Combat/Past: Skilled in techniques that drive opponents to a near-death state, such as sending out living spirits along with bloodlust to rob the opponent's vision. Twenty years ago, he slaughtered all substitutes except Nankoubou in an instant and destroyed Nankoubou's left arm. He carved a curse into Nankoubou's soul that causes the left arm to rot off no matter how many times it is transplanted.

Philosophy: "How long can I keep them alive on the brink of death while continuing to make them suffer? That is the true essence of a curse."
