Urek Mazino

Urek Mazino is an Irregular, currently of the 4th rank. He is the strongest Ranker on the move, and also the most recent to be part of the top 5 High-rankers inside the Tower.

Origin of the sobriquet
Ray is his sobriquet due to his combat style, which forwards the Shinsoo as fast as light. Barakuda is the name of the most aggressive and ferocious White Steel Eel in the Tower.

Although his formal sobriquet is Ray Barakuda, just Barakuda also referrs to Urek in the Tower.

About
It took Urek 50 years to pass every test and climb all the way up to the top of the Tower. He is recorded as the fastest person to climb the Inner Tower in a normal way, and it would probably be accurate to say he scaled the tower faster than Zahard himself.

As the strongest of the current active Rankers, and as one of the founders of the Walhaiksong or the "Wing Tree, Urek Mazino is one of the most influential person inside the Tower. Moreover, it is not too much to say that his every single move is related to the future of the Tower.



Powers and Abilites
Although his main Position is Fisherman, he is proficient in most every other Position and very aggressive in all of them. He is adept in controlling Shinsoo with high movement speed, and this power is unblockable even with the superior armor inventory. People who have seen Urek Mazino in combat had evaluated his combat style as 'Agrressive, ferocious and fast, but tremendously beautiful.' It is rumored that he can create life using Shinsoo.

Relationship
His relationship is somewhat dull, partly because of his masculine manner. He has a magnanimous personality, but is very unpopular among women. It is rumored that he has a crush on one of Zahard's Princesses, Garam Zahard, but Garam herself hates Urek Mazino. Of course, this is not actually confirmed.

He is also acquainted with another princess, Yuri, and this is because he was one of the persons to plant 'Walhaiksong'. Yuri evaluated as "He's the best to fight together, but the worst to live with."

On the other hand, he has great support from men. 'White Sword' Arie Hon praised him as the true warrior after he fought him. It was when Urek Mazino took Arie Hon's test. Arie Hon's task was to endure all Arie's attacks for 10 minutes, but Urek Mazino fought on even ground with Arie. Urek Mazino has become the most famous Ranker in the Tower thanks to this opportunity. The reward from Arie Hon was the transfer of control of one of the floors to Urek Mazino's possession. After Urek became the Ranker, the 77th floor became his, and he transfered the control of 77th floor again to Backryun, who set up the stronghold of the Walhaiksong there.

Urek's best friend Backryun said that Urek is the number one comrade and man. 'Blue Advancer' Koon Eduan picked Urek as 'One of the person I wish to battle.' Of the three, Backryun, who is one of the first member to plant 'Walhaiksong' has a special relationship with Urek, and the two's influence inside the Tower is already equivalent to the heads of the 10 Great Families.

The relationship between Phantaminum and Urek is a very talkative issue, but it seems that Urek tracked Phantaminum and followed him inside the Tower.
