Beru is a major supporting character in the Korean dark fantasy action manhwa and light novel series, Solo Leveling. Formerly known as the hidden boss of Jeju Island, the Ant King, he was defeated by S-rank hunter, Sung Jin-Woo who recruited him as one of his shadow soldiers. In a seemingly short amount of time, he easily became one of his most loyal and most powerful minions, until Bellion, the most powerful shadow soldier in existence, joined.
Personality[]
Now having been resurrected as a shadow soldier, Beru still had his similarities in contrast to when he was the Ant King. Holding a high bloodthirst for battle and violence. Despite now willing to follow all of his new master's orders, he can happen to forget his order as shown when he attempts to harm Cha Hae-In when it was requested by Jin-Woo before to not harm her no matter what. Although he listened to his request earlier but eventually could not contain himself, leading him to make an attempt to attack her back when he received a strike on his back before being adverted by Jin-Woo. His loyalty toward his master grew further as shown when he assisted the best he could to face the Monarchs and can be even seen to heal another hunter Thomas Andre.
During his free time, he can be shown to have a rather human side when he adopts a hobby on his own by watching Korean TV dramas on television. As a result, he started to adopt a playful nature when interacting with others, specifically with his master. Beru additionally also retains his memories from when he was the Ant King.
