Bulat

Bulat, also known as "100 Man-Slayer Bulat", was a member of the assassin's group, Night Raid.

Appearance
Bulat was a tall man with a well built form, he often wore his hair in a combed up "Pompadour" style, though in his days with the Empire, it was uncombed and longer.

Personality
Bulat had a cool, calm personality, and was high intelligent. He was heavily hinted to be homosexual, and flirted with Tatsumi on occasion, which made the latter extremely nervous.

Bio
Bulat was once a high-ranking Imperial Officer known as "100 Man-Slayer Bulat". He later decided to betray the Empire when his superior was framed for not giving in to the Prime Minister's agenda. Bulat became disgusted with the Empire that cared more for bribes, than merit regardless of how hard he worked. After leaving the Empire, he joined the Revolutionaries, and eventually Night Raid. Later, he assisted in training Tatsumi after he also joined Night Raid, and went on a mission together with him to protect a civil official being targeted for assassination by the Three Beasts. He saved Tatsumi from Daidara and easily defeated him, cutting him in half. Liver, a former superior of his from the empire, then attacked Bulat, and they fought evenly for a while. He managed to beat Liver, but in the process, was poisoned fatally. Before dying, Bulat left his Teigu Incursio to Tatsumi.

Due to the fact that only Tatsumi survived the battle with The Three Beasts and no one had seen Bulat, the Empire is unaware that he is dead. This is also proven by the time Wave encountered Tatsumi wearing the Incursio, the former immediately identified him as Bulat.

Equipment and Skills
He wielded Incursio, an armor Teigu that changes form depending on the person using it. When activated, the armor has a special ability to turn the user invisible for a limited time. He was also shown to be extremely proficient with a spear. He is shown to have mastered Incursio to its limits as he was able to call the Armor without the use of its key as well as being able to use its invisibility for long periods of time.

He is also a master of his surroundings able to deal with three powerful enemies with little difficulty. He also fought with extreme skill using a sword. His exact strength was never revealed but Nyau had stated that he was at Esdeath's level implying that he had skill equal to a general's. Esdeath herself also commented that he deserves special attention when dealing with Night Raid further hinting at this.

Relationships
Tatsumi: In the short time they spent together, Bulat's teachings as a mentor and friend made a significant and lasting impact on Tatsumi as an assassin. Tatsumi often recalls Bulat's lesson of not letting his emotions control him, as well as being aware of his surroundings. Bulat had seen much potential in Tatsumi while he was alive, and admitted that someday Tatsumi would leave him in the dust, and that he could not wait to see it.

General Liver: The two fought together in the Southern wars and grew to respect each other to the highest extent. They knew each other better than themselves. When he was imprisoned Bulat decided to leave the military and joined the Night Raid. unfortunately, as Liver joined the Three Beasts and Bulat joined Nightraid, the two were ultimately forced to fight during their reunion, an event which saw them both to their ends. Despite this, neither one seemed to bare any animosity towards the other as an individual, and continued to retain their respect for each other right to the end.
