Van's dream is to one day become a great Zoid pilot like his father, Dan Flyheight. Van loves Zoids, seeing them not as tools of war but as partners to protect and assist people, and feels that their lives are worth something.  Endowed with a spunky attitude and a strong sense of justice, Van aims to do what he feels is right and is always looking out for other people. He shows great loyalty to his friends Fiona, Irvine, Moonbay and his Organoid, Zeke, and will do anything to protect them. His open nature means that many people are attracted to him, and he enjoys a good challenge.  Van starts out somewhat amateurish as a Zoid pilot, but as the series progresses his abilities as a pilot begin to grow. His specialty is close range combat, a feature that both the Shield Liger and the Blade Liger excel in.    from Wikipedia

Zoids are beast-like fighting machines used in both everyday use such as transportation, and special use such as war. Some types of Zoids, know as Organoids, are miniature Zoids that are living organisms. These Organoids have the capability to fuse with a non-living Zoid and make it much more powerful. 
Van (Ban) Freiheit discovers a Zoid Organoid in an abandoned laboratory while running from two strangers piloting Zoids. Also in the laboratory, in an animated suspension tube is a strange girl. He breaks the tube open and takes her and the Organoid with him. Spotting a ruined Shield Liger Zoid outside nearby, the Organoid fuses with it and repairs the damages. Making his escape, Van names the Organoid Zeke, and decides to keep him as a friend. The girl, who says her name is Fiona, wants to find something called Zoids Eve, and so Van, Zeke, and Fiona begin their adventure.
