Profile[]
Is that all you have got? You fail to entertain me! The exorcist of Adventurer's Guild TEMPUS. Dual wielding spears, he is the latest of a long line of exorcists who have defended Xenokuni from the evils of the world.
He fights not only out of a sense of duty, but also because he feels a special kind of excitement when on the frontlines. Unfortunately, his right hand is being eroded by the scourge of Records Corruption. Has inherited Karasutengu data, and thus possesses otherworldly leaping ability and endurance.
Joined TEMPUS after the battle in Xenokuni.
