Shouwei is the Head Butler to the Zhi siblings and a ghoul of Chinese decent. He is the "Rook" of The Red Sun and currently lives and works at the Ivory Castle Estate in the 20th Ward.
Appearance
Shouwei is tall at 6' with tan skin darker than most of the other residents of the Estate. He has distinct chiseled features and a heavily muscled build, especially around the arms and chest. He is rarely seen out of uniform.
Personality
Shouwei feels no doubt and empathy for most. He is cold and focused, willing to tell others off of necessary regardless of rank or title. This makes him an excellent Head Butler and an unquestioning killer. He believes ethics and morals are pointless even among humans, and that among ghouls they serve absolutely no purpose. Power and knowledge is what he finds important. If he’s ordered to do something, he may as well get it done effectively. He has a short, explosive temper which more often than not vented in sudden bursts of violence, although this is always done away from the eyes of the siblings. He is intelligent, if single-minded, he isn’t known for multi-tasking. However, he can plan meticulously with one aim in mind.
Brainwashed from a young age, deep inside he resents those who have set him in this position.
He doesn’t speak often.

Powers and Abilities
Kagune
Shouwei's kagune is a koukaku, taking the form of two massive steel shields that he wields on both arms. They are wider than himself, and extremely hardy, but this is paid for in their weight and unwieldy nature. Regardless of this Shouwei is well versed in the use of his kagune shields, and can use them with relative ease. They do not change size however, so are awkward to use in confined spaces. The shields have two spikes on the lower side of the shield that allow them to dig into the landscape, or enemy flesh.
