He has been actively involved in Genius competitions ever since a young age

While he understood that he was living up to his everyone's expectations, he did not have any passion and sense of purpose in the things he do. It was unrelated to having to meet expectations, and he grew up healthy. The problem was an intrinsic one, that he did not understand his twin brother's notion of "beauty" He finally realized the inconsistency one morning, and wondered why it took him so long to figure it out. He simply woke up, raised his head, and knew at that moment that, while his family wished for him to be beautiful, he had always questioned why he had never thought the same of which that his parents and brother had thought was beautiful.

Understanding that he was not in accordance with the world, he worked hard to correct this mistake, attempting to find purpose and passion. He began questioning his existence in the world and why would he?, a person can't find any purposeIt was one day he found passion and a sense of purpose when he and his twin, Issei were on a field trip on a zoo. All was fine until a tiger escaped from its cage, in the panic both brothers were seperated, As they were seperated, Kirei did the logical thing and went to find his missing brother. Upon seeing his brother, he saw him back against the wall with the ferocious tiger in front of him. He immediately took a nearby pole before hitting the beast on the head unconscious.

It was there that he found a sense of happiness and purpose upon saving his brother, this brought purpose in him when he protected his brother and same can be said for his parents, for he also both cherish and loves.

Though quiet and anti-social, Kirei was a natural prodigy in the Bajiquan arts and education, praised as the best in school. At age 7, Kirei had the highest overall grade in his school; at age 8, he mastered Bajiquan; at age 9, he was already eligible to be a highschool student due to his intellect; Kirei's accomplishments were a source of great pride for his family, his brother viewing him as an idol. Kirei spent a great deal of time with Issei, training with him (though rarely actually training him).

When he was 10, Kirei was offered by Irina's father, Touji Shidou to be a 'Student' in Italy but in reality an offer to be a student in an Executor School. In which he immediately accepts, saying goodbye to his parents and his brother, Issei. Kirei departed with the Shidou family to the Vatican.

Arriving at the Executor School, he immediately became a top prodigy completing his apprenticeship in only 6 months upon his enrollment, becoming the youngest Executor. Due to his performances he became the protege of the Grandmaster of the Iscariot Order, Alexander Anderson. As a protege of Alexander Anderson, he immediately became a member of the famed Iscariot Order. During his time with the Order, he met many people and beings that eventually change his life like. Eventually, this people became one of his precious people and it also filled the sense of purpose that always troubled him.

A month after he joined the Iscariots, he was sent to Glastonbury,Britain to rescue any surviving members of the Pendragon Family. There, he found the eldest of the Pendragon siblings, Arturia Pendragon. Saving her from the S-class stray devil, Mamorus by defeating him quickly. Kirei took Arturia with him to the Iscariot Order, in the process with her joining their ranks.

A year after he joined, Kirei was injured by a stray devil in a mission gone wrong in Milan,Italy. Due to his severe injuries, he was taken by Alexander Anderson to the 'Holy Maiden', Asia Argento where she healed his injuries. Upon waking he met Asia, this eventually blossomed a close friendship between the two. Due to his injuries, he was confined within the church where Asia was stationed. During the 6 months that he was confined, Kirei confessed that it was the best memories of his life. Eventually, he started to fall in love with Asia due to her kindness and beautiful nature. After being released, he went back doing mission but not forgetting Asia. He always visits her every week.

It was also that year that he was assigned to a retrieval Operation. The item that was being retrieved was the famed, Bab-Ilu. Upon arriving in the ruins of Ancient Sumer, the ruins was illuminated by red lines that led to the tallest Ziggurat in the ruins. There, he found the weapon, but upon touching the Key-Sword. It vanishes and a weird red tattoo appeared on his right arm. Returning to the Vatican, he told the core members of the event that transpired. When he finished explaining what happened, Alucard revealed the true nature of the Bab-Ilu. This resulted an unspoken agreement between the core members, not to tell anyone of Bab-Ilu's existence.

A week after the retrieval mission, that he met the Gilgamesh. With their meeting, Kirei was trained to the powers of the Vault and learning the true purpose of Bab-Ilu. This was also the start of his 'headaches' that continued until the Holy Maiden Arc.

During 5 years before the start of the story, he made a name as the 'Black Death' due to the black cassock he always wear when going to missions. His title created fear within the stray devils due to his hunting of S-class stray devils.

Sensing that he is capable of protecting his family. He made decision to go back to Japan, this caused sadness within the core members due to his bond that he formed with them. But the most affected was Asia, it pains his heart leaving the person his loves. Before leaving her, he promised her that both of them will explore the outside world, giving her his silver cross that symbolizes their promise to each other.

Upon returning back to Japan, he joined his family and eventually enrolled in Kuoh Academy.

Personality
Unknown to those around him, Kirei was born with no sense of purpose in his life. He was neither good or bad, but neither is he a hero or a villain. Despite his accomplishments in the field of academics and magecraft, he never felt purpose. He only found purpose when protecting his family and loved ones.

As time progresses, Kirei was quiet and insightful individual. He live at a distance without getting directly involved. Although this prevented him from becoming close to people, it enable to think without prejudice or preconceptions.

Despite his deep affection to his family, Kirei felt his life were for the greater good; with that he joined the Iscariot Order. With him joining the Iscariots, Kirei met many people that will all change his lives. Being an accomplished Executor enabled Kirei to be more open to other people.

When he got back to Japan Kirei became more open to other people but he still retained some of his young self and think more of the future of the world.

 * Gram: is the sword of the sun wielded by Sigurd, the greatest hero of Northern Europe in the Völsunga saga. It is a demonic sword of glory and destruction that is the model of Caliburn in the legend of King Arthur and also based on Merodach.

As Caliburn was a "sword stuck in the stone that chooses the king", Gram was also a chosen sword of appointment lodged in the mighty tree of the king of Volsung that was pulled out by Sigurd's father, Sigmund. Sigurd received the shattered pieces of the sword from his father, Sigmund, and reforged it into a demonic sword capable of killing even a dragon.[37] The legend of Gram and its master, Sigurd, is a tale ripe with glory and destruction fitting the great hero.

Enkidu: Chains of Heaven


It is a chain named after Gilgamesh's closest friend made to bind the gods so they cannot escape, making it one of the few anti-divine weapons that holds the concept of "reigning over the gods." The strength and durability of the chain grows stronger with the target having higher divinity, but is no more than a tough chain to a target without divinity

Kirei is capable of taking out the entire length of chain from the Gate of Babylon to use in conjunction with Ea when he is serious about fighting, or he can simply summon part of it from the Gate. The chain can be summoned from anywhere the Gate of Babylon can reach, elongate and contract without any shown limit, and multiple individual sections can be summoned at one time. The blade on the front of the chain is capable of acting as a striking weapon when launched at a high speed, and he can summon a single length to wrap around an opponent so he can drag them towards him by pulling it.

Once activating, numerous segments instantly appear to wrap around the opponent in order to bind them for his projectiles. It is shown both descending from the sky and appearing directly from inside the Gate of Babylon. He generally binds the opponent's weapon, limbs, shoulders, neck, and abdomen, rendering them completely immobile. The chains continuously twist and tighten with enough force to attempt to tear off Berserker's head and bend his arms past their limits in a normally impossible direction. It appears to even bind the space around itself, making teleportation impossible

Sword of Rupture, Ea


Is the most powerful weapon contained in the Gate of Babylon and the pinnacle of all. Unlike all of his other nameless weapons that were able to be passed on to other wielders over the course of history, it is a sword only Gilgamesh and Kirei possesses, a completely unique existence that can only be possessed by both of them.

It has an abnormal shape that doesn't match what would normally be classified as something specialized like a sword. It is something that was born before the appearance of the concept that the world calls a "sword", so it is not something that can truly be called a sword or have the shape of any known blade. While it has a grip, handguard, and is the same length as a longsword, the section that should contain a blade deviates from the normal form of an edged weapon. The "blade" itself and the tip of the sword, spun in a spiral shape, are dull. It has the shape of a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three independently rotating segments engraved with crimson cuneiform lettering that spin slowly in alternating direction like querns, the middle segment spinning clockwise and the top and bottom segments spinning counterclockwise. The drill design was modeled after bedrock excavators used to drill underwater tunnels.


 * Enuma Elish: The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth: signifies the overloaded state under which it releases its maximum output. Upon activation, the triblade segments of Ea gradually begin to rotate faster with each revolution, acting in concert with the movement of the Heavens. As they begin rotating rapidly, each creaking with weight and power equivalent to tectonic movement, they create a shrilling howl once Gilgamesh and Kirei commands it to "wake up". Whereas Excalibur releases air outward like a whirlwind, Ea begins to swallow, compress, and accelerate wind pressure into a storm of wind and light on the same magnitude as Excalibur. Emitting gaseous energy from the seams between the segments, the generated air pressure faults compressed and smashed against each other simulate spatial rends to create an artificial space-time dislocation that acts as a crushing torrent capable of pulverizing any opposition. The actual output of the attack equals or slightly surpasses than that of Excalibur, but the swirl of air behind it and the enormous amount of seething and overflowing magical energy within it are on an entirely different level beyond measurement.
