Taehyeong Lim

Taehyeong Lim **(*임태형 Lim Tae-Hyeong*)** is a minor antagonist of *Questism*. He is currently the No.12 of West Gangbuk High but prior to joining the West, he was the No.13 of North Gangbuk High and one of North Gangbuk's Central Five.

## History

### Past

Around 1 year before the events of Questism, Taehyeong and the other members of the Central Five were brainwashed by Yun Jo and swore fealty to him.

### Current

Taehyeong first appears in a gathering with other members of the Central Five, Jintae Heo, Eunhyeong Ji and Minu Do, to discuss the North's conquest against the south, also known as West Gangbuk High. Jintae, appointed supreme leader of the conquest, decides that they should attack Suhyeon Kim in one fell swoop, promising Taehyeong and the others that they be rewarded when they succeed as they had out.

He sends Jeong-u Song to measure West Gangbuk's strength to Jintae confusion. Taehyeong justifies the decision by reminding him of Jeong-u's past as a Muay Thai athlete, stating that he could have easily become top dog of the south and that he'll be ready for whoever shows up, having given him intel on all of the south's fighters. He then says that the rumours of West Gangbuk's No.2, Gukja Yang, are way off base and that he's actually weak as shit.

He witnesses Jintae beating Hyeokjae Baek, Minho Jo and Chanho Baek for losing to the West. And moments later he and the other members of the Central Five watch as Jintae is water tortured by Jeongdu Ma. Jeongdu then threatens them, saying that they will be held accountable if they fail to capture Suhyeon Kim again.

He and the other Central Five then plot an all-out assault on the West starting with their business, the snack bar. In executing the assault, he and Baekgi go to West Gangbuk to keep the West's main forces occupied while Jintae and Minu attack the snack bar.

*TBA*

After the conclusion of the war between the Central Five and West Gangbuk, Taehyeong, along with Eunhyeong, Minu and Baekgi, are brought before Suhyeon to be recruited and shamed. Suhyeon tries to persuade them to join the West by using the Silver Tongue card, however, it turns out Taehyeong and the others had been under the affect of one of Yun Jo's card, Brainwashing Cord. But using his new card, Nullify, Suhyeon releases the Central Five from the card's effect and they join the West.

After the West suffers defeat at the hands of Cheon Taeho and his counterpart, Seonwoo Ha, he is deployed to Area C along with Seok Kang, Cheonhak, Minu, and Baekgi to deal with the duo.

## Trivia
