Asura is the first generation kishin and Great Old One whose affinity to madness resides in the madness of fear. Born as Death's eldest son and as a fragment containing his fear for Death to be the God of Absolute Order. He formerly served as a warlord of the Eight Reaper Legions as its strongest member until he betrayed the group, and became a Kishin. He was then sealed away by his father and remained sealed until his revival by Medusa's Faction. As the physical embodiment of fear, Asura's behavior is extremely inconceivable; one minute he seemingly has a completely calm and cool demeanor, and the next he is both maniacal and senseless. Interestingly enough, this can be seen when Asura covers his face, he tends to act erratically and is unpredictable, making him especially dangerous. However, unmasked, he is almost the opposite. He displays a much more calm and "sane" demeanor, even displaying sarcasm. Asura views mankind as nothing more than Death's puppets, finding that what's considered normal and insane to be born of Death's whims. He also considers Death and those who want to become what is known as a "true reaper" like Death the Kid to be tyrants. Despite his conflicting and immoral views, he seems to not understand those who possess strong will even in the presence of someone more powerful, causing him legitimate confusion. Despite his sinister intentions, Asura also appears to possess a strange, hidden sense of humor.
