SHIRO TOKISADA AMAKUSA

Following his death after the Shimabara Rebellion、Amakusa’s spirit vowed vengeance against the public whom he felt turned their backs on him and the shogunate. His spirit ablaze with anger as he wanders the wretched underworld, the dark lord Ambrosia approached him with a deal to become an apostle, and promptly resurrected him. Now, his single goal is to plunge the world into chaos and despair. 

(CV.SHUSAKU SHIRAKAWA)
