Vanton Clan

The Vanton Clan (バントン) is a clan of bearmen that resided in the Sea of Trees of Tortus. They are regarded as the strongest of all the beastmen.

History
When Hajime Nagumo was visiting Verbergen during his search for the Great Labyrinth that resided within the Sea of Trees. The head of the Vanton Clan head and bearmen elder of Verbergen Jin objected to Hajime being allowed in his nation due to his prejudice towards Humans. He was preparing to kill him under the pretext of testing Hajime's worth as someone who had claimed to have completed one of the Great Labyrinths, but Hajime was able to easily overpower Jin and injured so badly that he was forced to resign as the head of the Vanton Clan.

When the rest of the clan leaned about what happened to Jin, they immediately wanted revenge on Hajime. Led by Jin's successor Rejin, fifty bearmen from the Vanton Clan, as well as other bearman that respected Jin, launched attack against Hajime was he was reisding outside Verbergen's territory. However, they were caught off when by they were attacked by the Haulia Tribe, who Hajime had taught how to fight using guerrilla warfare and sneak attacks. Many beastmen were either killed or severely injured as a result. Regin was about to be killed as well, but was saved thanks to the intervention of Hajime and Shea. Hajime offered to spare Regin and the rest of his comrades from the Haulia Tribe if he returned to Verbergen and deliver a message to their elders that stated they owed him for sparing them, as well as explaining the reason for why many of his subordinates were killed. Regin agreed to Hajime's terms and retreated with the surviving bearmen. Regin had initially attacked Hajime against the wishes of the elders, and was punished by losing his position as he Vanton Clan's next leader, as well as being demoted to a mere foot soldiers amongst Verbergen's military.
