Master of The Clan

The **Master of The Clan**, also known as **Skysword**, is the founder of the Hero Clan and a member of the nine Elders and the Four Swordsmen, having earned his seat after defeating Yushin in a duel.

## Appearance

The Master of The Clan is a tall, muscularly built and usually keeps his hands to his sides. He has a sharp face with long white hair that flows downward to his waist and has silver blue eyes. He wears a white robe and a lavender robe underneath for his casual clothing. His shoes and belt appear to have a light gray color to it.

## Personality

The Skysword is a curious man who questioned relevance to his current status such as how people as old as Elders functioned or how modernity functions. He was infuriated when he learned that Elders seem to enjoy trifling with plans and the messes just for mere entertainment and thinking they should have just kept to themselves. He abides with a code of an honorable swordsman but is in fact a brutal cold-hearted man, not seeming to care about the lives his creation the Hero Clan has taken since its creation, just contemplating about the wonders of the world of gift users. He is morally insensitive, complimenting his student Claymore for his gain of skill from his fallen comrades even though Claymore denies this insensitivity. The Skysword still insists that they were just mere offerings for perfection of his swordsmanship, making Claymore remember how his master is always "like this". The Skysword seems to only care about protecting his version of justice or having his student grow to do the same, not caring about the comrades that have fallen and eager to watch his student grow in front of his eyes.

## History

Before being known the Master of the Clan, the man called the Skysword appeared out of nowhere amongst a torrent of rumors after the aftermath of the Iron Witch's destruction and attack on Nera. The man had visited a district lord to ask for help in fighting against the remaining remnants of the kingdom in order to stop their ambitions, but the lord refused. The swordsman would subsequently request a duel in a field of reeds and killed the lord with a single strike of his sword. No one would really take much interest to the incident as the changing of district leadership wasn't common. However, the man continued defeating more and more lords while gaining attention. The man would challenge one of the Elders, Yushin who was the ruler of Yerim to a duel. After a fierce battle that lasted for more than a week, the man defeated Yushin. His reputation skyrocketed, and he would build an organization, the Hero Clan based around his fame. In a matter of time, the clan that fought in the name of justice would clash with Nera in what historians would call the War of the Reeds which redefine the terms of Heroes and Villains. Among thousands of battles that took place, the clan claimed victory in two but vital battles that shifted the tide of the war. As they claimed victory, Nera ceased to exist with the Skysword ordering the banning of the word - "Nera".
