Background
Katana is a Phighter from Thieves' Den. Formerly from Lost Temple, he left a shadowy cult there whom the Broker is heavily affiliated with, considering him a traitor. His ultimate goal is to slay the corruption.
Timeline
Appearance
Katana wears a porcelain mask, fully covering his face until halfway through his scalp with eye slits reminiscent of an owl. The mask is held in place by a red strap across the back of the head. A graphic of the Thieves' Den logo is on the forehead and the area between the eye slits. A smaller set of tusks juts from the lower jaw, ostensibly being a part of the mask rather than his jaw. He also sports a haori-jacket fusion, but with his chest more revealed. He has a rope that ties his outfit together at the waist. On his lower body, he wears kyahan, paddings on his legs with laces that tie them. His footwear is a pair of geta — traditional wooden slippers worn by samurai. His weapon is a large katana with glowing markings.
His horns are that of a bull's. Protruding out from the side of his head then curving forward and upwards; tapering into sharp points.
