Silcardo Jenazad served as the Demon Fist God of Yami's One Shadow Nine Fists and was the former master of Radin Tidat Jihan. He is typically depicted wearing Tidat attire and a distinctive demon mask, with tan-colored skin. During his battle with Hongou, the mask is completely destroyed. Beneath it, he appears as a dark-skinned man with a narrow jawline and shoulder-length hair, featuring bangs that frame the sides of his face and hang between his eyes.
Sadistic, amoral, insane, and sociopathic, Jenazad is a man consumed by his fame in his country. He genuinely believes himself to be a god among men and feels no hesitation about sacrificing people to advance his own goals, even taking delight in the suffering of others. Like other members of Yami, he regards his martial arts style as the strongest, referring to it as "Supreme Silat".
He maintains strict standards with high expectations for his disciples and followers, known for cold-heartedly disposing of those who fail him or simply do not meet his approval. This is evident when he triggers an avalanche to bury Jihan for failing to kill Kenichi quickly enough. He shows complete indifference to losing his disciple, boasting that he could easily train a replacement to Jihan's level. Regarding his own country and people, Jenazad cares nothing for them and has no issue abandoning them when they are injured or killed.
He is a battle-loving individual, repeatedly wanting to intervene and fight when he witnessed Sakaki battling Sehrul. Jenazad appears to enjoy watching good matches, such as the fights between Hongo and Sakaki, and between Kenichi and Miu. He possesses a unique "kakakakaka" laugh and seems to have a strong fondness for fruit; he is always seen eating it, even consuming a pineapple without concern for its sharp spines. He enjoys fruit to quench his so-called thirst. According to Hongou Akira, Jenazad follows the way of the Demon, a path not even Ryozanpaku or Yami follows, further highlighting his heartlessness in battle. Notably, he has no qualms about opposing both Ryozanpaku and Yami simultaneously, claiming that Yami was merely a "temporary truce between masters". His arrogance nearly cost him his life in his fight with Hongou. When he let his guard down, believing Hongou to be dead, Hongou rose again. Jenazad almost died because he underestimated him, and he was eventually killed when Hongou tricked him by using the same move again, leading to his death due to his arrogance.
Jenazad seems to hold a grudge against Fuurinji Hayato, as demonstrated when he attempted to brainwash Hayato's granddaughter, who was still able to hold back during her fight with Kenichi. However, a flashback involving the elder implies that the two may have once been friends, suggesting that Jenazad taught the Elder Tidat medicine. This hatred extends to Hayato's bloodline, as he blames it for preventing her from being fully under his control. This animosity may also stem from their former comradeship and his possible defeat at the hands of the Elder, prompting him to seek revenge on his granddaughter. Jenazad has also developed a dislike for Kenichi, seeing Hayato in him and viewing Kenichi as a reason he cannot completely control Miu.
At some point in Jenazad's youth, he completed his training in Pencak Silat by killing his master in battle. His master's dying words were congratulations, calling him a perfect warrior who would unlikely ever meet someone stronger. He also warned Jenazad that if he ever met defeat, the reason would not be greater might or skill, but most likely greater tenacity towards martial arts.
About thirty years before the start of the series, Jenazad participated in a war against a Western power, leading a guerrilla unit on the front line. Having single-handedly saved his country from near-extinction, he rose to earn the name Demon Fist God. Despite the fame he gained, he grew uncomfortable with the steady and peaceful era he had unknowingly created. Seeking to restore his country to its war-torn state, he began discreetly sowing conflict among his people to utilize his skills again. Furthermore, in his goal to grow ever stronger, he had his subordinates fight and kill each other to advance Silat.
