Eldest Brother

s he a beast or a man? More of some or less of the other? No one knows, not even he knows. What is known is that his loyalty to Shiho Hiroto is unquestionable. Eldest Brother would walk through the fires of the 10,000 Hells for him. His word is his bond, and his bond is everything. Being left behind after a Savage Wave raid, Eldest Brother now strides two wholly incompatible worlds, doing the best that he can with what he has. Hiroto saved him from the very worst of humankind’s behaviour, and they have been together ever since. Eldest Brother might not look like it but under that otherworldly exterior beats the heart of a poet warrior in the most classical sense. He can be both killer and philosopher in the same breath.

Eldest Brother is a brute in combat, tempering his rage with the teachings from his time in the Temple. Here, he learned the KATA trait that makes him extremely reliable in the thick of things. The CHANOYU Ki feat is almost a metaphor for Eldest Brother’s existence, as it allows him to curb the very worst excesses of his supposed inherent behaviour while protecting himself from those who would harm him.
