Background / History

Zhang Yinghao was already Gu Qingshan's partner when the two dealt with a casino that refused to pay its winnings. He described their business bluntly as “killing people” and regarded Gene Modification beasts as easier opponents than a Martial Venerable. 94

When Gu Qingshan began tracking a Killer Ghost, Zhang Yinghao insisted on accompanying him despite the danger. Presenting himself as the Boss of the Killer Guild, he argued that partners should contribute to one another's missions. 135

He helped Gu Qingshan recruit Ye Feili, quickly recognizing that Ye's physical insanity was connected to the dangerous fourth stage of Heaven Chosen evolution. Zhang Yinghao offered to treat Ye Feili's mother as his own responsibility and provide Ye with a place to rest. 135 136

At a later point, he became Guild Master of the Hunter Association. When Gu Qingshan sought to disrupt the World's established Fate line, Zhang Yinghao accepted his invitation to cooperate despite the uncertain nature of Gu Qingshan's organization. 2125

Personality

Zhang Yinghao is confident, theatrical, and eager to prove himself useful. He habitually frames loyalty in terms of partnership, volunteering for dangerous work even when Gu Qingshan deliberately withholds sensitive details. 135

He remains relaxed around trusted companions after extensive travel and hardship, but is realistic about the disparity between his own abilities and those of Gu Qingshan, Ye Feili, and their powerful allies. 972

His personal life can be impulsive: he once used his Heaven Chosen Skill to search for a romantic partner out of boredom, and he pursued Shen Yu by ordering roses for her. 176 193
