100	Noted that this order is based on the time Cheon Ma Sin Gun accepted them as disciple. For example, Choi Sang-hwe is younger than Han Bi Kwang but Cheon Ma Sin Gun trained him before Han Bi Kwang, so Choi Sang-hwe is still Kwang's martial brother.

123	Cheon Ma Sin Gun's second disciple, in charge of daily operations of Black Wind Order. He is calm, collected, highly intelligent and extremely cold and ruthless.

131	* NeckSnap: Can do this telekinetically.
132	* NervesOfSteel: When Jin Pung Baek threatened to kill him to take his position, he simply laughed it off. He is the only character shown negotiating with Sinji's representative on equal ground, considered their reputation.

134	** He planted [[TheMole a mole]] in Song Mu Guild and instructed him to tell Song Mu Guild that a Sapa guild is keeping the Demon Face Armor, resulting in Song Mu Guild attacking the Sapa guild and taking the armor. The mole also caused mistrust and unrest in Song Mu Guild and especially between Yu Won-chan and his brother Yu Seung Bin, weakening Song Mu Guild against Black Wind's impending attack.
135	** He used this as evidence for Jongpa's aggression against Sapa and advised Cheon Ma Sin Gun to destroy Song Mu Guild in retaliation. Cheon Ma Sin Gun agreed and sent Jin Pung Baek to attack Song Mu Guild, which is also in Do Won-Cheon's calculation.
136	** His plan is for Jin Pung Baek and Song Mu Guild to duke it out. If Jin Pung Baek wins, he would get rid of a powerful Jongpa guild and potentially start a new Jongpa-Sapa Guild. If Jin loses, he get rid of a rival to his position. The best outcome is that Jin dies and Song Mu Guild severely weakened so he could swoop in and take the credit. Too bad Han Bi Kwang intervened and [[SpannerInTheWorks ruined his plan.]]

141	Cheon Ma Sin Gun's third disciple and the most feared one since he tends to leave behind a bunch of corpses wherever he goes.

He is afflicted with a rare condition called Nine Shadow Arteries which increases his Ki but reduces his life span and causes him immense pain, hence his rather pessimistic personality. Arrogant, prideful and fearless, he's nonetheless a honorable martial artist that respect people who show courage and determination.

Then Jongpa force attacked his home village and killed his girlfriend. He managed to find Hye Hwa, but her injuries were too severe and she died in his arms.

This led to the big change in his personality where he seeks out revenge against Jongpa and becomes a ruthless killing machine.
168	* UsedToBeASweetKid: He used to be a farmer boy until Cheon Ma Sin Gun found him.

225	* BreakTheHaughty: His plan slowly fell apart before his eyes and ended with him went insane and got burnt to ashes.

228	** Burning Soul technique, which increases his power exponentially but makes blood rushing to his brain and detroying his mind.
229	* DidntThinkThisThrough:
230	** He planned to use Jaha Singong manual as bait to lure martial artists to Ho Hyub Gok to turn them into zombies. He didn't foresee that Cheon Ma Sin Gun would be interested in the manual and send his disciple to collect it.
231	** He hired Byuk-ryuk to make 500 Thunder Bombs for him. 300 of those things can destroy a town. As mad as he is, Byuk-ryuk is not stupid enough to make such a large amount of explosives for some ''really'' suspicious lot. As a result, his planned explosion didn't went off as expected.

This grew into conflicts since she fell in love with Gwak Jin Hyeon and helped Dam Hwa Rin to rescue him. When Juryeo fought Han Bi Kwang for the Flaming Dragon Blade, he gave her a chance to return to his side, but she chose to burn to death by the Flaming Dragon Blade so she could atone for her crime against her lover and be free. Yeob Min Cheong was forced to kill her to end her suffering and began his descent to madness.
246	* LoveMakesYouDumb: He knew Juryeo loved Gwak Jin Hyeon and had evidence that she aided Han Bi Kwang and Co. but still kept her by his side.
247	* LuredIntoATrap: He used Jaha Singong manual as bait to lure many martial artists into the tunnel, promising to teach them the techniques. The manual turned out to be the Curse of Bun Hen that turned them into mindless Zombies. His underlings then used illusion technique to imitate the dead martial artists to keep up the facade.
248	* MadnessMantra: After going mad in his fight against Han Bi Kwang, he started shouting "My Juryeo!" a lot.
249	* NeverMyFault: He and his clan hated the Murim for shunning them, while it's their fault for stealing sensitive information and blackmailed many guilds that made them being hunted and feared in the first place.
250	* NightOfTheLivingMooks: He wanted to create an army of zombies to conquer the Murim.
251	* {{Pride}}: His FatalFlaw. He easily fell for Han Bi Kwang's obvious bluffing and decided to fight and was confident that Jaha Singong's superiority will give him victory. Had him decide to flee, he could have survived for another round.
