Zhuru Kaichen

"And now to purify the world of you, and your kind" - Zhuru, to the Purifier.
Zhuru Kaichen, formerly Zhuru Oshamura, and also known as the Monolith, is a fanatical vigilante active in Erradan. He encountered Cross and the Dragonknight, when they rescued him from Witch Hunters. Zhuru is a Shavhani monk, wielding powerful Earth Magic.
=== Background ===
Originally born on the streets of Vanh-Gu-Shei, in the Three Dynasties of Shavhan, Zhuru had a troubled childhood, and experienced the dark criminal underworld of that city first-hand. Later in childhood, he was rescued from the streets by a visiting monk, who took pity on him, and took him back to the Oshamura monastery in the Xang'Jui Vale.
At the monastery, Zhuru was taught in the ways of the spiritual monks, and also in martial arts and Earth magic. When he grew to adulthood, Zhuru grew tired of the passivity of the monks, and struck out on his own. He returned to Vanh-Gu-Shei, and took his revenge upon the criminal gangs that he'd known as a child. Dozens of criminals were found crushed under rocks, or encased in stone. For taking the law into his own hands and betraying the ways of the monks, Zhuru was exiled from the three dynasties and given the name "Kaichen", which means "Dishonoured".
No longer welcome in his own country, Zhuru booked passage on an Erdannian trade ship, which took him to Erradan.
In Erradan, Zhuru discovered an even more dark criminal underworld, and quickly set about trying to put things right. The constabulary and the gangs both pursued him, for his actions of radical vigilante justice. Since his real name wasn't known, he became known as "Monolith", for the large stone pillars left behind at the scenes of his crimes.
=== Encounter with the Witch Hunters ===
The police and the gangs couldn't catch Monolith, but the Witch Hunters managed it. Proclaiming him to be a mysterious foreigner with dangerous magic, they sent the Purifier to hunt him down. The trap was laid, and when Zhuru arrived, the Witch Hunters used Aurichalcum weapons to disable his magic, then blindfolded and gagged him, bound his hands, and just as an extra measure, stuck him in a wooden barrel. He was then taken to the Witch Hunter ship, a wooden sailboat moored in the Westwyrm river, and kept in a wooden cage. Luckily for him, shortly afterwards, the Dragonknight and Cross arrived to rescue him.
Together the group hunted down the Purifier. They defeated her, but when Zhuru was about to kill her, the Dragonknight intervened and argued against it. Zhuru used his magic to get him out of the way, then killed all the witch hunters in the tower. The group separated after this.
