Hayabusa

Hayabusa, the Crimson Shadow, is an assassin who plays in the Jungle.

Also known as Crimson Shadow

Lore

The young leader of the Shadow Sect who wields his blade through moonless nights, walking the path of nindo without fear. As the second heir to the Shadow Sect of the Scarlet Shadow, Hayabusa had always looked up to his brother, a figure who he saw as the moon itself. To preserve the delicate balance of power between the Shadow and Scarlet Sects, Hayabusa willingly took his brother's place to be a political pawn and hostage, to be raised within the rival Scarlet Sect. Every day spent in the Scarlet Sect, Hayabusa lived by his brother's principles. He mastered his unique Shadow Shuriken technique and forged an unbreakable bond with Hanabi, a kunoichi of the Scarlet Sect. But when Hanzo's betrayal and his brother's disappearance shattered their hopes for peace, Hayabusa realized that the moonlight that had always guided him was gone. Yet, het gripped his blade firmly, determined to forge ahead through the shadows, following his brother's nindo.
