Reseng was raised by cantankerous Old Raccoon in the Library of Dogs. To anyone asking, it’s just an ordinary library. To anyone in the know, it’s a hub for Seoul’s organised crime and a place where contract killings are plotted and planned.

He takes orders from the plotters, carries out his grim duties and comforts himself afterwards with copious quantities of beer and his two cats, Desk and Lampshade.
