Kenshin Himura, AKA Battousai the manslayer.
Kenshin Himura was captured from his parents and enslaved as a child. he never knew a life of slavery, however, because the night of his capture, his capturers were all murdered by bandits. Before Kenshin was killed, however, the master of the Iten Mitsurugi sword style happened by and saved him.

Feeling pity for the young boy, the Item Mitsurugi master took him as an apprentice and taught him the sword style. Over time, Kenshin became one of the greatest swordsmen in Japan, but he broke off his training to help usher in the Meige Era of japan durring the revolution as Battousai, Manslayer in the Shadows.

durring the Revolution, Kenshin killed more people than he could count. after the Revolution had completed, however, he threw away his sword in favor of a reverse-edged blade and became a wanderer, vowing never to kill again as retribution for all the lives he had taken.
