Van

A tall, lanky wanderer of few words clad in a dark swallowtail tuxedo. His speech is slow, laconic, and unhurried; but when hearing news referring to the clawed man, his disposition shifts to extreme anger. He acquires many titles throughout his travels. His armor is called Dann of Thursday. Women appear to be attracted to him despite the fact he seems, or at least acts like, he can't remember their names and he likes putting all available condiments on his food. His preferred drink is milk, as he doesn't drink alcohol "anymore", but there are occasions when slips up.
