Swain Zander

Swain Zander is a Marine Officer who was recently promoted to the rank of following several years of dedicated service. His primary claim to infamy is his streak of dismantling Pirates as they enter the New World. For that reason Zander has gotten the epithet "The Gatekeeper". It was this exemplary service, which served to significantly quell the number of new arrivals in the New World and helped properly establish the marines foothold that earned him this promotion. While the mantle of a Rear Admiral is a heavy one to bear, Swain is determined to bear it well and accept all responsibilities that it endows upon him.

Five years ago, Swain Zander ate the powerful Logia-type known as the Neo Neo no Mi. A devil fruit which allows the user to generate, manipulate and turn into the element of neon at will; making them a neon person. The Devil Fruit was awarded for services rendered, and had been safekept by the marines for quite some time before Zander proved himself a rising star and a man whose ideas of Absolute Justice impressed leading figures within the World Government enough to see him bequeathed with its power.

Armed with the great power of a Logia, Zander set out to prove himself worthy of this trust. Vowing to always uphold the ideals of the World Government and use the powers of neon to cleanse the New World of pirates, one by one. Many have remarked that his power is significantly greater than his position would suggest. Given a degree of sometimes unprofessional behaviour that the man exhibits, preventing him from ascending further in the ranks.
