Personality

Donovan is a sadistic and deadly Nazi soldier. He initially presents himself as a confident fighter and seems to specialize in torture, claiming that he will find a way to make Joseph pass out from blood loss without killing him, and says that he would never talk, even when under torture. This proves to be a facade, as Joseph quickly makes him talk about the Nazi base just minutes after torturing him.

Abilities

Donovan is a German special forces member and thus has several talents related to trailing people.

Stealth

Donovan has remarkable stealth skills. He is able to move lightly enough to avoid leaving footprints in sand and claims that he can sneak up on wild bats. As an elite soldier, he also is agile: he can balance atop a cactus using the flat edge of a knife and possesses other excellent athletic abilities.

Whip-Knife

Donovan's whip-knife

In the manga, he is equipped with a knife that appears to be wrapped in a special material which can unwind and be used much like a whip.

His whip-knife is never shown in the anime.

History

Battle Tendency

While Joseph travels through the desert in his search for information about Speedwagon, he suddenly spots 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 capture Joseph in order to acquire information on Straizo. In their fight, he seems to have the upper hand at first, but Joseph soon turns the tables by using the Ripple on a cactus to launch its needles at Donovan. Joseph demands information, but Donovan refuses. Joseph sticks a magnetic compass in Donovan's eye, and he quickly tells Joseph that Speedwagon is alive. Donovan tries to make a run for it as Joseph gets ready to leave on his motorbike. Joseph easily catches him and ties him to a cactus with a note reading "Hello Adolph!"
