Hei's Contract allows him to generate and manipulate electricity, and to alter matter at a quantum level. However, he still accompanied Pai for the duration of the Heaven's Gate war, using his physical abilities in martial arts and other combat techniques. Prior to the incident at Heaven's Gate, Hei was not considered a Contractor and lacked any supernatural powers he also despised fighting. It is only after her disappearance that Hei gains Contractor abilities (in particular, the same abilities his sister had) as well as the BK-201 designation. Part of an organization with unknown ambitions known only as the Syndicate, Hei is searching for information regarding his sister Pai Pai was a Contractor - the original BK-201, in fact - who disappeared during the implosion of Heaven's Gate several years prior. His huge appetite, lack of the typical rational reasoning demonstrated by all Contractors and seeming lack of obeisance (the 'cost' paid for using Contract Powers) shroud his true character in mystery. Hei's "mundane identity" is a gentle-hearted student from China named Lee Shenshun ( 李舜生(リ・シェンシュン) Ri Shenshun ?), but when "working" he takes on the role of a seemingly (at first) affectless and ruthless killer nicknamed 'The Black Reaper' this alias was earned based on stories of BK-201's accomplishments as an assassin during the war at Heaven's Gate. In his team, Hei acts as the spy and assassin, swiftly dealing death without fail.

Various nations and organizations around the world train and utilize Contractors as spies and assassins, resulting in violent battles for valuable objects and information.įollowing the disastrous Heaven's War, the United States lost its dominant position as a superpower to a mysterious organization named the Syndicate. Their incredible abilities, however, are gained at the cost of their humanity - Contractors are thus named because of an involuntary compulsion to "pay the price" each time their power is used, which can range from eating particular foods and completing meaningless tasks, to self-harm and having their bodies change in peculiar ways. Kept secret from the masses, these individuals are known to murder in cold blood, smothering unnecessary emotions with logic and rationale. As such, Contractors are usually identified by their star's Messier catalogue number. Each fake star has a corresponding Contractor, which reacts to their activities. During this time, people possessing various special abilities emerged, each capable of different supernatural feats - these are known as Contractors. The real stars disappeared, replaced by false stars. Ten years ago, an inscrutable and abnormal territory known as Hell's Gate appeared in Tokyo, altering the sky and wreaking havoc on the landscape.
