Evan Edrok


 * "There's no way those strong legs of yours would be getting tired yet, m'lady!"


 * - 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 known as 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 rankings, amongst the one hundred thousand Rankers. However, as he is a Guide (길잡이, Giljahbi; "one who chooses and leads the way"), his battle abilities are quite low. So his fighting capabilities are similar to those of Ha Yuri Zahard, who is at 500th in ranking.

Appearance/Personality
Evan is a man with an extremely short stature. He has silver hair and milkish colored skin. He always wears black overalls, covering his mouth along with it. Yuri Zahard, his partner, always makes fun of his height as being too short.

He has quite a cautious personality but is also quite blunt. He seems to have a penchant for calling people names.

If he is indeed Yuri Zahard's assigned bodyguard and partner, then he is likely very loyal towards the King (Ch 68).

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 March. Baam blew up the Ball and went 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 tie to Baam. And when Evan overheard their conversation, he thought that "Lady Yuri, it's not a matter you should be accepting on a whim. He is dangerous. Very dangerous." And this is likely because Baam posed a threat to the Zahard Empire and to the Tower's stability as he was an Irregular.

In Anak's flashback we can see being her saved by someone who looks like Evan.

In chapter 71 it's revealed that he is the chief Guide of the Zahard royalty. On his way to meet with Yuri after Kurudan had dealt with Ren, he appeared to be shocked to see Hwa Ryun when she walked past him.
