Description
Headon administrates the First Floor, initiating individuals into the Tower's ascent. His appearance resembles a white rabbit with long ears, and he wields a long yellow stick bearing green balls at each end. A single black slit on his face opens to reveal narrow eyes or a mouth. Despite a friendly, polite demeanor, he exhibits a manipulative and pragmatic nature, orchestrating complex schemes like civil unrest or betrayals to achieve undisclosed objectives. He holds grudges and expresses anger, traits uncommon among other Administrators.
Headon occupies a unique position, teleporting freely across all 134 floors to select Regulars ("chosen Regulars") from the Outer Tower or Middle Area to begin climbing from the Second Floor. Only Irregulars entering from outside encounter him directly on the First Floor for his tests. He is considered the most experienced Administrator, being the first to interact with Zahard and the Great Warriors upon their Tower entry.
He plays a pivotal role in initiating key characters. Headon rejected Rachel as unworthy due to her lack of will and courage, confining her and forcing her to watch Baam undergo the Ball Test—retrieving a ball guarded by a White Steel Eel, a test typically reserved for higher floors. After Baam succeeded with Yuri Zahard's loan of the Black March, Headon offered Rachel a deal: he would permit her to climb the Tower and become its "heroine" if she fulfilled his request. He provided her with Akryung as a guardian and coordinated with Yu Han Sung, the Test Director of the Second Floor, to manipulate events in her favor.
As First Floor Administrator, Headon wields absolute authority over shinsu, surpassing even Zahard or the Great Warriors. He generates shinsu effortlessly and teleports himself or others anywhere instantaneously, marked by a distinctive pink flash. His influence extends beyond conventional rules, exemplified by allowing the unqualified Rachel to ascend in exchange for targeting Baam.
Epithets surround Headon, called the "real owner of the Tower," the "true master of the Tower," and "the most transcendent being" by figures like Horyang and Serena Rinnen. Murals on the First Floor foreshadowing the Tower's narrative, and the legend of a figure building the Tower to reach a star, fuel theories he may be its original creator. His humanoid appearance, emotional capacity, and role as gatekeeper for both Regulars and Irregulars distinguish him from other Administrators, supporting interpretations as a guide for Tower entrants.
