Ho

Ho (호) was a Regular that managed to pass most of the tests on the Second Floor and was assigned to the Wave Controller position before dying.

History
Before Ho came to the Tower everyone he knew was killed by a Ranker. Ever since that day Ho had wondered why god had given the Ranker such power and yet had not given him the power to save them.

Appearance and Personality
Ho was an androgynous human-looking guy with very long blonde hair, yellow eyes and a single red horn protruding from the right side of his head. He wore a white kimono with red trimmings.

Evankhell's Hell
He was seen in the fields during the "Deathmatch" Test.

Lero-Ro's Test
Ho eventually teamed up with Laure and Serena Rinnen after the "Deathmatch" Test and then managed to pass Lero-Ro's Test without too much trouble.

Yu Han Sung's Examination
During Yu Han Sung's Door Test, their team passed thanks to Laure's laziness shining through.

Crown Game
Ho's team came out in the second round of the Crown Game and he and Serena fought against Ship Leesoo while Laure fought Anak. After Anak ignited her hook and started rampaging, Ho grabbed Laure and forced their team to surrender as things had got difficult.

Position Test
He became amicable with Baam during the Position Test, but soon realised that Baam's talent handling Shinsoo was far greater than his, and he soon began to become envious. He then received an anonymous note telling him that if he killed Rachel then Baam would stop climbing the Tower.

Hide-and-Seek
When he was put on Team B for the Hide-and-Seek test, the same team as Baam and Rachel, he decided to put his plan into motion. He abandoned Serena Rinnen and headed to Rachel's Lighthouse. After persuading Rachel to come out by telling her that someone was targeting Baam, he held a knife to her throat and told her that he was going to kill her for god. However, Quant arrived and attacked him. Parakewl and Mauchi were able to distract Quant long enough for him to get into the Safety Zone, where they teamed up to hold Quant in position with hostages... then, when Baam arrived, Ho tried to get him to attack Quant by threatening to kill Rachel. Baam initially attacked Quant but, after learning from the Ranker, Baam was able to immobilise Ho long enough to save Rachel.

After revealing his history, Ho told Baam that they had never been friends and said that he hated him before committing suicide by stabbing himself.

Last Examination
Serena, Baam and a few others hosted a small funeral for Ho after he died.

Quotes

 * (To Twenty-Fifth Baam) "I always wondered... why God... gave it such power. And why didn't God give me the power to defend them. Like Laure's... or yours... that kind of power. If I only had such power... maybe... they wouldn't have died. Right- I didn't get rid of her to climb the Tower. It's not because you were my competitor. I just... for some reason... I really hated you, Baam."

Notes and Trivia
