;; personality
general;;The way he grew made him a mysterious man, because the order he works for set him some rules since the beginning. He had no choice but to learn to keep a secret at all costs for both his sake and order's. Neither his job nor his presence should be ever known though during his holy mission, he accidentally revealed himself to the people. Besides this, he is a loyal man to his order, to the good side that he presented but it would be a matter of discussion how much he really did care when his temper goes rather bad. Another one of the most outstanding personality of his that the reputation that nearly always coming along with him or when the reputation get passed him before he reached to the place that he would fight evil. And important thing that he has a mercy for some who does no evil, did not do no evil. Rather than killing it, he opt for siding with them to vanquish evil as one, as together. Even to his enemies, if he sees a good side, he offers his help and the order's.

;; origins
general;;The full details of Van Helsing's past are a mystery even to him. According to all sources, he was found in 1882, lying on the steps of Vatican City, half-dead, and with no memories whatsoever of his life prior to that moment. The only hints to his past were a strange ring he wore on his left little finger, marked by a seal that resembled a dragon, and vague memories of fighting Romans in Masada. However, the fact that the fight in question took place in 73 A.D. does leave several unanswered questions...
Whatever his past concealed, he was taken in by the Knights of the Holy Order, an elite group dedicated to fighting the forces of darkness that existed in the world, and trained to be one of their warriors against the darkness. Over the course of the next few years, Van Helsing became a master of skills that made him more than a match for any foe from either the human world or the world of the supernatural, tracking down several of the more dangerous monsters of the era. However, he started to hate his job fairly quickly; to everyone back in the Vatican, his subjects may be monsters, but whenever he killed them, he had to watch as they turned back into the men they were before they were changed. However, the Knights refused to let him go, despite the (to them) rather annoying detail that Van Helsing commonly killed his opponents despite explicit orders to bring them back for possible treatment for their conditions.
In London in 1889, he faced the murderous brute known as Mr.Hyde. He pursued the killer when he fled to France, eventually confronting him atop Notre Dame Cathedral, where he slew his foe. With the local authorities searching for him, Van Helsing snuck out the city, though not before he encountered Dr.Moreau deep in the catacombs beneath Paris, where the mad doctor was experimenting with both the merging of man and beast and with a deceased English scientist's invisibility formula. The meeting ended inconclusively; though Van Helsing shut down his unholy experiments, Moreau escaped, planning to start anew elsewhere, most probably on a remote island where he would not be interrupted again.
Van Helsing returned to the Vatican for his next assignment, and was sent to Transylvania to assist the Valerious family in vanquishing their old adversary, Count Dracula. According to legend, Dracula had been created by an unwitting Valerious the Elder back in the fifteenth century, and he had vowed that his family would never get into Heaven until Dracula had been destroyed. Since Valerious the Elder had vanished almost a year ago, and his son Velkan had also recently gone missing, the only Valerious left was Anna Valerious, a beautiful fighter determined to stop Dracula. Determined not to let the Valerious' be trapped in Purguatory, the Knights sent Van Helsing to Transylvania to fight Dracula, along with Carl, a friar who developed most of Van Helsing's weaponry for his missions.

;; roleplaying
sample;;
Two riders got into a town, interestingly quite but as mysterious as Van Helsing had never seen before. Though he would not really mind, what the town would be like because he was sent to this Transylvania to eliminate Dracula by the order. He tilted his black hat a bit low with his finger in a way to cover his eyes possibly preventing from a far view and chance of being assaulted somehow. With another long gaze at the gloomy town, he briefly rolled his eyes to see what Carl was up to. After all, it was Carl's first mission with him so Gabe had to take care of the friar's life more than his own which he never was fond of, anyway.
