Biography
Ping joined the famous Orcus Workshop that was run by Topp Karg D. Orcus. He was only accepted due to him being from a noble family. While working as a craftsman, Ping and his friends Torpa Parson and Raul Streya would bully another young craftsman named Oscar, as well as unload their jobs on to him. One day Ping and his friend making fun of Oscar while demanded that he do a good job on one of he orders he was suppose to do before he handed it off to Oscar. He even remarked about how alentless he thought Oscar was and argued that he was only hired due to their body Karg becoming senile. It was then that Karg interjected after having returned from visiting the kingdom's palace, which immediately caused Ping to squeal in surprise. Karg asked why Oscar was doing work that was originally assigned to Ping, to which Ping claimed that he merely had Oscar help him, but still did most of it himself. An unconvinced Karg then praised the craftsmanship Oscar had done and ordered Ping to focus on his own work and be able to reach the same level of skill. A nervous Ping promised to do so and hastily retreated back to his own work station with his two friends.

The next day, when a young girl named Miledi arrived at Oscar's workshop to visit him, Ping attempted to get her attention due to his belief that she was from a noble family. Miledi, however, was unimpressed with his flattery and expressed her interest in seeing Oscar, much to Ping's shock. After She found Oscar (who was hiding from her), Ping tried to get Miledi to focus on him instead by claiming that Oscar was a worthless craftsman, but she remained uninterested in him and instead asked why he wasn't focused on his own work. As Oscar left the workshop for his deliveries while having Miledi accompany him, Ping was utterly embarrassed an infuriated from how he was treated.

When the Holy Church began abducting children throughout the kingdom's slums, Ping and his friends assisted them by scouting out different areas at night. Ping was responsible for kidnapping the children from Oscar's old orphanage as a way to get to Oscar. When Oscar went to rescue the children, Ping secretly saw him defeat many of the church's templar knights with an array of powerful Artifacts and went to warn Bishop Forneus Abyssion before he could be spotted. After discovering that Ping and his friends were involved, Oscar blamed himself for previously acting vulnerable and have his family members kidnapped as a result. He attacked the remaining members of the church with his arsenal of Artifacts. Ping and this friends attempted to escape during the fight, but were stopped by Oscar's chain Artifacts. After Oscar, and later Miledi Reisen, defeated the members of the church, Ping and his friends were captured and tied up. While the two of them were distracted, Ping managed to free himself by using a hidden knife that was under his sleeve. He then attempted to kill Oscar, but was suddenly killed when a giant ball of fire struck him that came from a dragon that was guarding the Artifact the church was using on the kidnapped children.
