Van

General Description
Vantrius Mallor, better known as Van, is an artificial devil and the main villain of the first book of the Highschool Project series, God-Slayer. After surviving Project G-S, Van was imbued with White God-Slaying Magic, and used his special DNA to tear a piece of the Greek god Kronos, gaining access to Time Magic.

Appearance
Van is described as having semi-spiky black hair and black eyes. In each of his appearances, he wears a heavenly-white robe.

In his Divinity Unleashed transformation, Van's hair becomes white and he wears a heavenly-white suit of armor that is described as shining as bright as a close-proximity sun.

Abilities
As the White God-Slayer, and a manducan devil, Van has a plentitude of abilities.


 * White Magic: Allows Van to conjure and create things from the element of holiness
 * White God-Slaying Magic: Allows Van to absorb and release White Magic, and also preform Armor Summoning; additionally, he can more effectively harm gods with Inverse Principle.
 * Time Magic: Allows Van to slow down the flow of time around him, affecting everyone but himself
 * White Armor Summoning: Turns the color of Van's hair into white, and gives him a durable suit of armor, along with a boost in his power and speed

Personality
Van's personality doesn't change much in both Books 1 and 8; however, he becomes less and less compassionate as his plans begin to fall apart.

Typically, he's relaxed and confident in his abilities, and very much supports the idea that the extermination of the devil race is beneficial for society. Despite his intentions being good, Zane describes him as being blinded from his own experiences.

Background
Having survived Project G-S, a scientific plan that hoped to create the ultimate God-Slayer by torturing children with Exponetia in them, Van first lived in the mortal world, witnessing the wrong doings by devils onto the mortal race.

At the beginning of Book 1, in Chapter 9, Van makes his first strike by destroying multiple cities in the Underworld, before manipulating Heaven and the Realm of Fallen Angels into attacking the Underworld in fear that they would strike first.

Trivia

 * Van is described by Lagann as looking like a Super Saiyan, a reference to the popular anime series Dragon Ball Z
