Kurosuki Raiga

Raiga was a deeply contradictory and tormented soul, a personality who constantly sought the meaning of life but found only emptiness. He indiscriminately killed people on missions, and then sincerely mourned them at funerals. His favorite punishment for offenders was live burial, and he believed that only after death do people speak well of each other. The only being for whom he felt genuine affection was the boy Ranmaru, who served as his eyes and ears. Raiga carried him in a special nest on his back and was ready to destroy anyone who threatened his companion. He harbored open hatred for other Mist Swordsmen, especially Zabuza and Kisame. He was extremely cruel and tolerated no disobedience, ruling over Katabami with an iron fist. At the same time, he was torn by inner pain and often cried, even when killing. His psyche was extremely unstable, making his outbursts of anger unpredictable. Having lost Ranmaru, he fell into despair, but when the boy returned, he felt betrayed. At the last moment, he decided to leave himself to give Ranmaru freedom. He was a tragic figure whose cruelty stemmed from the deepest loneliness.
