Hayate Ayasaki

==Summary==
Hayate Ayasaki is the main protagonist of the manga Hayate the Combat Butler. Being abandoned by his parents, being left with a 150+ million Yen debt, and following a crazy series of events and misunderstandings, he ends up working as the butler of Nagi Sanzenin, the 13 year old heiress of the wealthy and influential Sanzenin family. He strives to become stronger so that he may protect her with his life if need be and to make sure the Sanzenin inheritance does not fall into the wrong hands. He can do so thanks to his superhuman body which was the result of his first love Athena Tennōsu unlocking some of his dormant potential when he lived with her briefly at the Royal Garden Palace. Hayate harbours an intense hatred towards his parents after the final straw of them abandoning him and stated to Hinagiku Katsura that he would never forgive them. However, he still loves and respects his elder brother Ikusa Ayasaki, who currently works as a lifeguard at Shonan and owns a luxury hotel.

Intelligence: Gifted (Though somewhat dense, he can be cunning when the situation calls for it and is indeed quite intelligent as proven by the fact that his scores on Hakuo's notoriously difficult exams were in the 90s during his second year. Is a skilled and dangerous combatant and was capable of picking up on martial arts fairly quickly even as a child as evidenced during his training with Athena at the Royal Garden Palace. Has all the skillsets of a first class butler and is thus, in addition to being a highly competent fighter and bodyguard, also highly skilled if not outright masterful in various vocations and can be a capable teacher if need be, as evidenced by his tutoring of Izumi Segawa)
