'''Descartes''' is a minor character who appears in [[Trigun (1998 anime)]] and [[Trigun & Trigun Maximum|Trigun Maximum]].

Descartes was imprisoned by the No Man's Land Cavalry, serving a 830 year sentence for an unknown crime. He was offered a chance to reduce his sentence by using his combat skills to assist the Cavalry raid the manor of Lord Daryl Goodman. Descartes was ordered to kill Grey the Ninelives and Midvalley the Hornfreak when they emerged from the manor.<!-- incomplete, needs expansion -->

Descartes is a giant man who stands 12 feelz (feet?) tall. He is burly and heavyset with short legs. His green hair styled in a mohawk. His earlobes are very long and both are pierced with a single hoop earring. His right arm is entirely mechanical. Large screws seemingly protrude from the sides of his head and left shoulder.

Descartes has at least three boomerangs, which were presented to him on a cart. It is unclear if the cart belongs to Descartes or the Cavalry. His mechanical arm appears to be powered by a pneumeic system or some type of explosive, which is controlled with a handheld trigger, attached via a cable and held in his left hand. Very hot shells or casings are expelled upon using it.

==Notes==  

*Descartes appears in the opening credits of every episode of the original English Pioneer release as well as the Funimation 2010 ''Trigun: The Complete Series'' DVD release due to the first episode's credits being mistakenly used for all 26 episodes.

**However, he appears on [[TRUTH OF MISTAKE|episode 2]]'s opening on all releases of the show due to it not having a unique opening credits sequence and reusing episode 1's.

*Descartes' name is not spoken in the show itself, though his name is seen in the show's credits and in the Anime Art Book.
