Swan is so-called due to his long, snowy-white braided dreads and nearly paper-white skin.  He's pretty enough that people begin to question themselves and his joking requests for good-luck kisses on the cheek are usually granted (though often rebuked by him).

    Swan brought Absinthe and Torch as backup when doing a deal with Cutter. Things went sour and he thinks Absinthe cut out and left him in the lurch while Torch hung tough and faced down serious violence to get them out of that jam.

    Swan was able to unseat Chainsaw from The Den on Ring 11 and is now the man in charge of operations, though he lost most of his left cheek and ear after setting off a booby-trapped grenade.
