Budo

Budo is one of The Empire's most feared and well-respected generals, as well as leading the Imperial Guard; who are in charge of protecting the palace. He is the highest-ranking general in The Empire with the title of great general. Noted for his immense strength and all-round battle prowess, he commands a great deal of respect from his subordinates and other factions alike.

Appearance
Budo is a tall muscular man with spiky blond hair. He wears a dark gray suit of armor with his Teigu Adramelech and what appears to be a cloak on top of it. His shoulder guards are notably large and have tomoe markings on them.

Personality
Described as a man who rarely leaves the imperial training grounds, General Budo is a hardened man, with years of training and military hardship shaping him to his current state. As a general born from a celebrated lineage, Budo takes great pride in his honor, and that of the empire. Unlike most generals, he doesn't affiliate himself with the Prime Minister, and the general downright detests him. He even went on to state that once the rebels would be crushed, those who caused chaos in the country would incur his "wrath".

Budo was shown to be serious man in his duties in protecting the palace and the emperor as he was shown to be angry when Wave and Syura almost use their Teigu to fight inside of the palace and he threatened to kill them if they ever did it again, and when Syura teleported the Night Raid members into the palace to capture them, Budo punched him after their capture due to the possibility of harm coming to the emperor from his plan and gave his promise to kill him if this was ever repeated.

Budo was shown to hold the belief that the soldiers of the empire shouldn't be fighting each other and instead save their effort to defeat the rebels as shown when Wave didn't want to stop beating Syura despite being declared the winner of the duel, Budo punched and angrily scold him, but then smiled as he was leaving while saying that they are both strong and should focus on stopping the rebel instead of fighting.

History
Born into family with many well-known generals, Budo was trained throughout his life in order to follow the demands from his family and country. Not much is known about him, due to his continuous military drills and training, which rarely causes him to actually leave training grounds.

When called upon by the Prime Minister to deal with a rebel army dealing with the south, Budo swore that he would destroy the rebels. However, shortly after making that statement, Budo noted his detestment at the Empire's current state and vows to change it by eliminating the cause of the chaos himself.
