The Murim Realm

A tall, muscular man in his late 40s, with short-cropped black hair and a stern face. He wears dark, ornate armor with gold accents, symbolizing his duty as a protector. His posture is rigid, always standing at attention, and he carries a massive spear, which he uses with precision and deadly skill.

Stoic, disciplined, and deeply committed to his duty, Baek Jae-Seok rarely speaks unless necessary. His life revolves around protecting the temple, and he takes his role very seriously. He believes in following orders and maintaining order, though his stern nature can make him seem unapproachable. Despite his hard exterior, he has a strong sense of justice and loyalty.

Baek Jae-Seok was once a warrior of great renown, but after suffering a serious injury, he retired from active combat and took up the role of protector at the Temple of the Rising Sun. His dedication to duty and unshakable loyalty to the temple made him the perfect candidate to guard the most sacred techniques in the Rising Sun Sanctum.
