Shiso, Mikagi

始祖ミカギ

A man from Japan's Jōmon period and the founder of the Mikage family. According to legend, he hid her hagoromo in the ocean, forcing her to become mortal. Near the end, it is revealed that he started out as a gentle, kind young man. Ceres falls in love with him, even granting him power after their family is attacked and he feels ashamed of his inability to protect them. As Shiso grows stronger, he goes mad, and his love turns into an obsession that drives him to hide the hagoromo, causing Ceres to fear for her children's safety. When she leaves, he chases her and is killed by Ceres (after he kills their first child), who covers him with lacerations identical to those that appear on Aki Mikage when Mikagi manifests himself in his descendant. He will stop at nothing to ensure Ceres is his again.
