He's very much in the classic comic book adventurer tradition: two-fisted, unafraid of superstitions or bad guys, and not vulnerable to the lures of dames. His only real interest seems to be in profit, although he's by no means amoral. He's altruistic, but he wants to make some money. He's very strong, recovering quite quickly from the bends. His arch-enemy is Wing Po, a stereotypical Chinese mandarin-type who hails him as "my illustrious rival" but who wants to get the sunken loot before Dean does. Dean is, of course, a very good diver and a good fighter.
