Cha (차, Cha) is a war hero who sealed himself within the Wall of Peaceful Coexistence in order to be closer to Dowon. He is a Co-leader of the Hidden Grove team along with Dowon and a descendant of the "first man".

Appearance and Personality
He has tan skin with black hair and eyes. His ears are slightly pointed and he has a tattoo/mark on his right cheek in the form of a black windmill. In his initial appearance, he wears a blank tank top and a green headband.

History
Following the war history of FUG against the Zahard Empire, at some point, like Dowon, Cha also seems to be one of the many outstanding Rankers from many countries who opposed Zahard to become king of the tower. He probably receive a special training under the masters at FUG as well. After all of these outstanding rankers completed their training, they were assigned in their respective special teams. Cha was assigned as the leader of Hidden Grove team, along with Dowon, Khun Hynd Luch, Taro York, Toro and three other unnamed members. During the war, the Hidden Grove team quickly gained notoriety as one of the best teams that emerged during the war after they successfully killed direct descendants of the 10 Great Families.

Three Months before Dowon was sealed, the Hidden Grove team members (Dowon, Khun Luch and Taro York) were being chased by the Ancient Odd-Eyed Giant Cobra, one of the 23 special beasts of Lo Po Bia Family which was controlled by the 8th son of the Lo Po Bia Family Head. Dowon managed to slow down the giant cobra with her Flower Garden skill, before Cha finally came to their aid along with Toro and one other member.

The 8th son then revealed his real intention before of all members of the Hidden Grove team that were present at the time, stating that he was sent to deliver a special message to Dowon that she had to surrender to be sealed at the Wall of Peaceful Coexistence. After hearing the message, the team decided to end the fight with the snake and returns to its warship. In the meeting room, all members of the Hidden Grove team are gathered to hear Dowon's opinion, all of them are present, except Cha. But it turns out Cha waited on the outside of the meeting room. In a teary good bye with Dowon, Cha finally confessed his hidden feelings for Dowon, by asking if he could ask her out after she got unsealed. After Dowon was sealed, Cha was deeply saddened. He left the team and went to go on a rampage, killing several allies of the Zahard Empire before requesting to be sealed himself.

Dowon
After he becomes unsealed, he saw Toro died in front of him. Later, Cha interrupts the fight between the 5th Army Corp and the Canines with an energy blast. Cha remembers before he was sealed away that a man told him to sealed himself away in order to see Dowon again. The man also told Cha he would see a special boy from a noble bloodline.

The Nest
Cha accepts the apology of the Chairman of the Wall of Peaceful Coexistence and insists he stop bowing before him as he already got it. He asks Khel Hellam if he still won't act to fight Zahard's Army and the Elder affirms his decision, as the recent defeat taught him again that Zahard is able to see fate one step ahead of him and though Baam may have the power to turn the tides, he is too weak to battle Zahard's Army and regretfully it means they will have to abandon Ha Jinsung to whatever fate Zahard's Army has in store for him and not support Baam. Cha is unconvinced as he has vowed to serve Baam and tells Khel Hellam they will thus part ways, though his help could be invaluable.

Cha then meets Viole and pledges allegiance to him and reveals all he knew about the ancient nations and Viole's mother.

Relationship

 * Dowon: Cha is very close to Dowon and holds romatic feelings for her.
 * Toro: As a fellow teammate of the Hidden Grove, Toro was extremely loyal to Cha. He sacrificed his life to unseal him. Cha cried for Toro once he was unsealed.
 * Twenty-Fifth Baam: Cha pledges his loyalty to Baam and is part of Baam's vanguard during the invasion of the Nest.

Powers and Abilities
As the co-leader of the extremely powerful Hidden Grove team that had even killed the first children of the 10 Family Heads, Cha must be an extremely powerful High Ranker. After he left the team out of sadness over Dowon being sealed, he was capable of killing countless of Zahard Army's Rankers and forces by himself before ultimately being forced to run away. Another testament to his power was how Zahard's Army sent Lo Po Bia Yasratcha to fight him. With just a single attack, he was able to push back the Fifth Squadron Commander, whereas the latter could easily defend himself from the likes of Evankhell and Yama, with the Fifth Corps opting to gang up on him at once. Shinsoo Mastery: Cha was able to unleash an extremely powerful beam of Shinsoo energy that could make Yasratcha struggle to block it and blow him back.
