Lihuang Ei

"They look down on our organization, the rabble in the East, and even your volunteer police, accusing us of being powerless to capture the bomber. Hmph. Tough words, coming from insects who crawled to the island to live like leeches. How does it feel to be scorned by insects? If I had the freedom, I would turn each and every one of them inside-out and flay them alive before burning them."

- Lihuang to Sōji Kuzuhara on the islanders

Lihuang Ei (嬰 麗凰 Ei Lihuang) is an executive of the Chinese Mafia in the Western District, and the acting head of the family after his half-sister Yili Ei secretly disposed of their mutual father Ei daren.

Appearance
Lihuang keeps his long greyish hair pulled back into a ponytail, and he has an elaborate red tattoo on his right ear and cheek. He wears a black outfit with gold trim, over which he wears a long white coat with red trim.

His stare is sharp and icy, and he usually carries his Chinese broadsword with him when he's out and about the city.

Personality
Lihuang is a cold and abrasive person, described as a "vicious man with little pity." He is also a highly capable killer - but only when the situation has the right 'atmosphere' - without that atmosphere, Lihuang cannot bring himself to kill others.

He has been described as a tsundere by Sherlock Liverpool in reference to his interactions with Charlotte Liverpool. His soft side is also evident in his care for his younger half-sister, Lilei Ei.
