Description
Twenty-Fifth Bam, who also goes by the alias Jyu Viole Grace, is the protagonist of the story. In the period covered by The Return of the Prince, Bam has undergone a profound transformation from the naive boy first introduced entering the Tower. The narrative picks up several years after the end of his initial climb, and Bam is now a member of FUG, an infamous and powerful anti-government organization.
His background is rooted in profound isolation, having spent much of his early life alone in a dark cave. His only companion and first friend was a girl named Rachel, who taught him about the outside world and became the sole focus of his existence. It was his desperate desire to follow Rachel into the Tower that drove him to become an Irregular. However, after a devastating betrayal where Rachel seemingly attempted to kill him, Bam was left for dead. He was subsequently found and taken in by FUG, who saw immense potential in him as a weapon against the ruling king, Jahad.
In The Return of the Prince, Bam’s personality has hardened considerably. He is far more violent, cold, and calculating than in his past. Having been forced to accept the identity of Jyu Viole Grace, he has become introverted and rarely speaks or displays emotion. This shift is a direct result of the trauma he has endured and the coercive control FUG holds over him. He distances himself from others not out of malice, but as a form of self-protection, and he prefers to take on group tests alone to avoid involving others in his dangerous situation. Despite this icy exterior, his core nature is not entirely lost. He retains a high degree of empathy, but he has closed himself off, channeling his feelings into a grim determination to fulfill FUG’s demands to keep others safe.
His primary motivation is no longer simply finding Rachel. While his feelings about her betrayal are a source of deep confusion and pain, he is now driven by a need to protect his old friends from the original story. FUG exploits this weakness, threatening to kill his former teammates if he fails to comply with their orders or falters in his tests. This makes him a reluctant pawn, forced to act as a slayer candidate with the goal of killing King Jahad and his allies, all to ensure the survival of the people he cares about.
In the story, Bam’s role is that of a dangerous and feared figure. As Jyu Viole Grace, he is known as a living weapon for FUG. He is forced to participate in the tests on the 20th Floor, where he encounters a new team of Regulars, including Ja Wangnan and Yeon Yihwa. Initially, he rejects the idea of forming a team with them, seeing them as potential hostages or liabilities. However, despite his attempts to push them away, he becomes entangled in their lives and begins to act as their unofficial, powerful protector, even as he struggles with the burden of FUG’s demands.
Key relationships during this period are complex and fraught with tension. His relationship with Rachel remains the most significant and painful. He is haunted by her betrayal and does not know what he wants to do when he confronts her, though he still struggles to see the best in her. With his old friend Khun Aguero Agnes, Bam’s situation is one of painful separation. Khun believes Bam to be dead for a long time and is shocked to discover the truth. For Bam, his former friends have become the leverage FUG uses to control him. A new and important relationship forms with Ja Wangnan, a fellow Regular on the 20th Floor. While Wangnan initially fears Bam as a demon of destruction, he eventually learns of Bam’s past and forced circumstances, coming to respect him and wanting to become his friend.
Bam’s development in this arc is a gradual process of reconciling his past self with his current reality. He is no longer the innocent boy who only wanted to follow Rachel; he is a traumatized individual forced into violence. However, through his reluctant interactions with Ja Wangnan’s team, he begins to show glimpses of his old caring nature, such as risking his life to protect the young team member Miseng. His arc focuses on his struggle to retain his humanity and protect others while being trapped in the role of a monster for FUG.
Regarding his notable abilities, Bam possesses extraordinary, latent talent that aligns with the dangerous reputation of an Irregular. During his time with FUG, he underwent intense training under powerful masters like Ha Jinsung, which has honed his potential into fearsome combat skills. His most notable trait is his incredible ability to learn and copy techniques almost instantly after seeing them performed, often mastering moves that take others decades to learn. He is a skilled martial artist, specifically in Ha Jinsung-style Wave Motion techniques, which boast immense destructive power. His control over shinsu, the energy source within the Tower, is exceptionally proficient for a Regular, allowing him to perform feats far above his expected level. By this point in the story, his strength and notoriety have grown to the point where he is compared to the powerful Zahard Princesses, and even Rankers are wary of his potential and refer to him as a monster.
