Tales of Park 'The Beast' Kang-Dae reverberate throughout the APA military, and while the exploits described vary, the core elements of each story remain the same - intense urban combat, horrific bloodshed and a hard fought victory for the APA side. General Park is much storied, much feared leader of the "Bloody 9th", the APA's specialist Urban Combat division, a group famed for their ability to brutally cleanse the city of enemy presence, leaving little more than spattered blood and eerie silence in their wake. The Beast is a master of both armed and un-armed combat, a skilled tactician and an utterly remorseless presence on the battlefield; no matter how many lives it takes, no matter how many human rights conventions shattered, no matter what the cost, he will have his victory.
He has the Chinese characters 骠骑 (piao qi, meaning "mighty cavalry"), 常勝 (chang sheng, meaning "always victorious") on his pockets in front of his armour.
'Piaoqi' is a title given to capable generals during the Chinese dynasties - a title befitting Park, a highly-ranked general himself.
