Background
Jiang Xiao was a crew member of the merchant ship Doran. Before his imprisonment, he smuggled Tier 1 contraband into the territory of an intermediate civilization for survival. The Doran later became central to his identity, stored assets, and access to its Mental Memory Terminal. 19 108
On Frontier Prison Star KL-21, Jiang Xiao entered Tier 1 through combat against Viper Race members. He awakened Origin Data, became a Mechanist, and drew the Black Mech Gang’s attention after obtaining and researching machinery connected to their Three-Phase Square Box. 3 7
After escaping the Old Capital Ruins, Jiang Xiao rescued the Pan-Human child Mu Yunxi—whom he calls Xiao Xi—from a Viper Clan camp. He returned her to Starfire Camp, where his actions brought him into contact with the Spark Gang’s leadership. 15 17 22
Jiang Xiao entered Sin City with Spark Gang assistance, built weapons and equipment for the uprising, rescued Xi Guang from the Sin City Council, and helped dismantle the Viper Gang’s power structure. His capture of a planetary defense ship enabled the Spark Gang’s prison break plan. 24 25 38 61 62
After leaving Prison Star, Jiang Xiao expanded his mechanical industry, pursued academic knowledge, established Origin Merchant, and developed the Spark Legion into a major armed force. His research and commercial reach later drew the attention of galactic corporations, Brilliant University, and the Noble Gold Royal Court. 93 117 198 319 321
Appearance
Following his Tier 2 evolution, Jiang Xiao is a young man approximately 1.9 meters tall. His appearance improved significantly after becoming a Primary Starry Human, though he commonly concealed part of his face with metal goggles during his time on Prison Star. 12 16
- Messy black hair and dark-brown eyes. 12 16
- A well-defined, pleasant-looking face that later became notably handsome through evolution. 16
- Originally wore metal goggles covering his upper face. 12

Personality
Jiang Xiao is cautious, analytical, and highly adaptive. He avoids revealing his full abilities when unnecessary, recognizing that visibility in Sin City would endanger both himself and his access to mechanical resources. 17
He is deeply protective of Pan-Humans while possessing an instinctive aversion to alien races. Xi Guang’s innate ability to sense emotions identifies his will toward Pan-Humans as warm, even while detecting his hostility toward aliens. 30
Despite his ruthlessness toward hostile gangs and criminals, Jiang Xiao repeatedly aids vulnerable Pan-Humans. He rescues Xiao Xi, protects Xi Guang during her recovery, and invests resources into the people who support him. 15 30 31 118
He has latent social anxiety around large groups, particularly groups of fellow humans, but is capable of maintaining a composed and professional demeanor in negotiations and dangerous encounters. 17 107 108
Jiang Xiao is intensely curious about technology, research, and production. He treats mechanical construction as both a survival tool and a personal passion, taking visible pride in his designs, mechanical soldiers, and industrial projects. 31 47 61
