History

Across the Bomb Girl arc he sets his sights on Reze as the means of drawing Denji out and claiming the Chainsaw Devil's heart, puzzled all the while as to why so many devils crave it. The Typhoon Devil cautions him to respect the boy who carries that heart, having already slain a great many devils, but he waves the warning off and brags of killing a feared hunter in China by abducting and torturing the man's wife and daughter. After the Typhoon Devil conjures a storm to pen Denji and Reze inside a school, the killer bides his time until Reze steps away toward the restroom, then stalks her out onto a balcony. She turns the tables before he can land a blow, stripping away his weapon and choking him to death at a slow, deliberate pace, then orders the Typhoon Devil to clear off his corpse. His weapon of choice was a knife, wielded for torture and slaughter, and his deal with the Typhoon Devil was left unfulfilled, broken by his death and his failure to claim the heart.
