Aemon

**Aemon** (エイモン - Ai mon) is one of the Fathers of The Inquisitors, and a high ranking official in the Church of the Holy Compass Cross.

## Appearance

Aemon is an older man with white hair and a full white beard that is kept at medium length. He has a large, wrinkled forehead due to his receding hairline, but otherwise his hair is well groomed and maintained despite his age. Aemon is notably muscular for his age, with powerful arms and legs that come from years of training. He has a high amount of body hair, as can be noted from his arms and legs.

Aemon always wears the exact same clothes no matter the occasion, those being the black Priestly robes, slacks and boots that come customary to every member of the Inquisitors. Underneath, the Father sports a piece of body armour. Though he has been known to remove this body armour when not on duty.

## Personality

Aemon, true to his profession, is a deeply religious and spiritual man, approaching everything in life with the belief that a divine force is guiding him. He is deeply caring for all under his tutelage and protection, referring to the inquisitors that serve under him as his sons and brothers, and addressing Constance Bonnie as "Sister", even though she no longer belongs to the Church. Even in the dire situations that his Galleon was in when he encountered the New Dawn Pirates, Aemon insisted on providing accommodation for the crew, showing he is a man of charity.

Despite all of these kind acts, Aemon is also shown to be rather gruff and authoritative, especially towards his "sons", whom he is often shown chastising and barking orders at. He shows a particular disdain for rudeness.

## Abilities and Powers

### Swordsmanship

Aemon is a highly Swordsman, capable of leading a troop that specialises in the way of the Sword, and being regarded as the strongest amongst them. His skills were enough for him to fight Enrayus Vaanan on an even footing for a time, with the winged swordsman displaying a great amount of respect for Aemon even following the spar. Aemon commented several times that he was not as skilled as he used to be, suggesting that in his younger years he was an even more capable and dangerous swordsman.

### Hand to Hand Combat

For an as of yet unknown reason, Aemon is capable of utilising at least one of the Six powers, that being the art of Soru. He displayed this ability in his spar with Enrayus, during which he used it several times successively, suggesting he is well practiced with the technique.

Though it is not explicitly shown, it is also possible that he is able to use a form of Rankyaku, as he is shown to have deflected one of Enrayus' airblades down into the ground with just a kick.

### Physical Strength

Aemon is regarded as strong enough to obtain the rank of Father, and is also shown to clash on a relatively even level with Enrayus Vaanan. His strength is among the several physical attributes that Aemon claims has depleted since he has gotten older.

### Agility

Aemon is surprisingly nimble, capable of moving at far faster speeds than a regular man, even without the usage of Soru. He is also shown to have reflexed quick enough to deflect blows from a sword swing, even in the midst of a duel.

### Endurance

Aemon is extremely durable, capable of surviving several deep slashes and cuts from a Meito blade wielded by Enrayus Vaanan. Like with most of his stats, it is likely that he was even more durable in his youth.

## History

### Expedition to Kingdustry

Sometime prior to his first encounter with the New Dawn Pirates, Aemon was sent on a Mission to the Island of Kingdustry, and instructed to bring his troop along with him. The aim of the trip was to ease tensions between the church and the World Government, though this plan ended up failing miserably when Aemon and the rest of his inquisitors where forced out of the country due to "being too much of a nuisance."

Upon attempting to sail back to Blue Frog, the Inquisitors were accosted by an unnamed group of pirates who stole there food and supplies in a raid. With little other option, Aemon attempted to re-enter Kingdustry to restock supplies but was once again kicked out. The Inquisitors then spent the next week sailing around the perimeter of the island in the hopes that they could raid or barter with a departing ship.
