Urbain
CharacterUrbain is a giant who crossed paths with Kouzuki Oden during the wanderings of the Whitebeard Pirates. Charged with guarding treasure on a remote island, he started off wary of the crew before warming into a drinking companion and friend.
Appearance
Towering as giants do, Urbain rises above the height of a sizable hill. His head is broadly square, framed by long brunette curls that fall in waves, and his mouth carries notably full lips. Over his frame he pulls on a set of overalls, while a bowler hat sits up top, fitted with a curving pair of horns. The Digitally Colored Manga renders that hat in dark green and gives his overalls a brown shade.
Personality
His inner character remains mostly a mystery, save for the duty he keeps. Urbain stands watch over a hoard of treasure tied to a particular island, taking the responsibility seriously. His first reaction to the Whitebeard Pirates was guarded and combative, but that hostility faded once he came to count them as friends.
History
Generations back, Urbain took up the task of safeguarding treasure on an unnamed island. The Whitebeard Pirates stumbled onto him while poking around that very island during their voyages. Having never laid eyes on a giant, Oden was captivated by the sheer scale of him. Because Edward Newgate held no desire for the riches under Urbain's watch, the tension between them dissolved and the two parties ended up drinking together as friends. In keeping with his size, Urbain swings an enormous kanabō, and his giant heritage grants him formidable raw power, though the anime shows he was outmatched by Whitebeard himself.
