| - Billy Kong, formerly known as Jonah Lee, is a ruthless hitman from Malibu, though he considers Taipei to be his second home, and is of Chinese descent. He is infamous in underground circles, and is known for getting the job done, no matter what. He first appears in The Lost Colony as one of the two men escorting Minerva Paradizo in Madrid, holding a pair of crutches - which later turned out to be a modified dart rifle to capture N°1. In The Lost Colony, he is hired by the Paradizos to guard their estate during Minerva's experiment. He soon takes captive of Minerva and threatens her with her father and Juan Soto's lives, in his determination to kill all demons, as a result of a traumatic childhood memory, in which his older brother Eric was dating the girlfriend of a gang member, but lied to him, saying that his injuries was from fighting demons instead of the gang dispute. When Eric was finally killed, over the years Billy forced himself to believe that Eric had lied, resulting in his plummeting behavior. However, when Minerva successfully proved the existence of demons, Billy came to think that Eric had been right after all, and wanted revenge on the demons. He later made a deal with Artemis and traded Minerva for N°1 at the Taipei 101, with the intention of strapping a bomb onto №1 and sending him back to Hybras to explode and kill most of the demons. Though his plan unraveled utterly, with both №1 and Minerva escaping his clutches, he followed the group as they attempted to revive the circle of demon warlocks, and one of his men managed to hook the bomb on to Holly; both Minerva and Kong were mistaken that Holly, like №1, was a demon. Kong and all his men were later knocked out by Butler in the ensuing battle. After Artemis, Holly, N°1 and Qwan had left for Hybras, Butler recalled the information given by Foaly that Kong had been suspected of stabbing and killing a colleague earlier, and together with Minerva, under pseudonyms, turned him over to the investigating officers, saying Kong's men had called him "Jonah" and mentioned that he "haven't notched (his) barrels for a long time", which means he had not committed murder for a while. With his former name, the officers successfully retrieved Kong's criminal history. Kong is described as being wiry, slight and concerned with his looks, as he usually carries a mirror with him everywhere. He also has time for grooming, even when preparing for, or in the middle of, a kidnapping. Kong's black hair is usually in spikes and is highlighted.
