Korn is a rat and the founding leader of the 500 Cornered Rats, a criminal organization that operates out of the Black Market. He established the group with the specific ambition of creating a legacy that would endure far beyond the typically short lifespan of his species, aiming for the organization to persist for over five hundred years. His personality is defined by an intrepid and reckless drive, paired with a pragmatic and cunning approach to leadership. He is willing to form dangerous alliances to secure the survival and growth of his faction. This motivation to build an enduring legacy and achieve lasting influence is the core driving force behind his actions and decisions throughout the story.

In the main conflict of the final story arc, Korn’s role is that of a faction leader whose group becomes deeply entangled in the larger power struggles of the criminal underworld. The 500 Cornered Rats act as a wildcard, navigating the tensions between the Beastar, Yahya, and the antagonist Melon. His primary relationships are with the members of his own organization, whom he commands and guides. A particularly significant relationship is with a subordinate named Corn, who eventually defects from the group in protest over their alliance with the Beastar. Korn also directly engages with the Beastar Yahya, forming a strategic but uneasy partnership.

Development in Korn’s character occurs as the burdens of leadership and the compromises made for the sake of legacy are tested. The deal with Yahya fractures his group, prompting a crisis of loyalty that forces him to reassess the future of the 500 Cornered Rats. His notable abilities are not physical, as he lacks the size or predatory strength of other characters. Instead, his strengths lie in his strategic mind, his organizational skills, and his ability to command the vast network and numbers of the 500 Cornered Rats, positioning them as a surprisingly influential force in the underworld.
