Hien

Hien ( 緋鉛?) is a violent, hot-tempered man and a direct subordinate of Shigi in the Kutō army. He is a skilled warrior, able to hold his own against Uruki with only one arm and almost kill Tomite, on par with Shigi. The sole survivor of an attack which destroyed his village, Hien was found by Hakei and offered a job on the spot. As a result, his loyalties are only to Hakei and Shigi. During Uruki's stay in the Kutō army as a man named "Taki", Hien and Shigi are commanded by Hakei to take him with them to eliminate Takiko and the Celestial Warriors. Neither man trusts Taki, but they do not throw him out of the army as Hakei is adamant that Taki remains with them. Subsequently, Hien loses his arm to Uruki during a fight against Takiko and Tomite. While Uruki initially pretends to be on Hien and Shigi's side, Uruki transforms into a woman and attacks Hien from behind and cuts off Hien's arm. Bent on getting revenge, Hien relentlessly stalks Uruki and will stop at nothing until he sees Uruki dead.
