Van Helsing is a singular character.
He is a famous doctor who is introduced in the story by Dr Seward.
Dr Seward calls Van Helsing because he doesn't know Lucy's illness and he isn't able to save her. Van Helsing is the only one who understands the reason of Lucy's illness.
He shows to know many aspects of Dracula and he knows what they have to do to destroy the vampire. In fact he becomes a sourt of head of the group and he organizes the actions against the count coordinating the movements of the other.
But Van Helsing is a man of action too. Meanwhile the men follow Dracula to kill him, Van Helsing goes with Mina to Dracula's castle and he kills the three women destroying all vampires.
His role in the story is very important; he represents the knowledge, he's the only one who knows what they are fighting and the way to fight him; he is the one who gives the means to destroy the threat.
Van Helsing is the mind of the group.
