## **Voice line**

Everything about him is a secret - no one knows where he came from, or where he will go. He has travelled across Aurora but rarely stays in one place for long - with the exception of Messiah.

### **[Righteousness] - Requires: Tier 2**

Hayate, heir of a great house and inheritor of a lethal tradition of swordsmanship, showed talent with a blade, even as a boy.

He possessed a strong sense of right and wrong and fought evil wherever he found it. Soon he attracted followers and they grew into a large organization.

Hayate wanted to bring justice to the world, but some of his subordinates had different ideas, acting without his knowledge. Finally Hayate realized his own organization had become the thing he hated most.

Unabale to accept it, but not able to destroy it either, he handes responsiblity over to someone he trusted and disappeared.

### **[Vendetta] - Requires: Tier 3**

Hayate returned to his family home and continued his life of debauchery.

The organization did not take kindly to his leaving.

One night, assassins surrounded Hayate's manse and slaughtered everyone inside, including the elderly and children.

When Hayate returned hom(e), suffering from a hangover, he found no one alive. He fell to his knees and screamed in rage.

The assassing drew near. Hayate put his hand on the hilt of his blade. In the blink of an eye, one of the assassins lost his head.

The flame of hatred consumed him. He decided,

"Let destruction reign."

And all was destroyed.

### **[Sword and Journey] - Requires: Tier 4**

Many years later, long after Hayate's old organization had vanished, he emerged as a wandering swordsman in Messiah.

Like a lost ghost, Hayate sought the legendary Valkyrie, hoping tot die under her sword and end his boring life.

Slightly inebriated, he defeated the challengers one by one. His eyes lit up whe he finally saw Brynhild, wearing her armor.

They fought for what seemed like hours, testing each other thoroughly. Finally they unleased their most powerful attacks and Hayate came off second best.

"A perfect strike. Now, kill me, please."

Brynhild shook her head.

"It would be a shame if your skills were lost. I look forward to our next tussle."

Hayate lay down on his back and let the raindrops fall on him. He recalled being a simple boy, before hatred filled his heart, when all he wanted was to practice swordplay. Tears started to mix with the rain.

He had lost everything, but he still had his love of the sword. Hayate packed his bags and began a new journey.
