At the time of the first Dragon attacks, Van Zan was a member of the United States Army. When the first of the Dragon attacks came, his unit was on the frontline, engaging in open combat with the beasts in the ruins of Los Angeles. He soon learned first hand how ferocious the beasts could be and was one of only a handful of survivors to come out the city before it was nuked. Since then, he's dedicated his livings to slaying the creatures - they destroyed his country and he wants to destroy them in turn. In mid-2011, the remnants of his unit banded together and, armed with armaments acquired from their base, managed to bring down their first Dragon.
By 2013, the unit had managed to down Dragons rather inconsistently, but always suffering major casualties. Van Zan was insistent on recruiting from havens and, as fate would have it, traveled to one in northern Mexico where he encountered scientists who believed that few male Dragons existed. Now set on what he had to do, Van Zan set out with his Slayers into the American Wasteland, searching for males. As of mid-2015, the unit was the only one known to successfully track down and slay a male.
