Matenrō

"A dog's a pretty apt way to put it. I've conscripted myself to the fate of working with my head bowed down and earning no reward as compensation. A pitiful existence that serves me far too kindly."

- Matenrō explaining his existence.

Matenrō (摩天狼, Matenrō), otherwise known as during his tenure in Sorane, is a direct subordinate of the 's. He is recognized by select few as the Dog of the Daimyō (大名の犬, Daimyō no Inu), and is a being truly unworthy to be called a human, for his will has been morphed into no more than subservience. Through his successful integration in Sorane, Matenrō managed to capture Yūki, a prominent and dangerous priestess, and keep her under his supervision under the Daimyō's orders. As such, he currently performs all of his duties while controlling the actions the woman is able to take.

In another tale, Sorane was a non-existent organization. Matenrō, as the direct subordinate of the Lightning Daimyō, has been subject to tasks of various natures to ensure that the Land of Lightning, and by extension, wrest power over all the other countries.
