## Character History

### Before Season 2

When he was young, he was called Ah Quan and was part of the Sky Lotus Sect, training to reject his emotions for strong spiritual energy. However, he fell in love with his senior, Jiang Huilian, and confessed his love for her. She rejected him as she was about to become the sect's successor.

Furious, he made a pact with the Blood Demon and became a raging monster, able to steal energy from his opponents by draining their blood. He returned to the Sky Lotus Sect and massacred a great number of the students there. He was stopped by the survivors and was healed by Jiang before he died, resulting in their banishment from the sect.

He joins Xuanwu's Shadow Assassins at an undetermined point in time. When Seven was recruited amongst them, Redtooth attempted to kill him, angered that someone with no killing history seems to have the chief's favors. He was stopped by Qing Feng.

### Season 2

In Mission 9: Redtooth, he comes to Chicken Island to force Jiang to remove the seal she put on him to limit his power. He first dominates the fight, but after Jiang kisses Seven and regains her powers, he's easily defeated by her. She halts her attack because she feared her purifications techniques would kill him if he tried to resist them.

Redtooth used this moment as an opening to bite Seven, and he gains an enormous power boost from him. Eventually, he recognized Seven and decided to use the opportunity to settle the duel they had six years prior. Blue Phoenix creates a barrier around them to prevent people from interfering or witnessing their fight, leading to Redtooth and Seven’s battle. Redtooth almost kills Seven due to him having no more strength to fight, but Seven is rescued by Blue Phoenix, who finishes off Redtooth. After Redtooth’s death and Seven’s victory, Seven and Blue Phoenix created a lie, that Seven killed Redtooth and everyone believed them, without knowing Redtooth’s true killer.

### Season 3

Although not directly shown, Redtooth is referenced in the very first episode where Seven is in the Miracle Doctor’s infirmary with Dai Bo, Xiao Fei, and De HaChun. Chairman Jiang can be seen in the background talking to the doctor, showing him Redtooth’s earrings. In the post-credits scene of the final episode of Season 3, Redtooth is seen in the original shrine where he made the first pact with the Blood Demon. He is chained to a woman wearing what appears to be the Sky Lotus Sect attire while bathing in the red blood where he's completely healed of all of his wounds. It's possible that she's Chairman Jiang and has had something to do with his revival, but it seems that now he has returned, his thirst for revenge is greater than ever. Now not only wanting to duel with Seven, but also wanting to kill Blue Phoenix.

## Abilities and techniques

### Blood Demon Pact

Due to Jiang "White Lotus Seal". The Blood Demon was sealed into his body. In exchange for being the host, he granted the power from the Blood Demon gaining strength and Qi-based on his ability to siphon on blood to transfer his enemies’ energy into his body. The stronger the host, the stronger he is.

### **Blood Demon Defense**

When Redtooth Feels overwelled or when he is out of options, he calls for the blood demon to grant him "Blood Demon Defense" where it seems very durable, but can be broken.

He seems to only use it as a last resort as it strain's his body due to the White Lotus Seal.

## Personality

He is unstable and hot-headed. After being rejected by Jiang, heartbroken, he made a pact with the blood demon and killed many followers from his sect. He's bloodthirsty and likes fighting strong opponents. When Seven first joins the Shadow Assassins, he tries to kill him but passes it off as welcoming bullying when Blue Phoenix stops him.

## Relationships

### Chairman Jiang

Redtooth was once in love with his senior, so much so that he once asked her to run away with him, but was rejected. He still holds resentment towards her claiming that she rejected him due to her desire to know the secrets of the Sky Lotus Sect. He hates how she sounds like their old master. Despite this, he is shown to have some care for her, admitting that even though she had a bounty, he would rather not kill her,which indicates that deep down he still loves her.

### Seven

He seems to dislike him as he was angered that even though he had no killing history, he seems to have the chief's favors. Because of that rivalry, Redtooth attempted to kill him when Seven first joined the Shadow Killer ranks. In Season 2, when Redtooth found out Seven is alive, Instead of leaving to tell the chief that he is alive, he decided to use the opportunity to settle the duel they had six years prior.
