Siddharth Bachchan

Liu Zhigang painted the original-timeline Siddharth as a man ruled by a savior complex, the kind who forced his protection on people who had never asked for it. Beneath that lay raw ambition: he hungered to climb higher in standing and cement his place at the very top of the Hunter world.

As both a Ruler's vessel and a National Level Hunter, Siddharth ranked among the planet's strongest, though the source notes his exact ceiling was never pinned down. Through Ruler's Authority he could lift and move objects with his mind, and he also commanded Spiritual Body Manifestation. In battle he tore through enemies with claws and wings, summoned the Outer God's colossal axe Astra, and unleashed Dragon's Fear, an aura that flattened entire crowds of Hunters in an instant.

Decades into the revised timeline, Siddharth reclaimed his powers and his standing as one of the world's elite. Because he had once hosted a higher being, memories of the previous timeline came back to him on their own. Convinced he alone retained that knowledge, he decided he had been divinely chosen and carried a part to play in humanity's fate. Chasing a return to National Level strength, he let the Apostles corrupt him, agreeing to serve as their willing host, but his new masters demanded yet more hosts to fill their ranks.

Knowing Sung Jinwoo had been the previous timeline's savior, Siddharth schemed to capture him and deliver him to the Apostles, only to find no trace of the man anywhere. Forced to abandon that hunt, he devised a darker plan: using the essence of extinct dragons to breed dragon-human hybrids fit to host the Apostles. His gaze, however, stayed fixed on Korea. When he finally took the field in India, his Dragon's Fear dropped every Hunter in range, Liu Zhigang included, leaving only Suho standing untouched.

The two fought ferociously, Siddharth slashing with claws and wings while Suho answered with the fire of the Dragon King's Heart. As the clash escalated, Siddharth called down Astra, a weapon that split the sky and cleaved the earth, erasing roads, buildings, and dragonid soldiers like a natural catastrophe. Yet the Dragon King's flames ultimately swallowed him whole, incinerating his body to nothing. Suho would later concede he could only have killed Siddharth because he carried the Dragon King's Heart. He then tried to raise the fallen Hunter as a shadow, failing twice before the third attempt succeeded, naming him Sita.
