Ha Yeonhee
Ha Yeonhee, better known as Wicked, is a member of the Nine Evils who rises to the top of Djinn society and attempts to organize its response to Orden.
Biography
Alliance, reversal, and recovery
Wicked meets the Chameleon Troupe from a position of apparent strength. Confident in the Djinn coalition’s chances against Orden, she proposes waiting for the Hero Association’s first attempt and then sending her own assassination force. She offers to recognize the Troupe’s authority in Pandemonium in exchange for its participation, tolerating Boss’s refusal to accept orders because Black Lotus’s firepower is strategically valuable. Her plan fails through her own executives’ disobedience: they privately decide to attack the Troupe, are defeated, and become prisoners in Genkelope, depriving Wicked of both trusted subordinates and the followers on whom her power depends. (Chapters 255–256)
The loss turns Wicked’s public dominance into private fear. Unable to leave her sanctuary without risking assassination by rival Djinns, she feigns confidence before her remaining followers while depending on the Troupe she had tried to recruit as an equal. Black Lotus eventually honors the negotiated release and returns Kirkin, whose arrival restores hope as well as part of her practical security. Wicked later appears with three released executives during Demon Realm Transformation, cooperates with Boss and Black Lotus to investigate a Demon Realm village, and insists on joining their hunt. This limited partnership does not make her a Hero, but it shows her adapting to dependence and common danger after her organization’s self-inflicted collapse. (Chapters 265, 274, and 283)
Appearance and personality
Wicked presents herself with the youthful name and appearance of Ha Yeonhee, a contrast the narration remarks on when she enters the meeting with the Troupe. She initially moves and laughs with conspicuous confidence, but the imprisonment of her executives leaves her skin coarse, her eyes dulled, and her composure dependent on performance. Her pride remains strong enough that she hides fear from subordinates and frames cooperation as negotiation, yet her relief at Kirkin’s return and her decision to accompany former rivals reveal genuine attachment to the people she personally raised. (Chapters 255–256, 265, and 274)
Gifts and abilities
Follower-based growth
Wicked’s Gift makes her stronger as the number of her followers increases. The corpus establishes the relationship but does not name the Gift or explain its rate, range, activation conditions, or whether every follower contributes equally. The mechanic makes leadership a direct part of her combat standing: losing six executives exposes her to rivals, while the staged release of only three lets Black Lotus preserve negotiating leverage over her. She nevertheless remains one of the Nine Evils and is treated as a formidable Djinn leader when she joins the Demon Realm investigation. (Chapters 265, 274, and 283)
Djinn standing and command
Wicked commands executives who are individually compared to high-rank Heroes and can bring multiple Djinn factions into an anti-Orden coalition. Her service to Baal establishes a devil contract, but the supplied scenes do not state which personal effects come from that contract or demonstrate a named combat technique. Her clearest established competencies are organizational: assessing the relative chances of rival operations, bargaining over Pandemonium, directing followers, and maintaining authority even when her private position has become precarious. (Chapters 255–256 and 274)
Relationships
- Kim Hajin: As Black Lotus, he joins Wicked’s planned coalition and later controls the release of her imprisoned executives. Returning Kirkin changes him from a useful business partner into the person on whom her recovery depends.
- Yi Byul: Boss negotiates with Wicked as an equal, accepts cooperation against Orden without accepting command, and later investigates Demon Realm Transformation beside her.
- Kirkin: Wicked’s right-hand executive is one of the followers sustaining both her authority and Gift. Their emotional reunion exposes how deeply his imprisonment affected her.
- Baal: Wicked serves Baal, although the corpus does not describe their direct dealings in her scenes.
