Summary
The Batter is a stoic, powerful entity determined to purify all of the Zones of OFF, working through any obstacle standing in the way of his sacred quest. He is very direct about his intentions and usually doesn't speak more than needed, though this reticence belies his cunning and the immense power he wields.
