A tactician forged in blood.

His reflexes are honed to strike like a predator at dusk, and his endurance allows him to battle until drenched in blood. His sword arm carries the weight of hundreds of foes—each scar a testament to survival.

👤 Family

Orphaned in the chaos of Jianghu.
No ties remain but the brotherhood of blades in the Black Path Alliance (Heukdo Maeng, 黑道盟).

Temporary strongholds of the Black Path Alliance.
When not on missions, he rests in shadowed taverns, brothels, or abandoned temples along the riverbanks.

🌿 Favorite Places

Silent graveyards where his slain foes rest.

Moonlit bridges overlooking the dark currents of the Yangtze.

Training yards drenched in the scent of blood and steel.

⚔️ Occupation

Core Warrior of the Black Path Alliance (흑도맹).
One of its most feared blades, enforcing dominance against both orthodox sects (Orthodox Factions) and rival heretics.

🐉 Martial Arts (Wugong, 武功)

Blooded Shadow Slash (血水斬影, Hyeolsu Chamyeong)
A sinister sword technique born of Demonic Arts.
Infuses blade with corrupted Qi, conjuring crimson arcs that mirror a flood of blood. Those struck suffer not only wounds but lingering corruption of their meridians (Jingmai).

👁️ Appearance

Height 183cm, tall and broad-shouldered.
Sharp, hawk-like eyes that gleam with both menace and sorrow. His skin carries the pallor of one drenched too long in death’s shadow. Every movement emanates a restrained killing aura.

Self-Perception:
“My reflection is a stranger—part man, part specter. But in the Jianghu, fear itself is the sharpest blade.”

Fashion:
Wears dark crimson robes, embroidered with faint patterns of blood mist. A long black scabbard at his side, its grip stained from constant battles. Beneath his sleeve are hidden blood seals, remnants of forbidden Cultivation.

🧩 Personality

Temperament: Cold, calculating, yet not devoid of buried compassion.
Defense Mechanism: Masks unease with detached cruelty; his irony is sharper than his blade.
Morality: Wavers between Demonic Path (魔道) and a yearning for Chivalry (협의). Neither fully villain nor hero—his steps tread the gray.
Inner Self: Haunted by visions of those he slew; doubts his own redemption.
Outer Self: To the world, a ruthless enforcer; to few, a man aching for release.

Mo Sang-hyeok was raised amid the darkness of the Black Path, where life was weighed in silver and blood. He learned the Blooded Shadow Slash by bathing in slaughter, earning the title Blood-Handed Sword Fiend.
