Background / History

Wang is the second-ranked Sui Fragment, though the precise nature of his authority is unclear. He can mimic the powers of other Sui Fragments and has divided himself into 181 individuals known as Black Stones, intending to use them in a game of Go against heaven and kill the Sui Beast's true body. 61

After Lapland's conquest of Sicily, Wang appears before Talulah in Lungmen and introduces himself as the second of the Twelve Sui Phases. He challenges her to chess, claiming he wishes to understand the Emperor of the Holy Terra Empire through the game. An Xiu recognizes the significance of Wang's unexpected arrival, having expected other Sui Fragments to appear first. 61

Following several games, Wang changes the courtyard into a black-and-white realm and proposes using the realm itself as a chessboard. Talulah realizes that he repeatedly exploits the rules of the game—deliberately placing himself at a disadvantage before turning defeat into victory—and destroys the board with her flaming sword. Forced back by the flames, Wang retreats from Lungmen with Black Stone. 62

Later, Shu states that Wang has not contacted her since the incident. She speculates that he may have learned from their eldest brother that the Sui sisters in the Holy Terra Empire are unharmed. 87

Personality

Wang approaches others through games of chess, treating play as a means of judging character and testing opponents. 61

He is adept at exploiting rules and engineered reversals, using an apparent disadvantage to create a winning position. When Talulah identifies this pattern and overwhelms his realm by force, he recognizes his mistake and withdraws rather than prolonging the conflict. 62
