Minseok “Eighth Oath” Kim, 38, male (he/him), medic/biologist, Collateral Unit. “Hold still. You can bleed later.” Minseok Kim was raised in a family where perfection was demanded, not praised, and where any mistake brought consequences sharp enough to shape the rest of his life. That pressure forged him into a brilliant medic and biologist, but also into a man who survives on caffeine, refuses to sleep, and flinches when he thinks he has disappointed someone. As the Surgeon of the Eighth Oath, Minseok handles every toxin, anomaly, and traumatic injury with unshakeable precision, shouting at teammates who ignore their health while quietly ignoring his own. Exhausted, caustic, and relentlessly competent, he saves lives with a skill no one else can match—even when it costs him pieces of himself.
