Isaya Shoto

= Isaya Shouto = 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 Shouto's past, even though he is 2000 years old. But it seems that Shouto 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.

He also mentioned that he had a wife, who is believed to be deceased since she had turned their offspring into humans. And said offspring has turned old and passed away, leaving him all alone to become a spectator.

Personality
Shouto's personality is one that is very calm and collected. He 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
Shouto first appears when he introduces himself as the lord of the house whom Yuki Cross and Hanabusa Aidou 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). He 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 reponded with 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, he 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, Shouto 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 Aidou leave Shouto's residence.

Once Yuki leaves, Shouto 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. Shouto 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 wanted to interupt 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.
