Yasai

Summary
Descended from a long line of elite Henshin warriors and leaders; Yasai was, for a good portion of his life, the foremost warrior of the Henshin army. Ascending through its ranks like his ancestors had before him, Yasai eventually came to be a member of the Royal Henshin Council, an elite government organisation that advised the Henshin royal family directly.

Through a series of deceptions and extensive plans, Yasai eventually facilitated his power as the leading member of the Council, becoming by far its most prominent member. Yasai was, through his incredibly divisive views regarding the royals, responsible for leading Planet Sino into a devastating civil war, the third Henshin Civil War.

Leading the Henshin "Republicans" against the Henshin military, who remained loyal to the Crown, Yasai gained a reputation as being one of the Republicans greatest military strategists, and after a conference in the Republican controlled region of Apaltros, Yasai ratified a treaty with the other Republican leaders which stated that if the Republicans won the War, Yasai would become Planet Sino's de facto Head of State, with another high-ranking official standing as the Head of Government.

One of these leaders was a Henshin warrior named Aikkon, one of Yasai's closest advisors and allies. Responsible for seeing the Republicans reach their zenith in the early days of the war, many believed that Aikkon would become Sino's Head of Government were the Republicans to win war.

After years of bloody battles, political discourse and mutiny the Republicans eventually prevailed in their cause, transforming Sino into a democracy with Yasai leading it through its debilitating "Recovery Era". However, the sheer amount of political instability in post-war Sino lead to Yasai becoming extremely paranoid, engineering the death or imprisonment of many of his political rivals before overseeing Sino become a police state.

Aikkon would not go untouched by Yasai's paranoia. Orchestrating a failed military operation that would be headed by Aikkon, Yasai pinned the blame on his once greatest ally, exiling him to the remote planet Earth.
