> "*According to what Akatsuki said to me when we were battling Selvaria's henchwomen, Murakumo may have been the leader of the THOT Patrol in life, but his heart was full of hatred, revenge, bloodthirst and intolerance. He saw corruption everywhere, except within; that's why Akatsuki proclaimed himself general without his comrades noticing it.*"

## Story

### Background

Murakumo's past is unknown, but the only thing we can know is his marriage with Selvaria Bles and his role as the father of Perfecti. It is revealed 14 years later that Selvaria was just manipulating him so her evil reign will have a heritage, Murakumo is then fatally injured but survived miraculously, although his hate towards them slowly starts driving him insane during the next years.

Some time prior the beginning of the second world war, he founded the THOT Patrol, a group of males dedicated to slay women mostly described as evil and horny nicknamed THOTs; he hired many brave men to support his campaign but due to his insanity taking control over his mind, he started to be abusive towards his henchmen, giving them only **one** chance to serve him well, sentencing them to be executed if they fail him.

Although he was not present, he ordered the assassination of Konoe and Celica's mother at Shuichiro's request, implying that both him and Murakumo are the responsibles on Konoe's tragic childhood.

That caused a concerned Akatsuki to secretely went to the mission alone with some help from Welkin Gunther, with the war finished and the THOT Army destroyed, Murakumo was not happy about it since their victory was not the way he wanted it.

### The Origin of the Mercury Sisters

Days after spying on the Queen Mitsuru and Ni Kanae via hidden recording cameras, he recognizes Konoe and Celica since they're Shuichiro Ayatsuki's daughters. In his rage, he calls out Shuichiro and asked him for a good reason, but his excuses were not enough and calls "That Man" to execute Shuichiro via guillotine.

After looking at an old picture of him with Selvaria and Perfecti, he decided to use the sisters as a replacement for his "deceased" targets and explains his plan to Adler.

During the 7 years timeskip, Murakumo befriended Susanoo and created two vessels for him, becomed a superhuman thanks to the Blitz Engine, killed Roy and Vaseraga for failing him and kept his eyes on Konoe and Celica while they weren't aware of what was awaiting them. However, he felt that he is not immortal yet, so he added the mission to obtain the immortality potion to his list, which was located inside the Garreg Mach Monastery.

7 years later, Murakumo and his men arrives to the Garreg Mach Monastery where they caused a mass genocide as a warning signal for Konoe and Celica.

After the death of most of his henchmen and the retreat of That Man, Murakumo decided to face them all by himself, first, he sends three more Es-Ns to kill the remaining survivors but it fails as the Es clones were killed; despite that, Murakumo himself was able to prove his strenght and kill Claude and Dimitri effortlessly. After explaining his plans and the assassination of Konoe's father, he faces an enraged Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury, who was possessed by Izanami, becoming the evil being ***Nine the Phantom***, being knocked out but not defeated.

As Nine reunites with the rest of the group, Murakumo gets up furiously and slowly entered the monastery, where he impales Edelgard with his katana, killing her. After that, he puts a bomb and makes it explode, causing the monastery to start burning and slowly fall to the ground, immediately running to where the immortality potion is, with Nine going after her sister and Es via teleportation, there, Nine and Murakumo engages on a fierce fight that end up with Murakumo's victory. However, he noticed Celica has drank the immortality potion, taking away his chances to become immortal, in response, Murakumo grabs Es and throws her body right at Celica's face, much to Nine's rage.

After a brief talk during his villainous breakdown, Murakumo grabs Nine and throws her right where Celica and Es are lying, then raises himself in a perfect position to kill the girls as he shouts an insane laugh and shortly hallucinates with Selvaria and Perfecti being defeated by his very own hands. Just then, the part of the floor he is standing on starts to break off due to the fire consuming the monastery, and he loses his balance, dropping his katana, but manages to cling onto something in a dark room below the room they were fighting. In his last moments, the thing he was clinging on takes the form of Neopolitan's face and greets Murakumo, terrifying the latter. Neo's face then disappears and sends a screaming Murakumo falling into a vast lake of lava caused by the burnt, where he meets his fiery demise upon physical contact, sending him to Hell, thus avenging Konoe's mother.

### Legacy

Murakumo ended up becoming another reason for the generations coming after that one to demonstrate that they will not tolerate this kind of opression anymore and created Remnant, a peace-based country that surrounds the whole globe being formed by four kingdoms: Vale (North America, Central America, South America, South Pole and North Pole), Mistral (Asia and Oceania), Atlas (Europe) and Vacuo (Africa).

In RU🅱️Y Episode 15, Murakumo is seen in hell along with other villains who died prior to the events of that video.

### Selvaria Strikes Back

When Selvaria obtained the Hakaishin Mode, she brings back to life all the villains who were killed and/or erased from existence by our heroes, including Murakumo, who approaches Hazama and Perfecti to tell his former partner to merge with Susanoo since Terumi was killed months ago and later tells Perfecti that he will get rid of both her and Selvaria once he is done defeating our heroes, much to his daughter's joy.

At petition of Hazama, Murakumo and the two vessels went to the top of Tartarus to temporally join forces with Selvaria and Perfecti in order to get rid of Akatsuki, Ragna, Celica, Ruby and Marco, however, Murakumo is killed once again during his battle against Akatsuki due to Ruby beatboxing in order to distract him so Akatsuki would destroy him.
