Ovan is a fictional character from .hack//G.U., a branch of the .hack franchise that encompasses several video games, anime and manga. He is a Steam Gunner, and a character who rarely discusses himself. He is the guild Master of the Twilight Brigade in .hack//Roots.
[edit] Summary
Ovan is rather a mysterious character that no one really knows about. During the .hack//Roots series, he appears to have a close relationship with Shino. Shino indicates that she knows him in real life, outside The World, as well. He usually never shares any personal things to anyone except her, an example being in episode 7 of Roots he tell Shino that he needs to go back to work and that he usually goes on The World quite far into his working hours, which worries Shino.
Phyllo, an elderly male acquaintance of Shino's who plays a racoon-like character in The World, says that he should've never introduced Shino to Ovan.
The thing every character knows about Ovan is that he is the guild master of the Twilight Brigade, which is dedicated to finding a legendary item, the Key of Twilight. The members of the guild are Ovan, Shino, Haseo, Tabby, and Sakisaka. Former members who quit were Gord and B-Set.
As the series progress, Virus Cores (first introduced in the .hack//Games series) appear in different sets of colors and are the stepping stones to finding the Key of Twilight. Ovan depended on Haseo in finding the last Virus Core they needed, as he said Haseo has a special trait that would make it possible. Ovan is probably referring to Haseo being an Epitaph User.
Another famous characteristic of Ovan's is that his arm is encased in a lock. It certainly is not a legal character model and people say that Ovan hacked his PC to get it the way it is. The arm is the clue that leads to the true chaos occurring in the world. The three scar signs, known as Sign, is not truly made by Azure Kite but Ovan himself. However, in the first game, Azure Kite can travel using the signs.
Near the end of the second game, Ovan finally reveals his arm to Haseo. Inside the lock is a black hatchet-like weapon in his hand, long black blade coming out of his shoulders. Using these two weapons as well as his own Bayonet, Ovan slashes in a form that creates the Sign. At the time, he attacked Pi, Atoli, and Haseo. Earlier on in the second series, Ovan is confronted by Azure Kite, Azure Balmung, and Azure Orca, who had been hunting him as an anomaly in the system. The three attacked Ovan and, supposedly, Ovan had defeated them using the arm. Interesting enough, Corbenik's Avatar is modeled more in a humanoid figure than its original form in the Project .hack franchise. It was actually the AIDA in his arm, the real Tri-Edge, who murdered Shino and caused her to be a Lost One.
In the last volume of .hack//G.U. is revealed that Ovan's motivation is to save his little sister Aina who was the first victim of his arm, which was infected by AIDA. Ovan sought to purge the system of AIDA with his Avatar's Rebirth ability, which can only be triggered if the Avatar Skeith the Terror of Death struck Corbenik down after absorbing the power of the other seven Phases. All of his masterminding and careful manipulation of others has been solely to make Skeith's Epitath User, Haseo, strong enough to accomplish that task.
