History

Born to a noble family at one point he was a savvy, determined, polite and perhaps a little too facetious. But what'd you expect from somebody with his position? He was born in an upper-class family in a developed capital of Mana. He lived free of worries until he was about 20 years old, but at that point, things began to change. He was once a noble to a great family to marry a beautiful woman until a group of cultists kidnapped the bride-to-be and killed her. Instead of calling the Rune Guards, he instead took it upon himself to track down them and brutally beat them to death.

After that, he had his first taste of murdering and enjoyed the feelings of it yet at the same time felt sad about his former bride. As a result, later on, he began training and using his power to keep out the large full-scale war between humans and demons since a man of his caliber had no need for such distractions. Using his power and influence he manages to begin to be the head of the trade within the capital city using his knowledge to be able to drive the funds of the army of light to victory after victory.

However the taste of power wasn't enough after hearing of pirates stealing his equipment to sell it, he instead began to dive deeper and deeper into his insanity killing them with his bare fists as well as beginning a private army of his own to protect his equipment. He then began to enjoy combat more as he goes around Mana joining multiple strongman contests for non-magic users to fight as well, that the same token he also fought magic users over the years trying to hone his skill until he could find no equal, this changed after an altercation with the Emperor Masahiro during a brief argument.

Through defeated the two began to become great friends with each other however the loss in his mind burned into his mind for years to come up to near the climax of the 500-year war for the exchange for ultimate power and martial arts training by a Blond Figure, he started to be more driven to combat this came at the cost as he willingly sold out his entire empire and family by having the Emperor fall for an ambush during the climax of the battle.
