Qi Bai Jia

Leading staff officer and Dark Crow Valley mission commanderno Super class establishedStardragon Division 13

Qi Bai Jia is the Division 13 staff officer placed in charge of Stardragon's agents during the joint reconnaissance of Germinal's Dark Crow Valley base. Although he has to negotiate an awkward chain of command with Hesla, he consistently protects his personnel, recognizes the strategic value of Han Xiao's discoveries, and accepts responsibility for the operation's politically messy conclusion.

Biography

Escape from Germinal and the Aquamarine War

Qi Bai Jia briefs the joint Stardragon–Hesla team, distributes intelligence on Pan Kuang, and remains at the forward camp to coordinate the agents and monitor their transmissions. He respects Han Xiao's restraint during Hesla's provocations and later trusts his report about the base's hidden inner sector, immediately recognizing that an attack confined to the outer installation would leave Germinal's core intact. When Colonel Carl orders a premature assault, Qi Bai Jia protests that Stardragon personnel are still exposed and is disarmed and detained for objecting. After Han survives the planned missile strike, Qi Bai Jia tries to keep him away from the front line for his safety, then prepares to commend him in the mission report. Han's killing of Carl makes the extraction diplomatically dangerous, but Qi Bai Jia is relieved when Hesla fails to capture him. The Intelligence Department removes the Stardragon party by jet and orders Qi Bai Jia, as mission leader, to report the incident; no later chapter establishes what happens to him. (Chapters 69–80, 82, 87–88)

Appearance and personality

Qi Bai Jia is described as having good-looking brows and is shown adjusting his collar before introducing himself. He is orderly, diplomatic, and conscious of protocol, but not blindly obedient: he challenges an allied commander when his agents are endangered. His irritation at being nominally in charge is tempered by practical trust in capable subordinates, especially when their independent action produces valuable intelligence. (Chapters 69–70, 73, 76, and 79–80)

Abilities and class

No Super class or personal combat ability is established for Qi Bai Jia. His demonstrated strengths are staff work, intelligence assessment, mission coordination, and interagency negotiation. He prepares operational dossiers, organizes monitoring shifts, evaluates the strategic implications of the hidden base, and reports developments through Stardragon's command structure. (Chapters 70, 74, 76, and 79–80)

Relationships

  • Han Xiao: Qi Bai Jia comes to trust Han's judgment and intelligence, argues against an assault that would endanger him, and intends to praise his performance. Han's repeated independent action also causes him anxiety and leaves him responsible for explaining the final incident. (Chapters 73, 79–80, 82, 84, and 87–88)
  • Li Yalin, Lin Yao, and Zhang Wei: They are Division 13 personnel under Qi Bai Jia's mission authority. He coordinates their deployment and protests when Hesla's orders put the field team at risk. (Chapters 69–80)
  • Di Su Su: She represents Hesla's intelligence side in the joint mission. Qi Bai Jia works alongside her organization but must navigate the rivalry between the two national teams. (Chapters 69–74)
  • Carl: Carl overrides Qi Bai Jia's objections, detains him, and proceeds with the dangerous assault. Their conflict embodies the failed joint command arrangement. (Chapters 80 and 82)

Items
