Background / History

Gecko was already an established Qinggang action-team ability user when Lu Xin was assessed. His Spider-type control had reached eighty percent, making him a reference case for Lu Xin’s tests; Chen Jing later assigned him to mentor the newcomer through practical fieldwork rather than theory 7 40 47.

He and Lu Xin handled Special Pollution Source No. 039 together, beginning a long-running partnership. Gecko taught Lu Xin how to work with the Information Analysis Team, demonstrated field mobility, and used his own experience to guide the inexperienced recruit 47. He later became Lu Xin’s preferred driver and partner for the Blackwater Town and Happy Town operations 126 128 149.

During the Blackwater Town operation, Gecko supported Lu Xin’s investigation, guarded captives, fought psychological modifiers, and used Qinggang’s armed vehicle and a threat of missile fire to force the town authorities to back down 130 134 136 140. The experience left him deeply unsettled by Lu Xin’s interrogation methods and unusual family, though he ultimately chose to accept them rather than pry further 144.

Gecko joined Lu Xin and Chen Jing’s Buffalo City mission, where he scouted ahead through flesh-and-blood pollution and survived a courtyard full of life fragments mimicking his appearance 342 351 353 358. After calling Lu Xin for help against an overwhelming monster, he became widely associated with the captain despite being officially assessed as an unusually stable B-class Spider-type 369 370 403.

He was formally introduced as deputy captain of the Solo Soldier Squad, alongside Lu Xin and Kid 383. Later, Qinggang assigned him to negotiate with the Queen of Happy Town, a task he carried out despite being visibly terrified by her restored abilities and undead attendants 522 531.

During the Black Marsh City crisis, Gecko fought crowds, served as a distraction, and was briefly granted Sister’s second-stage Spider-type power, allowing him to affect other bodies 541 563 570. He subsequently became deputy captain of the Tyrant Squad and adopted the title “Great Priest of Terror” 893.

Appearance

Gecko is repeatedly described as handsome and presents himself with deliberate confidence, even in dangerous situations 40 143.

• Often wears sunglasses, which do not conceal his conspicuous smile 40.
• Has worn black leather clothing with concealed restraints and weapons 50.
• Uses a black, form-fitting combat suit on high-risk missions 342.
• His appearance was precisely replicated by life fragments affected by the 12-tier Rubik’s Cube 353 470.

Personality

Gecko is carefree, flirtatious, and highly talkative. He enjoys teasing people, boasting about his looks, and attempting to impress women such as Tie Cui Linda and Chen Jing 39 143 342. He also uses jokes and constant chatter to conceal nervousness, particularly when other people are in danger 102 116.

Despite his fearfulness, Gecko is not unwilling to act. He repeatedly accompanies Lu Xin into dangerous areas, scouts hostile terrain, confronts armed opponents, and remains loyal even when he believes a mission may be beyond his ability 149 353 541. His fear of Lu Xin’s family and powerful pollution sources is genuine, but he adapts by accepting his situation and continuing to work 144 771.

Gecko values relaxation as a means of maintaining emotional balance. He introduced Lu Xin to nightlife as his personal method of avoiding loss of control and routinely seeks leisure after difficult missions 56 167.
