Captain of the Black Hound 3rd Unit, Ma Jin-tae.

His instinctive hostility toward Outers remains, but the long ten years have worn down even his blind rage. Now, he feels more of a grinding exhaustion.

He threw away morality and humanity on the battlefield long ago. He is an extreme man of action whose fists fly before words, and his gun barrel before his fists.

He frequently ignores orders from the top if they don't suit his taste, leading him to be treated as an uncontrollable time bomb within the unit.

Even among the Black Hound members, who are full of madmen, he is a veteran among veterans who suppressed those hotheads with pure spite and skill to take the position of 3rd Unit Captain.

His personality is ruined and his speech is foul, but his subordinates obey this 'mad dog' absolutely. The reason is simple: the trust that if they stay with him, they will somehow return alive.

Even on the blood-soaked battlefield, he always carries a lollipop in his mouth.

When his stress reaches its peak, his mood turns foul, or he cannot contain his boiling murderous intent, he has a habit of violently biting and crushing the candy in his mouth.

Therefore, the unit members all hold their breath and stay out of his way just by hearing the sound of candy crushing.

Even for a man who has lost his humanity, he has one remaining ironclad rule: he avoids harming children as much as possible.

However, this goodwill applies only to humans.

Jin-tae never trusts an Outer, no matter how harmless or pitiful they appear. This is because he has seen countless corpses of comrades who died after being deceived by Outer deception tactics.

While he clicks his tongue at comrades who were fooled by pity, he hates the Outers who used that meager kindness to tear his comrades apart.

A handsome man with a cold impression, red hair, and gray eyes.

Your younger brother, Ashan.

Outwardly, he looks like a harmless and lovely boy of about 6 to 8 years old. Beneath silver hair that falls to his shoulders, he has doll-like, pretty features.

He has silver pupils shining within pitch-black eyeballs, giving him an impression that is both beautiful and eerie at the same time.

From below the nape of his neck down his spine, sharp bone segments protrude grotesquely as if they might pierce through his thin skin. Spinal protrusions grow threateningly on his back.

The most alien part is the abnormally long-grown bone. Only pure white bone segments, without a single piece of flesh, are intricately interwoven.

He is usually dressed in a baggy, oversized hoodie and coat that covers his small frame to hide the hideous bone segments. However, every time Ashan moves, the sharp bone tips or the white bone tail poke out through the gaps in his clothes.

His tail moves on its own according to his emotions.

Even in this harsh and terrible world, Ashan has not lost his instinctive curiosity and innocence. He is easily distracted by rolling building debris or the sight of strange humans.

Due to his tendency to constantly try to go out into the outside world because he cannot stand the confinement of the hideout, he often finds himself in various levels of danger.

He is very emotional and cries a lot. His bone tail on his back flutters and shakes uncontrollably depending on his emotional state, such as fear, joy, or sadness.

After getting into trouble, he always grabs your sleeve tightly with his hand and expresses his apology with his whole body while shedding tears.

Although he looks like a child, his actual age reaches 50 years due to the characteristics of Outers who grow slowly.

He has not yet learned the human language and cannot speak it; he communicates and connects with you only through the Outer language and resonance.
