“	Heki is an officer with true achievements under his belt.	”
—Ka Ryo Ten referring to Heki's ability.

Heki is a General of the Qin Military and the leader of the Heki Army. He is one of the central military commanders for the Ei Sei Faction alongside his lord, Shou Bun Kun, and Ri Shin, his sworn brother/comrade. He pursues the goal of becoming a Great General to become the symbol of his majesty’s military might after realizing how powerless he was. Recently, he was rescued from being a slave in the city of Hango after getting captured by the Ri Boku Army during the Battle of Gian's aftermath.

Originally a vassal of Shou Bun Kun who served as the old soldier’s lieutenant in the Shou Bun Kun Army, Heki participated in the Ei Sei Faction’s endeavors against the Sei Kyou Faction’s rebellion. He would meet and befriend Shin and Ten as they became embroiled in a battle for the Qin throne.

As a military commander, Heki has participated in numerous campaigns throughout the Warring States of Zhongyuan, having begun his career from the rank of a 1000-Man Commander fighting under the famous and late Duke Hyou in the Battle at Dakan Plains against the Wei Military to defending the state of Qin against the combined forces of the Coalition Army, and ending the machinations of the Ryo Fui Faction,

While not domineering like his peers, Heki is a competent military officer armed with years of experience, having directly played a small but large role in the Battle at Dakan Plains, assisted General Mou Bu in the Battle of Kankoku Pass, and was assigned the role of a commander in the Battle of Sai where he defended the city from the invading Ri Boku Army.

Appearance

Heki has long dark hair, a long goatee, and a mustache, He wears the armor of a military commander along with a cape. On some occasions, he is seen wearing a helmet with spikes on the sides.

Personality

After stopping the Sei Kyou's Rebellion, Heki felt the pain of how powerless and weak he was. Given the key factors Heki is a serious and forward-thinking man who possesses undying loyalty to Shou Bun Kun and his king, Ei Sei, and is capable of great courage even in the face of overwhelming odds and is greatly knowledgeable about history as he was the one to tell Shin and Ten about the story of Horse & Liquor Force.

He is very caring and looks out for both Shin and Ten as he thinks of them as younger siblings, having tried to convince Ten to live a safer life as a girl or looking out for Shin whenever they fight together on the battlefield, and also cares greatly about all of his soldiers.

But while courageous Heki is hesitant about most things whether off or on the battlefield as he sometimes shows nervousness or becomes easily anxious depending on the situation or in the face of the unexpected. He is also quite easy to read as he shows an open face with an honest demeanor which makes him easier to either tease or shock.

Goals

The victory to get the throne were due to Sei's initiative thinking and leadership, the mountain tribesmen's overwhelming strength, and Shin's fierce struggle. He and Shou Bun Kun considered themselves to be Sei's retainers and yet, they were completely useless. But they wonder how on earth they will be able to support Sei against the Ryo Fui Faction. And how they would be able to assist him when he sets out for China? After a long discussion, they came to a resolution, they had to climb to even greater heights, and obtain even greater power. Shou Bun Kun would climb to the top of the bureaucracy and become a chancellor. While Heki would aim for the pinnacle of the military and become a Great General.

Hard Worker

Heki is a reliable military commander who has mastered all fundamentals of warfare. Ka Ryo Ten praised him for being an officer with true achievements under his belt. His talents are good enough for him to be appointed Commander-in-Chief of the 40,000 Subjugation Army and push back 70,000 rebel soldiers in open battle.

Physical Abilities

Glaive Mastery: Heki is capable with a glaive in his hand. He was able to break through enemy lines and his martial abilities were good enough to break through Rozo's guards. Together with Danto, Heki was able to surprise and slay the powerful savage king with a single strike.

Competent Swordsman: Heki is a proficient swordsman trained in the Qin Military's standard swordsmanship of the soldier caste, though he is quite weak in terms of power and strength. He can fight off enemy soldiers and even managed to wound an opponent like Sa Ji twice before being cut down.

Leadership

Heki is a brave commander who can lead his forces from the front lines and has a knack for leading his soldiers in often decisive movements or in a timely fashion. His cavalry in particular has the distinction of reinforcing general maneuvers during pivotal moments and he was shown keeping the morale high even in times of crisis. With a head for strategy and decisive actions, Heki has shown himself to be a competent leader.

Tactical Abilities

Heki possesses a great understanding of tactical knowledge as he often fights battles with by-the-book tactics. During Battle at Dakan Plains, he was able to find the weakness in Go Kei's Pincer Attack and assist Duke Hyou in getting out of the trap by providing psychological pressure with his cavalry unit.

By the time of the Sanyou Campaign, his military knowledge expanded as he successfully utilized the location of a Wei Di and was impressive enough for Ou Sen to use him as convincing bait. It should be noted that this was due to him performing better than all the other minor commanders in the area and successfully using the terrain to his advantage.

During the Siege of Tonryuu, he was able to defeat and slay the traitor General Ryuu by predicting his actions and setting up an ambush.

Military Formations: Heki is capable of using formations centered around "by the books" tactics. During the Battle at Dakan Plains he formed his cavalry into Wedge Formation to perform a support attack on Wei forces. During the Battle of Ryouyou, he embedded archers into shield troop units to draw the Quanrong inside his lines and cut them down. This "defend and repair" tactic is not flashy but was proven to be very effective against direct cavalry charges. Heki's army is well-trained and capable of executing these two orders faster and smoother than any other Qin army.

Trivia

• Yasuhisa Hara initially based Heki's character upon a Subjugation Force commander who had a wall-related death during Sei Kyou's rebellion. However, as it was later discovered, the author misread the Shiji, the Chinese history book, and mistook the word "Wall" (read as "Heki" in Japanese) for the name of the person. Therefore, Heki didn't have to be "killed" off as Hara originally planned at the beginning of the manga.
• Heki learned the mountain tribesmen's language as he was able to speak it fluently.
