Uncle
(a.k.a. The Eternal Swordsman)
Personality
Uncle is a man who once lived only to improve his skill with the sword, but now lives only to drink and see just how long he'll live for in the end. Insightful, wise, and caring to a degree, but usually unwilling to help if it requires effort. Uncle sees himself as an observer, put on this earth to watch the world burn around him. His lack of ambition though should not be taken for weakness or a lack of self preservation; If you threaten him or something he cares about he'll show you the fruits of his decades long study into swordplay. Uncle always carries with him a sword given to him by his final master known as "Kazeshini", which roughly translates to "Wind of Death". He has wielded many blades as his second, but Kazeshini is his treasure.Evo Abilities

Personal history
Uncle was the child of a westerner born to a Japanese mother who refused to keep the child. Sakamoto Hatsuharu was the name given to him shortly after being born, when he was discovered on the doorstep of the kendo dojo where he would go on to learn swordplay.
Even at an early age he seemed to grow slower than other children, though it was almost unnoticeable at this stage. Over the years he studied the art of kendo diligently and rose through the ranks quickly, reaching the highest grade and title he could before turning 46 (The age requirement for someone to take the eighth-dan exam) by the age of 38. It would be at this point that his less natural abilities became apparent, as when he took the eighth-dan kendo exam he still appeared as if he were in his 20's or early 30's with some people even wondering if he was truly the age he claimed to be. This eventually earned him his nickname 'The Eternal Swordsman'.
After decades of study, even going on to master using two blades at once from an unorthodox teacher, he eventually found himself with little left to learn from his masters. And so he decided that if he was truly going to live longer than most he would use that ability to travel the world, using his skill with the blade to protect himself as he went. Having always been opposed to the ideals of his kendo teachers, the ones who had named him, he abandoned his name. In time he would find himself with a new name, one he was more comfortable with.
