Background

Corpse Mister was formerly the Family Head of the Burial Clan. Xuan Old and Huang Old, once his uncles, betrayed the clan and colluded with the Gu Family in its extermination. Corpse Mister survived the attack through a secret method and devoted himself to revenge. His grief for his son, Lian Er, became part of that hatred. 1316 1317 1319

He is also a descendant of the fallen Heavenly Numbers. His knowledge preserves secrets concerning Pan Gu's defiance of the Heavenly Numbers, which he defines as slaying them and replacing them. 1464

For a time, he resided in a forbidden Yin Moon Imperial Dynasty hall saturated with Yin energy and protected by zombies and talismans. Even the Crown Prince was barred from entering this residence. 307

Appearance

Corpse Mister is a pale-faced man who commonly wears black robes. He maintains a composed, austere presence while performing corpse arts and rituals. 307

• Pale complexion. 307
• Black robes. 307
• Often carries ritual tools such as a bell, talismans, coffins, and the Blood-Dropping Heart. 378 512

Personality

Corpse Mister is calm, deliberate, and highly confident within the domain of corpses, zombies, and skeletons. Even when his Zombie Legion was consumed by Corpse Eating Ghost Insects, he remained composed enough to reanimate the fallen as a Skeleton Legion. 378 524

He is pragmatic in war, treating corpses as resources for armies, defenses, and refinement. His loyalty to Great Zheng develops after Zhong Shan subdues him, though Zhong Shan initially recognizes that winning Corpse Mister's allegiance does not mean winning his heart. 378 512

His composure gives way to profound grief and fury when confronting the betrayers of the Burial Clan. He sees through Xuan Old's false remorse and pursues vengeance without accepting reconciliation. 1316 1317 1319
