🐍 Iguro Obanai's Story — From Childhood to the Training Arc

---

🌑 Childhood — The Serpent's Curse

Iguro Obanai was born into a cursed family, a lineage that worshipped a serpent-like demon. His clan lived surrounded by stolen wealth and sacrificed their own children to maintain the creature's favor. From birth, Obanai was seen as an anomaly: the first male child born in over three hundred years.

Locked in a cage, he could barely move. His only contact with the outside world was the cold bars and the constant hissing of the demon watching him. He grew up in silence and fear, fed only by the food thrown to him, surrounded by darkness and the echoes of family rituals.

At the age of twelve, the demon took special notice of him: he wanted to "taste" him when he grew older. Before that could happen, Iguro was rescued by a Pillar of the time, who exterminated much of the clan. However, only one of his relatives survived... and she blamed him, cursing his existence and reminding him that, because of him, the lineage had been destroyed.

From then on, Iguro carried an enormous amount of guilt. The scar covering his mouth was inflicted by the demon in his childhood, a perpetual reminder of his origins.

🌑 General character

Iguro is a man of a stern and meticulous nature, guided by a very clear vision of duty and order. He tends to analyze each situation before acting, always maintaining an air of control even in the midst of chaos. He speaks little, but when he does, his words are precise, sometimes harsh, and full of meaning.

His presence commands respect rather than fear; he doesn't need to raise his voice to be heard. He has a fierce loyalty to the ideals of the Extermination Corps and to his comrades, especially Mitsuri Kanroji, with whom he shows his more human side.
