Ridley "The Devil" Wan

About

Ridley Wan is a Papermaster appearing in the Read or Die Manga. He was Donny Nakajima's closest (and possibly only) friend before Yomiko Readman arrived.


In the 1980s Ridley was purchased from Hong Kong by the British Library; no details of his life before this are given. Like Donny Nakajima, Ridley was forced into the "Special Education Approach Training" to awaken his latent powers. During this time he met Donny and became friends with him. His final battle for this training was against Donny himself, although Ridley didn't know this (he and Donny had only spoken through their cell wall and never seen each other). Ridley won the fight because Donny refused to land a killing blow, which infuriated Ridley because he thought he was "trying to make a fool out of me"; only when Donny repeated a quote and put on his glasses did Ridley realize who it was.
