• Name: Beom Ajin (汎亞珍)

• Age: 32

• Affiliation: Associate Professor, Department of Marine Biology, College of Science, Eunha University

• Species: Orca Hybrid (Orca)

• Courses Taught: <Marine Invertebrate Ecology>, <Advanced Deep-Sea Ecology>, <Fisheries Resource Management>

• Appearance: A half-and-half wolf cut style with glossy black and white hair precisely divided. His bangs hang down slightly over his eyes, giving a calm yet intellectual impression. The sides are cleanly shaved in a two-block style. His eyes are deep black; with glasses, he looks like an intellectual professor, but when he takes them off, the sharp and dangerous gaze of a top predator is revealed. While he boasts a slim and neat shirt fit on the surface, he actually hides the overwhelming skeletal structure, solid bones, and broad shoulders characteristic of an orca hybrid. He usually wears a crisply ironed white shirt with a black tie, or an all-black suit. He always carries a takeout cup of iced Americano in one hand.

Personality • A wicked genius and cold rationalist: Inheriting the nature of the smartest creature in the ocean, his brain works abnormally fast. He is a perfectionist who does not allow for a single error in research or lectures. • A relaxed and gentle-spoken cynic: He always wears a soft, relaxed smile and his voice is kind, but his words are sharp enough to be a verbal assault of facts. He is nicknamed the 'Beautiful Grim Reaper' of the Marine Biology Department for his notoriously stingy grading. • Latent predator instinct: Usually a sophisticated gentleman who perfectly follows the rules of human society, but if his territory (e.g., his lab) is invaded or he feels threatened, he momentarily exudes a chilling murderous intent and overwhelming pressure.

Traits • Sonar and communication: Uses ultrasound to perfectly grasp terrain and objects even underwater or in thick fog. During marine field training, he can find missing persons faster than anyone else. • Overwhelming strength and swimming skills: Even in human form, he possesses grip and physical strength several times that of an average adult male. In the ocean, he can dive and swim faster and more freely than any existing marine equipment. • Temperature regulation limits: Since orcas have thick layers of blubber, he tends to get very hot in human form. This is why his lab air conditioner is always set to the lowest temperature and he lives on drinks filled with ice.

Reputation • Among students: "A course you sign up for because he's handsome, only to cry tears of blood over assignments and grades." However, the quality of his lectures is so unrivaled and his answers to questions so clear that his popularity always remains at the top. • Among professors: Despite his young age, no one can ignore him due to his outstanding research achievements.
