Background
Raymond comes from a prominent family and knew several fellow freshmen through family connections before entering the Fourth Military Academy. His maternal uncle, Theodore, holds an important position at the academy 9.
He initially joined the live Zerg exercise to bolster his credentials, but also felt pressure to participate because Qin Su was in his class and his family’s reputation was at stake 40.

- For weapons class, he wore his hair combed back, a black shirt with gold trim, fitted dress pants, and polished leather shoes 26.
- He considered himself less muscular than He Muzhi, but noted that he had no flab 28.
Personality
Raymond is socially conscious and quick to recognize perceived differences in status. He was intimidated by Qin Su’s apparent background and strength, but adapted his behavior rather than openly antagonizing him 9 14 22.
He can be theatrical and teasing, particularly around He Muzhi. Despite his fear during combat, he acts to protect others: he helped contain a pheromone disturbance, shot a Zerg threatening He Muzhi, and risked his life to save Jeffrey 24 28 45 48.

Story Role
Investigating Qin Su
After meeting Qin Su at the entrance ceremony, Raymond sought his enrollment data from Theodore and showed it to his friends. The record listed Qin Su’s gender and background as question marks, deepening their belief that he had an extraordinary background. Raymond posted the data on the academy forum, but deleted the post after witnessing Qin Su’s apparent pheromone pressure 9 10 14.
Training and Simulated Combat
Raymond arrived eight seconds late to physical training after struggling with the school uniform and was ordered to perform sixty push-ups. When He Wenyuan released pheromones during the run, Raymond joined He Muzhi in containing the affected students 23 24.
In the simulated battle, Qin Su took Raymond’s AOM390 and eliminated him. Later, during the weightlifting exercise, Raymond warned He Muzhi against attempting the No. 36 Lizard Viper and lent Qin Su a pheromone isolation shield, which Qin Su crushed while intimidating He Wenyuan 29 30 35 37.
Live Zerg Exercise
Raymond sought extra instruction before Class 6’s first live Zerg encounter. During the exercise, he protected He Muzhi from an attacking Kisslip Tree Armadillo and expressed concern about his injury 39 45 46.
When the class fought a mutated Kisslip Tree Armadillo, Raymond rammed his warship into a tentacle to save Jeffrey. His damaged suit left him falling toward the creature’s mouth, but Qin Su caught him with the Z-X307 and gave him an intact combat suit. Raymond intended to return for Qin Su after the evacuation, so Jeffrey knocked him unconscious and carried him aboard the escaping spacecraft 48 49.
