Background / History

Shen Fei is a cross-world traveler who accumulates techniques, resources, allies, and political influence across numerous worlds. His approach combines direct force with long-term planning: he studies local power systems, acquires useful techniques through exchange or combat, and avoids relying solely on conquest where governance would become the greater problem. 250 613 723

In the Hunter × Hunter world, he entered Greed Island and treated its Nen-based card system as a research opportunity. He investigated cardification, Divine Script, and space-attribute Nen while also pursuing the game’s rare cards. His willingness to kill Alvis after obtaining a card established his ruthless pragmatism. 250 255

During the Qin era, Shen Fei became closely associated with Ying Zheng. He protected Ying Zheng during assassination attempts, trained with Gai Nie, learned Ghost Valley internal cultivation, and later gained access to the Yin-Yang School’s arts through his Five Elements Harmony aptitude. 282 284 285 He eventually served Qin as national preceptor, destroyed major anti-Qin resistance, and used the Mohist Mechanical City campaign to defeat hostile schools and factions. 572 577

Shen Fei later intervened in the Tang-era struggle for unification. He recruited capable figures, built institutions including orphanages, paper mills, glass factories, and a newspaper workshop, and used mechanical beasts as military assets. 729 761 772 After taking Chang’an, he prepared to ascend the throne while declining to reside in the imperial palace. 800

In the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world, he became leader of the Ming Cult, dismantled Yuan authority, reshaped the Cult into an educational institution, destroyed Shaolin after it resisted his reforms, and unified the realm as emperor. 1790 1810

Personality

Shen Fei is pragmatic, calculating, and intensely focused on self-improvement. He regularly studies unfamiliar energy systems and martial arts, but rejects techniques whose power comes with severe side effects or conflicts with his long-term goals. 285 613

He can be ruthless toward enemies, corrupt officials, and obstructive factions. He kills opponents such as Alvis, Zhu Jia, Xiao Yaozi, Duan Lang, and Yi Jianqiu when he judges them to be threats or irredeemable. 255 283 577 616 1967 However, he is not indiscriminately cruel: he spared Jing Ke and Dao Zhi out of respect for their loyalty and the Mohist School’s ideals. 298

His stated principle is to cultivate personal virtue while powerless and benefit others once powerful. This informs his establishment of schools, industrial projects, medical publications, and reforms in conquered territories. 547 729 772 1810
