Smoke Before the Storm
As one of the eight war generals of the Obsidian Wing, Bear had enjoyed quite a bit of attention in the original storyline.
To sit among the eight meant one thing—strength. Ruthless, undeniable strength.
But raw power alone didn't make him memorable. The author had carved something grotesque into his character to make sure no one forgot him.
After killing someone, Bear always took something.
If it was a man, he would slice off a pinky.
If it was a woman, he would snip a lock of her hair.
A token.
A trophy.
A reminder.
And worse—far worse—he was just as depraved as his master. He violated the women he killed before ending their lives.
The difference?
Evan, as the so-called Obsidian King and "protagonist," had standards. He only pursued women of exceptional beauty.
Bear didn't care.
If it looked remotely female, that was enough.
He once laughed and said,
"Doesn't matter if she's pretty or ugly. Once she's in my grasp, she's just my pleasure toy."
