Background

He Caitou was born Xu He, a prince of the Sun Moon Empire and its first recorded Twin Martial Souls soul master. He concealed his identity and altered his appearance after fleeing the empire; Fan Yu later saved his life and brought him to Shrek Academy. His Second Martial Soul, the Sun, is an Assault Type inheritance of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, but he initially kept it unused to avoid exposing his origins at Shrek. 301 302 442

As a former palace resident, He Caitou developed a deep dislike of domineering authority figures. He resented Zhou Yi's conduct and quietly welcomed Qian Chaoguang's exposure of her, believing it ultimately allowed Fan Yu to see her true nature and end their relationship. 108

He joined the Tang Sect while serving on Shrek's Seven Devils Reserve Team. During this period, he revealed his tragic past and his determination to avenge himself upon the Sun Moon Royal Family. Qian Chaoguang offered him that vengeance in exchange for a difficult loyalty test: whether he would remain at Qian's side even if it meant opposing the faith and faction he had always trusted. After a week of reflection, He Caitou chose Qian Chaoguang. 163

He later accompanied Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy under the Limit Individual Soldier Plan. His exceptional aptitude for Fixed Soul Tools became impossible for Lin Jiayi to suppress or ignore. 301 339

Appearance

He Caitou is a towering, heavily built dark-skinned young man with a shiny bald head. Though only nineteen during the Sea God's Fate convention, he is often perceived as older because of his massive frame and deep, muffled voice. 439 442

• Thick, muscular build; described as sturdy and imposing even without activating a Martial Soul. 497
• Black bald head, revealed when his mecha helmet retracts. 439
• Wore a fitted dark-blue formal outfit at Sea God's Fate. 439
• His silver-and-black mecha enlarges his silhouette to over four meters tall. 439 497

Personality

He Caitou is straightforward, honest, and simple in manner. He can be socially awkward—especially when speaking publicly—and becomes visibly nervous when asked to discuss anything beyond cultivation, Soul Tools, and combat. 108 442

Beneath this unassuming demeanor, he carries intense resentment toward the Sun Moon Royal Family and a willingness to sacrifice himself for the people he trusts. When asked whether he would face even a Limit Douluo for Qian Chaoguang's cause, he stated he would detonate his own Fixed Soul Cannonballs and Soul Tools to buy time or block an attack. 163

He is also diligent and resilient. When assigned to the Limit Individual Soldier Plan, he requested only that the training not kill him. Though usually quiet and reserved, he grows increasingly brash and confident as his power rises. 297 758

Mecha and Fortress Warfare

• He can also deploy at least three hundred long-range Soul Tools for airborne saturation bombardment. 499

Close-Combat Mecha Combat

Despite being a Food System Soul Master and artillery specialist, He Caitou can use his mecha for direct physical combat.

• His Second Martial Soul gives him a body described as sturdy as an ox. 457
• Used twin heavy hammers and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to overwhelm a Heavenly Armor Sect opponent. 499
• His massive physical presence regularly causes others to mistake him for an Assault Type Soul Master. 497 548
