Bak Chang

Bak Chang is a fictional character and member of the fictional religious organization known as the Black Order, in the anime and manga series D.Gray-man, by Katsura Hoshino.

Appearance
Bak Chang is a slender man with short messy blonde hair which falls over his face. As Head of the Asia Branch, he wears a white coat which in his case is customised into a tight-fitting waist length jacket with rose cross on the left side. He usually wears Italian style boots and also a beret with a tassel and spirit stone on the top. Bak has tattoos on his both arms. He is also very short for his age being the same height as Allen even though he is twice his age.

Personality
Like Komui Lee, he is a man aware of his duties and the dark legacies surrounding the Order. Even not being a Conformer, he is able to perform some spells, mostly to control the structure of the headquarters thanks to the seal created by his great-grandfather and the blood of Chan's clan. Bak is a responsible leader. It's said his intellect is a triumph of the Asia Branch. Due the noble-like upbringing Bak refers to himself as "Ore-sama" (which can be translated as: "my honorable self", "divine me", or "the great me") when he is angry (more specifically, angry at Fo), but otherwise he usually calls himself "boku" (a less formal way for noble males to refer of themselves).&nbsp When he experiences strong emotional disturbance, he breaks into hives - all of those incidents are treated as life threatening by Wong. Bak has tendency to cry without his own knowing. Bak has a huge crush on Lenalee and even "stalks" her a little bit by taking photos of her.

History
Bak is a son of Twi Chang and Edgar Chang Maltin. He was raised like a prince and had very strict education. His mother believed that it will provide him position of a supervisor so he could change the negative aspects of the Black order. Bak Chang is the leader of the Black Order's Asia Branch, a post occupied also by his great-grandfather, maternal grandfather and mother, Twi Chang (and perhaps the other generations of his family). Before becoming the Asia Branch Chief, he once served as a Section Chief in the Northern Sector of the Asia Branch. He and Komui seem to be good friend as Komui address him as Bak-Chan (Dear Bak). Due to Komui's sister complex, Bak doesn't let him (or anyone else) know about his secret stalker-ish crush on Lenalee, and this fact was used by Allen Walker to threaten him so he would open the door where Fo was fighting with an Level 3 Akuma.

Edo and Asia Branch Arc
When Allen was defeated by Tyki Mikk and had his Innocence destroyed, Bak took the young exorcist in, training him to regain his Innocence, until Thread, a Level 3 Akuma, attacked the Asia Branch. After Allen's molecular bonds were weakened by Thread, Bak refused to let him re-enter battle - not even when Allen threatened to inform Komui about his collection of Lenalee's pictures. Bak eventually opened the door, allowing Allen to enter upon the latter's insistence and determination. After seeing Fo is seriously injured, he went to her and trying to protect her.

Trivia

 * For tells Allen that a person once was lost in the Asian Branch for a week and nearly starved. Bak is undoubtedly this person, as he jumps and quietly scoffs at the comment.
 * Bak is sometimes portrayed in a frog costume
 * After the accident with Komuvitan D, Bak was the one who made a vaccine and cured everyone.
 * Bak had long hair - just as Komui Lee - when he was younger
 * For refers to him as Baka-Bak (Idiot-Bak)
 * Though chinese, Bak's last name - Chang - sounds the same as a Japanese honorific - -chan - used for name diminution. Because of this, Komui sometimes teases Bak by calling him either Bak-chan or Bak Chan-chan instead of Bak Chang.
