Valkenhayn R. Hellsing

Valkenhayn Hellsing is Rachel's elderly butler and trusted adviser who has served the Alucard family line for generations. He is a currently-unannounced DLC character for Continuum Shift, backed up by his artwork and in-game music being found within the games files.

Information
He possesses a sharp wit and is concerned for Rachel's well-being. Valkenhayn seems to be worried about Rachel associating with things below her class (particularly Ragna, although others might apply), but he always acts in a sophisticated and gentlemanly manner. Judging from comments frequently dropped by Rachel, he seems to have once been a vigilante himself.

He seems to know of Hazama well enough to recognize him on sight, even though Terumi can change shape. He has an existing friendship with Jubei and is brave enough to attack Terumi on sight.

According to the BlazBlue Material Collection, he is one of the Six Heroes and an exceptionally strong fighter, although so far he hasn't been shown fighting within the series.

Trivia

 * Valkenhayn's last name Hellsing may be a reference to the anime and manga Hellsing, in which one of the primary characters is a vampire named Alucard.
 * Valkenhayn's last name may also be a reference to the fictional vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
 * Valkenhayn's Japanese voice actor, coincidentally, has voiced characters in several vampire series including both Vampire Hunter D movies and the anime adaptation of Hellsing as Walter (who was also a butler like Valkenhayn)
