Shizuto Dairenji, who insists others call him "Shi," was born in a hidden ninja village among the mountains where leaving without orders meant certain death. Towering and broad-shouldered from his half-giant blood yet trained in the arts of stealth, he defied his clan by slipping away and relied on his invisibility and cunning to vanish into the world beyond. Although he wields massive weapons with ease, a swordspear and warmace meant for giants, his true edge lies in his sharp wit, dry humor, and devotion to Dayv Moby, god of luck and mischief. Shi relishes the irony of strangers unknowingly calling him "Death" and seeks to master every trade he can, his faith guiding him toward a life of chaos and freedom. Now settled on the borders of the Blighted Lands, he embraces the danger and mystery of living beside an undead-plagued wasteland, thriving where every step is a gamble.
