Souma was part of the legendary "Awakening" alongside Yamato eight years back—a pretty significant chapter in his past. These days he's a captain in the Hundred Demon Corps, leading the squad players encounter throughout the game. He and his team show up at Utakata Village on orders to wipe out the demon infestation plaguing the north.
What makes Souma stand out is his ability to hold his unit together. He's got the kind of charisma and genuine bravery that makes his soldiers follow him without question. Even when things get grim, he manages to keep morale up—the kind of leader people actually want to fight for rather than fight under.
