ProfessorAbraham Van Helsing (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈaːbraːɦɑm vɑn ˈhɛlsɪŋ]) is a fictional character from the 1897 gothic horror novelDracula written by Bram Stoker. Van Helsing is a Dutch polymath doctor with a wide range of interests and accomplishments, partly attested by the string of letters that follows his name: "MD, D.Ph., D.Litt., etc.", indicating a wealth of experience, education and expertise. He is a doctor, professor, lawyer, philosopher, scientist, and metaphysician. The character is best known through many adaptations of the story as a vampireslayer, monster hunter and the arch-nemesis of CountDracula, and the prototypical and the archetypical parapsychologist in subsequent works of paranormalfiction. Some later works tell new stories about Van Helsing, while others, such as Dracula (2020) and I Woke Up a Vampire (2023) have characters that are his descendants.
