History
Six years before the start of the series, Rey's parents died in an epidemic. He and his sister, Mey, drifted around before finding their way to the capital. Rey and his sister were brought along with thousands of other orphans under the pretense of care and shelter. At the "Gigantic Pagoda" where the Prime Minister resides, all the orphans are locked in a dark room, and each is given a sword. Being told that they would have to fight if they wanted to get out, they fought for months and the children became relentless, greedy, and violent, driven by the scarcity of food provided to them. Survivors were eventually swallowed up by a dark entity and were lost in the darkness. Mey was eventually swallowed up, and Rey soon followed. After the ordeal he woke with a 'demon stone' embedded into his forehead.
After some time, Master Loruan and his disciple, Shyao, found Rey, holding the Pasa sword. They witnessed Rey among hordes of slain demons across the field. Loruan saved him from insanity and raised Rey as one of his disciples. Loruan was eventually killed by White Tiger, who sought the Pasa sword. Loruan sacrificed himself using a forbidden spell for Rey and Shyao to escape with the Pasa sword.
Personality
Rey undergoes a somewhat dramatic change from the beginning of the manhwa. According to the description of Rey in the character files drawn by Hui-Jin at the end of volume eight, Rey is described as having; 'a tough, almost twisted personality, but remnants of his original understanding character still shine through. He is quick to anger but doesn't hold grudges... Making new friends has made him a mellower... Hui-Jin also reveals that Rey 'has a soft spot for women' and can be a bit shy around them (especially Shyao).
Rey has a kind personality. In the first volume, he seems almost inhuman, but he becomes more open to people over the course of the series.
Powers
Rey makes remarkable progress using Chan Kaihu's chastity technique, whichc is one of the more powerful techniques that Rey learns in 'Moonbeams Slice Through the Night Air' (English version). This power lets you cut through anything. Rey uses this technique to weaken the Sorcerer of the Dark in a battle. Rey's other 'powers' are what Ban-Go and the Pasa sword provide him with, along with decent swordsmanship and some raw strength.
Rey is beginning to merge more and more with the Pasa sword spirit and can interact with and threaten him. At one point he is even let into the demon's memories against his will. The two are quite alike, both being hot-blooded and as Rey mentions to the demon; 'You're not the only one here with a dark past.
As the series progresses, Rey continues to learn new techniques. One such technique is "A spell to shatter diamonds," in which a giant explosion is created by harnessing the earth element. The technique "Moonbeams Slice through the Night Air" is only the first of five techniques in the Metal element techniques described in the "Tome of Heaven and Hell. The "Dance of the Blazing Shadows ", is a technique based on the fundamental distinction between reality and illusion that tricks the opponent into thinking that the illusion is the real you.
