Dutch runs Lagoon Company and captains the Black Lagoon, an old PT boat with a colorful past in the American Navy. He's a Vietnam vet—which puts him older than he looks, likely in his fifties despite appearing to be in his thirties. These days he mostly stays out of the actual gunfights his crew gets into. Instead, he handles the business side: cutting deals with clients (Balalaika from Hotel Moscow is a regular contact) and barking orders from the helm.
Personality-wise, Dutch is easygoing and surprisingly friendly for someone running a mercenary outfit. He's got a laid-back vibe that keeps the crew grounded. He's a Christian, though his specific denomination hasn't been pinned down. Physically, he's built like someone who's seen actual combat—heavily muscled—and he's rarely without his sunglasses. The shades have become such a signature look that it's hard to imagine him without them.
