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 had black hair that he often wore in a combed up, heart shaped pompadour style, though in his days with the Empire, it was uncombed and longer; he also had blue eyes.

Personality
Bulat had a calm, kind personality; although he referred to himself as passionate and hot-blooded, he never actually lost his cool in battle. He was among the most compassionate members of the Night Raid and he taught Tatsumi to embrace these emotions but not to let them consume him. Leone informed Tatsumi that Bulat was gay, to which he replied "you don't want him to misunderstand, right?" but did not deny Leone's statement, while blushing heavily. Bulat 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, General Liver 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 was 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 was also a master of his surroundings, and was 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 that was equal to a general's. Esdeath herself also commented that he deserves special attention when dealing with Night Raid further hinting at this.
