Gangu Gwon

*See also: Cassian Lee, Cassian for other related characters.*

**Gangu Gwon** (권강우; *Kwon Kang-Woo*) is a high school student. Relentlessly bullied and ultimately murdered by his schoolmates, his body is then possessed by Cassian Lee. But Gangu had not been destined to die: he was destined to live and eventually awaken as a villain and bring about calamity; however, Moros's interference leads to his destiny and life to be transferred to Cassian.

How much of Gangu still lingers is a question...

Gangu is eighteen.

## Appearance

Gangu's dark brown hair droops over his face like a boy hiding from the world. He has yellow-brown eyes set in a young face.

By the time his life is taken over, he's taller than his sister and stands at a very average height for a boy.

Unlike Cassian, Gangu lets his sleeves hang at their full length.

## Personality

Not much is known about Gangu's personality. What little we've seen of Gangu is a skittish young man with sad eyes.

In nearly all of Gangu's memories, he's looking up at someone or others are looking down on him. His bullies might not be physically much bigger than him, but their presence looms. Once his sister looks up at him, but she's seated.

It is mentioned by Cassian that Gangu "cared deeply about his sister."

Yuri herself mentions that he used to follow her around when he was younger.

Gangu was not a confident person as he was implied to frequently look down and was unable to stand up for himself against his bullies.

## History

It's unclear what happened to the Gwon parents, but whatever the case, they are gone from Gangu and Yuri's lives. As the significantly older sibling, Yuri has been raising him instead.

At school, Gangu is at the bottom rungs of the social hierarchy and becomes little more than a gofer and punching bag for Gihun, Sechan and one other bully.

Gangu takes his final breaths on the bathroom floor at the merciless hands of his bullies. In this moment, Moros supplants him with Cassian Lee and weaves their destinies together.

Since then, Gangu's emotions and memories bleed through Cassian's day to day life.

However, when Cassian is trapped and pummeled during the third vilzone trial, an apparition of Gangu appears to jeer at the man who's stolen his life. "Is that all you got?" Gangu asks. "Just... **Die**."

## Trivia

* Gangu is the only character in the story so far given an exact age. Because Koreans begin counting their age at 1 instead of the way the international world starts at 0, he is 19 in the Naver version and 18 in the Webtoons version. Both are correct; it's just a cultural difference. Speaking of which, this puts him one year away from being a legal adult in Korea.
* Gangu is member of classroom 3-1.
* Based on Cassian's three straight confirmed days of school attendance, we can infer that Gangu must have died on a Monday, a Tuesday or possibly even a Wednesday if the school has classes on Saturday.
