**Tokogu** (常仇) is the Jōnin Commander of Konohagakure. Ever since the formation of the Black Wolves, before Konoha, he was the right hand of Jinaku Inuzuka. He has long served Jinaku since an early age, although he was a much different man before an incident that changed both him and Jinaku substantially. Something which eventually led him into becoming the monster he portrays himself as today. Over the years, he grew to know many of the Black Wolves. He watched them all die, by the hands of countless enemies across a myriad of years. His only goal at this point is to seek **revenge** for all of the fallen soldiers he knew.

## Background

Before his time as Tokogu, he was known as someone else. His name was Ren Kohaku, just a misguided youth who played a part in the many battles that existed across the known world. He was exceptionally well at what he did, only relying on his blade in battle to cut down any foe he was pointed towards. It wasn't until he met Jinaku Inuzuka, before he became Hokage, that Ren's life gained a true purpose. Jinaku was someone who wanted to change the world, and was well on the way to doing that. Ren never saw himself as the kind of person to want to do something like that, but he knew there would be glory to be had.

Given his prestige in battle, Ren was made Jinaku's right hand man. Frequently, the two would go into battle together as the front line of the Black Wolves. Together, they carved a path through their enemies and towards the respect of the superior nobles. At multiple points in his life, he was even offered a position within the Ōken to replace Hibiki of the Southern Tengu. Even though he eventually relented, this is something that would never come to fruition.

Provided the information that has been already established, Ren began to bond with many of those within the Black Wolves. Yet, because of the dangerous missions they constantly faced: Death was common. There were many people that he lost back in those years, but there was one constant. His wife, Kanon, was just that constant. They were wed to one another after they survived one of the most dangerous missions that the Black Wolves faces together. Given their romantic dynamic between one another, it was hard to believe that they could ever be separated. Wanting to retire from the mercenary life and begin a family, Ren made plans to settle down as one of the Ōken. Just a week before, on his final mission, this all changed.

One morning when the Black Wolves were heading to a new position to fight an enemy bordering the Land of Fire, they encountered a kind of monster. It was hard to describe it as human, but that was the closest description many had for it. Hundreds of people died as it rushed through their flank. Jinaku and Ren engaged the enemy, in a fight that would become one that nearly took both of their lives in one fell swoop. By the end of it, countless other shinobi had died from the beast. Yet the two who led them all still managed to survive, albeit in tatters.

In the beast's own words, "As a reward for your masterful violence: I will give you two a gift." Without explanation or cause, they were struck by the beast once each. Searing pain ruptured through Ren's body, like his blood was made of magma. He felt like he was burning alive. His heart stopped beating that day as the beast left the mercenary group alone. While Jinaku was beginning to recover, Kanon rushed over to her husband and tried reviving him with medical ninjutsu. When this failed, Kanon resorted to a forbidden Reincarnation Ninjutsu. In trade of her own life, she would give Ren's back. The beast had not entirely left, as it would appear, within the flash of a second she was decapitated while she was performing this jutsu. Tokogu only came to life after the matter, and found himself covered within his own wife's blood. It was at this point: Tokogu's heart began to burn with an intensity that would seek to furiously exterminate every single person that had wronged the Black Wolves. Including the very beast that caused this all. Ren Kohaku died that day, but what came back was stronger and would be harder to kill.
