"Get outta here, I'll handle with this Kagu-tsuchi!"

- Týr to September Storybook and the survivors.

The Crooked Man (ひねくれた人), officially identified as a Kagu-tsuchi, was entity encountered by Týr 300 years after the Dragon Kin Festival. A figure wearing a tunic outfit often was the origin source of disappearing individuals across Fiore and other kingdoms. Investigated by the Eurasian demigod lead to him locating the Crooked Man and entering into a Crooked Man vs. Týr identifying it as a God of Creation from the Book of Eibon. The conflict raged across eastern Fiore in the abandoned mining village of Concordia which he was forced to either kill or contain captured individuals under the control of the Crooked Man.

Concordian Legend
According to local Concordian legend, the Crooked Man was once a individual who was a normal man, born with strange markings. As he grew over the years, he became more aggressive towards anything living, becoming hostile to anything that comes his path. One day walking, he was met with a female human who she identified as "Hashiyaku". This was when he was 12 years old, to which Hashiyaku told him a story of a tall woman, who would often taken children to perform "adult acts" and was never seen again. Hashiyaku then noticed the boy's tatoos and informed him of its signifiance, a Devil Slayer tatoo. The boy told the woman he was born with, to which Hashiyaku acknowledged and told him she can make him stronger, and control the magic if he came with her. The boy agreed and he would walk with her out of Concordia.

Arrivaing at a abandoned house did Hashiyaku performed underage acts on the boy, all the while she began to reveal as an demonic entity whose origins remains unknown. After the act, Hashiyaku had the boy use his magic, slowly transforming him into an Kagu-tsuchi after killing and devouring the souls of Concordia's citizens, revealing his Devil Slayer Magic revolving around the consumption of. Becoming a fiery being, Hashiyaku taught him advanced form of Transformation Magic and soon became a entity in a suit without a face, which Hashiyaku doomed him into hunting any man, woman or child for eternity, eating and devouring them to replenish its strength and gain more power. Ever since then, he had been referred as the "Crooked Man".
