Kou has always been rather unassuming. Between him and his twin sister, he was a forgettable figure: never stepping out of line, but also never excelling. He did as he was told and let his sister carry the honour of their family’s name.

His blessing was a mistake. But it was his doing, and even though it was a responsibility he never wanted for himself, he accepted it nonetheless. The quiet, unremarkable teenager suddenly adopted the very ideals his family had pushed onto him, of honour and respect. To become the very light that blessed him.

He became a beacon of hope. He trained in Sanctuary for years, in efforts to catch up to his peers, and when the war began again, he was ready. He wanted to be a paragon of peace, helping the less fortunate, a guiding light to lead both sides of the conflict towards a harmonious resolution. These ideals were wasted on the Empire. On the day that Kou finally stood between the Empire and its goal, the idealist within him died. He fought, not because he wanted to, but because he had to. To save the lives of those the Empire sought to destroy.
