Headon


 * "If the Princess chooses to lend this child the 'Black March', I will look away just this one time." 


 * - Headon to Yuri

Headon (헤돈, Hehdon; "Headon") is the Guardian of the First Floor and is the caretaker of the Tower.

Appearance and Personality
Headon has the appearance of a white rabbit because of his long ears. He swirls a long yellow stick with two green balls at the ends. On both sides of his face Headon has mouths that also house his eyes.

He talks in a friendly manner, but can in fact be a bit cruel and manipulative. He is also a liar, seeing as he hid the fact Rachel was already on the First Floor so Baam wouldn't waver in his determination to look for her.

He looks at things in a seemingly logical fashion.

About
Although it's likely Guardians can't desert their floors, Headon seems to be the only Guardian with the ability to visit other floors from the 1st to the 134th. This is because he teleports into any of the 134 Floors of the Outer Tower or the Middle Area when selecting Regulars.

All Regulars are selected by Headon and since they're teleported to the Second Floor upon entering the Inner Tower, they don't get to see him.

He is also one of the veteran Guardians in the Tower.

Tower of God: Part 1
Rachel had entered the Tower, calling him "Fae", and asking for guidance. He told her she wasn't allowed to climb the tower, to her dismay, calling her an "Incredibly dirty, foul, lying, naughty little girl". She asked for a chance to gain the opportunity, and Headon called upon the Ball Test. When she denied such a dangerous test, she was locked away, and forced to watch Baam take the test in order to find her.

When Baam, in search of his friend Rachel, comes into the Tower, Headon welcomes him. Then he tests him with a Ball and a White Steel Eel, telling Baam he can go to the next floor if he can pop the Ball. When Yuri and Evan arrives and tells him it is too much for Baam, he answers that the test is at the adequate level, because Baam is an Irregular. However, Headon agrees to bend the rules and says that if Yuri lends Baam the Black March, he would look away just this once.

When Baam disappears with Black March after popping the Ball, Headon urges Yuri to go and find him. After the angered Yuri goes away, he asks Rachel who had been watching the entire test what she will do now that Baam has begun climbing the tower and Rachel wonders why it was that Baam had been chosen and not her. Headon replies that it is the will that is important, complimenting Baam's courage and saying Rachel is unqualified to climb The Tower. He does say that if she can fulfill his request, he will let her be the heroine of this story. Rachel seemingly agrees. Headon lends Akryung to her to act as a guard, and sends her up. It is revealed that Yu Han Sung, the director of tests of the 2nd Floor has also been conspiring with Headon all along to allow Rachel to ascend the Tower. The Yu Han Sung then introduces Hwa Ryun to Rachel as her Guide, who along with Yu Han Sung, manipulated all the Regulars into feeling obliged to help Rachel climb the Tower.

Powers and Abilities
Teleportation: Headon can instantly teleport himself and others through The Tower. When he does this, a pink flash appears momentarily.

Caretaker of the Tower: It is unknown what this implies and if he actually acts upon the wishes of the Tower. Nonetheless, Headon is still considered a veteran Guardian and might just be the strongest Guardian of Zahard's Floors. As he is binded by the Tower's Rules when conducting an Irregular's test, it means he only has "close to full authority".

Guardian Power: Headon is a Guardian, and is essentially linked to Shinsoo itself.
