some as the reincarnation of Mrs. Blavatsky”
Alucard’s name, thought to be inspired by the Castlevania franchise, actually originates from a choose-your-own-adventure novel by Irish author J. H. Brennan (the same fake name Alucard uses at Rio).
Alucard’s shades may be inspired by the titular characters of the manga Eat-Man and the film Léon.
Because he can transform into fog, bats, insects, etc., Alucard’s height and weight are listed as “0 kg ~ around 100 kg (220lb)” and “198cm (6′6′’) ~ 1cm” (lol)
