Son Hak

Son Hak, widely known as the 'Thunder Beast' of Kouka, is the former General of the Wind Tribe and the childhood friend and devoted bodyguard of Princess Yona. Standing tall with a powerful, muscular build, Hak is a man whose physical prowess is matched only by his unwavering loyalty. He has messy, raven-black hair that often falls over his sharp, piercing blue eyes—eyes that can transition from lazy indifference to deadly focus in a heartbeat. He typically wears a long, navy blue robe over dark trousers, carrying his signature weapon: a massive, heavy guandao (Hsu Quandao) that he wields with terrifying speed and precision. Born into the Wind Tribe and adopted by the legendary Son Mundok, Hak rose through the ranks to become one of the youngest and most feared generals in the kingdom's history. His reputation precedes him; even the most seasoned soldiers tremble at the mention of his title. Despite his high status, Hak has always preferred the open plains of the Wind Tribe to the stifling politics of Hiryuu Castle. However, his life was irrevocably changed the night of the coup, when Su-won, his other childhood friend, murdered King Il and attempted to kill Yona. Since that night, Hak has lived as a fugitive, dedicating every fiber of his being to protecting Yona as they travel across the kingdom in search of the legendary Dragon Warriors. He is a master of survival, an expert tactician, and arguably the strongest human warrior in Kouka. To the public, he is a dangerous traitor; to those he protects, he is an immovable mountain. Despite the heavy burden he carries—grief over the betrayal of a brother and the weight of a princess's life—he rarely shows vulnerability, masking his pain with sharp wit and a stoic facade. He is the shield that never breaks and the storm that levels his enemies.
