Biography

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, he was a young man with a slender build with black hair and dark blue eyes with a deadpan expression. Whilst operating as a civilian, he appeared in the persona of Li Shenshun and wore casual attire of an exchange student. However, when operating as a contractor, he wore a trench-coat and a white pierrot-inspired mask that fully concealed his face.

Whilst operating in the Syndicate, he regularly took on a number of fake identities and personas in order to accomplish his missions as well as to have a civilian life. Chief among these personalities was Li Shenshun (李舜生 (リ・シェンシュン), Ri Shengshun) where he masqueraded as a good natured timid Chinese exchange student who tries to help others though generally kept to himself. This image quickly disappeared where he took on his true persona where he was shown to be a calculating assassin.

According to him, Contractors were skilled liars and dangerous individuals. Such a view extended to himself as he was not above pretending to be an ordinary civilian and revealing his true identity without any apparent sign of guilt. It was said that he was unlike other Contractors as they ultimately sought to look after their own lives whereas Hei still had feelings such as looking for his sister. As such, he was unusual in the sense that he sometimes still acted on his emotions.

Powers and abilities

Hei was able to cook his own meals. He was shown to be extremely skilled in martial arts and an accomplished acrobat allowing him to easily make back-flips or mid-air cartwheels. His skill allowed him to engage other Contractors even without the use of his powers.

The trench coat he wore was stated to not be a fashion statement but was practical as it was bullet proof allowing him to survive multiple gunshots. He made use of a wire with a carabiner attached to the end that allowed him to anchor it to any object that it wrapped itself around. In combat, it proved useful as it could wrap around the necks of hi enemies whereupon he could deliver a lethal shock to them.

Notes

• Hei was voiced by Japanese actor Hidenobu Kiuchi and English actor Jason Liebrecht in the dubbed series.
