Van is the last remaining member of the royal family in Fanelia. He is stubborn, makes rash decisions, and is extremely brave, to the point of being wreckless. Since his mother was draconian, Van can sprout wings whenever he feels he needs to, though he tries to keep this part of his heritage a secret. He is only 15 and sets off to slay a dragon to become king. Shortly after he completes this task (bringing Hitomi back with him) and becomes King of Fanelia, it is burned to the ground by a Zaibach army. Before leaving Fanelia he takes the Escaflowne, which soon becomes the center of the Zaibach Empire's focus. Van is a fierce fighter in the Escaflowne and is widely feared by any enemy. Even though Van doesn't hesitate to go into battle, he hates the thought of war. He is sometimes rude to Hitomi, but he sometimes seems jealous when Allen spends time with her. He likes to keep Hitomi around because of her powers, but it is revealed that he really does care for her.

The Escaflowne is a guymelef thats been in Van's family for years. Van uses it to battle in and it has special abilities that other melefs don't have; like transforming into a flying dragon. It is far more powerful than everyone thinks.
