Valkenhayn R. Hellsing

Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, sometimes known as the Silver Wolf, is the eternally loyal servant of Rachel Alucard. He is one of the Six Heroes who fought against the Black Beast during the Dark War and a former Immortal Breaker, having worked with Relius Clover in his youth. After being saved by Clavis Alucard, Valkenhayn swore his loyalty to the Alucard Clan, keeping his oath for over a century.

Originally, Valkenhayn appeared as an NPC in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and was made playable as the second DLC character for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift.

Variable Heart
Valkenhayn accompanied Rachel when she teleported Mai Natsume, Shiori Kirihito, Kajun Faycott, Bell, Taro Sasaga'e, and Taro away from Meifang Lapislazuli and the Wings of Justice. He was particularly angry with Ragna's attitude towards Rachel, and threw him away to an unknown location through one of her teleportation portals.

Central Fiction
Like the rest of the cast, Valkenhayn was absorbed into the Embryo, had his memories altered, and believed that the date was 12/31/2199. He found Rachel in her room, and entered with Nago and Gii. Rachel’s memories were unaffected, and he told her to rest as she was rapidly losing her power, although he could not remember why. The lycanthrope noticed an uncomfortable feeling about the world he was in. He was sent to Ikaruga by Nine, and told to kill Izanami in order to secure his piece of the Azure. He found Rachel, and begged her to return to the castle lest she disappear from the world. She repelled the idea and asked that he spy on the other chosen, and return to her at intervals giving information back on who they are and what they are doing – the old lycanthrope complied, although he came back to his mistresses’ side when he saw her battling against Naoto Kurogane. He was about to attack the young man but he was teleported away.

Sometime later, Valkenhayn had lost Rachel, and began searching for her; during his search, he came across Hakumen, realising that the knight had not lost his memories. Hakumen gave him some advice, telling him that he cannot stop Rachel’s headstrong attitude. He found his mistress later on and met Ragna, asking the Grim Reaper to hold his tongue when he called her weak. He did not prevent him from leaving. In due time, Valkenhayn learnt that killing Amane Nishiki, the current Onlooker of the world, may restore power to back to Rachel, its former Onlooker. He found him atop the Altar and they fought, but the lycanthrope, as a being outside Logic, could not kill him. Amane asked Valkenhayn about his loyalty – was it to the promise he made Clavis years ago to protect Rachel, or is to Rachel herself? He answered the latter and was told about Ragna’s plan to save the world and create a new possibility where Rachel would still live. On the outside of the Embryo, Valkenhayn took Rachel away from Ragna after watching them share a tender embrace, and he and his mistress soon returned to seithr.

In the new world created by Ragna, Valkenhayn was seen preparing tea for Rachel for when she would return to the Alucard Castle.
