Ai Sen, also known as "Burning Ai Sen", is a General of the Qin Military and one of the lieutenants of the Gaku Ka Army, the famous and powerful specialist army. He serves as the Gaku Ka's offensive oriented powerhouse after they became a 10,000 strong army and was transferred from the Mou Bu Army[2].
A vassal of the Mou Family, Ai Sen served as a soldier in General Mou Bu’s personal army since joining the Qin Military as a young man. He would meet Mou Ten, his lord’s son and the heir of the family, when he was child and slowly became convinced that he would fight alongside his young lord one day.
Following his lord, Mou Bu into battle, Ai Sen became stronger to be of use to Mou Ten in their future battles together.[3].
Appearance[]
Ai Sen is a young-looking mid-size man with long dark hair. He wears commanders' armor with neck piece and a cape.
Personality[]
Ai Sen comes off as being a relatively calm man with a nonchalant but polite personality, however, this betrays his otherwise bloodthirsty, fierce demeanor that he fully brandishes on the battlefield or in intense combat. He can be a tad judgmental in his first interactions with others as shown when he first met Shin [4] and found Kyou Kai's beauty to be dangerous. He is also quite possessive of his lord, referring to him as "my Mou Ten-sama!"[5]
History[]
Years ago, Ai Sen met a 10 year old Mou Ten, who was busy running from Ko Zen, while he and his unit were resting one day. The young master would offer his gratitude to them for fighting under his reckless father and ask them to continue supporting him with their strength.
Afterwards, Ai Sen met Mou Ten irregularly on the battlefield after the young man joined the Qin Military and saw how he was becoming more and more like a man. Ai Sen began to believe that he would eventually be fighting for Mou Ten’s sake and so continued to become stronger as he fought with his lord’s armies as he needed to be of use one day.
