About Van Helsing

Van Helsing was an angel that regarded as “The Left Hand of God.” He became human when he descended to Earth to fight battles. He met Count Vladislaus Dracula while he was under the service of the Knights of the Holy Order. They became close friends, but for unknown reasons, Van Helsing killed Dracula. Because of this, God erased Van Helsing’s memories as punishment. For the next 400 years, Van Helsing wandered around the world until he ended up half-dead on the steps of the Vatican after a battle.

The archangel Gabriel had immense powers capable of destroying entire cities. He became powerless, however, when he assumed human form as Van Helsing even though his physical abilities are higher than the average human. He was gifted with longevity, allowing him to live for hundreds and even thousands of years. He also has enhanced strength, speed, durability, and superior combat and weaponry skills that were evident in battle.
