History: Turchino Mizutora was born to a simple Romany family traveling the wilds of the Balkans when he and his family were attacked by bandits belonging to the Seit clan of Thieves. Finding him to be attractive for his age, the boy was taken from his family and sold into the brighter (human) trafficking market of criminal underworld of the United Shadow Nations. Spending years as a slave in various ways to equally numerous and various dregs of nocturnians, he was finally able to escape using only a butchers knife to kill his lazy owner. By the time he got out, he was covered head to toe in scars that hadnt healed properly and he was going blind.

He wandered for days until he was saved by a tribe of nomads called the Bruxa. They nursed Turchino body back to health, but his mind and soul would take longer. As the Bruxa were skilled warriors, they used their martial arts and warrior ways to help Turchino gain some sence of self and name back. It was the Bruxa who gave him the name 'Mizutora', the Water Tiger, and the sacred spells burned into his skin that gives him his sight back in such that he can see peoples auras around them.

After a few years with the warrior nomads, Mizutora left them to travel the world on his own to train his body and mind further, driven by the burining need to never be as helpless as he once was. At some point, he gained the ability to open six of the seven Gates of Power in his body, becoming one of the most powerful warriors on the planet.

Now nearing his old age, Turchino has opened a school to train other young warriors. New among his students is the you K'lee Lestrade and her homunculus, Simon.

Personality: Sardonic and critical when he chooses to speak, Turchino is never the less a good man. His brutal past has made him wary and unwilling to make close bonds with anyone. The many horrific scars on his body causes him to wear long sleaved shirts and pants no matter what the weather is like. He trains diligantly and expects his students to do the same. He almsot never gives you an oppinion of your progress or skills like most other masters would, because he wants the student to be confidant enough in themselves but not boastful. He'll kick your ass for that.

Though he is starting to feel something of a fondness for Simon. Well... Turchy would like to think its only fondness.
