Kirio

Kirio enters the story as a contender for the Sacred Beast Spear lineage within Kouhaku Myousou, though his true origin lies in the craft of Western alchemy—an existence born not of flesh but of arcane science. Manipulated by Douko, an avatar of the White-Faced One, he once sought to supplant the Beast Spear with an artificially constructed scythe. Upon uncovering the deception, however, Kirio broke free from manipulation and pledged his allegiance to Sogetsu Ushio. Forged through suffering and self-discovery, he ultimately emerged as a vital ally in the battle against the White-Faced One.
