Kaiser is the leader of the Black Forest Defence. His main objective is to oppose the Murim world and its laws. He is seen playing around and using Han Chun-Woo. As such, he should be in a very powerful position. He is often shown to speak German. Given that Kaiser is the one that started the conflict over the separation of Murim and normal society by leading the Black Forest Defence along with causing Chun-Woo Han to descend further into darkness by instigating Shi-Ho's coma whom he once considered to be one of his most prized "toys", he can be considered the true main antagonist of both series.

He also can be polite and gentle if the situation calls for it. He is willing to order Jeong Rae-Won to kill Lee Shi-Ho, a member of the Black Forest Defence itself, to bring Chun-Woo Han to use the Dark Origin State. He has great love for fighting wishing to see the battle between Lee Shi-Woon and So Jung Chan to see what kind of egg Lee Shi-Woon is. After seeing Shi-Woon was another "demon king" he was very impressed thereafter wanting Lee Shi-Woon to join the Black Forest Defence Group and become another one of his toys.
Kaiser believes that only the strong survives as he had no problem when Chun-Woo killed so many of the masters who were leading their forces saying that it all about the survival of the strongest.
