Saburo

Saburo is widely known as one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, demon through all of the kingdom of Pergrande. This devil is widely regarded with dread and fear, and yet, he is seen as something of a savior. The demons of the nether are all bound by a form of hierarchy, one which places a distinct focus on power and cunning. As one of the most supreme devils in the hierarchy, Saburo carries both the power and authority to command lesser demons to bend to their whim, next to forcing them to do whatever it so desires. In centuries past, Saburo lived in an age of unease and zealotry. An age in which demons were actively hunted and slain. Even the likes of Saburo could not stand up to those who wished to see it dead. The Demon Slayers were relentless, hunting it across nation to nation. They killed hundreds of them and they killed thousands of its kin. Eventually they had chased it all the way to the kingdom of Pergrande. With nowhere else to run, realizing that his fate was all but sealed should it dare to enter conflict with the hunters and the city, Saburo entered the city in a daring and revolting attempt to find safety. Entering the royal keep, Saburo made an offer to the king and queen of Pergrande: It would be granted safety and sanctuary in the keep, and in return, it would keep all demons away from Pergrandian soil. The royals accepted these terms as the devil infestation had grown far out of control in the land. Saburo was a devil of its word it would have seemed, as within hours of his sanctuary, reports of lack of tricks, hauntings, possessions and killings flooded in throughout the land. The demon had kept his word, and now it was their turn.

For centuries has Saburo maintained order of the demonic hordes through the land, being showered with praises and offerings for its service. However, Saburo has started to grow irate with this complacent lifestyle. The Pergrandians were no longer needed, the order of devil hunters are long since laid low, and it is now more than confident that it has what it took to stand up to modern days Devil Slayers. So why should they continue to offer service to a kingdom which, in truth, can't offer it anything which it can not take for itself? The answer was simple. It shouldn't. These days Saburo serves as a sleeper agent for Gigantomachy, granting them information from within Pergrande's own castle walls. It will continue to play faithful subject for now, but the time for revolution draws ever closer, and Saburo intends to be at the front when that happens.
