Past
An onmyoji hailed as a prodigy since childhood. During a certain ritual, he learned the true nature of the gods. "The gods are not saving humanity—they are ruling over it." Despairing at this truth, he began searching for a way to strike down the gods.
⸻
Betrayal
The lord he served held absolute faith in the gods. Hideo tried many times to convey the truth, but it was never accepted. He then learned that his lord himself intended to offer his life as a vessel for a god. After deep anguish, Hideo made the decision to strike down his lord.

Elusive and difficult to pin down. Cynical, yet deeply compassionate at heart. Does not trust humans easily, but once he acknowledges someone, he stays by their side to the very end. Having lived a long life, he possesses a detached perspective, yet the memories of the comrades he has lost still linger in his heart.
⸻
One of the few spirits who remembers the time when the gods began to rule the world. He lost many of his fellow spirits in the war against the gods.
Realizing that revenge alone changes nothing, he came to wish for "a world where humans and spirits can live together."
