Zhang Xiaohou

Biography
Longtime friend and sworn brother of Mo Fan, He is introduced as his colleague in Tianlan High School and is seen as one of the Main Characters in Versatile Mage. He joins the Military shortly after high school and is seen as a high climber rising through the ranks in almost record time due to his achievements.

He was calm at handling matters and able to stay collected when fighting against demon beasts. He was a brilliant Battle mage, but he would always retain his kid-like behavior when Mo Fan was around, wanting to show off his achievements.

Hilariously, due to his relatively young age compared with his status he is often looked over as the leader of his military group by passerby's. Regardless he is deeply respected by those under him and is seen as a capable leader in the military.

Catastrophe of Bo City
During the calamity of Bo City, he helped Mo Fan and fellow students defeat dark beast monsters of Black Vatican, unfortunately during one of the fights he lost his then girlfriend to a demon beast. This coupled with his admiration for the military efforts, he decides to join the military to strengthen his cultivation rather than take shelter in nearby cities.

Abandoned City Jin Lin
The military had a report of large numbers of monsters being slaughtered near a lake with the use of fire, lightning and shadow magic and had their souls stolen, Zhang Xiao Hou realises this could be Mo Fan who was seen to have demonized and been presumed dead, he subsequently disobeys military orders to investigate. He assists Mo Fan in pitting two commander leveled beasts into damaging each other so their group could slay them easily and collect their souls.

Abilities
Showing promise from his initial days in the army he was quickly considered a special forces soldier amongst battle mages. He started off as a scout and was mainly in charge of tracking and spying in the army. This developed his battle senses as scouts were typically at the forefront of the vanguard, due to this his foundation as a mage was solid as his cultivation progressed.

By the end of the Series, he was a Super Tier Wind Mage who can toy with a swarm of monsters.
