Background

Berg was a refugee child taken in by Robert despite opposition from others in Fruit Basket Village. Robert became a father figure to him, while Berg grew up regarding Anlìyà as his own sister. He supported the impoverished village by hunting and sharing or selling his prey. 5 28 39

He developed the Hunter profession without a teacher and became the village's sole Hunter. Hunting was also his personal ambition: he wanted to pursue stronger prey and eventually leave for a City-State to seek a path of advancement. 5 10

Appearance

Berg is a brown-haired young man with a weathered, angular face and a physique that grows increasingly sturdy over the course of the story. His usual bearing is stern and restrained. 5 19 39 176

• Brown eyes that become amber and metallic after drinking the Eagle Eye potion, creating the impression of a raptor locking onto prey. 48
• His eyes turn luminous ice-blue while using Death of All Things. 70 83
• Commonly carries a bow, quiver, arrows, and a sword. 5 48 134
• Wears leather armor during hunts and combat. 49

Personality

Berg is disciplined, ambitious, and intensely devoted to the path of the Hunter. He deliberately controls his emotions while hunting, believing that a Hunter who loses composure can become the prey instead. 10

His loyalty to Xian is absolute. After being accepted as Xian's Servant, he frames himself as his lord's “hunting dog,” placing Xian's safety, honor, and orders above his own life. 20 70

He is protective and compassionate toward victims of exploitation, but ruthless toward people he judges to have harmed Xian or the vulnerable. His desire for revenge against Victor Night Shadow nearly causes him to strike Victor's Death Spot during their spar. 49 51 83

Abilities & Skills

Death of All Things

• Can be combined with Eagle Eye and Sense Enhancement to identify a lethal opening in combat. 83 93
• Was used to kill an Earth Bear during a solo hunt. 117
• Its first use left Berg exhausted, and stacking it with his other abilities places an extreme burden on him. 70 83

With My Brothers

Berg's Transcendent Rank Status Blessing, formally Bestowed by Xian. 70

• With the King — strengthens Berg when he is loyal to Xian; the more anger Xian feels, the greater the enhancement. A portion of the strength gained through each loyal act remains permanently. 70

• Can accurately shoot wolves at distances beyond Xian's ability to clearly see them. 48

Relationships

• Xian / Prince Mingyu Xia — Savior, lord, and eventually friend. Berg rescued Xian from wolves, swore lifelong service to him, and was formally Bestowed as his Servant. 2 20 70 170
• Robert — Foster father figure and former village chief. Robert took Berg in as a refugee and later punished him severely for disobeying Xian's instructions. 19 28
• Anlìyà — Childhood sister figure. Berg has regarded her as his own sister since childhood and remains protective of her. 5 6 22
• Sauron Knight — Trainer and mentor. Sauron recognized Berg's killing instinct, trained him in swordsmanship, and advised him to consider becoming a Knight. 37 39 48
• Victor Night Shadow — Enemy. Berg despised Victor for the suffering inflicted on Night Shadow Territory, resisted killing him during a spar, and later tortured him after Victor's defeat. 83 93
• Tamerlane — Fellow attendant whose overwhelming strength motivates Berg to seek further power. 167 170

Story Role / Major Arcs

Fruit Basket Village

Berg saves the stranded Xian from a wolf pack, then seeks to become his Servant in exchange for the chance to pursue strength. Xian initially refuses because he lacks the means to protect or support him. 2 5 6

He assists Xian in confronting Mills, the merchant who swindled Fruit Basket Village. After Xian allows the village to retain Mills's money for its agricultural tax, Berg gains renewed respect for him. 10 11

After revealing Xian's information while attempting to protect Xian and Anlìyà, Berg is punished by Robert. Xian instead makes him a Servant for life, grants him the surname Chu, and accepts his oath of allegiance. 18 19 20

Hunter Advancement

Berg chooses the Hunter path despite being warned that advanced Hunters risk losing control and replacing their organs with magical-beast organs. Xian allows him to make the decision for himself. 37 39 40

He drinks the Eagle Eye potion, survives its effects, and advances to the Transcendent Rank. He then proves his improved abilities by hunting a pack of Gray Wolves. 47 48 49

Red Rose Brothel and Night Shadow War

When Xian orders the Red Rose Brothel's guilty personnel killed, Berg carries out the order with ruthless efficiency, using arrows and his sword against its armed defenders. 50 51

He later confronts Victor Night Shadow, a lord he blames for starving and exploiting his people. During the war, Berg destroys Victor's magic potion with an arrow, kills an armored enemy through a gap in his helmet, and is permitted to torture Victor before Karen executes him. 83 93

Bestowed Servant and Hunting Master

Xian formally Bestows With My Brothers upon Berg, linking them through Of One Mind and awakening Berg's Death of All Things. 68 70

Quest for Greater Strength

After witnessing Tamerlane's power during the assassination attempt at the Monster Circus, Berg becomes frustrated that he could not protect Xian himself. 167
