Appearance=[Lei Heng is an imposing man of strong build and tall stature, seemingly surpassing two meters. He has a tan complexion and brown eyes. He has slick black hair that reaches his shoulders, parted in the middle and partially tied back in a ponytail, and with a dyed golden strand on the left. Lei Heng sports some stubble, and is seen smoking a cigar.

Lei Heng now has a prosthetic metallic head with an orange glow coming from inside across the spot where the eyes and nose would be. He is seen smoking two cigars on each end where the mouth would be.]

Attire=[Lei Heng dons an outfit of the Thumb, consisting of rose-red trousers, a matching jacket with four golden bars over his left lapel, over a brown shirt with an open collar and golden fastenings. Over his shoulders, he wears a long overcoat that matches his suit, and wears brown gloves. His suit jacket's sleeves and the lower half of the overcoat appear to have an ornate flower pattern printed on them. He carries a large podao that features exhaust pipes for the use of propellants, attached to his hip through an ammunition belt around his waist.]

Personality=[As a high ranking member of the Thumb, Lei Heng has a nonchalant demeanor, being used to receiving respect and carrying no regard for those beneath him. He appears confident in his role and comfortable in most situations, talking to Ryōshū in a casual way despite her obvious dislike for him, going as far as to speak down to her, knowing full well the Sinner wouldn't be able to retaliate against someone like him. Although he is now more cautious around the LCB since their last meeting.]

Likes=[To smoke]

Dislikes=[]

Goals=[Maintain his title as Capo III of the Thumb. Claim revenge from the LCB.]

Fears=[Jia Qiu, Ryōshū's sword Arayashiki when unleashed.]

Background/History=[In her youth, Ryōshū, while she went by the name Yoshihide, was tutored by a wide variety of members of the Five Fingers. One of these tutors, among the overarching group, was Lei Heng. While Lei Heng acted friendly to the girl, he abused her missing memories to get her to demonstrate the Arayashiki repeatedly. In return, Ryōshū despised him, something only exacerbated more and more as he met Araya, her daughter. Recognizing the girl as his tutee's tie to the House of Spiders, he reminded her to always expect her to end up hurt, given the weakness that people will be willing to abuse.

During interactions with Rien, Lei Heng expressed the constant worry of the Nursefather being ordered by a Prescript to kill him, though Rien took the interaction genuinely and comforted him that he wouldn't. Lei Heng was then made knowledgeable to the fact there was no point in joking with Rien.

Lei Heng attended the Family Hierarch Evaluation of Hongyuan, being affiliated in some way with one of the candidates that was attempting to become the next Hierarch. During the first Evaluation, he spotted Ryōshū in the crowd and walked over to say greet her, as he had not seen her in a long time. Before he reached the Sinners, Faust quickly urged Dante and the others to not speak to Lei Heng or look at him directly, as they were all too low ranking to speak to such a high ranking member of the Thumb. Unfortunately, an attendant of the Nangong family, one of the houses that was attending the Evaluation, was not aware of Lei Heng's rank and began to scold him for getting in the way of his master's view of the ongoing Evaluation. As is typical with a member of the Thumb, Lei Heng wasted no time punishing the attendant for this lack of respect, and sliced his arm off before proceeding to rip out the man's tongue. He then approached Nangong Xianhe, the young master of the Nangong family, and broke his hand off of his arm, mentioning that he was going easy on the young master due to being in a good mood from seeing Ryōshū.

After handling the infraction, Lei Heng then caught up with Ryōshū, all while Ryōshū had to restrain her urge to attack him. Only Faust's reminders that Ryōshū needed to wait long and remember the promise she made upon her employment to Limbus Company were enough to stop a fight from breaking out between the two. Lei Heng made several remarks about his shared past with Ryōshū, implying that he taught her how to use a sword and that the two were once worked together. He also asked if her "baby" was still at the House of Spiders, a place Ryōshū used to frequent and that Lei Heng still stops by when he has to, which almost made Ryōshū unsheathe her sword in anger. Before she could be further tempted to attack him, Lei Heng received a call from the Sottocapo and had to leave to answer it. As he left, he promised that they would meet again later to talk more, and in the process referred to to Ryōshū as "Yoshihide".

During the attempted coup against Jia Xichun making use of a power vacuum while she visits the Xianren, Lei Heng accompanies a faction of the Thumb that arrived to District 8, including his Sottocapo. While he was ordered to, alongside his men, stop Jia Xichun from reaching the Tiekan Temple and kill her prior to that, he failed. Deciding to accommodate this failure, he massacred Xichun's men, brutally maiming Wei likewise. Zilu would exchange herself to take a singular blow from Lei Heng, his promise being that Wei will be allowed to leave afterwards. Utilizing his newly learned Shin, he struck Zilu diagonally across her chest with a singular ring of Mang, nearly killing her even while she used Shin as protection. A man of his word, he kicked Wei to the Sinners, preparing himself to slaughter the rest of them. While the first moments of battle are one-sided, Lei Heng was brought to the level of the Sinners due to Dante's newfound Golden Bough resonance; despite the difficulty in now being more likely to struggle, Lei Heng acknowledges and admires the gamble. Even still, he proved too powerful and skilled for the group and nearly eradicated them, remarking that the Sinners would have won had Ryōshū unsheathed her blade, right before Jia Qiu arrived. Taking over the battle from here, he and Lin Daiyu battle the Thumb, managing the Capo while holding him off.

As the Sinners return from their business inside the chamber, Lei Heng is all that remains of the Thumb forces. Realizing his status as both heavily wounded and outnumbered, he attempts to plead for his life, willing to grant what is needed to allow him to leave, if Jia Qiu wills it. In accordance, Jia Qiu offers him the same treatment as what he gave Zilu - a single blow he may survive. Lei Heng, understanding this implication, took a new cigar from his pocket and took a drag from it. With Jia Qiu's staff placed atop his right shoulder, he generated five rings of Mang. After taking one last reverent drag from his cigarette, defeatedly claiming "Hit me", his head is obliterated, raining gore upon all present as the pieces of his skull are sent flying.

After his supposed death, his status as a member of the Pinky is discussed. Within the Pinky, he was known as the Winged Tiger and held the seat of the Tiantui Star, which is now vacant following his death. Whether his status as a member of a rival Finger was known to the Thumb or not is unknown.

Despite being apparently deceased, several memories of Lei Heng surface to Ryōshū's mutilated mind. These memories, intermingling with the recollection of her time in Hongyuan, feature him acknowledging his death, as well as reminding Ryōshū to remain gripping the thread that leads back to Araya.

In the future, Lei Heng comes back with a prosthetic head granted by N Corp. when they least expect it.]

Habits/Hobbies=[Smoking, swinging swords.]

Mannerisms=[Cusses a lot.]

Abilities and Skills=[Lei Heng is a master swordsman, able to use both Shin and Mang.]

Extra Information=[Limbus Company is a wealthy and enigmatic company "practically built on secrecy and suspicion". The corporation has zero budgetary concerns, and possesses backing from shareholders of a wide array of fields. It consists of at least five different departments of varying specialties: the LCA, LCB, LCC, LCD, and LCE. These departments are said to lack a common goal, but tend to behave in ways benefiting the LCB's amateurish adventures, such as planning out the Sinners' missions or cleaning up their messes after the fact.

The Limbus Company Bus Department, or LCB, is the department primarily tasked with finding and retrieving the Golden Boughs. Beyond that, they're also Limbus Company's field operations unit. This LCB is named after their mode of transportation, the bus Mephistopheles.

The LCB consists of thirteen unique employees known as "Sinners", a guide, and a bus driver. The 10th Sinner also functions as the group's Executive Manager.

The Sinners are: Yi Sang, Faust, Don Quixote, Ryōshū, Meursault, Hong Lu, Heathcliff, Ishmael, Rodion, Dante, Sinclair, Outis, Gregor. In order of when they joined the LCB.

Like the other four Fingers, the Thumb is a large Syndicate with a unique culture and creed that all members follow fervently. In particular, members of the Thumb value politeness and respect to one's superiors above all else. The Thumb presents a strict hierarchy, at the head of which sits the Capo dei Capi, to whom the entire Syndicate, as well as their subsidiaries, must defer. The Thumb itself is composed of a number of smaller groups typically referred to as families, or Famiglie. Among these Syndicates, seven families, or the Sette Famiglie of the Backstreets, are considered leading member Syndicates, holding far more power and influence compared to the common subsidiaries of the Thumb.

In practice, the Thumb's dedication to politeness means that the Syndicate demands absolute compliance to hierarchy, as when dealing with the Thumb, any action that demonstrates a lack of respect for higher authority will be met with immediate punishment. Depending on the mistake, the consequence may extend past the rule breaker, to even their blameless comrades. Ultimately, the Thumb will punish anyone it deems an offender, regardless of how innocent the mistake or clueless the individual is.

Members of the Thumb also understand their own need to respect outsiders, and may spend time studying the hierarchy of other City factions in order to ensure they never disrespect someone of a higher rank. Thumb punishments tend to revolve around the removal of body parts, such as body dismemberment or the forceful removal of one's tongue.

While the attire of the Syndicate differs slightly depending on the quadrant of the City, members tend to dress in black, red, and gold attire. Each member's status can be gleamed from their uniform, as the Thumb signifies its ranks by the number of arrows on its badges, and sub-rank by the number of pins on its collars. The Thumb's weapons of choice are guns, which they make varied use of—such as through fighting with the bayonet or buttstock—in order to cut down on bullet costs.

[Currently taking place in the Pinky Corridor, where Ryōshū attempts to recall the time she made boxed lunches for her daughter. They encounter Rufo there, who is a Docent of the School of Fauvism. Her and Ryōshū engage in a lengthy discussion about the worth of Fauvism and Ryōshū's personal approach to aesthetic that concludes with the reveal that Ryōshū plans to found her own art movement within the Ring. Rufo engages in battle with the Sinners and loses, and right before she can succumb to her injuries, destroys the only door allowing escape from the Corridor. Ryōshū decides she must wield Arayashiki to form an exit.

The Sinners present are: Yi Sang, Faust, Don Quixote, Ryōshū, Meursault, Hong Lu, Heathcliff, Ishmael, Rodion, Dante, Sinclair, Outis, Gregor. They are accompanied by Kira.]
