Sajuttaris

**Sajuttaris** (サジュタリス, *Sajutarisu*?) is a minor character in the "Phantom Death Capital" arc.

## Biography

Sajuttaris is the **Wind Horse God** (風の馬神, *Kaze no Umagami*?). He is also known as the **Wise God of the Wind** (風の賢神, *Kaze no ken-shin*?). Sajuttaris is the male god of the wind, a wise god of courtesy and martial prowess. He is particularly good with the bow and is also called the **Bow God** (弓神神, *Yumigami*?).

He is worshipped by centaurs and has the same appearance. Sajuttaris is one of the four deities worshiped by centaurs, and he is the youngest of the four brothers. He usually live on Perion Hill in the Kisonia Prairie.

He is not part of the Elios Pantheon, but he isn't considered to be an Evil God by humans.

## History

In the war between Nargolians and Mina's Children, Sajuttaris initially stood neutral in the conflict. However, when Orgis requested the neutral gods for help, Sajuttaris was one of the three gods to cooperate. He sided with the Elios Pantheon during their battles, teaching them martial arts. Sajuttaris taught martial arts to the children of Mina. However, he did not try to fight alongside them. He only assisted them. At the request of the moon god Orgis, he taught martial arts to Odis.

He is on friendly terms with Modus, and when Modus was driven out of Mount Elios, Sajuttaris also distanced himself from the Elios Pantheon in protest. However, despite his distance, he is not particularly hostile to Odis, and Odis also forbids to be hostile to Sajuttaris. They also try to avoid getting involved in disputes between their kin group. He'd joined Modus' group; the Nargol Pantheon. His participation in the union of the gods led by Demon King Modus was also to avoid conflict, and he would not fight alongside Modus.

## Appearance

Kuroki considers Sajuttaris to be beautiful, even though he is a centaur. Kouki describes he has golden fur and a noble face.

## Personality

Sajuttaris is one of the centaur gods and, unlike his elder brother, the other centaur gods, he is a rational god. However, it is not a fair comparison, as the older brother gods are sometimes the embodiment of centaur violence and lustful. He doesn't like fighting, so he doesn't have the chance to show his skills.

He lives in the Kisonia Prairie and rarely in Nargol. He does not live in any particular place, but is always on the move somewhere in the Kisonia Prairie.

Despite his martial fame, however, Sajuttaris rarely takes part in conflicts and does not fight.

He does not want to get deeply involved with anyone. He may train Heroes of all species, but he does not directly help them. It is the same with his own kin group, the Centaurs. Centaurs are an uncoordinated species. They are divided into many clans and fight amongst the same species. Sajuttaris almost never arbitrate. He left to them to fight it out. He doesn't seem particularly concerned about what happens to his own kin groups. Well, some deities think of the kin groups as their own slaves, so that is not unusual. But he does not seem to intend to rule the kin group either. Rather, he is benevolent and helps them on a whim.

### The Winds of the Prairie

But as soon as Kuroki entered Kisonia, he was able to meet him.

Sajuttaris beside Kuroki witnessed Kouki's escape at Volja River. Sajuttaris looks at Kuroki meaningfully as he is impressed. Perhaps he is aware that Kuroki has secretly advised Kouki. Kuroki and Sajuttaris sat on top of a hill looking into the distance. Sajuttaris, who was watching Kouki from afar, gave a strange look as he witnessed Kouki hatched a dragon egg. Sajuttaris laughs as he noticed Nao was able to detect him. Sajuttaris looks at the land of Neuri and says it is unusal for Kouki to be welcomed by the wolves. Sajuttaris next to Kuroki explains the rarity of Golden Horses, saying with a surprised look on his face.

He calmly looked at Kouki and guided him towards the village of the Houyhnhnms. Sajuttaris then leads Kouki to the back.

Kuroki might have had a hard time if he fought him. Sajuttaris is also quite strong and can fight on equal terms with Odis, Alphos and Reiji. Sajuttaris' martial fame is so well known all over the world.

Sajuttaris can exchange information with the Elemental Spirits of the wind in Kisonia. He was able to learn of Kuroki's arrival in Kisonia.

## Development

His original material is based on the centaur **Chiron** (ケイローン, *Keirōn*?).

Sajuttaris name derives from **Sagittarius** (サジタリウス, *Sajitariusu*?). Greek mythology associates Sagittarius with the centaur Chiron, who mentored Achilles, a Greek hero of the Trojan War, in archery.
