Wang is an NPC in Arknights. He is an antagonist in Invitation to Wine, Here A People Sows, and Such is the Joy of Our Reunion.
Background[edit]
Wang is the second of the Sui "siblings", known for his deep, sheer hatred towards everything and everyone, including himself.[2] He wields the power of knowledge - which allows him to slowly learn everything to a point of forgery, such as mimicking the calligraphic power of his sister Jie. So far, Wang is the only known evil sibling who works together with the imperial government of Yan, specifically the Ministry of Rites, to revive "his father". He also learned how to play go/weiqi, a game which rules, while simple, are similar to the art of war. This allowed him to understand that even if things on the land are chaotic in nature, as long as he makes the rules, he will always figure out the final outcome, that being the inevitable end for him and his siblings.[3]
Wang has been acquainted with the current Grand Tutor of Yan for a long time. By the time the old Lung took his position, he declared a challenge with Wang to set him free through a match of go; if Wang is defeated, he must willingly imprison himself for a period of jiazi (甲子), or sixty years. In the beginning, Wang frequently lost the match to the Grand Tutor. After hundreds of years of practices and mimicry, Wang finally achieved his first victory in the most recent sixty years and was set free as promised by the Grand Tutor.
However, his unfettered freedom was marked with several disasters caused by him. Specifically, a mysterious conflict involving Wang escaping from his confinement in Baizao a century ago, aided by the Grand Commandant. The incident led to the "death" of his third sister Jie, whom he trusted a lot, which led to him to distrust humans forever.[4][5] The tragedy forced the Grand Tutor to have another round of chess match with Wang and imprison him again after the former's victory. Little did he know however, that the brother quietly fragmented himself into 181 black go stones and scattered himself across Yan, which he declared to use them "to set up a game across the entire land."[6] His ultimate goal is to kill and replace Sui, so that he could use His powers to "benefit" thousands of living creatures on Terra. Even if the plan itself implies sacrificing his own life, Wang is nevertheless willing to pay the price for the sake of his siblings' freedom.[3]
Since then, Wang's fragments remain hidden across Yan. Some of them are noted to be merged with numerous relics such as the black goblet that would later represent Sui's avatar. Recently, he even used his goblet to have a match with the famed chess master Xiang Ru inside a shrine which resulted in the latter's death by heart failure.[7]

Trivia[edit]
- His name has additional meanings due to the character's symbolism with the moon; Wangri (望日) refers to the fifteenth day in the Chinese calendar, the day of the full moon, and when it combines with shuo (Chongyue's former name), it becomes the shuowangyue (朔望月), or the synodic month.
