History

Fei ran with Chi She Lian, a ghoul outfit operating in China, and counted the future Aogiri lieutenant Tatara among close associates. When Kousuke Houji was stationed overseas, he joined a mission to destroy the gang, and Fei fell among those killed. The kakuhou recovered from the body was forged into the quinque Douhi, which Houji carried for a stretch before passing it down to his junior, Seidou Takizawa.

Much later, during the Owl Suppression Operation, Takizawa raised that weapon to guard himself and a bleeding Koutarou Amon. Tatara instantly knew the kagune as Fei's, and, consumed by fury, turned on Houji's protege in revenge.

Abilities

Classed as an ukaku ghoul, Fei produced a kakuhou that investigators shaped into a quinque of ordinary strength. Supplementary notes link the name to the Chinese word meaning fly, a probable nod to the winged, projectile nature of ukaku kagune.
