Death Wraith King

**The Death Wraith King** (**屍鬼の王**) is the chief of the Death Wraith.

He is a sworn enemy of Edwin Black and Nomad in Action Taimanin. Unlike the Wraith King or Corpse Lord, he is not an antagonistic force. He is only addressed with his title and never given a name beyond that.

## Personality

Well liked by his rather simple-minded subjects, the Death Wraith King can strike fear into some peoples hearts at first but is friendly towards humans.

He talks with a solemn, calm voice but remains respectful regardless of rank. Overall polite to most demons and humans, but exudes confidence and strength. Unlike others, he hates to hide in the shadows and prefers to confront his enemies and friends directly, without the need for many tricks. The King likes interesting and strong-willed individuals, he values pure souls of noble people and for him a fight is the best way to find out, if a person is worth his respect and friendship. Enjoys sport-like combat against others. Able to fight without stopping as they are pretty much immortal, he sometimes struggles to hold back in a good fight but is both willing to admit defeat and show restraint. At times, still a bit of a meathead but is also uncomplicated and benevolent if he respects somebody.

Unlike other high ranking nobles, the Death Wraith King shows interest to understand the culture of humans to be polite but fails to fully grasp it. Can display a more foolish and "human" side, just like other Death Wraiths. As he is fond of humans, he is willing to form partnerships with them, including Taimanin.

As a Death Wraith he hates immortal vampires like Edwin Black, as vampires corrupt souls, something he views as disguising and unnatural. Though, similar to Astaroth as they both enjoy combat, he, views her as almost too single-minded in that case. Though he notes that Fuuma Kotaro is weaker than Momochi Toyo, he still respects Kotaro's "own strength" in the form of the trust between his allies. Seems to be friendly towards more simple Taimanin like Yasuyama Yachiyo, who shares some of his more simple trades.

## Appearance

A huge figure without flesh, his body made out of bones and blue flames.

Just like other Death Wraiths, he has no true form and his body is more like a shell, that his soul takes control over.

## History

King of a mysterious subgroup of Wraith, the Death Wraith.

One of the ten most powerful demons in the demon realm, current chief of three forces hunting for the position of as the next Demon King. He leads a large coalition of many races.

He was shortly allied with Momochi Toyo in order to take down Edwin Black and his Nomad group, that was in the process of taking over the Human World. As the King of the Death Wraiths, he is the mortal enemy of Edwin Black, the King of the Vampires. He is later informed by a dying Momochi Toyo about Fuuma Kotaro and becomes interested. After Fuuma Kotaro's Taimanin Task Force makes an attempt to ally with them the Death Wraiths, the king tests the Taimanins' strength and deems them worthy.

Combining their forces, they attack one of Nomads bases in the UFS. Forcing both Oboro and Ingrid to defend the location and Edwin Black out to save them. The King attacked Black but Astaroth arrived not wanting to miss a good fight and all 3 nobles started a 12-hour brawl. The Task Force was able to distract Black and defeat him later on. However, Fuuma Kotaro decided to let Black live as to not to create further chaos at the moment and grow strength to defeat Nomad on their own. This choice surprised everybody, and both Black and Astaroth asked for Kotaro's name. The Death Wraith King was mixed on that choice but still impressed on the deep wound the Task Force inflicted, though stated that with that action, the Task Force now became the target for many high ranking demons of the Dark World, which would either try to join or kill Kotaro to make a name for themselves.

Invited the Taimanin Task Force later to a festival battle, from which while the teams fought each other for the title of the strongest
