Benawi

ベナウィ

In the first part, Benawi serves as the Samurai Leader of Kenashikourupe. When Hakuoro's rebellion takes over Kenashikourupe, Benawi accepts defeat and kills the emperor to spare him from potential torture and humiliation. He then attempts suicide, but Hakuoro stops him, persuading him to join as his right-hand man. Benawi possesses a strong sense of responsibility toward his country. He maintains a calm and logical personality, though he becomes irritated when Hakuoro neglects his duties as a ruler. His primary weapon is a halberd, which he wields most effectively while mounted.
A man of conviction and morals, he believes that the people of a country should come first and is not afraid to tell even an emperor when he thinks they are making poor decisions. A cunning tactician, second only to Hakuro, Benawi can remain calm under pressure and adapt to unexpected changes during battle. Of all the characters, Benawi appears closest to a normal human in appearance, as his ears are never shown in the anime.
