#### Early Life

Koi was trained with Lila and Zubin to become assassins. Koi started his training at age 6. He believes he would've started earlier, because his mom called him dumb so many times that he actually started to believe it. Koi reveals that he's "never been a fan of Lila", but him and Zubin were close before Zubin's first kill. Koi was the youngest agent to kill, being *8 years old* at the time. His mission was to stop a man from assassinating George Washington. Not only was it his first mission, but it was a successful one too. Koi states that he only knows what love is because of The Handler. It is unknown when, but at some point he realizes that if he starts fires, his *mom* goes easier on him during training. This leads to him finding out he loves fire. His love for Fire also ends with him burning himself, he earns himself a permanent burn mark on him stomach at age 13.

#### Meeting Jae

Before the events of Season 1, Koi tries to explain to his mom that he needs to leave The Commission. His mother denies and says if he does she'll have to search and kill him. Koi doesn't retire because he can't tell if she's joking or not. He goes to a bar, where he meets Jae. Koi introduces himself to Jae, who attempts to ignore him. When Jae is drunk enough, Koi asks him who he is, to which Jae tells him about his powers. Koi tells Jae that he also have powers, and that he's always envied The Umbrella Academy, and he's supposed to kill them. When they both find out they have the same motives, they agree to team up and destroy and kill *The Umbrella Academy*.

#### The Beginning of The Finale

Jae introduces Koi to Olivia, another one of the 43 who failed to get adopted. Soon, Koi is able to persuade Zubin into joining him, Jae, and Olivia. During a mission, he kills two parents, and find out that they have a daughter, a small child who also have *powers*. Koi takes her back to The Commission to become an agent. They then start their plan to kill the *Hargreeves*. He then reveal to Jae and Zubin that he loves both of them, which starts their relationship. He is not there when Zubin, Lila, The Handler and their sister, Jasmine Miner, attack the Academy in the *1960's.*

## Personality

At age 8, he succeeds in his first mission. He says he didn't feel bad for the killing, and actually likes it. He likes to toy with his victims, making them believe their safe and then burning them. He's a pyromaniac, and states that he loves burning things, and isn't quite sure why. This addiction started when he used fire as a way to lessen the aggressiveness of his training. He's extroverted, and loves talking. Sometimes he forgets the objective of his mission and gets distracted talking to anyone. A commission worker gave him a teddy bear as congratulations for his first mission. He talked to it whenever he couldn't talk to anyone else, and he still has it leading up to the events of season 2 and after. He's ruthless, but very smart academically. He is not good with detecting social cues
