Han Amari

*"Hell's too good for me."*
—Han Amari to Akito Kishimoto
**Han Amari** (**甘利伴**) was a criminal from Kaz Becker's past. A member of the Guild of Death known as **Mamushi** (**蝮**), Amari ran into Becker with orders to kill him in Tokyo where the two clashed, resulting in him losing his right eye.

Han was consequently imprisoned, where he reunited with his former Guild colleague Elliot Taylor. Han had the intention to escape and join his wife and son, until Becker was sent to the same prison he was in. He then sought to torture Becker, until the latter was broken out. Han was later broken out as well by his former master, Axel Trevor and given the opportunity to see his family for three days. Han chose to defy these conditions and attempted to escape the country with his family, only for Axel to kill his wife in retaliation and for his son to abandon him.

Han later spiraled further downward. After Axel murdered Peter, he was offered salvation by an individual known as the Raider, who used magic artifacts to travel back in time and save Peter. However, after Han repaid Raider, he killed Peter in front of him once more, and was subsequently killed by Axel.

## Biography

### Guild of Death

#### Disciple of Axel

Han Amari joined the Guild of Death, an organization of assassins, at an unknown point in time. He practiced multiple martial arts, particularly snake style Kung Fu, which he preferred to call "viper style." He also trained in Chinese swordsmanship.

His master, Axel Trevor, ordered him to assassinate former Guild member, Kaz Becker. He infiltrated Cain Jetson's street racing crew in Tokyo, but his plans were exposed and a chase ensued. The conflict concluded when Han fired his gun at Becker's car, but the latter crashed into his car, causing his right eye to be permanently damaged.

Amari was extradited to the United States of America and incarcerated in Maxside Prison.

### Imprisonment

#### Tormenting Kaz

Amari later reunited with Becker after the latter revealed his secret identity as a vigilante. He and Guild alumnus Elliot Taylor formed an alliance to torment their enemy.

#### Arena Duel

Eventually, Han and Taylor incapacitated security guards on an underground level and challenged Becker to a ring fight. Han was nearly victorious, but was was ultimately defeated by Becker, who was the superior fighter.

## Abilities

* **Peak Human Condition:** Han was in peak physical condition from his training with the Guild of Death. He was incredibly fast, able to strike with deadly, serpent-like speed and precision due to his high levels of hand-eye coordination, muscle memory and flexibility.
* **Expert Martial Artist:** Having been trained by Axel Trevor himself, Han was an exceptionally skilled martial artist. His style is flexible, explosive, fluid, moldable, elastic, and deadly. He moves only slightly to avoid attacks, which miss by inches, and strikes with deadly speed and accuracy at vulnerable, vital areas on his opponent's body for maximum debilitation. His style is comprised of Muay Thai, Shotokan Karate, Viper Style Kung Fu and Wushu. As such, he is an outstanding kickboxer with an arsenal of kicks at his disposal and great punching and striking techniques. He was able to go to-to-toe with Kaz Becker, although he was defeated each time. Han is also trained in swordsmanship, with the jian and the dual dao broadswords.
* **Skilled Marksman:** Han was capable of using firearms when the situation calls for it, particularly pistols and revolvers.
* **Stealth:** Han was capable of remaining unseen if he desires.

## Techniques

*"The snake teaches us suppleness and rhythmic endurance."*
—Han Amari
* **Viper Style Kung Fu:** Han's specialty was snake style Kung Fu, which he preferred to call "viper style." His style focused on attacking areas of weakness while mimicking the speed of a snake. His techniques implement fluid movement and snake-like stance shifts. He uses quick hand movements for flexible striking and blocking techniques.
* **Luohan Quan:** Han was also versatile in the 18 Hands tactics, such as the Chin Na techniques "Carry the Basket on Arm," "Dragon Subduing Hand," "Twisting a Strand of Silk," "Monk Ropes the Tiger," and "Mirror Palm." He used other techniques like "Drawing the Bow," "Cannon Mounted on Beam," "Deft Sewing Needle," "Single Rafter," "Golden Hook," the "Iron Broom" sweep, "Swing Hammer over Body," "Mandarin Duck Feet," "Chopping the Log," "Twisted Phoenix Elbow," and "Monk Push the Door."

## Equipment

### Weaponry

* **Colt M1911A1:** Han fired his pistol from his car at Kaz before the latter collided into him with his car.
* **Glock 17:** Han obtained this pistol from a prison guard. He used it to kill Elliot Taylor when he learned he was blowing up the prison. Immediately after the explosion, Axel Trevor transported Han to safety, giving him three days to find his son Peter and report back to him. He kept it hidden on his person, and prepared to use it when his home was invaded by Trevor. He used it against him but failed due to the latter's inhuman speed, and lost his pistol when he was taken into police custody.
* **Heckler & Koch USP Compact:** Han took this pistol from a criminal guarding Neo Arcadia High School in his quest to peacefully reunite with Peter. He equipped it with a makeshift suppressor made out of a water bottle stuffed with paper. He lost the firearm before facing Axel.
* **Smith & Wesson Model 10:** Han disarmed Julian Toruno of his sidearm when the latter attempted to arrest him, and began using it as his new sidearm. He aimed it at the Raider when he announced his name in a darkened restaurant.
