Personality[]
| “ | What depraved darkness...Mind numbingly so... | „ |
| ~ Ri Boku's inner thoughts on his king. |
Tou Jou was an incredibly twisted man that strongly hated being admonished by those he considered beneath him and highly narcissistic. He detested Ren Pa of the previous Three Great Heavens from the bottom of his heart for constantly warning him during his days as a prince. He was also shown as being completely confident in the face of the news from Ri Boku of Qin's invasion, with more attention focused on his daily pleasures than on the state of his nation's borders being invaded. A complete tyrant, he publicly showed his contempt and even stated that he detested the entirety of his kingdom and would gladly see its citizens destroyed after his death. And as a sadist he delighted in threatening Ri Boku and his vassals, nonchalantly bit and ripped off his son, Ka’s, ear while giving him a hug, and took immense pleasure in thinking of different ways to viciously torture Ri Boku during his planned execution.
