Band of Seven

The Band of Seven was a ruthless mercenery group a decade (10 years) ago. They were hired hands by castle lords to maintain the advance team. They were eventually slain and beheaded by the lords of the castle due to their outstanding power.

Members (in order of rank)

 * Bankotsu - Bankotsu is the leader, and the youngest of the Band, regardless of his being referred to as "big brother". He weilds a demon sword known as Banryu. It is unknown whether someone, or he himself forged Banryu, but he is extremely powerful as both a human, and a spector, as to not even be effected by Banry's immense demonic powers.


 * Renkotsu - Renkotsu is second-in rank in the Band, and one of the younger members (regardless of his appearance). He is experienced in gunpowder, and other weaponry, such as mechanics, and artillary use. He is arguably the smartest and most decieving of the group, thus his broken trust with Bankotsu.


 * Jakotsu - Jakotsu is third in command (Bankotsu's left-hand man), and weilds the Sword of Jakotsu. He is openly homosexual, and should not be confused for being a woman despite his feminine appearance.


 * Suikotsu - Suikotsu has two personalities; a do-good doctor, and a ruthless beast. The do good doctor is what is first portrayed in the series, due to his heart being purified by the sacred energy of Mount Hakurei.


 * Mukotsu - Mukotsu is experienced in the use of poisons, and the oldest member of the group.
