Background / History
Recruitment and Crossbow Production
Sea Dragon Douluo introduces Kyle after Lin Hao requests skilled craftsmen to manufacture a weapon. Kyle studies the detailed blueprints, identifies Iron Essence as the necessary material, and promises a working crossbow within three days. The design is actually the Tang Sect’s Godly Zhuge Crossbow, which Lin Hao presents under the name Sea God Crossbow 8.
Kyle delivers the completed weapon but interrupts Lin Hao’s mental training with Sea Witch Douluo. She reprimands him and releases a pulse of mental strength and Soul Power that nearly knocks him off his feet, sparing him further punishment because his work concerns Lin Hao. After inspecting, disassembling, and reassembling the crossbow, Lin Hao approves Kyle’s workmanship 8 9.
With Bo Saixi’s authorization, Kyle leads the island’s craftsmen in mass production. Crossbows are distributed to residents and merchant-ship crews, providing protection while strengthening overseas Sea Soul Masters’ attachment to Sea God Island 9.
Advanced Weapons and Intelligence Work
Kyle and his assistant Gray later prepare components for the Peacock Plume. Lin Hao personally makes some of the more difficult parts and performs the final assembly. After inspecting the finished weapon, Kyle and Gray receive Deep Sea Silver and orders to begin forging Pear Blossom Rainstorm Needles 12.
Kyle also gathers mainland intelligence for Lin Hao. His report covers the Clear Sky Douluo’s killing of Spirit Hall’s Supreme Pontiff, the Clear Sky Sect’s subsequent seclusion, and the new female pontiff’s establishment of Spirit City. Lin Hao then orders broader investigations into the major factions and cities of both empires, with funding available through the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar 12.
Lin Hao continues monitoring Kyle’s forging after returning from Ju Zi Village. Later, he acknowledges that Kyle and the other island craftsmen remain below master craftsman level and seeks additional specialists for the most demanding weapons 13 32.
Appearance
Kyle is introduced as a tall, middle-aged man dressed in purple 8.
Personality
Kyle is enthusiastic about intricate machinery and powerful weapons. The crossbow’s mechanism immediately fascinates him, and he becomes so absorbed in studying Peacock Plume components that he fails to notice Lin Hao entering the room 8 12.
He treats service to Lin Hao as a privilege and responds delightedly to praise. Although he enjoys Sea God Island’s peaceful life, he prefers having work to pursue; Lin Hao’s projects rekindle his ambition to create something of his own 8 9 12.
