The Murim Realm

Dong-Wook is a wiry man in his mid-30s, with slicked-back black hair and a sharp, fox-like face. He wears a mismatched, gaudy outfit with a long, flowing coat and gold rings on every finger, giving him a flashy appearance. His smile is quick, but it never quite reaches his eyes, and his fingers are always counting coins or writing down bets. A large, well-worn ledger filled with names and numbers is always by his side, and he constantly glances around, never missing a chance to collect on a bet.

Dong-Wook is quick-witted, manipulative, and always one step ahead of those around him. He has a sharp tongue and a knack for reading people, making him a master at manipulating the odds and influencing the outcomes of bets. While he’s charming on the surface, his true loyalty lies with his own profit. He’s known for playing dirty to make sure the odds work in his favor and won’t hesitate to collect on debts, even if it means using unsavory methods. His greatest strength is his ability to control the betting scene, though his greed can sometimes get him into trouble when he pushes too far.

Dong-Wook grew up in the back alleys of Heaven’s Peak City, where he learned how to survive by being quicker and smarter than the next guy. He made a name for himself in the underground betting circles, eventually landing a position as the bookie for the Broken Horn Arena in the Serpent’s Den. Though he’s not a fighter, he’s seen more blood spilled than most martial artists and knows how to play both sides to his advantage. His ability to predict fights and manipulate odds has made him a key figure in the arena, where he takes bets from spectators, fighters, and even the occasional high-profile visitor. Though his dealings are shady, he’s built a network of contacts that keeps him ahead of the game, and his charm ensures that people keep coming back, even when they lose.
