"He's a bad man." Masterful manipulation of Luke and the world in general has put Van Grants in the position to change the world for the better- and get rid of the score once and for all. His methods of getting rid of the score may be vial, but it had to be gotten rid of at all costs. Van doesn't let anything get in the way of his destiny of saving the world. His sister? Kidnapping children? Murdering the eldery? It's all a day's work for him. Stay out of his way or else.

Van dispenses with the plans and goes straight for inflicting as much pain as possible in the arena. You haven't seen true hurt till he starts firing off his Mystic Artes. Imperial Slaughter is a fitting name for a Van attack- not even the highest and mightiest in the land have a prayer of withstanding his earth shattering attacks.
