Dutch (ダッチ, Dacchi) is the African-American leader of the Lagoon Company and captain of the ex-U.S. Navy PT boat Black Lagoon aka a torpedo boat. He is a former marine who fought in the Vietnam War. After the Fall of Saigon in 1975, Dutch went AWOL, escaping to Thailand to work 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 Remington 870 shotgun and a Smith & Wesson 629 revolver with 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 much older, based on his military service in Vietnam.
