Who is Don Freecs?


Is he an ancestor of Ging and Gon? What is probably his story aside from being
the author of the Book which talked about the Dark Continent?




Don Freecss is a character mentioned to have written a guide to the dark
continent in two parts: East and West. The association has had a copy of East.
West has not been seen. Ging claimed that is because Don is still writing
West, and thus is still alive. East was written 300 years ago.

If Ging is correct, then these are valid assumptions:

  1. Don must be over 300 years old making him the oldest known character.
  2. The Dark Continent is notoriously dangerous so Don must be strong or well protected to reside there.
  3. Freecss is the last name of Ging and Gon so Don is likely related to them through Ging's father.
  4. As Nen slows aging and is the major source of combat power in the series, Don is likely a very power Nen user.
  5. As the Dark Continent is noted for having new/strange fauna and flora including powerful medicial plants, it is possible that his environment could greatly impact who the character is and provide a cause for his long lifespan.

That is all we know and can safely infer from the manga. There are fan
theories surrounding him but at this point we don't know anything else.
