Kurai was once the lead general of Vladimir's army before falling out of position and 'exiled' to the Celestial House (a lavish prison.) Many of the soldiers were in unison when under his command save for a few who made it known by forming smaller bands. Many admired for him for his selflessness on the field and strategies that involved swallowing the offending army/enemy into a trap and overtaking them. Although he seems geared for a classic fantasy battle, his world has technology and contains sci-fi incorporation ideas as well. Weapons used are far from limited to swords and bows.
He is known as an archangel, but the terms has no relevance towards religion but more towards his lineage.
This is a beautiful piece, with intricate designs and really solidifies Kurai as a character. I really like the title of archangel, works very well with the military theme and classical style.
so did you come up with this character yourself, or did you take inspiration from other controversial figures in history? because this reminds me so much of andrew jackson.
