Background / History

Rox comes from a family in the Western European Alliance, identified as the Aytu/Yatu Family, but chose to join Chaos Martial Arts Hall rather than return to his family. His grandfather is genetic researcher Yuchi Yu. The Aytu Family has sought Rox’s return, while his relationship with them is described as strained. 12 13 29 41 44

Before Chu Wen enrolled at Xinhang Martial University, Rox opposed cultivating him. He considered Chu’s lack of family ties, obligations, and social connections a danger, fearing that a powerful but unrestrained Chu could become a terrorist. Principal Yang Tianlong challenged this judgment by pointing to Chu’s visit to Li Xin, Zhang Yong’s mother. 12 13

At Xinhang, Rox teaches saber techniques and initially challenges Chu Wen to enter the university’s top ten within two years. He is later assigned to lead Chu, Lin Wei, and Chen Dai during their practical training at Netherworld Lake. 20 28 31

Appearance

Rox is a blond, blue-eyed young man with a clean, painterly bearing. He usually wears a neat martial-arts uniform and carries a battle saber on his back. 20

• Blond hair and deep blue eyes; his eyes can turn gold when exerting power. 20 48
• Often presents a cold, stern expression. 13 28
• Uses both a war saber and a short ink-black blade in combat. 33

Personality

Rox is blunt, proud, and intensely strength-oriented. During his discussion with Yang Tianlong, he argues that “weakness is the original sin” and states that he would not spare those who offend him. 13

He initially views Chu Wen with suspicion and hostility, but Netherworld Lake changes his assessment. Rox recognizes Chu’s battle awareness, courage, and unusual combat potential, ultimately supporting his formal recruitment by Chaos Martial Arts Hall. 36 37

Despite his detached manner, Rox is protective of the students under his charge. He enters the dangerous Blood Bodhi Tree range to rescue Chu Wen, Lin Wei, and Chen Dai, then comforts Lin Wei after the mission. 33 36
