In addition, he learns and absorbs information at a faster rate than other people, and can preserve this information for longer still.

Short History: Born in the later part of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea, he was born to a wealthy but overbearing family, encouraged strongly from a young age to engage in scholarly pursuits, and to become a government official, a highly sought after job in that time. Barely passing the Civil Service Examination, he managed to fulfill his goal of becoming a yangban or one of the aristocracy of the Joseon Dynasty. However, continued to expand his knowledge, becoming hermetic at times, possessing an affinity for it that few around him could match. Decades later, when out on a walk, he was confronted by a samiho, or a nine-tailed fox, in disguise as a beautiful lady. He immediately saw through the disguise, the demon about to retaliate and take his life. However, he managed to both stop her, and before she realized, he had somehow tricked her out of her immortality and powers of ghost-sight. The Samiho disappeared, and Seung continued living. However, when people began to be suspicious of his longevity, and he quickly devised a plan to fake his death, blending in with the rest of the quickly westernizing South Korea. Making the proper arrangements to fake his death a few more times, he worked as a lawyer, a Chinese professor, and at a traveling circus as a "shaman", before he was mysteriously taken from his home.

Other: Can speak fluent English, Korean, and Chinese.
