Kallavan

Kallavan (칼라반, Calaban) is a High Ranker and also the Commander of the 4th Army Corp of Zahard's Army. He is the main antagonist of the Last Station arc.

History
3000 years ago, after recently becoming a Ranker he fought Ha Jinsung and was still able to stand up after taking a beating from him. Ha Jinsung asked why is such a person with great talent like Kallavan staying in an isolated area. Kallavan is from a village that guards the 'Essence of Bravery' and when another person from the family becomes a Ranker, they fight the person that is currently guarding the gem, and the stronger one will kill the previous guard and will then guard the essence until a stronger ranker from the family appears, and the cycle continues.

Ha Jinsung tells Kallavan that his bloodline already produced the ultimate achievement which is Kallavan himself and that he should be the one to inherit the 'Essence of Bravery'. Later on the same day, Kallvan decides to smash the bronze statue holding the gem and claim the essence for himself. The next time Ha Jinsung saw him, he was already as strong as a High-Ranker. Ha Jinsung suggests Kallavan become a Slayer of FUG, but he kindly refused and that ends their relationship. Kallavan then went on a journey, became a High-Ranker, and started to make a name for himself.

Sobriquet
During his great journey, he fought all kinds of great warriors and made them bow before him. He takes anyone he likes to be his servant and force them to work for him, creating a huge army of followers in the process, hence he is called the 'Human Hunter'.

Appearance and Personality
Kallavan has fair skin, blue eyes, and a blonde coloured mohawk. He wears a long robe with his own insignia on it and chains around his waist.

He is said to be very militaristic amoung Zahard's Army. SIU said he seems to have an overflowing amount of bluffing power which is a quality for a boss. He appears to be a Zahard fanatic, which he believes he can make his dream come true, and also believes Zahard is omnipotent and omniscient as the one true King of the Tower.

Tower of God: Part 2 - The Hell Train
Kallavan and his troops are seen traveling to the Last Station in their warships.

Evankhell
He and his troops were stopped by Ha Jinsung, and was told to come out.

Kallavan
Kallavan was in his warship when Ha Jinsung appeared and said he will destroy his warship with shinsoo cannon from El Robina, a deadly weapon of Zahard's if he doesn't come out. Kallavan tells the third division commander to move all the troops back and said he will beat him. Ha Jinsung calls out on his arrogance and in reply, Kallavan said he is in a position to be more arrogant. He is forced to fight his former teacher, saying he won't lose with his power.

Powers and Abilities
Even in his youth, Kallavan was already powerful enough to survive a battle with Ha Jinsung, a top 100 High Ranker, with Jinsung praising Kallavan's great talent and noting he possessed serious power for someone who had not been a Ranker for a long time. His obtaining the Essence of Bravery, which was guarded for generations, has made him dramatically more powerful to the point that Jinsung was impressed enough he noted Kallavan could have easily became a High Ranker even before he began his centuries of training and offered him to become a Slayer. In the present, Kallavan, after easily becoming a High Ranker and the leader of the fourth division of Zahard's army, was among the most dominant top 100 Rankers, having defeated and recruited many great Rankers and earning such a reputation to the point that even Jinsung was concerned of taking on Kallavan, noting it would be a tough fight even for him. Indeed, Kallavan proved himself a match for Jinsung, even able to pummel him into a bloodied state and destroy his arms, although it should be noted Jinsung was caught off-guard due to expecting Kallavan had died and the fight left Kallavan also visibly battered, but still more than powerful enough to easily toss aside Androssi Zahard and even Baam wielding the power of Black March, easily blocking his Flare Wave Explosion. His mere arrival was enough to inspire the pressured members of Zahard's army and visibly intimidate the likes of Evankhell and Ha Yuri Zahard.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Kallavan is an extremely skilled martial artist, able to compete against Ha Jinsung, one of the most skilled Ha Family members, in hand-to-hand combat, and even able to quickly push him back and deal heavy blows when Jinsung was already battered from taking Kallavan's ultimate technique. Kallavan could also effortlessly block attacks by the Green April that was wielded by Yuri.

Immense Durability and Shinsoo Resistance: Kallavan, while fighting Jinsung, noted his body was extremely tough, even tougher than those of the Ha Family. He was able to take a punch from Jinsung without even flinching, with Jinsung himself noting on Kallavan's toughness. He also had tremendous Shinsoo Resistance, easily taking Jinsung's Demonic Storm and Iron Defense without any damage, although he did show some pain and was pushed back. Even one of Jinsung's ultimate techniques, Dragon Tiger Gate - Ultimate Flare Wave Explosion, was unable to kill him, but Kallavan himself admitted it inflicted serious damage. Even after that, Kallavan was able to easily take Baam's Black March augmented attacks without even being moved by the blows. Despite already being injured by Jinsung and Baam, Kallavan was still able to charge directly at Evankhell, Yuri and Karaka, pushing past their combined attacks in order to get through to Baam. This feat is a true testament to Kallavan's incredible durability as he was facing a Top 100 High Ranker, a High Ranker Princess and a Slayer.

Lethal Move: Hurricane Shaker - Backlash Bomber: Kallavan starts this attack by punching his opponent which sends them flying backwards. He then follows this by clenching his fist to create a large shinsoo blast behind the enemy as they are recovering from the first punch. This technique was strong enough to push someone like Jinsung backwards. It was also capable of easily blasting through Androssi's shield and sending them flying a great distance.
 * Lethal Move: Hurricane Shaker - Backlash Big Bomber: A stronger version of the Backlash Bomber that is powerful enough to damage Jinsung to the point of spitting blood.

Kallavan Essence of Bravery Transcendent Skill - Atomic Explosion: An extremely powerful technique that Kallavan uses against Jinsung. Kallavan crushes the Essence of Bravery crystal and unleashes its full power. Glass shards fly everywhere with shinsoo emnating from both of his fists and forehead. Kallavan then charges towards Ha Jinsung instantly and as the name suggests, creates a large explosion. The technique's power is such that it left Jinsung in a bloodied state.

Relationships

 * Ha Jinsung: Kallavan was once Ha Jinsung's student, he gained and loss a great deal because of him. He appreciated the kindness and guidance Jinsung gave him. But after doing what Jinsung told him, he regretted it deeply. He saw the tragedy of the man that was sealed in the gem and thought it might happen to him as well. This led to Kallvan going on his journey trying to make everyone surrender to Zahard to end tragedies. Kallavan still retained considerable respect for Jinsung, having politely refused to join FUG and not taking him on for being a member of an organization that intended to kill Zahard. When Jinsung confronted Kallavan when he tried to go to the Last Station, Kallavan acted cordial around Jinsung, first reminiscing on their past and asking on how he was doing. Kallavan deemed Jinsung as being enough of a threat to personally take him on, although he still expressed confidence he can defeat Jinsung. Although fighting him without mercy, even destroying his arms, at one point, after having badly wounded him, Kallavan seemed to have only wanted to incapacitate him. He showed sincere regret and remorse over destroying Jinsung's arms and his former mentor's apparent death, stating before teleporting to the battlefield that he had only respect for Jinsung, and acknowledged Jinsung's efforts as having been very challenging.


 * Zahard: Kallavan decided to serve for King Zahard because he wanted to end all tragedies by uniting everyone under his power. However he knows that his power alone won't be able to achieve that dream so one day when he was fighting for more power, he met someone that was able to make his dream come true. King Zahard was that being that can make his dream come true. Kallavan believes Zahard is the 'One True King' of the tower, an omnipotent and omniscient being and Kallavan is going to use his power to make everyone surrender to the king.

Notes and Trivia

 * Ari Bright Sharon temporally took the fisherman role because the commander was not present at the time. This implies Kallavan is normally the Fisherman.
 * He was called 'Human Collector' by Yu Han Sung.
 * His name might be a reference to footballer Ragnar Klavan.

Quotes

 * (To himself while playing piano) "Rhapsody... What an appropriate piece for this mission."


 * (To Ha Jinsung) "I met someone who will make my dream come true while I was fighting to gain more power. 'King Zahard.' The one true king, an omnipotent and omniscient being. I'm going to use this power to make everyone surrender to the king. Whoever stands in the way of my 'utopia' will simply be destroyed!"
