En
The mushroom-themed crime boss of the Sorcerer's world, who rose from slavery and Hell to build a criminal empire.
En is the leader of the En Family and a business magnate in the Sorcerer's world, with a magic specialism themed around mushrooms. At a young age, En was sold into work slavery under an oppressive human regime; believed to be worked to death, his body was dumped and then taken to hell by a demon. Subsisting in Hell on mushrooms, En eventually grew strong enough to return to the surface, killing his oppressors and building a criminal empire. Eventually, coming under threat from a gang of humans with red cross tattoos on their eyes, En almost died in a battle with their leader. Fearing a resurgence of the gang, En begins seeking Caiman upon hearing of a sorcerer killer with cross tattoos.

Lore & Background
En's early life was brutal: sold into work slavery under an oppressive human regime, he was worked nearly to death. His body was dumped and then taken to Hell by a demon. There, subsisting on mushrooms, En grew strong enough to return to the surface. He killed his oppressors and built a criminal empire. Later, he came under threat from a gang of humans with red cross tattoos on their eyes—the Cross-Eyes Gang—and almost died in a battle with their leader. When news of a lizard-man killing sorcerers, one with cross tattoos and magical resistance, reaches En, he believes Caiman is tied to the Cross-Eyes Gang. En sends his cleaners, Shin and Noi, to kill Caiman.
Reader's Guide
En is a sorcerer whose power is specifically mushroom-themed. He is the de facto ruler of the Sorcerer's world, having built a criminal empire after escaping slavery and Hell. His key subordinates are Shin and Noi, who act as his cleaners. En's primary motivation in the story is his fear of the Cross-Eyes Gang, whose leader nearly killed him. When he learns of Caiman—a lizard-headed man with cross tattoos who kills sorcerers—En believes Caiman is connected to the gang and orders his death.
