Donovan
Donovan (ドノバン) is a character who appears in Part II: Battle Tendency.
Story
While Joseph travels through the desert in his search for why Speedwagon's body disappeared, he suddenly spots what looks like a large cape floating down toward him. Suspecting it to be related to his sense of being followed, he sends it flying and reveals a man with a knife, who immediately attacks. After a short back-and-forth, the man reveals himself to be a special forces Nazi officer sent to trail Joseph in order to acquire information on Straights. In their fight, he seems to have the upper hand at first but Joseph soon turns the tables by using Hamon on a cactus to launch its needles at Donovan. Joseph then demands information, but Donovan refuses - until Joseph sticks a magnetic compass in the soldier's eye. After Donovan tells him about Speedwagon being alive and Joseph gets ready to leave on his motorbike, Donovan tries to make a run for it. Unfortunately, Joseph easily catches him and ties him to a cactus with a note reading "Hello Adolph!".
Abilities
Donovan excels at trailing people due to his ability to move lightly enough to avoid leaving footprints in sand. He is able to sneak up on wild bats, balance atop a cactus, using the flat edge of a knife, and possesses extraordinary athletic ability. His knife appears to be wrapped in a special material which can unwind and be used much like a whip.
