History
Past
Shaman Fights Second Round
Lycan first appeared together with Kalim of the Ten Patch Officiants and his daughter Pirica, watching his son, prepare to fight Bill Burton and Brocken Meyer, in order to protect the Icemen.[2] He had been called there by his daughter who was concerned for the safety of her brother. Kalim told him that even thought he was the officiant responsible for Horohoro he could not interfere as it was not an official fight, but Lycan could interfere if he wanted, something Pirica begged him to, believing that Horohoro would otherwise die. However, Lycan just brush it off and leaves, saying that since Horohoro had left home, he was on his own. When Kalim reasons that Horohoro would most likely meet his death and ask why he came if he didn't want to help, Lycan explains that he was only there because Pirica begged him.
He then suddenly appears next to the broken boat, to the surprise of Bill, and breaks of pieces of the boat and says that he wants to leave the island. He suddenly stands on a raft floating away on the sea. Bills calls for him to wait and proclaims that although he is weaker than him he seems pretty strong. Lycan only replies by saying that he is an office worker. Bill calls it a waste and attacked him in order to give Asakura Hao another soul, but was defeated with one blow from Gororo. He then tells him that the words "The strong feed upon the weak" dose not mean "give up and leave the island. "[3]
Invading the Plants
It is later revealed that during his travels on the sea, he had somehow been captured by Oyamada Mansumi fleet of ships and kept in one of them guarded by Hans Reiheit and Amano Teruko.[4]
He was later seen together with the Asakura Family and Tao Family preparing a barbecue on the beach. When Anahol Pokki says that he does not wish to participate as he has no buisness with them, Lycan suddenly appears out of the water with a large Tuna in his hand saying that good food is the source of energy and has Anahol compliment him for a good catch.[5] He is complimented by Pirica whom he tells that, today they will broil it. He was last seen sitting together with Pircka on the beach preparing the fish and hearing Anna reading the Furyoku levels of their kids.[6]
He later appeared on the Soul Train inside the Great Spirit together with Pirica and Apollo.[7]
