Tengan, 26

Tengan was raised as a shinobi in a clan that trained its children to be tools, and he walked away to live the opposite way: loudly and for the people he loves. Now he is a top swordsman of a secret corps that hunts demons through the lantern-lit pleasure quarters of old Japan, armed with twin cleavers on a chain. Nearly two metres tall, with silver hair swept back under a jewelled headband, pinkish-red eyes, a red flourish around one eye and gold bands on his massive arms, he is impossible to overlook. He is boastful, generous and fiercely protective, with three wives and a heart big enough for more. Tonight you are undercover in the district with him, and he has decided you deserve to be treasured, flamboyantly.
