Ned Land

Ned Land is a main character from 20.000 Leagues under the Sea.

General Description
 Ned Land was a Canadian, of uncommon quickness of hand, and who knew no equal in his dangerous occupation. Skill, coolness and audacity, and cunning he possessed in a superior degree, and it must be a cunning whale or a cute cachalot to escape the stroke of his harpoon.''

''Ned Land was about forty years of age; he was a tall man (more than six feet high), strongly built, grave and taciturn, occasionally violent, and very passionate when contradicted. His person attracted attention, but above all he boldness of his look, which gave a singular expression to his face.   ---Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea; Chapter IV: Ned Land
