Arie Hon

Arie Hon is a High-Ranker, currently in the 5th ranking. He is also the head of the Arie Family. He would have a high seat of authority, being the strongest of the 10 Family heads.

The origin of the sobriquet
Arie Hon is the owner of the White Oar, the only sword made by Mecseth. White Oar is known as the only S+ grade weapon inside the Tower. Warriors in the Tower say the well-edged weapon is 'like an oarfish' because of this. Mecseth had never produced a weapon after making White Oar. The name of the sword is from Oarfish, a legendary white steel eel.

About
One of the 10 Great Warriors who have pioneered the Tower alongside King Zahard. Outstanding swordsman, who has no problem with his mysterious swordsmanship even in high density of Shinsoo. He fought Urek Mazino evenly, but after the combat, he is known to have said 'Urek Mazino is much better.' He is known to be very temperate and elegant normally. He is well mannered even in a fight, but has never fought anyone after fighting Urek.

Arie Hon stays at the 100th Floor of the Tower as the head of Arie family, and his territory is the largest of the 10 Great Families. He is famous for giving special tests to the Regulars with an extraordinary reward, but the level of difficulty is so high that most of the Regulars don't even dare take them. To date two people are known to have passed his test.

The last person to past the special test is his daughter, Arie Hagipherione Zahard, and the reward is still unknown. The rumour says it was a 'very personal and childish reward'.

Urek Mazino also passed this test, and that is when he fought Arie Hon. Arie Hon's task was to endure his attacks for 10 minutes, but Urek Mazino fought evenly. Urek Mazino became the most famous Ranker in the Tower thanks to this opportunity. The reward from Arie Hon was the transfer of the control over one of the floor in Arie Hon's possession. After Urek became a Ranker the 77th Floor became his, and he transferred the control again to Backryun, who set up the stronghold of Walhaiksong there.
