Arata Hikari
Also known as The usurper.
Satomi's younger brother, who seized the throne of Hikari, hired assassins against his own sister, and died at the Battle of a Thousand Shadows.
“Father was weak! After decades of victorious campaigns, he grew soft!”
History
Twenty-three years old, of average height and build, with short brown hair, gleaming plate armour and a pristine katana. He trained under Takane Raijin and could call on the peerless speed of the Raijin style.
He built influence before his father's death with the backing of nobles who held it unfit for a woman to rule, and declared himself king within days of the funeral. He intended to purge those same nobles once the war was won.
