Fritz Stanford is a member of the Aryan Socialist Union, a United States-based neo-Nazi group that accompanied their leader Ratchman on a salvage operation not far from Jakarta (originally named Batavia). The objective: salvage a painting from a minor German artist, 'The Twelve Knights Led by Brunhilda', from the sunken wreck of the U-boat U-1324. However, the group had to fight Revy and Rock for the painting (the Lagoon Company was also assigned to find the painting from the same person who hired the A.S.U. – the former SS officer Lord Alfred).  Stanford, a tall, large-framed individual, is your typical neo-Nazi – blindly obedient to his leader and extremely fanatical of his beliefs. When Revy and Dutch had boarded the group's boat to try to find the painting – as well as killing the A.S.U.'s membership during their drunken celebration – Stanford encountered Revy as her pistols ran out of ammunition. He then brashly (and stupidly) began to brag about how 'weak' she was, as well as showing her his pistol – a customized, gold-plated Luger which he claimed that someone like Revy couldn't even lift – all the while Revy was reloading her guns with new clips. She then shot Stanford in the head, mainly to kill him – but also to shut him up! 

Claude "Torch" Weaver s a heavyset, middle-aged man with blonde hair and glasses and always sports a grin with a look of a stereotypical everyman. As his nickname would suggest, he is a pyromaniac who uses a lighter shaped-and-sized flamethrower as his weapon of choice, although for heavy-duty jobs, he will also use a full-sized flamethrower.   In spite of his profession and the fact he burnt his own wife to death (which he claims took five minutes), Claude claims to be religious (which religion is unknown) and is teetotal. He is one of the few characters in the series that does not use foul language, preferring to speak with euphemisms (such as "darn" or "shucks") instead. He is blown up by Revy while hunting for Greenback Jane.
