Achebe Laman
CharacterAchebe Laman is a low-ranking member of Piccaro Calvino's criminal outfit in the original anime, briefly wanted alongside the crew that steals the drug Grey Ash. He surfaces only during the Venus storyline before fading back into the background.
Appearance
The series never lingers on Laman's looks, presenting him as one of the rough figures inside Piccaro Calvino's crew. Behind the scenes he went uncredited, tagged in the working script only as "Thug A."
Personality
What little the story shows paints him as a rank-and-file crook, tied closely enough to Calvino's operation to be counted among its wanted men rather than acting as any kind of leader himself.
History
After Calvino's group makes off with a supply of Grey Ash, Laman carries a bounty worth one hundred thousand Woolongs. The scheme sours when Roco Bonnaro, another member of the crew, takes the plant for himself, setting off a pursuit that pulls in Carpi Paolo and Bakri Chinva. Laman's role in the affair plays out during the events of Waltz For Venus.
