Background / History

Military Service

Kachino was a commoner Soul Master who became a squad leader in General Ge Long’s Left Vanguard Camp. When Mu Rong Chen, Xiao Lin, and Su Yuntao joined him, he promised never to abandon a member of the squad. Despite years of military service, he had not yet fought on a battlefield and privately admitted that he was frightened. He had been sent to the front shortly after the birth of the boy he believed was his son 57 58.

During their first battle, Kachino rallied the squad into a defensive circle and used the openings created by Mu Rong Chen’s poison mist to strike enemy Soul Masters. Only five members of the ten-man squad survived. Wounded himself, Kachino thanked Mu Rong Chen for preventing their complete destruction and accepted his proposal to open future attacks with crowd control 59 60.

Kachino later led his squad into Coiling Dragon Valley during the Heaven Dou army’s retreat. After the resulting victory, he encouraged Mu Rong Chen when the general summoned him, recognizing the importance of his wide-area control skills 63 64.

Escape and Homecoming

After five years together, Mu Rong Chen regarded Kachino as an experienced, dependable companion. When Star Luo forces breached the main camp, Kachino agreed to escape with him, Xiao Lin, and Su Yuntao. The four fought through the Shadow squad’s encirclement; Kachino held the front against its Soul Ancestor captain while Mu Rong Chen created their escape opening 71 72.

The group settled near Sunset Forest under the cover of having died on the battlefield. Mu Rong Chen gave Kachino a card holding one thousand Gold Soul Coins and instructed him to bring his family back secretly, warning that discovery would expose all four as deserters 75.

At home, Kachino overheard his wife and her lover mocking his presumed death and discussing Yi Er potentially awakening the lover’s Wooden Club martial soul. Believing the child was not his, he broke into the courtyard and killed both adults. He briefly hesitated when Yi Er called him “Daddy,” but then killed the child as well. The destruction of his household left him overwhelmed by grief and emptiness 76 77.

Recovery and Renewed Loyalty

Kachino returned to Sunset Town withdrawn and unresponsive. After Xiao Lin and Su Yuntao pressed him to explain, he recounted the killings. They shared their own losses—the massacre of Xiao Lin’s household and the destruction of Su Yuntao’s village—and Kachino pledged to treat their enemies as his own 82 83.

Mu Rong Chen subsequently prepared a pill specifically for Kachino’s limited-potential broadsword martial soul. Its refinement transformed the weapon into the Mystic Gold Saber. Kachino knelt before him and pledged his life in repayment, describing the gift as a new beginning rather than merely an increase in strength 88 89 90.

During the ensuing soul-ring hunt, Kachino helped his companions fight a Gale Eagle and a Blazing Berserk Lion. His own target, a six-thousand-year Earth Rampage Bear, overwhelmed the group and nearly killed him. Mu Rong Chen intervened, froze the bear, and directed Kachino to finish it with a strike to the throat 91 92.

Founding Fengyun Academy

Mu Rong Chen sent Kachino, Xiao Lin, and Su Yuntao to establish an academy opposite Shrek outside Suotuo City. Kachino held the land deed bearing all three companions’ names, and the completed Fengyun Academy became a place he regarded as their new home 92 95 97.

When Flender and Zhao Wuji overwhelmed the three, Kachino displayed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Guest Elder Token Mu Rong Chen had prepared for emergencies. Its authority forced their opponents to back down. Afterwards, Kachino redirected his companions from retaliation to recruitment and explained that the academy was intended to cultivate loyal people, not merely collect exceptional talents 99 100.

Mu Rong Chen entrusted Kachino with the academy’s funds and the recruitment of cooks and helpers, then appointed him vice dean under Shi Nian. Kachino also helped distribute uniforms and enrollment grants to the first students and remained part of the management team when Mu Rong Chen left to cultivate 105 106 111 115 121.

Appearance

Kachino is tall and powerfully built, with a loud, resonant voice marked by a soldier’s roughness 57.

• Battle injuries: Returned from his first battle with a bandaged arm, damaged armor, and a fresh facial scar 60.
• Original martial soul: A silver saber, also described as an ordinary broadsword 88 90.
• Evolved martial soul: A black-and-gold blade with mysterious golden patterns and an intensely sharp aura 90.

Personality

Kachino initially combines boisterous leadership with concern for his squad’s survival. He treats comrades as brothers, values the training available to commoner Soul Masters, and admits his fear privately rather than pretending to possess battlefield experience. His longing to return to his family ultimately outweighs his commitment to military service 57 58 71 72.

His homecoming reveals a capacity for extreme violence: convinced of his wife’s betrayal and Yi Er’s illegitimacy, he kills the entire household, including the child. He subsequently becomes numb and withdrawn before finding renewed purpose through his companions’ shared grief and Mu Rong Chen’s support 76 77 82 83 90.

As an academy administrator, Kachino is composed and practical. He restrains Xiao Lin’s anger, prioritizes recruitment over confrontations, and recognizes that Mu Rong Chen values loyalty and character above conventional measures of talent 100 111.
