n33:abstract

Abraham was born into a Catholic Dutch family in the mid 1800s. As he came into adulthood he married and settled down to start a family as he studied several fields of science, medicine, physics, and psychology. His family was wracked with tragedy when Van Helsing's only son passed away. The passing drove his wife mad to the point that she became dead to Abraham, yet his status as a devout Catholic prevented him from divorcing her. Abraham continued his academic studies to receive degrees and doctorates in several fields including medicine, philosophy, and scientific study. In the course of his career, Van Helsing became a professor and took on students. Among these students is a John Seward who would one day become a doctor himself. During an incident involving a knife that had come into contact with gangrene, Van Helsing was cut and poisoned by it. Thinking quick, Seward sucked the poison out and saved Abraham, a favor he wouldn't soon forget. In the novel Dracula, Van Helsing is called in by his former student, Dr. John Seward, to assist with the mysterious illness of Lucy Westenra. Van Helsing's friendship with Seward is based in part upon an unknown prior event in which Van Helsing suffered a grievous wound and Seward saved his life by sucking out the gangrene. It is Van Helsing who first realizes that Lucy is the victim of a vampire and he guides Dr. Seward and his friends in their efforts to save Lucy. In the novel, from the annotations of Leonard Wolf, it is mentioned that Van Helsing had a son who died. Van Helsing says that his son, had he lived, would have had a similar appearance to another character, Arthur Holmwood. Consequently, Van Helsing developed a particular fondness of Holmwood. Van Helsing's wife went insane after their son's death, but as a devout Catholic, he refuses to divorce her. ("with my poor wife dead to me, but alive by Church's law, though no wits, all gone, even I, who am faithful husband to this now-no-wife ...") Van Helsing is one of the few characters in the novel who is fully physically described in one place. In chapter 14, Mina Murray describes him as: "a man of medium weight, strongly built, with his shoulders set back over a broad, deep chest and a neck well balanced on the trunk as the head is on the neck. The poise of the head strikes me at once as indicative of thought and power. The head is noble, well-sized, broad, and large behind the ears. The face, clean-shaven, shows a hard, square chin, a large resolute, mobile mouth, a good-sized nose, rather straight, but with quick, sensitive nostrils, that seem to broaden as the big bushy brows come down and the mouth tightens. The forehead is broad and fine, rising at first almost straight and then sloping back above two bumps or ridges wide apart, such a forehead that the reddish hair cannot possibly tumble over it, but falls naturally back and to the sides. Big, dark blue eyes are set widely apart, and are quick and tender or stern with the man's moods.” Van Helsing's personality is described by John Seward, his former student, thus: “He is a seemingly arbitrary man, this is because he knows what he is talking about better than any one else. He is a philosopher and a metaphysician, and one of the most advanced scientists of his day, and he has, I believe, an absolutely open mind. This, with an iron nerve, a temper of the ice-brook, and indomitable resolution, self-command, and toleration exalted from virtues to blessings, and the kindliest and truest heart that beats, these form his equipment for the noble work that he is doing for mankind, work both in theory and practice, for his views are as wide as his all-embracing sympathy.” In the novel, Van Helsing is described with what is apparently a thick German accent, in that his English is broken, and he uses various German phrases like "Mein Gott". Though his name is Dutch and he receives the telegram in Amsterdam there is no given explanation for the German accent, as a result many films depict the character as being German instead of Dutch, despite the Dutch name and having received the telegram in Amsterdam. Adaptations of the novel have tended to play up Van Helsing's role as the vampire professional-expert, sometimes to the extent that it is depicted as his major occupation. In the novel, however, Dr. Seward is unaware of this side of his old friend and requests Van Helsing's assistance simply because Lucy's affliction has him baffled and Van Helsing "knows as much about obscure diseases as any one in the world." Indeed, Van Helsing takes too much time (weeks and months) to recognise Lucy's illness, and seems to have no practical knowledge about vampires. Until her funeral, he tells no one his theory of Lucy's death. Count Dracula, having acquired ownership of England’s Carfax estate through solicitor Jonathan Harker, moved to the estate and began menacing England. His victims included Lucy Westenra, who lived in Whitby. The aristocratic girl has suitors such as John Seward, Arthur Holmwood, and Quincey Morris, and has a best friend in Mina Murray, Jonathan Harker’s fiancée. Seward, who worked as a doctor in an insane asylum — where one of the patients, the incurably mad Renfield, secretly serves Dracula — contacts Van Helsing about Lucy Westenra’s peculiar loss of blood. Van Helsing, recognizing the mark of the vampire, tries to save Lucy, but she dies and returns as a vampire. Eventually, Van Helsing and a heartbroken Arthur destroy the vampiric Lucy. Van Helsing and his band of vampire hunters pursue Dracula back to Transylvania. There, they chase him down the Borgo Pass and corner him. Armed with knives, Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris slit Dracula's throat and impale his heart. Dracula's body then crumbles to dust. Later, Van Helsing takes a grandfatherly role in regard to the young Quincey Harker, Jonathan and Mina's son. Dr. Abraham Van Helsing is a Dutch doctor with a wide range of interests and accomplishments, partly attested by the string of letters that follows his name: "M.D., D.Ph., D.Litt., etc., etc." The character is best known as a vampire hunter, and the arch-enemy of Count Dracula. He is an ancestor of Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing.

In the 2004 film, "Van Helsing". Portrayed by Hugh Jackman in this film with some differences from the Stoker character. Known as Gabrial Van Helsing he is a much younger version who works for a group called the Knights of the Holey Order who hunt evil monsters and vanquished them from the Earth established by the Pope. Van Helsing has faced many enemies even a monstrous Mr. Hyde who he defeated in Paris in Notre Dame but after so many killing he is passed off as a murderer and became the most wanted man in Europe. After facing Mr. Hyde he is sent on a new assignment to hunt the evil Count Dracula, the lord of all vampires. With is sidekick Carl Van Helsing heads to Translyvannia to help Anna Valerous fight against snarrling Werewolves, the monsterous Frankenstien Monster, Count Dracula's three evil vampire brides, and the master of all evil himself, the dark lord of vampires, Count Dracula. Professor Abraham Van Helsing is a vampire hunter created by Bram Stoker in 1897 for the novel Dracula. Professor Abraham van Helsing is the protagonist from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula. Van Helsing is a Dutch doctor with a wide range of interests and accomplishments, partly attested by the string of letters that follows his name: "M.D., D.Ph., D.Litt., etc." The character is best known as a vampire hunter, and the arch-enemy of Count Dracula. Abraham Van Helsing was a famous vampire hunter who founded the town of Petit Chauve Sourie Ville. Vincent Van Helsing is his great-great-great-grandson. Abraham Van Helsing, MD, D.ph, D.lit, etc, etc, is one of the main protagonists in the film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) is the mentor of Dr. John Seward (Richard E. Grant) and first gets involved after his pupil summons him to Lucy Westenra's manor in England to help diagnose an unknown ailment. Van Helsing is a man with seemingly unlimited qualifications and titles including but not limited to Doctor, Professor, and Vampire Hunter. When he is called to help diagnose Lucy Westenra, he immediately recognizes that she is suffering due to vampire attacks. He orders her suitors to start blood transfusions to keep her alive and decorates her with garlic. After Lucy's eventual death, Van Helsing recognizes that she will soon rise from the dead and gathers a hunting party consisting of Quincey Morris (Billy Campbell), Arthur Holmwood (Cary Elwes), John Seward, and himself. When the party encounters Lucy as a member of the walking dead holding a child she intends to feed off of, Van Helsing shows off how deep his knowledge of vampire slaying really is. Van Helsing holds up a Christian cross and recites a religious line forcing Lucy the vampire back into her grave. He then hands off a stake to Arthur who is instructed to drive it deep into her heart. Finally Helsing uses a sword to decapitate the injured vampire, finishing her off for good and completing the display of knowledge and power Helsing holds over the undead. Later the professor leads his fellow protagonists to Carafax Abbey where they destroy the soil Dracula sleeps in to restore his powers every night. After the count escapes the abbey, Abraham along with Jonathon Harker (Keanu Reeves) lead the chase for the final encounter with Count Dracula which takes place in front of his manor. The count is injured due to a slash to the neck and a stake in the chest and retreats into his estate followed closely by Mina Harker (Winona Ryder). After a dialogue the heroine finishes off her old lover using the technique unveiled earlier by Dr. Helsing, driving the stake fully through his heart, killing Dracula for good.
