Background / History

Fang stole Anmoreya Corporation’s Retroviral Vector Injection during a dockside exchange, leaving multiple casualties behind. When Thornton and Gale attempted to reclaim the injection, Fang ambushed them with a flashbang, transformed into an orc, and killed both Contractors before departing with the silver-white case. 6 8 18

Fang Linyan investigated the attack and identified several exploitable patterns: Fang used expensive French-made clothing, maintained a luxury lifestyle, possessed a French identity under the name Von Dumus, and appeared to have a short transformation limit. Fang was located at the Lansikadun Seven-Star Hotel. 10 18

While recovering in the hotel, Fang survived an elite-operatives’ ambush through fast reactions, poison countermeasures, and his Voodoo Doll. He subsequently faced zombies and an Ouroboros B Bio-Weapon Specimen, escaping the building on a prepared modified Harley motorcycle after being badly injured. 11 13 14

Anmoreya escalated the pursuit by deploying its Cleaner biological weapons. Fang destroyed the humanoid Cleaner only after using his second transformation, but fled when Cleaner II was activated. He later crippled Anmoreya’s electronics and Cleaner II’s control systems with the “Typhoon” Electromagnetic Oscillation Sphere, then escaped through a river using Murloc Soul. 15 16

Fang boarded a cargo ship to recover, unaware that Fang Linyan had prepared it as a trap based on his preference for a “Brown Bomb” coffee drink. Sedated by hallucinogen-laced cream, Fang was beheaded while asleep; his body then dissolved into data and formed a Bloody Key. 16 19

Appearance

In his normal state, Fang is a burly Black man with the defined physique of a professional athlete. His transformed form is substantially larger and visibly inhuman. 8 11

• Glossy black skin and pronounced musculature. 11
• A scar on his chest in his ordinary form. 8
• Previously missing the little finger of his left hand after using Finger Sacrifice Technique. 8 10
• Favored discreet, expensive French luxury clothing, including Berluti shoes and Charvet shirts. 10
• During Orc Transformation, develops green, rough skin, dense body hair, fangs, a protruding jaw, and long bone claws. 6 7

Personality

Fang is cold, professional, and ruthlessly practical. He does not hesitate to kill perceived threats, including wounded enemies and bystanders, and favors decisive violence over prolonged risks. 8 13

Despite his brutality, he is highly disciplined. He prepares escape routes in advance, reacts calmly to ambushes, and maintains refined dining etiquette even when alone in a hotel suite. 11 14

He is also confident in his superiority over ordinary people and remains aggressive even when heavily wounded. Pain and injury appear to intensify rather than suppress his combat drive. 8 13 14

Abilities & Skills

Orc Transformation

Fang’s principal combat ability is the activation of his orc bloodline.

• Expands his body by more than half and raises his height beyond two meters. 6
• Greatly increases speed, strength, durability, and combat instincts. 6 7
• Allows him to throw a 40–50 kilogram iron box with ease and overturn a Lincoln Navigator. 7 8
• Fang Linyan estimated that the form lasts roughly three minutes. 10
• Leaves Fang severely weakened after the transformation ends. 16

Berserker Blood

Fang Linyan theorized that Fang possesses a Berserker Blood ability that converts injury into greater combat power.

• Fang continued overpowering Thornton and Gale despite a caved-in chest, gunshot wounds, and severe blood loss. 8
• Pain from acid injuries caused him to fight more fiercely rather than retreat. 14
• The exact mechanics remain unconfirmed. 10

Bone Claws

Orc Transformation gives Fang long, bone-yellow claws with metallic, razor-sharp tips.

• Each claw is approximately ten centimeters long. 7
• Can tear through car doors, shields, and human bodies. 7 8
• Used to decapitate Gale and dismember the Ouroboros B Bio-Weapon Specimen. 8 14

Blood of Jacob

Fang can initiate a second transformation after becoming an orc.

• Turns him into a pure-blooded giant wolf. 15
• Shifts his most lethal attacks to his hind claws and fangs when his arms are disabled. 15
• Enabled him to breach the Cleaner’s defenses and kill it despite losing his right forearm and suffering extensive injuries. 15

Finger Sacrifice Technique

A curse-based finishing move in which Fang tears off one of his own fingers and launches it as a lethal projectile.

• The severed finger is surrounded by black mist and curse markings before being thrown. 8
• Pierced Thornton’s forehead from a long distance. 8
• Appears difficult to counter, but carries a permanent physical cost; the sacrificed finger did not regenerate. 10

Voodoo Sorcery

Fang possesses several forms of Voodoo-based black magic.

• Voodoo Doll — Produces illusions and mental pollution that caused elite operatives to turn on one another in terror. Some opponents were immune to its effects. 11
• Murloc Soul — Sacrifices Fang’s flesh and blood essence to grant temporary underwater breathing, aquatic instincts, and torpedo-like swimming speed. 16
• His sorcery is one of his two greatest strengths alongside transformation combat. 13

Regeneration

Fang’s orc bloodline grants a powerful passive healing factor.

• Stabilizes and gradually heals injuries unless they are immediately fatal, such as decapitation or being split in two. 16
• Recovery becomes stronger as his injuries worsen. 16
• Allowed severe chest, abdominal, and shoulder injuries to heal significantly within twelve hours. 11

Combat Skill and Marksmanship

Fang is a highly experienced close-quarters fighter and competent shooter.

• Uses flashbangs with exceptional timing and deception. 6 7 10
• His pistol marksmanship is stated to be at least comparable to that of a trained soldier. 13
• Displays rapid tactical judgment, including avoiding elevators, preparing vehicles, and exploiting escape routes through water. 14 16

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Flashbangs — Used to blind opponents and create openings for close-range attacks. 6 7
• Silenced pistol — Used against the hooded figures and zombies after the hotel ambush. 13
• Voodoo Doll — Bone-and-straw casting focus for illusion and mental-pollution sorcery. 11
• “Typhoon” Electromagnetic Oscillation Sphere — An otherworldly device that disabled electronics and communications across an area of nearly twenty square kilometers. 16
• Modified Harley motorcycle — A pre-positioned escape vehicle concealed in a garage. 14
• Retroviral Vector Injection case — Stolen from Anmoreya Corporation during the dockside operation. 6 18

Relationships

• Fang Linyan — Enemy, investigator, and eventual killer. Fang Linyan traced Fang’s habits, engineered the cargo-ship trap, and beheaded him. 10 18 19
• Anmoreya Corporation — Primary enemy after Fang stole its Retroviral Vector Injection; the corporation deployed operatives, drones, and Cleaner bio-weapons against him. 14 15 18
• Thornton — Contractor opponent killed by Fang’s Finger Sacrifice Technique during the dockside battle. 8
• Gale — Contractor opponent killed and decapitated by Fang after a prolonged fight. 8
• Wilson — Executive Director of Anmoreya’s Asia division who supervised operations to capture Fang. 14 16
• Cleaner — Anmoreya bio-weapon killed by Fang after he activated his second transformation. 15
• Cleaner II — More dangerous Anmoreya bio-weapon that forced Fang to flee; its control systems were disabled by the Typhoon sphere. 15 16

Legacy

Fang’s death left behind the S.K.M Black Iron Medal. The medal later resonated with Fang Linyan’s old-fashioned phone and served as Fang’s identity verification, enabling Fang Linyan to impersonate Fang in Incarnation Mode when entering the Nightmare Space. 23
