-Had his captured sister lorded over him to keep him in check
-First actual assignment was the Execution of Arketh Delmourn. Unmitigated disaster, lost his arm in the process vowed revenge
-Arm replaced with a specially designed prosthetic created by Malthior (See Arsenal below)

Relationship with Salan:
Complicated to say the least. He recognizes the friendship he and Salan once shared and their shared dream, but can't reconcile Salan's methodology in working with someone like Arketh and his own ideology. He'd grudgingly work with the resistance out of nostalgia, but overall works for his own goals.

Affinity:

Quanta: An understanding of matter at it's absolute smallest possible expression.

Abilities:

Precognition: Knowing what will occur in the future. Naturally, Manco knows what will happen a few seconds in a future. With effort, he can know what can happen as much as a week in advance, though this level of use is very draining. Comes from understanding and processing how particles are moving.

Telekinesis: Moving objects with his mind. Able to control multiple small objects at once, though has very little control over even 1 large one. Usually makes use of this to control small blades or other weapons. Manipulates the way particles move.

Empathy (Locked): Understanding someone else implicitly without any words needing to be spoken. An advanced form of his affinity that he has not yet unlocked.

Names:

Yamato Tsukino (Birth Name)
Manco (Moniker)
Sanjuro Kuwabata (Alias)

Golden Wind:
Labeled a terrorist organization by the Babel Government, Golden Wind is composed entirely of Supernaturals who have proven themselves and been offered a place in the Organization.

The Golden Wind has worked its hands carefully into most of the profitable criminal activities of Babel. They make their money primarily by having a hands in these businesses, using an "odd jobs" business as a front for their criminal operations.

Their are basically two businesses that they won't get their hands in and Manco will bring hell over if he finds out a member is involved in. Human Trafficking and Drug Dealing. Aside from these two, how they make money is fair game. Interestingly, they'll help the few supernaturals in the city get to Avalon and the protection of the resistance, for a fee of course.

Since its creation, the Golden Wind had quickly become a big name in Babel, heroes to some, villains to others. Some citizens opposed to Babel's government cheer on their subversive activities that often in some way damage the government or make it look bad. More comfortable citizens decry their illegal actions.

A young vampire of Demien Darkthorne's lineage, Meera was tricked by Gregor Darkthorne into acting as a spy for the inquisitors within the Golden Wind. While Gregor Darkthorne does not need nor care for her service, leading her to believe otherwise is an amusing past time for him.

Meera's assigned task is to warn the Inquisitors of the Golden Wind's various operations. In spite of this, she rarely gives them any valuable information. Meera is a terrible spy. She is incredibly clumsy and lacks any skill for discretion. Most importantly, Meera has become incredibly fond of everyone in the Golden Wind and thinks of them as more of a family than the Darkthornes ever were. Because of this, she is absolutely terrified of the possibility that her new found family will "discover" her position as a spy and come to despise her. It is a fear that tugs at her nerves almost constantly causing her already clumsy nature to spiral into hopelessness. In spite of these fears, she continues to feed the Darkthornes small tidbits of truthful yet completely useless information in an attempt to fool them into thinking the Golden Wind is more or less inactive.

Of course, they have long since discredited the value of any information she provides them, but again she is unaware of this.

Meera posses incredible physical strength, well beyond the average of even her pure blooded Darkthorne lineage. This combined with her small stature and constant worrying for everything and everyone around her has culminated in her terminally clumsy nature. The inquisitors often joke that the amount of furniture and tableware she constantly breaks is a far better method to limit the Golden Wind's treasury than anything they could have imagined. Nevertheless, she is earnest and hard working and constantly trying (and failing) to make up for her shortcomings.

In a combat scenario, Meera can utilize nearly anything in the environment as a weapon due to her monstrous strength, but her preferred weapon is an enormous runic claymore. The blade is easily three times her size and weighs well over several tons. The runes serve only to maintain it's structural integrity and to prevent it from collapsing under the stress of its own mass. She often has to spend quite some time searching for it in her mess of a room before actually managing to find it.
