## Appearance

He is handsome with an oily smirk and a calculating look in his eyes.

## Personality

He possesses a Machiavellianism personality trait and is a subtle scammer who manipulates his allies and enemies to his own goals and is specialized in agitation and fabrication. In [*Ch. 340*], Elena Everia stated that she has never seen such a pure, disgusting soul.

He is a philandering cad who is in multiple romantic relationships with multiple women, and frequently gaslights Jung Hayan for his gain, he is aware of his trashy scum personality.

He always judges his relationships with others by whether they benefit him or not and won't hesitate to throw away useless people. He tries to take care of his people, but he disposes of those who are not close friends or who have a bad relationship with him. Later, he starts to care more about his friends, although he pretends he doesn't.

He regularly holds up the appearance of a man of compassion, good faith, integrity, kindness, and religiousness to the public, though he doesn't hesitate to throw these virtues away when he is threatened. While he avoids being hated and contemptuous by the large populace, he is indifferent to his enemy's opinion of him.

He is an excellent politician and strategist who uses Machiavellianism to achieve his goals. He never stops making plans to further his goals and protect himself. Many of his plans are extremely shrewd and he won't hesitate at using cruelty, shown when he manipulates the public opinion of Ito Souta to one of a demon worshipper and suggesting to purify him by drowning him in a statue of holy water.

Due to his limited talents in his stats excluding intelligence and luck which are heroic grade, he is an extremely hard worker who always does his best to prove his worth. Despite his own evaluation regarding his value as trash, his genius intellect, innovation, and initiative make him one of the most valuable people on the continent.

He never yields regarding his own goals stating others should yield not him, though he may compromise to achieve them.

He grows ‘some’ morals in Chapter 875, he is said to feel guilty and revives Kim Hyunsung even though he does not need him anymore as the 2nd timeline has changed from the first timeline due to his interference.

Later onwards he sacrifices himself for completing Kim-Hyungsung God Plan made by Lee Kiyoung one from the first timeline. Sometime during the first timeline Kim-Hyungsung changes or inspires Lee-Kiyoung causing him to give up his revenge. Later onwards he destroys the continent due to it being one of the conditions to allow regression.

All the deaths and everything he causes against Kim-Hyunsung in the first timeline is also implied to be for his growth.
