Gabriel Van Helsing is the titular main protagonist of the 2004 film Van Helsing.
Suffering from memory loss, Van Helsing is a legendary monster hunter believed to be immortal, as he has stated to have several dreams of ancient battles long ago. He fights the infamous Count Dracula, and must become that which he fights in order to vanquish Dracula. He is assisted by Carl, a friar and weapons specialist, and Anna Valerious, the last living member of the Valerious clan and his love-interest. In reality, he is none other than the Archangel Gabriel, cast down to Earth and stripped of his powers.

In the 1880s, Van Helsing's memory is taken from him as punishment for past sins, and he is soon found half-dead on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica, which happens to be the secret headquarters of the Knights of the Holy Order, a secret society dedicated to protecting Earth from all evil. Knowing that he was sent by God, Cardinal Jinette takes him in and hires him to kill evil creatures for them. By 1888, Van Helsing is the most wanted man in Europe, labelled a murderer by society as many of the evil creatures that he killed have reverted to their former human forms in death.

In the 2004 film Van Helsing, Gabriel Van Helsing's werewolf form is a massive, heavily muscled bipedal apex predator that stands over 8 feet tall.
His appearance is defined by several distinct physical characteristics:
Jet-Black Fur: Unlike the other werewolves in the film (which feature grey or brown coats), Van Helsing's wolf form is covered in thick, pitch-black fur.
Bodybuilder Physique: His build directly reflects his formidable human warrior physique, pushing the limits of wolf anatomy with highly defined musculature, including prominent pecs, biceps, and a clear six-pack.
Lupine Anatomy: He features long limbs, digitigrade hind legs, elongated claws, and an expressive, monstrously broad lupine head with large, razor-sharp fangs.

In the 2004 film Van Helsing, Gabriel Van Helsing's personality is defined by a brooding, hyper-vigilant demeanor masking a deeply moral and devout soul. Stripped of his past memories, he lives a lonely, solitary life of wandering, constantly operating like "prey expecting an ambush".
His core personality traits include:
Sorrowful and Devout: Though he feels slight contempt for the political machinations of the church, he is an inherently pious man dedicated to doing God's work. He is deeply troubled by the public viewing him as a murderous vigilante, and he frequently asks the church for forgiveness to cleanse his conscience after his brutal hunts.
Pragmatic and Calm Under Pressure: True to an ISTP personality type, Van Helsing is an ultimate realist who maintains a cool head in terrifying situations. He relies heavily on his highly observant nature, problem-solving skills, and a massive arsenal of specialized weaponry to tackle supernatural threats.
Reluctant Heroism: He doesn't hunt out of a bloodthirsty desire for glory, but rather out of a heavy sense of mandatory duty. His innate empathy is highlighted when he refuses to slay Frankenstein's Monster, recognizing that despite the creature's monstrous appearance, "evil does not rule it".
Dry, Guarded Humor: While generally silent, stoic, and grim, he occasionally displays a dry sense of humor, particularly when trading witty banter with his eccentric friar companion, Carl.
