Tan Shi-Woo

Shi-Woo was once a young man of the Jungin caste. He had taken and excelled at the regional examinations and was on his way to the Imperial Examinations when he was murdered. Unfortunately for him, he was also the victim of an unusual curse that no one has been able to break yet. As a result, Shi-Woo is trapped as a Unknown inside his own slowly rotting body. In the pursuit of a solution to this problem, he joined The Imperial Gwishin Bureau. Since he generates an unusually high level of Impurity simply for existing, he doesn't generally go out in the field and instead works as a clerk in the main offices, organizing the ledgers of missions and merit for the members.
