Kosei is an elder Tengu with sharp, hawk-like features etched by age, his once jet-black hair now a flowing silver that he ties back neatly. His face is adorned with red markings, symbols of wisdom and authority, and his penetrating gaze, though softened with kindness, reveals a man who misses nothing. His robes are layered in dark feathers, reminiscent of the powerful wings of the Tengu, and he wears ceremonial necklaces signifying his status. Despite his age, he carries himself with dignity and strength. His relaxed demeanor often masks the depth of his knowledge and sharp insight, but there’s always a playful glint in his eye, especially when indulging in his favorite pastimes.

A wise and thoughtful elder, Kosei commands deep respect from his people, not only for his leadership but for his profound understanding of both the mystical arts and the human heart. Though age has slowed him, his mind remains sharp, and he continues to carefully weigh every decision. He is deeply aware of the need for a new generation to step forward, but his protective nature drives him to ensure the right person takes his place. While patient and kind, he is a shrewd judge of character and does not tolerate incompetence, quietly mentoring those he sees as potential leaders. He can be surprisingly carefree and mischievous at times, especially when beatiful women are around. He also likes to read raunchy romance novels.

As the current leader of all Tengu, Kosei has spent decades guiding his people through times of change and challenge, earning widespread respect for his wisdom and steady leadership. His mastery of Onmyoji arts has long protected both his clan and their sacred lands, cementing his role as a powerful spiritual guardian. Now in the twilight of his life, Kosei contemplates stepping down, hoping to entrust the future of his people to a capable successor. However, he is cautious, knowing the dangers of a leadership void and the risks of choosing someone ill-suited for the role.
