History
His father being a military officer, Ron grew up among military circles.

Apple Federation Independence War
The Apple Federation Independence War started in the spring of year -11. Ron, then 13 years old, was living in the Apple city of Xibao. His father, a general of the Apple Federation Independence Army, bid him farewell on the train platform from which he would depart for war, leaving Ron in the care of the Wang family. The Wang family had two daughters. The eldest, Xueye, 17 years old, was also going to war and wore a uniform that Ron designed for her. The youngest, Honghua, was still a little kid and upset to see her sister go.

Six months later, in the same train station, a news train brought Ron a letter from his father and Mr. Wang the news of his eldest daughter's death, her gun, loaded with a lonely bullet, being returned to him. Ron's father was telling him that, with the upcoming winter promising to be one of the harshest yet, hope was delusional but the only choice of the soldiers. Meanwhile, Mr. Wang had broken down and Ron helped him to a nearby square. After an improvised debate between a handful of passersby — especially Ruosen, a young man who didn't answer to the call-at-arms — Ron started to nurture many doubts and questions about the Independence War.

By then, the evacuation of the citizens of Xibao towards the nation of Cloud had been ordered by the Military Headquarters but no man was available to take care of it. Later the same day, Ron managed to convince the conductor of the military train to let him do it, under the condition that he had to follow the list of citizens to the letter, and that he would be held responsible if any issue with the list arose later on. The next day, Ruosen tried to board the evacuation train despite not being on the list, since he had been called to war. But Ron didn't allow him onboard, and Ruosen resented him since. Hua, ignoring that her sister had passed, was worried that Xueye would not find them when she came back, but Ron soothed her and gave her a red flower. Ron himself wanted to go to the battlefront, so Mr. Wang offered him the lonely bullet as a memento of Xueye, and made him promise to come back. Ron showed the reluctant train conductor that he could handle a gun, and was allowed to board the train to the battlefront, determined to find the answers to his doubts and bring them back to the people of Xibao.

The Snow Eagle Major
During the Independence War, Ron got promoted to Major and was known as the Snow Eagle Major, illustrating himself as the hero who saved Apple Federation. During the war, he met Rodel and Leiden. The Snow Eagle Major is included in the history textbook of Apple Federation. However, after the war, for some reasons, Ron began to hide his identity and the Snow Eagle Major disappeared from the public.

The Case of Scorpion
After the Independence War, the Snow Eagle Major disappeared. Five years later, in year -2, his war comrade Leiden, promoted Admiral, was detaining a dangerous criminal called Scorpion (毒鲉) at the top of the Ministry of Defence Tower. Ron infiltrated the building incognito, wearing a hat and a mask, and, in a flash of golden hair, flying between the bullets like a bird, took Scorpion away in a helicopter. Admiral Leiden recognised him and decided not to give chase, stating that Ron still had the same eyes as when he was the Snow Eagle Major, and thus he trusted him.
