Dutch

Dutch is the leader of the Lagoon Company and captain of the ex-American Navy PT boat Black Lagoon. He is a former American soldier who fought in the Vietnam War who went AWOL after NVA and VC forces captured Saigon in the end of the war and instead, went to Thailand to serve as a mercenary. He tends to stay away from the fighting associated with Lagoon Company’s activities. Instead, he gives orders and negotiates contracts with clients - usually Balalaika of Hotel Moscow. However, Dutch is very capable in combat, skillfully wielding a 12 gauge shotgun and a .44 magnum revolver with great ease. Dutch is a calm, easygoing character, and quite friendly. He is a Christian, denomination unknown. His body is heavily muscled, and he is always seen wearing a pair of sunglasses. He appears to be in his 30s, but is likely in his 50s, based on his military service in Vietnam.
