Trying to conquer Asagi and make her his "bitch", he realizes that he has fallen in love with her. Seemingly not as evil, even wanting to take her away from the whorehouse and take care of their unborn child.

## History

His family were soldiers for generations and own some piece of land. Bogan himself worked as a mercenary before the start of the game and was often hired by criminal clients.

Before the events of Taimanin Asagi The Nightmare, Bogan was paid to hunt down Asagi but as a consequence his entire team, of 15 soldiers, was killed by her. Standing on top of the team's bodies, Asagi asked for information about his client, but Bogan refused, to answer. Asagi ordered him to give at least a message to his client, he tried to refuse and pointed his gun but realizes that his life was in serious danger and agrees. Asagi cuts the tendons in his arms, making the lifting of a gun impossible, ending his criminal mercenary live.

Though he survived his encounter, Bogan became obsessed with Asagi in the fear he felt and the murderous eyes she had. Driven by a mix of revenge and fascination, he hoped to one day meet her again.

After the Tokyo Kingdom Investigation in Taimanin Asagi 2, clones of Dragon Gate were used as prostitutes by the crime group to avoid a full decline and make some money back from their last failure. These were promoted as "the real deal" and Bogan learned from his connections of one of these Clone Asagis thinking it was the same one.

While at first, using this chance to humiliate Asagi and dominate her, in his multiple days of booking as revenge. Bogan starts to fall in love with her, and at the same time so does the clone. With Clone Asagi now pregnant with his child, he makes an informal marriage proposal, telling her he will take her with him to his families land.

The happy end is cut short, however, as not long after the real Asagi stabs and kills this clone, leaving Bogan left behind in madness.
