A snuff film depicting an apparent vampiric assault on a man surfaced online, rapidly attracting media interest. An analysis conducted by Walter C. Ddollneazz uncovered that the person recording the film has the Hellsing Organisation insignia on his shoulder, prompting Integral Hellsing to deploy Seras Victoria under the command of Gareth Henderson's replacement, Brian Steadler, to investigate the film and determine the identity of those responsible for its distribution in order to prevent additional broadcasts that could reveal Hellsing's true identity.
