Background

Fama is the president of the Gama Empire’s Alchemist Association and Fa Wutian’s sole surviving elder relative. When Fa Wutian’s parents were assassinated by the Chuanyun Empire ten years before the story, Fama became responsible for the Fa Family’s only remaining descendant. His status, resources, and affection give Wutian unusual protection from an early age. 1

He supplied Fa Wutian with Fourth-Rank Qi Gathering Powder, unknowingly enabling the boy’s breakthrough to the Dou Practitioner realm. Initially appalled that Wutian had chosen the seemingly worthless Primary Yellow-Tier Flame Mantra over the family’s High Xuan-Tier techniques, Fama accepted the choice after being shown Dragon Spear Wild Dance and learning that the method could evolve by absorbing flames. He swore to keep the Flame Mantra secret. 2

Fama later obtained the sixth-tier Azure Flame from the Black-Corner Region for Wutian. Its absorption advanced the Flame Mantra to Mid Yellow Tier, confirming the technique’s authenticity and intensifying Fama’s concern that its exposure would bring disaster. 4

After Wutian left for Canaan Academy, Fama supported his wish to experience the wider world despite fearing for the safety of the Fa Family’s last heir. When Wutian returned six or seven years later with Dou King companions and an alchemist subordinate, Fama was stunned by the scale of his grandson’s growth. 10 47

Appearance

Fama is a small elderly man with graying temples. He wears a hat shaped like a medicinal cauldron, reflecting his profession as an alchemist. 2

• Small stature. 2
• Graying hair at the temples. 2
• Medicinal-cauldron-shaped hat. 2

Personality

Fama is openly affectionate toward Fa Wutian, routinely calling him his “good grandson” and placing his welfare above political convenience. He supports Wutian’s independence—even allowing him to decide the proposed marriage alliance with Yao Ye—while still warning him against unnecessary danger. 2 9 10

His gentle demeanor gives way to calculated ruthlessness when Wutian is threatened. Upon uncovering the Chuanyun Empire’s assassination plot, Fama and Wang Zhong replaced the explosive beast core, exposed the infiltrator Feng Feng, and forced him to reveal his identity as the spy “Pangolin.” 3

Fama is proud of Wutian’s talent to a fault. His public announcement that Wutian became a Dou Practitioner at age ten spread the boy’s name throughout the Gama Empire, attracting attention from both domestic factions and the Chuanyun Empire. 2
