Background / History

Feitan was first found as a feverish, guarded child hiding in a shipping container in Meteor City. Luo Ye shared scarce food and later obtained clean water for him after unsuccessfully trying to acquire medicine. When Luo Ye demanded that he grow strong enough to repay the risk, Feitan promised to protect him. 1 4

After recovering, Feitan became Luo Ye's hunting partner. He killed a food thief who nearly overpowered Luo Ye, then reacted with hostility upon encountering Illumi Zoldyck. Luo Ye restrained him because Illumi's training and Nen made him too dangerous at the time. 5 6

Driven by the idea that strength determines survival in Meteor City, Feitan sought to learn Nen and awakened it simply by entering a Nen user's residual aura. He and Luo Ye subsequently seized a house, where Feitan killed the owner after Luo Ye restrained him with Kido. 6 7

He helped Machi awaken her Nen through Nen pressure, though he had little patience for teaching. Feitan initially proposed capturing and interrogating Illumi for Nen instruction, but accepted Luo Ye's more cautious plan to cooperate with him against Rasa, the District 11 governor. 9 12 13

During the conflict with Rasa, Feitan repeatedly protected Luo Ye: he intercepted Rasa's surprise dagger attack, later killed Rasa by stabbing him through the heart after Rasa injured Luo Ye, and remained at Luo Ye's bedside after the battle. 18 19 20

After Rasa's death, Feitan assisted in exploring the dangerous Nen-created house left behind by its deceased original owner. He protected Illumi from an arrow trap because Illumi still owed the group Nen training, investigated the house with Luo Ye, and became enraged when they found secretly taken photographs of him in a dress. 22 25 26

When Uvogin and Nobunaga attempted to seize the house, Feitan immediately defended Luo Ye's claim and attacked Nobunaga. He was briefly trapped between Nobunaga and Uvogin's attack before Machi intervened; afterward, he prevented Nobunaga from helping Uvogin against Luo Ye's Kido. 46 47

Appearance

Feitan is a small, thin black-haired boy with narrow golden eyes and a high collar that often conceals much of his expression. 1 6 27

• Black hair and narrow golden eyes. 1 6
• Noticeably short and extremely thin; Luo Ye compares tackling him to hitting a skeleton. 27
• Usually carries a sharp blade or dagger. 5 7
• Frequently hides his face and embarrassment behind his high collar. 27 29
• Was reluctantly made to wear dresses during the plan to lure Rasa. 14 15

Personality

Feitan is aggressive, impatient, and intensely survival-driven. He prefers direct violence over elaborate plans, repeatedly suggesting forceful solutions such as confronting stronger opponents, interrogating Illumi, or destroying threats outright. 6 9 22 24

Despite his hostility, he is highly practical when an agreement or ally's value is involved. He awakened Machi's Nen at Luo Ye's request and saved Illumi from Rasa's trap specifically because Illumi still owed the group instruction. 9 22

His harsh exterior contrasts sharply with his treatment of Luo Ye. Feitan protects him instinctively, worries about his injuries, bandages him while he is unconscious, and resolves to become stronger so he can protect him more reliably. He becomes embarrassed when Luo Ye praises or teases him and reacts jealously to Illumi receiving Luo Ye's attention. 18 20 21 28 29 35 37

Abilities & Skills

Nen

Feitan possesses exceptional natural Nen talent, awakening his aura without formal instruction and progressing rapidly afterward. 6 17

• Can release Nen pressure strongly enough to challenge and surprise Illumi. 11
• Awakened Machi's Nen by subjecting her to Nen pressure. 9
• Received Nen training from Illumi after the group killed Rasa. 13 21
• His Nen development initially exceeded Machi's, who was unable to withstand his killing intent. 17

Speed and Close-Quarters Combat

Feitan is a fast, lethal close-range fighter who favors throat strikes and rapid interception. 5 18 46

• Circled behind an enemy and slit his throat while Luo Ye distracted him. 5
• Intercepted Rasa's near-instant ambush on Luo Ye before Luo Ye could draw his weapon. 18
• Reached Rasa unnoticed while the latter was trapped in Black Coffin, then stabbed him through the heart. 19
• Launched a dagger strike at Nobunaga's throat quickly enough that Nobunaga barely blocked it. 46
• Avoids meeting overwhelming physical force head-on; Uvogin's attack forced him to retreat before Nobunaga blocked his escape. 46

Combat Instincts

Feitan quickly assesses danger in battle, though his impatience can make him reckless. 17 18 24

• Recognized that Rasa's superior speed exceeded his own. 17
• Remained vigilant while Rasa watched the group from an inaccessible spatial hiding place. 18
• Accepted Luo Ye's condition to remain nearby during the underground investigation because of Luo Ye's injuries. 24
• Was stopped from using a large-scale move underground because it could have buried both him and Luo Ye beneath the house. 27

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Dagger / sharp blade — his primary weapon for rapid killing strikes. 5 7 18 22
• Women's dress disguise — reluctantly used as bait in the operation against Rasa. 14 15

Relationships

• Luo Ye — Initial alliance partner and later his closest companion. Feitan promised to protect him, repeatedly saves him in combat, and becomes openly protective, embarrassed, and possessive around him. 4 18 20 29 35
• Machi — Teammate whose Nen he helped awaken. He can be harsh toward her intuition, but fights alongside her and benefits from her thread-based support. 9 17 19 47
• Illumi Zoldyck — Uneasy ally and Nen instructor. Feitan distrusts and competes with him, but protects him when their agreement requires it. 11 12 21 22
• Rasa — Enemy and District 11 governor. Feitan killed him after Rasa wounded Luo Ye. 18 19
• Uvogin — Opponent in the dispute over the Nen house; Feitan recognizes that Uvogin's direct attack is too powerful to meet head-on. 44 46
• Nobunaga — Opponent whom Feitan attacked first during the house dispute, later keeping him from aiding Uvogin. 46 47
• Chrollo Lucilfer — A figure Feitan treats with unusual hostility, rejecting his attempts to probe Luo Ye's group for information. 48 50
