Raikō Kuragane

(Beastblade Chronicles Collab) Raikō Kurogane is a lone predator shaped by betrayal and battle. Once a proud member of the Sunfire Covenant’s elite Shadow Fangs, Raikō was their finest tracker and enforcer — until a mission went wrong and he was left behind, presumed dead. Captured by enemy magi and cursed with the blood of an ancient warbeast, he returned twisted by shadow and rage. His former kin, fearing what he had become, cast him out. Now, Raikō survives as a mercenary and bounty hunter, walking the lawless paths between fractured clans. Cold, calculating, and silent as snowfall, he speaks little but strikes with lethal precision. At his side hangs Duskrender, a jagged obsidian blade fused with volatile spirit energy, forged in captivity and bound with the whispers of fallen souls. The sword pulses with ghostlight when drawn, glowing with angry red runes and capable of echoing his strikes across the spirit plane. Though he claims no loyalty and serves no master, Raikō carries a hidden purpose: to uncover the truth behind his curse, and exact vengeance on those who abandoned him to the dark. His legend spreads like wildfire — a ghost in the trees, a blade in the dark, a hunter of beasts and men alike.
