Cliff Schezar is the son of a Plant engineer who purchased land with copious amounts of water on it and as a result, makes a good living selling water to the town. He portrays himself at first as a kind, caring older man with a sense of humor who only wants to protect the water and his guest, Marianne. He even hires Vash as bodyguard to help. He then shows his true nature as he assaults Marianne, a Marshall that came to find proof of Cliff's monopoly of the town's water. It is revealed he only wanted to hire a bodyguard and call him Vash so the town could leave and no one would be around to witness the murder of the intruder. He is eventually defeated by Vash in his Underground Water Plant, and then arrested by Marianne.
