Biography
Incognito was a powerful true born male vampire who hailed from the Dark Continent. Much of his early history was unknown except that he was a powerful supernatural creature who had learnt much of the dark arts. Furthermore, it was stated that he fell in service to unknown human masters and worked with them in creating FREAKS. These were artificial vampires created by the implantation of chips into their bodies with himself being used as the source code for their creation. Thus, indirectly, he was responsible for the growth of a large number of FREAKS in the United Kingdom that began terrorising the local population. The reason for this was unknown though it was said that his actions were fulfilling his human masters desires. Upon his arrival in England, the vampire Alucard was noted to had sensed his presence and showed glee in that he sensed his power to the point that he finally believed he found a worthy opponent to face. Incognito spent his time watching the actions of the Hellsing Organization before later starting his operations in the Baobhan Castle that was later attacked by the secret society. However, a tip off was given to the SAS who were informed that terrorists from the IRA were within the castle and thus forced the Hellsing Organization to depart. As the SAS 22nd Regiment went into the castle, they were all defeated by Incognito who turned the entire unit into FREAKS. He even spoke to one member of the unit and convinced him to accept the gift of becoming a vampire whereupon the FREAK chips entered the humans body and completed the process.
Afterwards, he intended to eliminate the head of the Hellsing family by calling upon the services of the Baobhan Sith called Bubbancy. He gave her the instructions to infiltrate the Hellsing Organization and turn Sir Integra Hellsing into a ghoul. To that end, Bubbancy used her bypnotic powers to make all humans around her believe that she was Sir Integra's sister despite the fact that she had no siblings. Whilst Bubbancy was in the process of killing Sir Integra, Incognito entered the Hellsing manor where he met with Alucard who had sensed his presence. Alucard asked for the mysterious vampires name to which he responded by saying Incognito with his opponent saying that his own name was a bit of an enigma. Immediately, Alucard knew that Incognito served a human master just like himself with the two exchanging weapon fire from man made guns. However, Incognito revealed his plan to eliminate Sir Integra and departed the mansion. His plan ultimately failed as whilst critically wounded by Bubbancy, Alucard managed to arrive in time to eliminate the Baobhan Sith and save his master.
Aware of the potential threat that Helena could pose to his plans, Incognito attacked and devoured her. Despite Incognito's power, Helena was able to force her way partly free of Incognito's body and provide information to Seras Victoria before being beheaded and killed. Aware of the trap at the Tower of London, Incognito then decided to turn the tables on the Hellsing forces by causing a fierce battle against each other which has drawn the attention of the British army and thus framing the Hellsing Organisation as terrorists. Multiple Hellsing Soldiers died because of him and Alucard sensed something was very wrong, thus leaving Integra to pursue Incognito. Alucard and a Hellsing Member, Chris Pickman formed a duo and killed multiple Incognito's S.A.S Ghouls, shortly before Seras Victoria, who witnessed Peter Fargason's death and in a fit of rage comes in with the Harkonnen and kills multiple S.A.S Ghouls as well, including Paul Wilson who she killed with one of Harkonnen's bullet by slamming it on him mouth. Alucard, after being forced to shoot Chris enters the Tower of London to confront Incognito, who was waiting for him. Both of them get's ready with Incognito pulling out his Grenade Launcher and releases his Dark Magic powers and Alucard pulling out the Jackal and releasing Level 2. Incognito shoots at Alucard but Alucard dodges it and shoots back with the Jackal which blows Incognito's shoulder. Incognito however, encourages Alucard to attack him and manages to scars Alucard's cheek. Incognito was caught off-guard when Alucard instantly ran towards him after getting scarred. He then shoots Incognito's head and thought that he won, until he realizes that Incognito tricked him. Incognito has planned this from the very beginning and Alucard calls him "cunning". Incognito taunts Alucard and gets up while slashing Alucard, who could not move, 3 times. Alucard saw Seras with the Jackal's ammo, and tells her to run. Seras however came to disobey him and ended up getting heavily injured by Incognito's dark magic.
Incognito laughs and taunts Alucard, Alucard responding angrily, saying that he will send him to the bottom of Judecca, saying that he should lick Satan's ass down there. He uses his telekinesis power to grab the Jackal's magazine. He pulls the trigger at Incognito's head once again, but, Incognito simply phased his head becoming temporarily invulnerable. Incognito proceeds to telekinetically hurl the Jackal's bullets back at Alucard, giving him a "taste of his own blessed silver". As Alucard dies, he tells Seras that she should've listened to him. Seras tries to drink Alucard's blood and Incognito tells Seras that it won't do anything by drinking his blood. He then kidnaps Integra and prepares for a ritual to summon Sett, and was successful. Though Integra already told Alucard to release Level 1, his most powerful form. Alucard uses the blood of the fallen Hellsing Soldiers to heal and then teleports behind Incognito and proceeds to taunt him. An annoyed and angry Incognito then commands Sett to strike Alucard, but Alucard dodges Sett and is immediately impressed by Incognito, complimenting his powers. Incognito curses Alucard after he holds Sett's mouth and taunts Incognito while Sett is blasting him. Incognito sees an eye and then two Baskerville heads coming out of Alucard and proceeds to attack Baskerville, causing a huge explosion that sends them both to the sky.
