Description
Baek Yoon-Ho is a prominent character in the story, recognized as one of South Korea's ten S-Rank hunters and the guild master of the White Tiger Guild. Before establishing his own guild, he was a member of the Fiend Guild, but he eventually left to form the White Tiger Guild, positioning himself as a key leader in the hunter community.
Physically, Baek is a tall man with spiky orange hair and yellow eyes. A unique aspect of his appearance is that his hair turns white whenever he uses his transformation abilities, shifting to a look that reflects his beast-like powers.
In terms of personality, Baek Yoon-Ho is defined by a strong sense of camaraderie and responsibility toward those under his command. He is a calm individual who demonstrates genuine care for his guild members, as seen when he directly confronted another S-Rank hunter, Hwang Dong-Su, to protect his subordinates during the Red Gate incident. He is also deeply curious and analytical, with an almost relentless drive to understand mysteries that capture his attention. This trait is most evident in his fascination with Sung Jin-Woo. After witnessing Jin-Woo's rapid and inexplicable increase in power, Baek becomes one of the first characters to theorize that Jin-Woo is a "growth-type" hunter, meaning his abilities have no finite limit. His curiosity is so pronounced that he spends time researching online, trying to uncover the source of Jin-Woo's strength.
Within the story, Baek's primary role is that of a powerful ally and a rival guild master. Initially, his interest in Jin-Woo is professional; he sees the newly ranked S-Rank hunter as a tremendous asset and competes fiercely with fellow guild master Choi Jong-In to recruit him. However, as the narrative progresses, their relationship evolves into a mutual, respectful partnership. Baek is selected as a key member of the S-Rank raid party for the fourth Jeju Island raid, a critical mission to reclaim the island from monstrous ants. During this dangerous operation, his loyalty and trust in Jin-Woo are solidified. In a moment of desperation to save a fellow hunter's life, Jin-Woo uses a controversial ability on the body of their fallen comrade, Min Byung-Gu. Despite his initial protests, Baek ultimately allows Jin-Woo to proceed, demonstrating a profound level of trust in his judgment.
Baek Yoon-Ho's abilities center on his unique transformation magic, which allows him to take on the characteristics of a powerful beast. He typically fights using a partial transformation, enhancing his hands and other body parts to gain superhuman strength, speed, and durability without fully changing his form. When the situation demands his full power, such as during the Jeju Island raid, he can undergo a complete transformation into a large, muscular humanoid white tiger with sharp claws and fangs, dramatically increasing his combat effectiveness. One of his most notable skills is the Eyes of the Beast. This innate ability allows him to visually assess the strength and magical power of other hunters or magical beasts, providing him with a tactical advantage in evaluating threats and allies alike. While his rank places him among the nation's strongest hunters, he is considered on the lower end of the S-Rank spectrum compared to his peers. Nevertheless, his leadership, courage, and sharp instincts make him an invaluable figure in the most critical battles.
