[edit] Story

Ark is an American working as a bodyguard for famous movie actress Judy Winchester. His work seems to also extend to the rest of the Winchester family as he's often called upon to babysit K and Judy's son Michael.

Ark falls into the category of a 'crazy gun-toting American' that most of the American characters fall into. Much like K he's not afraid to use firearms and can be quite trigger-happy. K and him have known each other for years and have a very violent rivalry, mostly stemming from both of their relationships with Judy. From rock-paper-scissors to blowing each other away with explosives, they both go to extreme means to beat each other.

He takes his job as Judy's bodyguard very seriously and goes to extreme measures to both please her and protect her. Judy for her part takes advantage of both the rivalry between Ark and K and their relationships to her to get her way. Being an actress she will often play the 'damsel in distress' to Ark whenever K goes against her, causing Ark to react very violently towards K over the idea he might do "dirty" things to Judy (never mind the fact that K and Judy happen to be married). He also has a full arsenal of subordinates who are just as violent as he is and are willing to open fire on anything and anyone at Ark's command.
