Overview
Lan is a young and headstrong, often letting his achievements and victories get to his head and making him over confident, leading to his judgement being clouded. However he has shown to be sharp and strategic when the situations calls for it, bringing unexpected victory against an opponent when they believe they have the upper hand. His impressive show of skill lead him to be recruited as a Net Savior.

Despite his short temper, Lan is loyal to not only his friends, but most others he meets during his journeys, leading to him making many friends and allies.

Over time, he makes friends with rivals Eugene Chaud and Raika and the three make a team.

As the first two seasons go on, Lan into conflict with the World Three and Gospel.
