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 grand 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 large, muscular and imposing man, with sharp masculine facial features and short hair. His hair remains short across the board with the exception of his "fringe"; which are two antennae-like strands of hair. He is seen wearing a set of armor that covers his chest, shoulders, shins and pelvis as well as a large cloak that covers a majority of his body, underneath his armor appears to be a black and white, form-fitting bodysuit of some kind. The shoulder guards of his armor are large- and bears tomoe-like markings on them. The armor covering his chest begins with segmented plates protecting his neck, alongside two shoulder-straps to hold the large centerpiece covering his chest in place. Further down, his armor is once again made up of segmented plates that cover his stomach until they reach the crotch area which is covered by a larger piece of plating. On his waist he bears two small plates held on by a white belt. These plates start at his waist and come partway down his calves. Further down, his knees, shins and feet are protected by metal greaves; which start at the knees with a small plate, and cover the remaining area with metal plating.

Personality
Described as a man who rarely leaves the battlefield, 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.

Bio
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.

Equipment &amp; Skills
Budo possesses the Teigu Adrammelec, which seems to produce lightning based on Syura's calling him that lightning geezer. Budo commands identical, if not, more respect and regard than Esdeath towards fellow officials. As the Empire's highest ranking military officer, Budo is assumed to be an extremely proficient fighter and his appearance implies great strength and endurance.

Relationships
Esdeath: Esdeath highly respects and regards Budo. She sarcastically refers to him as "Old Geezer"

Prime Minister: Though the Prime Minister requires Budo to accomplish tasks, it is made clear that Budo is not fond of the Prime Minister, something he's aware of.

Syura: Like Esdeath and his father, Syura holds great regard for Budo's strength. Like Esdeath, he refers to Budo as "Old Geezer"
