Personality
Koan protects the "good people" of Terminus from those who seek to take advantage and exploit them. Unfortunately, almost no one is good enough for Koan, who sees everything as black and white. For Koan, there is no moral gray; there is only right and wrong. He never compromises on anything. A person who lies, cheats, or performs violence on another is guilty for the rest of his life. For when a man chooses to do evil, why should he ever be forgiven? Needless to say, Koan does not consider the many, often brutal, punishments he hands down to be unjust, let alone evil.
Most of the residents of Terminus fear Koan, and he in turn considers almost everyone in Terminus to be either a helpless victim or morally bankrupt. Nevertheless, he patrols the town nightly, investigating traditional crimes such as kidnapping and murder and saving citizens from immediate peril. Periodically he communicates with the mayor by breaking into her home without invitation.
Motivations
- Individualism
- The character believes that the rights of the individual hold the highest moral value.
- Justice
- The character seeks to ensure that misdeeds are met with appropriate punishment.
Complications
- Obsessed
- Koan is utterly consumed with his mission, and completely blind to any shades of grey between "good people" and the "Takers".
History
Koan's background is unknown; it is widely assumed that he was a resident of Atlanta who went mad after the death of friends and family, but in fact he was living in New York before he came to Terminus to participate in its Objectivist experiment. He left his name and identity behind upon entering the ruins and now answers only to Koan.
Powers and Abilities
Although born merely human, Koan's obsession and dedication to his cause have driven him to push his body to superhuman levels. When not on patrol, his every waking moment is spent on training. His combat style is a result of what he has seen in movies and read in books: he is entirely self-taught. He also carries several crime-fighting devices of his own design, such as a handheld flamethrower made from an aerosol can of starter fluid.
