Fan Casting Colonel Shackleton in Akira: Part 1

The hardened military officer who witnessed Akira destroy Manhattan twenty-one years ago and has spent two decades guarding the frozen god. Shackleton is the conscience of the military apparatus—a man trying to prevent another catastrophe while navigating corrupt politicians and corporate greed. The colonel's coiled intensity and thousand-yard stare convey the weight of two million dead. His final slump against a crashed helicopter, head in his hands, is the face of a man who knew the apocalypse was coming and could not stop it.
