Van

Van is the primary protagonist of the series. He is traveling the world searching after a mysterious man with an artificial claw hand who killed his bride Helena on the day of their wedding. Van swore to kill this man to avenge Helena. His primary weapon is a shapememory cloth held at his side like a pistol. This can change the configuration to a dueling sword or extend to grapple or embed itself into walls. Van can also spin it in place from its hilt at high speed to act as an efficient shield against projectiles.
