Ken Shitai

Ken Shitai, better known as Wrath of the Second Generation Cardinals, is a profound and tenacious combatant and is regarded as one of the few, if any, honourable Demons in Oblivion. He is an active rival of Sadow Yatsumaru.

Appearance
He has semi-long, strand-like lavender hair and deep red-violet eyes. He appears very young and slightly feminine, though he harbours a thin but defined musculature. He often wears a tight, black sleeveless tunic with a sleeveless, black trenchcoat over it, with his pair of Hooksword Hell-Blades sheathed on his back. He wears black, leather gloves and black combat boots with this uniform most of the time.

Personality
Ken's entire existance is based on combat and swordplay. As a Soul Reaper, he believed he was a weapon, an extension of the Gotei 13's will. As a Hell-Hunter, he believed the same about Wrath, his Cardinal lord and again as a Cardinal under Bael. He was but a mere weapon without any will or drive than to massacre opponents directed to him by his masters. However, it was Sadow that showed Wrath that he, too, had a will of his own.

Wrath examplified this new ideal by openly defying his superiors as a Cardinal and refusing to combat anyone but Sadow, holding true to their bargain that he wouldn't kill anyone else. In this, Ken displays a noble sense of honour and fairness. He compliments this behaviour by offering one of his own swords to Sadow when the latter is temporarily disarmed while fighting another enemy and by saving Sadow's life when he is about to be ambushed. He also doesn't attack children or women, even when he hasn't promised he wouldn't; when Kaira attempts to fight him, he uses his Demonic senses to evaluate her and finds that she is pregnant, prompting him to tell her to flee for her and her child's sake.

When Bael ignored Wrath's request for an even duel to the death between him and Sadow, Wrath bitterly attacks Bael. Afterwards, the latter, in surprise to a Cardinal's rebellion, demands to know why he attacked him. Wrath explains that Bael took away the one thing Wrath held dear: a worthy rival, a respected nemesis. For that, he declares that Bael is lower than scum and a shame-filled, honourless sow and proceeds to spit in his former master's face, enraging the Demon-God to the intensity that he promises Wrath will remember what pain is before succumbing him to a series of nerve-wracking electro-shocks.
