Kuyou
Kuyou earned his notorious reputation eight years back during the "Awakening," when he strategized the decision to cede the north to the demon horde—a call that saved lives but cost him dearly in public opinion. He's been branded the "demon who abandoned the north" ever since, a label that sticks despite the logic behind it.
These days, he represents Sacred Mountain and oversees Souma's Hundred Demon Corps while stationed at Utakata Village. Fans often note that his cold, ruthless approach to problems makes him valuable precisely because he's willing to make the hard calls nobody else will. His sharp mind is basically what keeps him relevant in his position—intelligence is his strongest asset, and he knows it.
