Nakago
	Vital Statistics Real Name: Ayurhu Age: 25 Eyes: Blue Hair: Blonde First Appearance (Anime): Episode 10 Abilities: Life force blasts, whip skill Affiliation: Seiryu Seven

Nakago is a member of the Seiryu Seven, celestial warriors sworn to protect the Priestess of Seiryu from harm. Nakago is the cold, cruel, but intelligent leader of the army of Kutou, the land that worships Seiryu, god of the East. His mastery of the power that he possesses as a member of the Seiryu Seven is nearly unmatched, and his power to seriously hurt and drain a person and their life force by his blasts is one that is definitely dangerous to anyone he hits.

Nakago's rather cruel and emotionless attitude may stem partly from his traumatic past. Nakago was born a member of the Hin Tribe, a group of people that the emperor of Kutou had ordered shunned and then exterminated from the lands. The people of Kutou came to hate the Hin Tribesmen and hunted them down whereever they went in the land. It was during some of these "hunts" that Nakago had the horror to witness his own mother being raped by Kutou soldiers. Raw emotion and anger took hold of the child Nakago, and he released his first life force blast, an uncontrolled burst that killed both his mother and the guards that were assaulting them. Nakago was then captured and taken to the emperor, who, when he learned of his power, concluded that he was a member of the Seiryu Seven, destined to protect the Priestess of Seiryu and help Kutou in its bid to dominate all the lands. Having nothing left but revenge to think of, Nakago agreed to stay with the emperor, and it is during the intervening years that he truly hardened himself and mastered his power.

Miaka first encounters Nakago at the border between Kutou and Konan, as Miaka had traveled there on her own to explore rumors that Yui, her friend, had ended up in Kutou. In order to masquerade her true identity, Miaka told Nakago that she was the Preiestess of Seiryu, and was then taken to the emperor where she met Yui once again. However, Nakago discovered Miaka's true identity and had her imprisoned. Miaka was able to escape, but only out of the efforts of Chichiri and Tamahome, who were somehow able to circumvent the magic of Nakago and Seiryu and leave with Miaka.

Though Nakago merely wants to bring order to the land, his methods are indeed ruthless and cruel, and Nakago is personally responsible for many of the tragedies and bad things that happen in the series to the Suzaku Seven. Nakago is manipulative, crafty, and driven by revenge, and combined with his formidable power and disregard for mercy is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
