Hans

Hans is a merchant from Gainos, who sells figurines of the Queen's Blade participants and other exotic items (like Menace's staff Setra itself) in his popular souvenir shop.

Appearance
He wears a pink shirt, and a red and yellow robe with a matching hat. On his hands, he wears silver and golden rings.

Personality
He is a shrewd businessman, that recognizes an opportunity to make money when he finds one. When he met Menace, he sponsored her and helped her enter the tournament, seemingly out of good will, but he was actually investing in his business: he planned to make money selling figures in her likeness. But Menace and Setra found out about the figures, and threatened him into giving them the money he had earned.

Abilities
He has no real known abilities, but he has talent at making figurines, the quality of which Setra acknowledged.

Trivia

 * He also appears in the Spiral Chaos games, as the owner of the item shop.
