Zoo Harim is a talented swordsman currently working for Lord Soun Suk Myeong (Lady Syo-Ru's father). He is one of the main protagonists in the manhwa.

Zoo Harim was the 5th child out of 6 and was sold by his mother like livestock. He ran away from the place he was sent to work. When he was a child he nearly died from the cold. Lady Syo-Ru however, saved his life by throwing her coat over his body as he lay shivering from the cold. Grateful, he followed her back to her manor and begged to work there. He dislikes snow (probably from his near death experience). 'Winter is...beautiful to the rich, but it is extremely harsh season to the poor.'

Zoo Harim is first introduced to us when Myo-Un saves him from the snow (just like Lady Syo-Ru). She brings him back to the temple where Ryu-Sang yells at her, telling her 'brining in a corpse in morning is bad luck!'. In the end, Harim stays for a little while, eating like no tomorrow until Ryu-Sang kicks him out.

He returns to the temple, demanding to see Lady Seong Howori (the orphan's Sabu-Nim - teacher in Korean) and explains the reason why he was sent to the temple. He was sent to assassinate the last child of the Hong family, a powerful family that eventually was all killed except for the heir. Seong Howori allows him to stay in the temple for 5 days to see which one is the child. Harim introduces himself as 'Mr. Noname'.

After the 5 days, he attacks the village along with the reinforcement that arrived. He also supposedly kills Lady Seong Howori (this is not confirmed yet but most likely is =/) and brings her head to Lord Soun Suk Myeong.

As the plot progresses, it is soon revealed that Harim is also Hanah, an aqquiatance of Ryu-Sang and Myo-Un from the past. The group not realise it at first, for when Harim poses as Hanah he is disguised as a girl and they do not know what he looks like in his true form. It seems that Hanah was one of Lady Syo-Ru's maids, probably her favourite, that was killed. The reason why Harim pretends to be Hanah is unknown (maybe he just likes female clothing? :) I'm not judging, lol).
