Hayashi Namikaze

Hayashi Namikaze is the Commander of the Gehenna Guard and is the most trusted warrior of Taro Aoyama. He is the one who killed Sakura Amagiri, the mother of Kensei Amagiri.

Appearance
Hayashi is an elderly man in his fifties to sixties with a somewhat muscular build, he has long well-groomed gray-colored hair tied in the back using a black ribbon along with a maintained goatee and mustache. At most times, he is seen dressed in a big black cloak that keeps his lower body to his legs hidden. As a result of the injuries he sustained from Sakura Amagiri, he has numerous cybernetic implants (the most notable is his robotic left arm and leg, healed scars, and stitches.

Personality
Hayashi is a stoic and emotionless man who has no qualms with using the weaknesses of his opponents to his advantage, this is first shown when after being almost killed by Sakura Amagiri, he used the slight hesitance revealed after she saw Kensei right in front of her and injured her using a hidden gun.

History
Blind from birth, Hayashi was brought into the supernatural from a young age and not wanting to feel powerless, he trained in his other working senses and swordsmanship eventually becoming a mercenary.

Powers & Abilities
Master Swordsman: Hayashi is an excellent sword master, being able to handle combat against various forms of monsters and some High-Class Devils in spite of his blindness. Despite this, he was overwhelmed by Sakura who has mastered the Amagiri Nitoryu to a tremendous degree to the point where he couldn't sense the disturbances in the air caused by swinging her swords.

Immense Speed: He has proven to possess remarkable speed, as he could appear behind Kensei without either of the Old Devils, Taro, and the two Gehenna Guards noticing him leaving. Though, it is noted that Kensei wasn't at all paying that much attention to Hayashi.
