Balan

Balan is the titular deuteragonist of the poorly-received platform video game Balan Wonderworld. Despite his role as the titular protagonist, he is not a main protagonist.
Throughout his game, Balan guides Emma Cole as she makes her way through Wonderworld.
==Description==
Balan is a charismatic entertainer and the host of the Balan Theatre.
Balan is described as being quite comical yet graceful, and his antics never fail to impress those who meet him. His goal is to heal those who visit his dimension, Wonderworld, where his theatre is located. In the novel, he reveals a gentler side. Balan tends to speak in rhyme, but there are a few instances where his dialogue strays from this pattern.
Balan is a lanky figure who wears a white tuxedo. On his head is a white hat that projects his yellow eyes, and his mouth takes on a more cartoonish form with his hat on. His hatless form has shorter, spikier hair and a more animesque face. Regardless of whether his hat surmounts his head or not, Balan has green hair, which grows longer with his hat on.
==Trivia==
* In the book, Balan is said to be 3000 years old.
* Balan has his own minigame called Balan's Bout that can be used to get some golden Balan Statues. This minigame is the only instance where he is truly playable.
* Balan and his game were inspired by NiGHTS: into Dreams.
* Etymology: Balan and Lance derive their names from "balance." (Balan takes his name from the first five letters, while Lance takes his name from the last five.)
