Haze is a SPOON Hero who works as an exorcist on a team with Raptor, his girlfriend, and her brother Stell.
Appearance[]
He wears a white jacket over a black shirt with pant pants and shoes. He has a red Korean charm for an earring and wears white glasses.
Personality[]
He comes off as calm and easy to talk to but in reality, he is a bit of a weirdo according to employees at SPOON, who can be very sensitive. He appears to be a sadomasochist of some kind as he refers to money as the scariest thing in the world, trumping both humans and ghosts, but says it is just as loveable as it is scary.
He also greatly enjoys being an exorcist simply because seeing a subject of fear trembling at his feet gives him joy and satisfaction.
Despite his dishonest nature, he is at best decent unless given a reason otherwise. He is still very cocky and arrogant to the point he could not make friends as a child with Raptor being his first friend.
Background[]
Not much is known about his life as a child but he lived in a very expensive house, contrary to how he acts, he has always been rich. However, he had no friends whatsoever.
While on a mountain Haze found a then infant Stell, who was roaming around after inadvertently escaping a bomb planted to kill him. Haze then takes him and returns him to Raptor, who is in the hospital after getting caught in said bomb. Baekmorae becomes jealous of him due to making Raptor laugh. Haze then takes care of Stell while Raptor is recovering
Haze, going back to the mountain discovers the buried dead bodies of Raptor's friends, all of them having a certain finger cut off which alarms him. Baekmorae earlier showed Raptor a finger of her friend's body. This causes Haze to try to get Raptor to run away with him without Baekmorae knowing, and as a result needs to show Raptor her friends' bodies to convince her.
Raptor ends up confronting Baekmorae, with Haze calling the police and stopping her from stabbing Baekmorae with a vase shard. Afterwards Haze stays in a hideout with Raptor, with her refusing to go with the police as she is a Hybrid. They end up making a deal where Raptor gives him the mountain and her boss' money for him to protect her. She and Stell end up living with Haze's family, and at some point they begin dating.
Before entering SPOON he, Raptor, and Stell were trying to capture Baekmorae. But after finding out SPOON had the same purpose and they could get benefits from it, the trio joined their organization.
Before they were formally introduced to the story, he and his team were patrolling the countryside.
Story[]
He is first properly introduced in Chapter 53 with Raptor and Stell. After being scolded, he immediately goes to do a private job. Naga comes along with him due to safety concerns.
The experience ends up being traumatic for Naga and has left him with a slight fear of Haze.
He also goes to rescue Hybrids kidnapped in a Pet Shop with the rest of the Haze Team in the Pet Shop arc after Sasa is captured.
When they are close to their location he stops driving as he is tired and allows Stell to take over. Resulting in Stell crashing the car into the gate, then exploding the roof off the car before running away. Distraught over the roof, Haze sat and cried while Raptor tried to calm him down. The two fight after Haze blames 30% of the incident on Raptor for letting it happen, and for not raising Stell to be more logical. He also purposely ignores all calls from Guineung because he wanted to think of an excuse for the car first.
After all the Hybrids are freed and the kidnappers are taken away he explores the gas chamber to see if they had a camera. Naga breaks the camera out of anger once he learns what it is for, which makes Haze lecture him, but also give him a charm so he can be more cautious.
Later on, he fights and captures Baekmorae singlehandedly, but because Sewol was watching he could not kill him. He is not present in the Rescue Baekmorae arc, as he was recovering from the blood loss he suffered while fighting Baekmorae. He only appears after SPOON has been destroyed and KNIFE escaped.
He appears in the Horned People arc, at the beginning he tells Naga that any creature that has no intention of communicating with humans cannot be considered a Hybrid or Mythical Creature by SPOON.
In the Youngjeong arc, he goes on a mission with Naga and Sasa to capture an exorcist.
In Sirano's island arc, Naga takes him to the island because he believes that the strange noises and shadows are related to ghosts. However, they lack souls or any sign of life so Haze says he cannot do anything about it and asks to be taken back.
In the Capturing KNIFE arc, he fights Lady and Baekmorae. Lady attacked him for approaching Sewol's corpse, this caused her to overexert herself and almost dies, with Haze sealing her soul in her body to prevent her from dying. Before this Baekmorae attacks Haze with a bouquet, Haze only taunts and ridicules him, telling him he has no chance of ever redeeming himself in Raptor's eyes. However, Baekmorae then rips off the seal on Lady ignoring Haze's warning, killing her.
Baekmorae and Orca manage to escape at the end of this arc, alongside Medusa. Haze goes with Mago and Raptor to SPOON's Temporary Building with Sewol and Lady's corpses.
Powers & Abilities[]
Exorcism[]
He is an exorcist, fighting ghosts and using charms.
Using Pujok charms as weapons he possesses different kinds of charms. One type he uses allows the objects they are attached to hit spirits, which he usually puts on his bat or a knife to beat up ghosts. Another type allows those who rip them to curse others and kill them, but they do not work instantly; they can make them have nightmares so they cannot sleep, become unstable by making them see ghosts or make them have terrible luck, resulting in deadly accidents. Another charm allows him to create golems by sticking it to the ground, however, Haze has not learned how to make them properly, so he can only make a giant hand which crumbles away if the charm is destroyed, he makes up for this by creating multiple hands. Another type seems to keep someone in an arrested state, which has a Chinese letter meaning "arrest" on it. Should any charm be torn, he would know.
He is the third strongest in SPOON in terms of physical strength.
Relationships[]
Raptor[]
They are dating, he is not as affectionate as Raptor but he loves her all the same. He is shown to be visibly upset at the thought of people insulting her and he also got upset and jealous when he walked in on Dana comforting her. After jeering giving someone flowers for Valentine's day, he is ecstatic at Raptor for giving him a bouquet which is later to be filled with money.
Stell[]
Haze raised Stell for a short period of time while his sister thought he was dead. He often calls him an idiot and takes advantage of this idiocy for jokes sometimes but deep down he cares for Stell.
Baekmorae[]
Even as a child Haze found Baekmorae to be weird, suspicious and creepy. He considers him to be dangerous as he was an adult who spent a weird amount of time with a child he had no familial relation to. He came to dislike him even more after all his stalking and claims that all his nonsense about "love" makes him sick. Meanwhile, Baekmorae considers Haze a rival to Raptor's affections. Despite his jealousy, Baekmorae will not severely injure Haze as Raptor will be upset at him.
