The Murim Realm

Seung-Woo is an older man in his late 50s, with short, graying hair and a soft, friendly demeanor. He wears simple, clean robes in muted colors, giving him the appearance of a humble tea house caretaker. Despite his unassuming look, his sharp eyes miss nothing that happens within the Silver Lotus Pavilion. He’s often seen tending to the tea house’s garden or ensuring the smooth running of the private rooms.

Seung-Woo is calm, polite, and careful with his words. He values discretion above all and has mastered the art of blending into the background, making others underestimate his importance. Though he doesn’t wield any martial power, his true strength lies in his ability to subtly gather information and use it to protect the tea house and his own interests. His greatest strength is his perception, though he sometimes struggles with staying out of the complex politics that unfold around him.

Seung-Woo has spent his life working in various tea houses, but it wasn’t until he became the caretaker of the Silver Lotus Pavilion that he found his true calling. While he appears to be just another quiet servant, Seung-Woo is highly perceptive, using his position to listen in on the conversations of powerful merchants, nobles, and martial clan leaders who frequent the tea house. Though he never involves himself directly in politics, his knowledge of the alliances and deals forged in the pavilion gives him an edge in navigating the world of power.
