Background / History

At age ten, Yaqing became suspicious of the circumstances surrounding his parents’ deaths. After investigating for a year, he identified the mastermind at twelve and spent the following four years driving the Gonzales Family—holders of 16.4% of Destiny Group’s shares—into bankruptcy. He completed his revenge at sixteen, destroying a century-old family and attracting Otto’s attention 1.

Otto subsequently helped Yaqing take control of the Schariac Family’s assets and entrusted him with an entire division of Destiny Group. This led shareholders to speculate that Otto was preparing him as a successor 1.

Yaqing later traveled to Changkong City with his older sister Cecilia and brother-in-law Ziegfried, inspected St. Freya Academy, and established Destiny’s Far East operations. From his dedicated top-floor office, he organized the company’s creative departments and began producing an anime adaptation of Honkai 1 3.

After the first film’s release, Yaqing continued the project despite mixed reactions and internal resistance. He publicly confronted Destiny’s board of directors, using Otto’s support and his own allies to retain control of the production 34 38. Following an attempted assassination in Central Europe, he confronted the Schariac elders and reduced the Destiny board to ten members, four aligned with him 102.

Appearance

Yaqing is a handsome young man with flaxen hair and clear green eyes. He generally presents himself in refined formalwear when working, though his casual life at the Golden Courtyard includes far less dignified dinosaur pajamas 73 132 369.

• Frequently wears high-end suits and ties for business meetings 38 39.
• Maintains a polished, gentlemanly public image around unfamiliar people 2 32.
• His hair is described as having an especially good texture by Mobius 204.

Personality

Yaqing is calculating, self-assured, and ruthless when dealing with threats. His childhood revenge, control of corporate assets, and handling of Destiny’s board demonstrate a willingness to exploit weaknesses and decisively remove obstacles 1 38 102.

In ordinary interactions, he is playful, sarcastic, and fond of teasing friends, relatives, and rivals. He can be manipulative—provoking Kevin’s insecurities, interfering with Shigure Kira, and leveraging personal knowledge in negotiations—but he also shows concern for overworked staff and those close to him 49 50 81 140.

Despite his poised public manner, Yaqing struggles with social anxiety and emotional avoidance. He can become charismatic and composed during livestreams or professional appearances, yet initially avoided acknowledging Mobius’s feelings for years because he did not know how to face love or intimacy 48 49 77. He eventually chooses to confront those feelings and openly commits to Mobius 78.
