Sir Avan of Zinuar III is a character from Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. He is the former hero who defeated dark lord Hadlar fifteen years before the start of Dai's adventure. In the present, he trains new heroes.
He has a support role in the main Dai series, but he stars as the protagonist of his own spinoff manga, which tells in greater detail his adventures against the Dark Army.
Appearances
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai
Avan is the Hero tutor of Dai and Popp.
Story
15 Years before the story starts, Avan defeated Hadlar, the Dark Lord. He has now turned to teaching other Heroes and travels around with his student Popp, who trains to become a Mage. The Papnica royal family ask them to sail to Dermline Island to find the future Hero Dai.
As they arrive, Hadlar's evil influence has already spread, turning most monsters on Dermline hostile. Avan casts Glimmer to purify and safeguard the island.
After two Gargoyles smash into the created barrier, Avan asks Popp to deal with them. Popp uses Kafrizz on one of them, but gets hit by the Fizzle of the other. Dai jumps in to help and, with a cheap sword that Avan calls "legendary", defeats the remaining Gargoyle.
Due to the Dark Lord's return, Avan proposes to train Dai under his one week hero-making Special Hard Course. Over the first two days, Dai learns to split a boulder with his knife, Avan shows him the Avan Strash -Avan's signature move- and teaches him the Earth Slash. The Earth Slash is a part of the Avan Style Sword Techniques, the key to learn the Avan Strash. On day three, Avan, Brass, Gomechan and Dai go to a remote part of the island to train further. Avan casts Puff! to turn himself into a red Dragon. He and Dai fight so fiercely that Gomechan flies to get Popp. As they return, Dai has just figured out to cut through dragon-Avan's flames using the Wave Slash, an attack based on speed. This successfully slices Avan's nose, who then reverts to his human form. A bit of conversation and a small Crack ice later, they feel the Island shaking. The resurrected Dark Lord Hadlar pushes through the barrier.
Hadlar reveals that Avan was the Hero that defeated him and they fight. Hadlar announces that he was resurrected by Vearn, the Dark King and is now his Dark Commander. After Avan refuses Hadlar's offer to rule the world with him, he hits a nerve calling Hadlar Vearn's servant. In response Hadlar attacks him with Kaboom, which Avan counters with Avan Strash, only slightly wounding the Dark Commander. As Avan's energy is failing, Dai jumps in, attacking Hadlar and wounding his finger. The Dark Commander then fires off a Sizzle, but Avan jumps between the attack and his students. With the last of his energy, he casts Kaclang on the group turning them to stone and gives Dai and Popp the Insignias of Avan. These are certificates of graduation. Avan then faces Hadlar and giving his life by casting Kamikazee.
