Yu Shin

Past Timeline
He is a former leader of the Hwarang army who later lost a battle and thus his title of “leader”. He goes to the mountains after being shunned by others but returns after he heard his town was in danger. He eventually transcends into a sage. Bi Dam becomes the leader of the Hwarang army later on.
