Biography
Enrico Maxwell (Japanese: エンリコ・マクスウェル, Hepburn: Enriko Makusuweru) was a male human who as a small child lived at Ferdinand Luke's which was an orphanage outside Rome. It was said that his parents had abandoned him, likely because he was the 'son of a mistress'. During that time, he came under the care of Father Alexander Anderson who tried to raise the boy as well as he could in those years. However, the young Enrico grew up to be angry and spiteful where he was determined to become someone that no one would look down upon. Over time, he came to rise through the ranks of the Catholic Church where he was promoted to the rank of bishop, and then very quickly to archbishop by the Pope. He eventually became the fanatical leader of the Vatican's Special Section XIII, the Iscariot Organization which he controlled with an iron fist. However, his seemingly blind devotion to his mission often makes his underling Father Anderson question his motivations.
During the standoff between Alucard and the Millennium led police force in Rio de Janeiro, Anderson watches the scene unfold on the news with a sense of indignation and fury, while Enrico seems to revel in the ensuing violence. Enrico also has a bitter rivalry with Integra Hellsing, Bureau Director of the Hellsing Organization, due to their similar occupations and differing ideologies.
He was given command of the remnants of the Christian armies from the Holy Crusades, which consists of over 3,000 knights clad in medieval armor and wielding an assortment of heavy weapons with which to attack Millennium. However, he became so drunk with power that he decided London's Protestant survivors also deserved to die, and commanded his men to kill them as well. Eventually, Alucard's undead army overran his own. Enrico's helicopter was shot down by Rip Van Winkle (who at this point was a familiar under the command of Alucard), but it was Anderson who broke the armored glass protecting him, leaving Enrico to be impaled by Alucard's men. Anderson commented that Enrico had become drunk with power and rather fought for his own goals and pleasure rather than for the sake of the Vatican. With this act, Anderson felt that Enrico had become an enemy of the Vatican and needed to be killed.
