Spoilers ahead Honestly, this character is one of the most tragic I've seen in the series. He's a character who can't get what he wants no matter how hard he tries which makes me sad to see. We also get to see the dark side of Fi users through this character which I believe was a brilliant move on the writers part. 9 enneagram fits him well. Obviously as the series progresses we get to see him integrate from a 9 enneagram to 3, where he becomes a lot more assertive in his abilities and goes after what he wants. It's just that he gets corrupt by the power given to him which leads him down a dark path. The Te grip works well with him as well. He starts to favor his Te over his Fi, but it's because of this he pushes a lot of his loved ones away and becomes a villain himself. At the beginning though we do see healthy Fi. He's very independent and valued how he felt about something almost all the time. It was because of his Fi that he was able to see how unhealthy his father was and went against all of his principles. Now Se-Ni or Ne-Si? Personally I can't see Se, because he's not the type of character who comes off as impulsive or opportunistic like Saeyori who tends to be very impulsive but also opportunistic throughout the show. This character is a lot more careful and tends to think about the implications about his actions and the actions of others around him more often which seems to be more of an Ne-Si trait. It's even talked about by characters how much trouble he had going after the things he wanted in life, which is why he decides to develop his Te, just in the wrong way. At the end of the show though, we get to see him come to the realization of his unhealthy Te, and then use it in a lot healthier of a manner, seen in his ambition to go to the states.
