Biography
Champion of Zone 1
The Jade Prince first arrives as the Champion watched carefully by Hank and the other local powers, carrying the authority of Zone 1 into negotiations and wider conflict. At the stadium, he directly meets the Obsidian Duke’s charge. His pure, radiant image counters the Nemesis’s heavy persistence, and their clash leaves the Duke recovering from serious injuries. The result confirms the Prince’s standing as an independently dangerous champion rather than merely a political title-holder. (Chapters 495, 499, 598, 1276–1277, 1297)
Appearance and personality
He dresses in a ruby-colored silk shirt and matching silk pants embroidered with roaring tigers. The luxurious, coordinated clothing gives him a princely silhouette without obscuring his readiness for violence. His controlled presentation and the caution he inspires suggest confidence and status; finer facial traits are not consistently specified. (Chapter 495)
Abilities and progression
The Jade Prince projects a pure, radiant image and uses it with enough precision to counter the Obsidian Duke’s wild, forceful attacks. The contrast implies control and clarity rather than simply greater mass, and the injuries he inflicts persist beyond the match. His exact image name, class, weapon mechanics, and advancement stage are not explicitly established. (Chapters 1276–1277, 1297)
