Evan Edrok


 * "Baam! It's a test that he must face!!"


 * - Evan to Ha Yuri Zahard

Evan Edrok (에반 에드록, Ehbahn Edeurok; "Evan Edrok") is a High Ranker as well the Chief Guide of Zahard Royalty, which is a unique position in the Tower. He always seems to follow his partner, Ha Yuri Zahard.

His sobriquet is The Fast Ship (자하드 왕가 수석 길잡이 빠른배, Jahad Wahngga Sooseok Giljahbi Bbareunbae, Jahad Royal Senior Guide Fast Boat). His ranking is in the top 100 amongst the one hundred thousand Rankers present in the Tower. However, as he is a Guide (길잡이, Giljahbi; "one who chooses and leads the way"), so his battle abilities are quite low.

Appearance/Personality
Evan is a man with an extremely short stature. He has silver hair and milkish colored skin. He switches between outfits during travel, sometimes wearing black overalls which cover his body up to his mouth while at other times a green explorer's jacket. Yuri Zahard, his partner, always makes fun of his height as being too short.

He generally maintains a cautious and serious demeanor but can also be blunt at times. He seems to have a penchant for calling people names when he becomes annoyed. Evan loses his temper rather often while guiding Yuri and her company.

History
Evan has climbed The Tower many years ago and has become a Ranker ever since. He has forgotten the reason why he climbed The Tower.

Tower of God: Part 1
Evan made his first appearance in chapter 2, in which he and Lady Yuri climbed down the stairs to the First Floor to meet Baam. Despite his warning about Irregulars, Yuri adamantly revealed herself. Then, Yuri forced Evan to give Baam an A-grade Pocket since Headon had not provided one. The test Baam had to pass was a Ball test, in which he had to get past a white Steel Eel and pop a ball. Even though Evan knew the way to pass the test, he couldn't teach it to Baam, because the knowledge was useless without necessary courage and determination. Fortunately, Baam successfully used Evan's method to get past the eel, without Evan even telling him, much to his and Yuri's amazement. However, the ball did not pop even when Baam pierced it with the Black March. Evan then told Baam to ask the needle for help, which Baam did sucessfully, Igniting the Black March. Baam blew up the Ball and was sent to the next floor.

In his next appearance in Ch 25, Evan was working with the team from Walhaiksong that Yuri had assembled to retrieve her Black March. They were on an unknown Floor, as part of their journey from the 77th Floor to the 2nd Floor. During part of Yuri's conversation with Kurudan, she mentioned that she would give his Wing Tree to Baam. And when Evan overheard their conversation, his thoughts were "Lady Yuri, it's not a matter you should be accepting on a whim. He is dangerous. Very dangerous."



During the Submerged Fish Test, Yuri and co. were scattered throughout the 2F testing area. Evan and Kurudan confronted Yu Han Sung, bluntly telling him that they were going to take back the Black March. Much to Evan's chagrin, he agreed easily, though no further arguments were made.

As Yuri goes on a rampage on the testing arena, Evan reminds her that the remainder of the test is for Baam to take alone. On his way to meet with Yuri after Kurudan had dealt with Ren, he appears to be shocked to see Hwa Ryun when she walked past him.

Powers and Abilities
He managed to fall down a bottomless chasm and survive, hinting his worth as someone worthy of the Top 100.

The tolerance to put up with Yuri Zahard.
