Appearance[]
Personality[]
An emotionless man devoid of desire, ambition, color, and senses, Earl Shi was apathic as he barely showed any displays of emotions or expressed any changes in his expressions. Even when he was becoming a Great General and was rewarded the title of a Fire Dragon, he didn't show any signs of excitement. However, he did have a vindictive side as he showed an intense amount of rage when he killed his step father and fellow Fire Dragon Tai Ro Ji for their roles in his lover and fiancée Shi Kika's death.
With the loss of his only reason to live, he became nothing more than a cold and efficiently capable fighting machine with barely any weakness to exploit.
