Isaya Shoto

Isaya Shouto is a 2000 year old pureblood vampire. He had just recently woken up from a 50 year slumber.

Background
Not much is known about Isaya's past, even though he is 2000 years old. But it seems that Isaya knew Juri Kuran before she passed away as he mentioned that she was like the very blaze of the sun. He is also old friends with Kaien Cross, which he seems to know that he has been raising Juri's child and also about his past as a vampire hunter.

Isaya also mentioned that he had a wife and children. They are believed to be deceased since Isaya's wife turned their offspring into humans. The offspring then turned old and passed away, leaving him all alone to become a spectator.

Personality
Isaya's personality is one that is very calm and collected. Isaya thinks things out rationally and has become very wise over the span of his long life. But it seems that he also has a comical side as shown with Kaien.

Summary
Isaya first appears when he introduces himself as the lord of the house whom Yuki Kuran and Hanabusa Aido were visiting. When Yuki introduces herself, she also mentions that it was a pity that he couldn't have come to the ball (he just recently woken up from his 50 year slumber). Isaya responds by saying that he heard that something unfortunate had happened to a hunter and Ouri, but directs his attention to what Yuki is hiding. When she pulled out Artemis, he calmly mentions what he heard about the Kurans giving birth to children from time to time that could wield a hunter's weapon. When inquiring why she had such a weapon with her, she responded by saying that she had finally made up her mind. She didn't want anymore purebloods sacrificing others, so that they could end their terribly long life. As one who can wield anti-vampire weapons capable of killing a pureblood vampire, she offers to end the lives of those who wish to die.

After hearing Yuki's speech, Isaya responds by saying that many people will view this as a reckless and foolish move; by coming visiting him, it would be just as likely that he could be the one to chop off her head instead. She says that she knows that this could have been the worst option to take, but even if it saves one person then it would be worth it. With that said she turns to leave, but before she can, Isaya asks if she could really kill someone with that thing. He backs up his question by saying that Yuki has the scent of sunshine far more then the scent of blood. After she reassures him that she could, she and Hanabusa leave Isaya's residence.

Once Yuki leaves, Isaya asks if it was okay to have let her leave without greeting Kaien, who had been hiding. Kaien reassures him, considering that he just saw her the other day. After Kaien finishes ranting about Yuki, the two get into a conversation of their past. Isaya mentions that when he first met him, he thought that that he would turn out just like himself and become a 'spectator on the sidelines', instead of causing ripples in the surface. He also says that he has too much time and nothing to do, something common among the purebloods. After their discussion, Kaien then leaves him, not wanting to interrupt his first meal in 50 years. He just dropped by to say hi and to warn him not to do anything that would cause the hunters to get even angrier then they our now. Once Kaien leaves, he finally has his first meal from awakening, served by his maid.
