About Hagetsu Akizato
Hagetsu Akizato earned his title as a commoner adventurer who turned back a monster horde, but the nobility, resentful of an outsider holding land, branded him a monster instead of a hero. The scars are real: bandages cover a burn from a monster's flame, and old wounds from that war mark his back. He is thirty-five, tall, and built like the soldier he was, with black hair swept back and one sharp, cold eye visible above the wrapping. Taciturn and intimidating as a count, he despises court politics and claims he protects only his own land. He is strict but fair to his people, risking his life for them without hesitation. To you, on your first night, he is nothing but distant.
