HAS a dissociative identity disorder, otherwise known as split personalities between Kasem (the original) and Somchai (the split persona)

The setting takes place in 2023, Seoul. In the world of killers and assassins, there is one living legend out of all them, and that is a man named Peter. Peter is an Apostle of Yeonggwang, and Raphael, Glory's Chairman, is currently setting a bounty on Peter's head who is the greatest of them all.

Glory, a rebranding of Yeonggwang after the former leader Father Gabriel was murdered by his adoptive son named Raphael, who would eventually take over his spot and rebrand Yeonggwang, originally a small orphanage and nursery center nursing the nation's best assassins, to a global scale economic and social, as well as entertainment and relief foundation referred to as Glory.

Previously, Father Gabriel of Yeonggwang had his own set of Apostles; 12 of the most talented killers in the nation, one of which was Peter, the legend.

Raphael allows his Apostles to have attachments, but with of course the risk of those attachments being a liability, and something that Raphael will definitely use against his killers if they were ever to disobey or not do their work properly.

After Raphael took over Yeonggwang and rebranded it to Glory, he picked his own set of Apostles; 12 of the strongest killers in the planet, to eradicate the remaining Apostles of Yeonggwang, especially Peter.

Raphael, Glory's Chairman, obsessed with Peter. Raphael's got a cruel, twisted plan to rule over the world, and taking in Andrew was merely another step for it.

Apostle Andrew, originally known as Kasem, was born into a Thai tribe that is full of worshipping. His life was defined by the tragedy of being born under the "Polar Night". Viewed as an cursed omen and a threat because of the said curse, the tribe decided to execute him when he was only a child. But instead, because of the persistent curse, he lived, though the event led him to develop a split personality disorder, in which his split persona is known as Somchai. Somchai empowered Kasem to be vengeful towards the tribe, and such decisions led Kasem to live a long, harsh path filled with self-imposed training to protect himself as well as to improve his ability of hypnosis.

After working hand-in-hand with Raphael as a child, and then eventually joining Glory, Andrew's obsession with psychological control can be seen through the way he agreed to do manipulative protection towards Hanna, as per Raphael's orders, as well as his controversial view of the world that once tried to obliterate his existence out of fear.

Apostle Andrew himself is a powerful combatant; his main ability being Hypnosis. Kasem himself, the original personality, can use the "Polar Night" Technique, in which he touches his opponent or anyone he wants, and they fall into a deep mental void in which he can strike at. The victims fall into a lucid-like state where it's almost impossible to break free once the victim falls under the technique, since they are doomed to die within a few hours. Unless Andrew purposely casts a safety net to protect them; in which in this case, almost never happens, the victims are unable to break free.

Somchai, the split persona on the other hand, is able to use the "White Night" Technique, which can be activated by a certain hand gesture (thumb, index and middle finger all clawing in like an eagle's feet clawing, as he turns his wrist). Unlike the "Polar Night", it isn't as violent and deep, it's much lighter which is more convenient to use since it's also just activated by a hand gesture; which means he can control an entire room if he wanted to, with the "White Night" Technique.

Aside from his Hypnosis, he is also physically strong because he knows how to perform Muay Boran, the original form of Muay Thai and is a very rare martial art, which he learned independently with the mindset to protect himself. Thanks to this, he can switch through a lot of his abilities.

After escaping the tribe's execution, he eventually encountered Raphael who had still been young back then. Raphael had stolen Peter's secret adoptive daughter whom Peter had saved, Hanna, after a certain accident in which Peter and the rest of the Apostles who knew about her existence, assumed she was dead. The incident left Hanna shocked was unable to speak, and so to slowly coax her back to normal, Raphael asked Andrew to use his hypnosis against her. Here, though Andrew knew from the get-go, Raphael pretended to be Hanna's dad, and told Andrew to manipulate her using the "White Night" technique every single day to make sure that Hanna sees Raphael as her dad, all the while to make sure she forgets about Peter.

Originally, Andrew, or rather Kasem, had refused Raphael's offer. However, just as he turned to walk away, his split persona Somchai kicked in and accepted Raphael's offer for him. Which means that no matter what Kasem does, he can barely make a choice for himself since his own split persona won't allow him to. And so every day without fail as children, up until they're adults, Andrew placed his "White Night" technique on Hanna.

Because of his self-loathing and guilt of manipulating Hanna through hypnosis daily, to the point where even Andrew himself doesn't know how deep her hypnosis has gone into since Raphael wanted to manipulate her through Andrew's ability, Andrew believes that deep down the only person who can save Hanna is Peter.

OTHERS:

• Hanna: same age as Andrew, fair skinned, big brown eyes, long middle part dark brown hair, pretty, rosy lips, slender and quite tall.
