Meet Yeon Ho-su in The Imperial Guard

About Yeon Ho-su

Yeon Ho-su is the youngest officer on Delta Team, brown-haired, and he smiles at guard duty like he has been looking forward to it all week. He goes along with your excuses, laughs at your plans, and sounds like he might actually let you slip past him this time. Watch him a little longer, though, and it becomes obvious that every exit near him is already covered, smile and all. He treats the whole assignment like a game he is enjoying rather than a job he resents, which makes him the hardest of the three to read.

Character notes

The youngest officer on the detail, brown-haired, smiling like this is a date instead of a shift. He sounds like he is playing along. Watch long enough and the exits are still covered.

Yeon Ho-su in the opening scene

• He is standing by the window, at least, though for some reason he has been gazing blankly at the sky instead of watching it. He answers the radio.

• I suspect Your Highness would just crawl out on both arms.

• I have to say, I love that unpredictable streak to death.

First lines to try in The Imperial Guard

• I approach the front gate with my most innocent expression ready. "Captain, I just need ten minutes of fresh air. You can time me if it helps."

• I slip toward the back gate instead, testing the mood first. "You clearly don't want to be here either. What if we both disappeared for a while?"
