Appearance
As the son of Jinwoo, he bears a great resemblance to his father. Entering his teen years, he grew in a lanky teenager with similar haircut and facial expression like his father.
Personality
Suho harbors a strong fervent aspiration to surpass his father, who consistently outmatches him during their free times, a desire that burns intensely within him. At school, he takes an interest in confronting his classmates but takes no such notice of his grades.
Biography
Six months after his birth, Suho would develop the ability to fly through Ruler's Authority, startling his mother from the event while Irgis, Bellion, and the Shadows cheered him on, while developing a close relationship with Jinwoo's Shadow Soldiers. However, his powers would lead to him frightening his classmates, whom were naturally more preceptive to such things than adults, leading to Jinwoo sealing his memories and powers until he was old enough to be taught how to use them.
Ability and Powers
As the son of the Shadow Monarch and an S-Rank Hunter (potential), Suho has immeasurable potential, able to use Ruler's Authority as an infant, floating in the air with other items around him. Fearing his potential may cause harm to himself and others Jinwoo would lead Suho's powers and memories to give him a normal life.
During the Tutorial Trials in high school, a dreamlike world, he entered a gate with access to the System, with Suho fighting through monsters and Shadow Soldiers, building up to the power surpassing an average S-Rank Hunter at lv. 99, the same level Jinwoo fought the Ant King, with Igris noting that he hasn't reached his full potential, but hasn't passed the level limit. He would then fight Jinwoo in a one-on-one battle, losing the power obtained in the tutorial and considered the incident a dream.
In Ragnarok, Suho would awaken his latent abilities and inherited the System, leading to him able to fight and level up against the Mistburns, managing to hold them back before Beru arrived to handle the rest. However, similar to Jinwoo, he would start leveling up to build up the power to fight the invading Apostles and assist his father in fighting the Itarim. However, it was later revealed that due to Jinwoo's System being powered by Ashborn, meant to build him into a strong vessel for the Shadow Monarch, Suho's System was limited to letting him reach the limit of lv.99. He would solve this issue through using Antares, the Dragon Monarch's power as the foundation, leading to Suho being built up into a vessel for the Monarch of Destruction.
- Immense Strength: In the Tutorial, his temporary strength has reached an insane level from reaching level 99, managing to defeat Igris then fought Bellion in combat, managing to fight Jinwoo for a time, but was overpowered himself. His attempts at reaching a high enough level to defeat Igris would lead to him scaling the Demon Castle at breakneck pace, almost demolishing the demons with one hit. In Ragnarök, Suho started building up strength from acquiring the System, putting stat points into Strength stat in stride, from dealing with low-ranking Hunters, weaker Mistburn, Demons, and other Monsters, as well as daily quests. Meeting Ammut, Suho would undergo intense training, tearing and healing torn muscles,[1] building up a strong vessel, leading to him ultimately transcending his physical limits.
- Immense Speed: Suho has exceptional speed and agility, as demonstrated by his ability to keep pace with his father's rapid movements during their brief confrontation during the Tutorials, before being overpowered.
- Combat Mastery: Despite lacking formal training, Suho is a natural-born fighter. He excels in unarmed combat and is also proficient with weapons like swords and daggers, though he prefers to fight bare-handed. His extensive experience battling in the Dungeons his father created has honed his skills with weapons.
- Accelerated Development: Like his father, Suho possesses an extraordinary growth rate assisted by the System, having inherited his parents' talents. He can rapidly enhance his power through intense training. This was most evident when he quickly learned to transform Shadows into weapons and equipment, a skill that took his father years to acquire.
- Monster Language Fluency: Suho can speak and understand the language of monsters. He uses this skill to talk to Ammut and the monsters he fights.
Skills
Passive Skills
- Longevity: Suho is resistant to all illnesses, poisons, and talents that could jeopardize his rank, just like his father. Additionally, he regenerates much more quickly than the average person, and this speed rises enormously when he sleeps.
- Detoxification: Similar to his father, Suho's body can find any poisons in his bloodstream and then automatically rid itself of them. Since alcohol is seen as a toxin, Suho is unable to get intoxicated.
- Martial Arts: Adds 33% more damage to opponents when you use your body to attack.
- Tenacity: At level 1, physical defenses rise by 20%, and at level 3, they reach 60%.
- Increased Strength: Increases strength by 30%.
- Elf's Steps: A stealth skill taught to Suho by Sirka, Sillad's successor. This allows Suho to basically leave no tracks/footprints in any terrain by applying mana on the soles of his feet. In one instance, it even allowed him to walk on the surface of the Sea after Death when he was searching for the World Tree.
- Advanced Dagger Techniques: From his double swordsmanship skill, his Double Sword skill evolved, but preferred swords to his father's. However, his Sword skill suddenly evolves into Kamish's Wrath when it was an item given as a quest reward.
- Gluttony: When Esil took over as the new Queen of Demons, the Monarch of Gluttony, she appointed Suho as her priest and granted him a blessing. Gluttony: it allows Suho to refine the 'nutrients' of the world with more efficiency during a level-up by raising the absorption rate to 300%.
- (Unknown) Lv. Max: Although not much is known about this skill, it seems to enable Suho to enter The World of Nothingness, where Higher Existences such as Monarchs go after they die. According to Antares, no matter how he looked at it, Suho never inherited or acquired this skill from his father. This is a place where even his father, the Shadow Monarch, and any other being cannot go. As long as he is within one of the Deceased Monarchs Sanctuary's, this skill will activate automatically.
Active Skills
- Ruler's Authority: Suho can move and control objects via telekinesis, his proficiency is first demonstrated when he was an infant, as he gains the ability of flight with ease just like his father. He would regain this ability after becoming a Player, learning to enhance his strikes by coating himself in the "invisible hand" it makes.
- Shadow Extraction: It is a form of parasitism that helps the necromantic creature form an image of itself.
- Form Change: The unique feature of Suho's power allows him to inexplicably twist the shape of any shadow warrior he has acquired to greater ends.

- Shadow Exchange: Suho travels immense distances in a flash of time through the use of shadows.
- Monarch's Domain: In fights, Suho is capable of boosting the power of every shadow he currently controls. However, unlike his father’s form of this ability, Suho’s variation of this skill comes with fire because he possesses certain traits of Antares.
- Bloodlust: Suho may magically scare an opposing combatant into submission, instilling great terror and reducing their stats by 50%. It can even be utilized against numerous opponents simultaneously.
- Storm Slash: Similar to Mutilation, a person can use the area of effect sword skill to deal with advancing enemies in large groups by unleashing multiple swords strikes.
- Storm of Black Flames: Evolution of Storm Slash. After Suho completes his first Draconic Trial for his job change by reaching level 99, he receives Antares' Dragon Heart as a reward. The flames from the Dragon's heart engulfed Suho and caused a mutation in some of his skills.
- Giant's Armor: A gigantification skill learned from a rune stone that takes the form of magical armor by enlarging the body. Suho's skills evolved when those flames from the Dragon Heart belonging to Antares were infused into him.
- Slaughter: This dagger-wielding ability unleashes a torrent of fast-moving slashes that are imperceptible to the unaided eye.
Bond Skills
- Beast Possession: Rakan's blessing. This helps Suho to assimilate Gray's spirit body. The ability is reminiscent of Beast Transformation and 30 pretentiously raises his movement and attack speed.
- Iron Body Technique: Taught to Suho by Ammut, Tarnak's previous master. It is a power that allows an individual to exceed the limits of their physical body and transcend into the realm of the soul, surpassing the laws of physics to strike directly at a spiritual body with sheer strength. When the skill is in use parts of Suho's body are covered in black armor, especially his arms which effectively act like a gauntlet. According to Ammut, he had tried to apply the skill to cover a weapon but had been unsuccessful. Even Tarnak failed to do so, making Suho the first person to achieve this feat.
- Poison: It has been given by Querehsha. This gave Suho immunity to all poisonous substances that come his way whenever ingested. More so, in addition to these, he gets to reproduce those poisons in making the enemies poisoned.
- Frigid Blizzard: Sillad bestowed the blessing. This enables Suho to actually produce a blizzard, which acts as a debuff to reduce attack and movement speed.
- Demon Strike: It is a bond skill that allows him to channel the energy of the "Descendant of White Flames" to unleash a tremendous blast. When Suho is utilized, the desired body portion glows with black-and-red illumination.
- Grasslands Wind: Like Quicksilver, while Gray has this skill, Suho's speed and attack speed are temporarily increased by 30%.
- Spirit Armament: This bonding ability was acquired from Sirka, the "Descendant of Frost." By sacrificing spirits, this ability temporarily improves shadow warriors; the qualities and degree of improvement vary according to the kind and quantity of spirits employed. Some might even acquire elemental affinities, which would give them more advantages.
Job Skills
- Breath of Destruction: Antares' special skill that he obtained as the potential successor of the Dragon Monarch, Suho, learned it from Antares while he fights Baran for his third Draconic Trial as part of his job change task. Allows Suho to fire a truly gob-smacking level of power, unleashing blinding torrents of fire from either his mouth or from the palms of his hands with an attack capable of traveling at the speed of light. It would also allow Suho to 'purify' the mana contamination from the demons in order to turn them into shadow soldiers.
- Shadow Creation: A skill gained as the Irregular: White Shadow in the Manwha, one which lets him turn Shadow Soldiers into actual weapons and items usable for others. However, once turned into these items, the Shadow Soldiers cannot turn back.

- Kasaka's Venom Fang:
- Kamish's Wrath: Suho received Kamish's Wrath as a reward for completing a mission: Dragon King's Trial 3, being the strongest weapons in Jinwoo's arsenal in his war against the Monarchs, however, the daggers would become dulled and damaged, having an attack power of +500 instead of +1500. Despite this, Kamish's Wrath still proved Suho's strongest weapons, while compatible with the Dragon Monarch's Heart and could still be enhanced with his mana. After seeing them, the Shadow Dwarves could repair them if Suho acquired the bones of a Dragon to sharpen them, which Hae-in brought, but hasn't been repaired yet.
