Hanz Hamerkrop
Bio: Hanz Hammerkrop has been Malco’s best friend since elementary school. He is his second mate and master of the German tongue. They both shared an interest in seeing the world for different reasons. While Malco aspired to live up to his grandfather’s legacy, Hanz had more “personal” ambitions and wanted to create his legacy and make his own stories. Hanz slowly began to notice Malco’s shyness around women as their friendship grew. So whenever they aren’t adventuring around the world, Hanz takes Malco to certain hotspots on different islands to help him overcome his inability to communicate with women, which would be good if he wasn’t such a horrible teacher.

Personality: Unlike Malco’s kindness and good nature, Hanz is direct, crass, and sometimes a bit of a hound dog. Malco is the alpha male when they are out treasure hunting. But when they are out in town, it’s the complete opposite. Despite this, He and Malco still treat each other like brothers. Malco shows Hanz the world's beauty, while Hanz shows Malco the benefits of having a social life.
