After the war, he still feels the need to fight. He was attacked by Virak and his group as they both felt the need to fight. Eulpaso killed them and took Virak's head. He meets Wonsul and showed him the head and explained their reasoning. He leaves Jyushin army.

#### Corruption and Fall of Jyunshin

During the civil war, he and his unit assisted Wonsul of their rebellion. However, when Ajitae shows up and kill so many people with his instant death, Eulpaso was about to submit like the others but was shocekd when Munsu was affected. Ajitae self destructs that destroys Jyushin but somehow pushes Eulpaso and the others elsewhere.

He at somepoint was found by Ajitae and was for unknown reason submitted to being his servant. Eulpaso begins working for Ajitae, serving under Wonhyo as the national police capturing criminals to work at the furnace, which is actually a poppy field to grow drugs in order to trade opium with the west for weapons.

### Present

#### Poisonous Flowers Arc

Paso meets Munsu at a bar after shooting a runaway slave. They begin a gunfight.

After Wonhyo is defeated, Paso shows up shooting Miss Hwang (who is disguised as a weak boy) and releasing all the demons that Wonhyo had created. However, he did not expect the boy he just shot to be Miss Hwang, a Royal Inspector. She reveals her identity and releases the ghost army in medallion, killing all the demons. Miss Hwang also releases her sando to take down Eulpaso. It was thought that he was eaten but somehow survived. He became Miss Hwang's bangja but why she spared him is unclear, even to Eulpaso.

#### Hwalbindang Arc

Off-screen, in one of Miss Hwang's missions, they encounter the Hwalbindang and are defeated. Miss Hwang was taken captive and Eulpaso was intentionally let go so he could seek for help eventually leading to Munsu. Paso shows up in Mito's place in the mountains and begs Munsu's party for help. However as he is explaining, Dolseok crashes and steps on his head. He wakes up later but stays behind.

Very much later, he and Youngsil traveled to Gimhae kingdom only to find everyone they know injured and Munsu dead.

#### Mundrake Dream Arc

He traveled with Miss Hwang as they witness Ajitae's forces devastating the lands and villages. He then tells Miss Hwang of how Munsu was unaffected by Ajitae's power and how Jyushin fell.

Later, they assists the newly awaken Munsu in rescuing those at Mito's home. When an undead was to attack Miss Hwang, he saved her but they began bickering.

#### Final Battle Arc

In the final battle, he takes the staff once again as he fights Ajitae's army. In the final battle, he and Su take care of fighting Myowol, but are unable to defeat her and thus lead her back to where Miss Hwang is. Miss Hwang is stupefied to see that Paso would gather more enemies to the same place, but that is when he reveals his place of the bomb strapped on his body and sacrifices himself to kill the three generals: Myowol, Pyo, and Nahan.

Surprisingly he actually survived but was severely injured. After the final battle won for Munsu's forces, he continued to serve Miss Hwang as her bangja.

## Trivia

* Explicitly revealed in the YLAB Encyclopedia, he is a part of White as "X-Dimension."
* In the original Eulpaso died in the final battle. He was stabbed and sliced vertically while his torso exploded due to timed explosives that was set. However in the webtoon, everything is the same except that he wasn't sliced and survived miaraculously.
	+ His survival was met with severe criticism from Korean readers as although he could had survived being pierced. The explosives that was on him still blew up. Which injured Myowol severely and killed Pyo and Nahan. In addition to the surrounding area. Yet he survived with all four limbs intact. It would had been better if there were new illustrations that changed the outcome that ensures his survival logically instead of a halfhearted change for the Super String Universe.
* His name based on the historical character "Eulpaso," a prime minister and famous strategist during the Goguryeo era who was a scholarly advisor to the Emperor at that time.
	+ Apart from the name, Inwan reveals in his footnotes that the Eulpaso in the Webtoon is nothing like the actual historical figure. As he used his name as he like it and think that Japanese readers will remember it more easier.
* The White Tiger Unit that he was in was also the nickname given to the 707th Special Mission Group, which is an elite counter-terrorism unit in the Republic of Korea Army Special Warfare Command.
* In a collab with Kingdom of the Winds: Yeon, he is featured as a playable character.
