Early Life
The London Assignment
Whilst undergoing a routine training at the Vatican, Van Helsing was summoned by his superiors to undergo a mission to London where a number of mysterious deaths relating to young women occured. He was told to attempt to forgive whatever creature was causing the deaths, something he did not agree with. He was dispatched along with his friend the friar Carl and went to London where he encountered the creature called Mr Hyde just as he killed a young woman. Throwing her body at the monster hunter, the creature fled leaving the police to find the dead woman in Van Helsing's arm leading them to believe he was the mysterious killer which forced him to flee. He tried to locate Mr Hyde by lost his tracks after the monster washed his legs with whatever liquid Van Helsing was tracking him with.
Later, he orchestrated a plan to draw out whatever monster was killing the women. This involved Carl being dressed up as a lady walking the streets which drew the creature out. As it attempted to kill the friar, Van Helsing struck leading to a short battle between the two where the creature disappeared into the underground railway. Whilst moving through the compartments, he saw the feet of the monster and attempted to kill it only to find an old man. Apologising, he turned his back and was struck by the man who ingested a liquid which transformed him into Mr Hyde once more. They two fought with Van Helsing being repeatedly beaten due to the creatures larger size and strength. It attempted to escape by separating the train from one another but Van Helsing used a well aimed bullet to divert the train to an incomplete track causing it to slam into the wall and send the creature flying away.
Tracking Mr Hyde, Van Helsing encountered Carl once again and the two entered the sewers whilst searching for the monster. They discovered that the trail led them into the creatures hide out which was an underground castle with a moat of fire. After crossing the moat, Van Helsing and Carl came under attack from demonic skeletal creatures. Carl managed to take out a gun containing holy water but one of the undead forced him to drop it into the moat which transformed into cleansing blue flames that destroyed the beasts. Ascending into the castle, they encountered a young woman who demanded that Van Helsing leave. The monster hunter was astonished to discover that the woman was infact Queen Victoria who had been enthralled by Mr Jekyl's potions turning her young with the intention of marrying her. He attempted to convince her of the truth when Mr Jekyl attacked and took her away.
Mission to Transylvania
Upon returning to the Vatican, Gabriel Van Helsing had grown disgusted by killing monsters that turned into humans in their last moments. However, he was given a new mission to journey to the Transylvania and assist the Valerious family; a close ally of the Vatican. Their last son was slain by the vampire Count Dracula leaving his sister as the sole surviving member. If she were to die before killing Dracula then their entire family would be cursed and never enter heaven. Taking his equipment along with Carl, Van Helsing journeyed across the sea to he dark lands of Transylvania.
Going deeper into Dracula's castle, he found Frankenstein's monster and attempted to free the creature as bolts of lightning struck him which was giving life to the vampire's undead offspring. As he was doing this, he came under attack from Dracula himself who, angered by Gabriel attempt at stopping his plan, turned into his demonic form. With his offspring now alive, Dracula told Van Helsing that nothing could stop them except his death at which point Van Helsing noted the time on the clock and transformed into a werewolf. In this form, he proved to be an equal if not superior to Dracula and ripped the vampire's throat thus killing him as well as his progeny. Anna Valerious arrived at this point to save him but the werewolf Van Helsing was lost in his beastly form and attacked her which killed her but not before she managed to inject him with the antidote thus turning him back to human.
