Name: Escanor | Nickname: Jaguar's Sin of Pride | Gender: Male | Age: 40 | Clan: Hyuga
Looks: Escanor is a large, muscular man that easily towers over lesser men. His attire is a suit commonly worn by bartenders and although slightly baggy, does appear to fit his form far better than his previous attire. He temporarily wore spectacles during his retirement. Ten years ago, he wore a suit of full body armor with a unique helm, which he keeps in storage for when the time its needed. He has golden orange hair and an elegant mustache as well. A large jaguar tattoo is located on his back.
Personality: Escanor's personality changes drastically along with his strength between day and night. At night, he is skiddish, submissive and unfailingly polite. Whereas in the day he is arrogant, boastful, and domineering, he also takes it upon himself to deliver judgement to those he feels have sinned, such as those that toy with feelings. Both personalities seem to be truly him and he remembers everything he does in either, though at night he has chastised himself for losing control during the day. Even with his prideful personality he still cares for his comrades, but in his own way. Escanor also doesn't particularly desire anything, as when competing in a tournament for any prize he desires, he simply stated he would like to deliver alcohol for that tournament and not compete, despite his power. During the day Escanor's pride and attitude is such that he never holds hatred in his heart to anyone, as he doesn't hold hatred to those beneath him, he only pities them. His pride is also unfailing as when his own blow got reflected to him with greater power, he isn't surprised he got injured by his own attacks.

History: Escanor's mother was a high ranking member of the Hyuga clan's side branch. For a long time she looked down on herself as she was always taught the main branch of the clan was superior. Though she was aware of the absurdity in this belief, she still couldn't escape it; it was etched into her body through a seal on her forehead. As Escanor's third birthday approached she became more panicked by the thought of her child being engraved with the same mark. Three days before the ceremony, she convinced Escanor's father to flee with her and Escanor and live outside the clan. Their attempted departure was discovered, forcing Escanor's father to stand his ground and buy time for Escanor and his mother to escape. It was difficult for Escanor's mother to find a new home following their departure from Konoha. Going to any of the other main villages or their allies meant certain discovery. Instead she ended up settling down in Amegakure in a village on the outskirts. While it was a dangerous place, it was also a place where people were able to disappear. Its here that Escanor was raised.
His mother was never properly trained in ninjutsu or taijutsu while in Konoha, but she was still able to pick up some fighting technique from observing others. Using these skills she did her best to protect Escanor and teach him how to fend for himself. Eventually the duty of protecting the family was transferred from her to Escanor. Around this time, Escanor came to be friends with a female shinobi, Akiza of the Black Rose. She was a talented kunoichi and took Escanor under her wing, teaching him a wide variety of ninja combat styles from the basics to even more advanced techniques. She recognized Escanor's byakugan from past battles she had with Hyuga clan members. Escanor's mother had never explained to him why they left Konoha or really anything about the Hyuga clan. During one training episode Akiza revealed the history of his Byakugan to him and told him if he wanted to unlock his eye's true potential he should return to Konoha and seek training. Escanor understood, and knew living in the small village was not safe for him nor his mother. However when explaining the situation to his mother, she refused to leave with him, as she came to call Amegakure home. Akiza offered to watch over Escanor's mother while he made the journey she knew he had to go on. And so he embarked on a journey to his home.
After leaving the Hidden Rain village, Escanor wandered through a large and rainy forest. The forest only seemed to become more dense while the trees stretched to unimaginable heights. Much to Escanor's surprise he came to a large clearing filled with a massive city of stone temples. It seemed deserted as they walked down the main road, but something was off. Escanor activated his Byakugan as a precaution, and it paid off. Two bodies crept towards him from his sides, and lunged at him, claws and fangs exposed. In a quick battle he was able to defeat the two cat-like beasts. Upon doing so a booming voice echoed through the city, "Xblanaque, Hunahpu......Enough!". The two Jaguars dragged themselves to their feet and looked at Escanor. One of them spoke, "Its been a long time since a human was able to defeat us, stranger. I believe Tez-sama wishes to speak with you." The Jaguar motioned Escanor to follow, and proceeded towards the largest temple at the end of the main road.
They entered the temple which opened into a huge chamber. In a large stone throne sat a massive jaguar, who introduced himself as Tezcatlipoca, the God of Jaguars. Tezcatlipoca explained to Escanor that he had wandered into their sacred city, Tenochtitlan, of the Nakukiurin (Crying Tree Rainforest); something that no human had done for many years. He thought it was fate that guided him along that hidden path and he was impressed by Escanor's ability and decided to train him in the Jaguar arts, and let him sign the contract which none had done since a Kunoichi named Sin had done so. Over the next several months Escanor and his mother stayed in this city, learning the secrets of the Jaguars. After the training was complete it came time for Escanor's departure.
After departing the forest, Escanor met several more shinobi. A man named Chiryoku helped further develop his taijutsu. A particularly unique, and somewhat scary man named Nexus invited Escanor to join his medical school. Seeing this as a unique opportunity, Escanor joined the school and studied hard during the first few semesters. But at some point Escanor began to slack off and discovered his love of alcohol. He ignored his studies, resulting in his premature expulsion from the school. Apparently upon expulsion the mysterious man used some sort of amnesia ninjutsu on Escanor, causing him to forget all the medical training and knowledge he had learned. The trip had taken longer than he had expected, but the delays were well worth it, as he had become a powerful ninja.
Escanor finally reached the village of Konoha and revealed his story to the Hokage of that time, Xylon, the Shodaime. He was given safe haven in the village and even given full citizenship. He quickly became assimilated into the shinobi force of the village and began developing strong bonds with the rest of the village. One man in particular, Scorps, was a promising young leaf shinobi. He also happened to be of the Hyuga clan. Escanor became friends with Scorps and eventually learned to use his unique eyes to the fullest, and was taught the gentle fist fighting style. Not long after he arrived the Shodaime defected, and disappeared. A power vacuum was quickly filled by an ambitious, but unstable man named the Pervy Sage, who became the Nidaime Hokage. It was a short lived and tumultuous period in the village. Soon after taking control of the village, The Pervy Sage went mad with power. The village fell into chaos as Pervy did everything in his power in an attempt to destroy it, though his true motives were much more human. Pervy was desperately trying to gain the attention of the mysterious man who had once taught Escanor his medical knowledge, Nexus. However, once he did, Nexus' wrath was swift. He brought thee ban hammer down upon Pervy, with all of its might and fury. Some say a smile could be seen on the Nidaime's face just before the hammer made contact, and vaporized his body.
With the Nidaime dispatched, a village wide vote was held to decide who his successor would be. It was a lengthy and nerve racking process, much of the village took this time to leave for greener pastures, but the loyal ones stayed. Much to Escanor's surprise the village elected him to be the Sandaime Hokage. Escanor was unsure at first whether he was Hokage material, but the support of the villagers quickly removed any uncertainty. The village entered a period of great cultural and economic prosperity, rebuilding its shattered structure. It was peaceful; the embodiment of the Will of Fire. But despite the happiness of its villagers the military force never recovered to pre-Pervy levels. This forced Konoha into alliances with several of the other hidden villages. This hidden alliance quickly pulled Konoha into a devastating war. Following the plans of a hidden mist kunoichi, Liliana, the leaf went to war and attacked Kumogakure along with members from other villages. This however was nothing but a trap set forth by the cunning mind of Liliana. Once the top shinobi of several villages laid siege to Kumogakure, the Mizukage stabbed them in the back. With the help of several of her ninja she set up a powerful forbidden jutsu set to destroy the entire village, everyone inside included. However, due to some....technical issues, the betrayal failed. Everyone returned to their villages and the alliance was shattered.
Over the next several months the actions of the Akatsuki increased, and Konoha was destroyed on several occasions. Rumors spread that the former Hokages, both Xylon and a recently revived Pervy were heading the organization. It was a difficult time but the hearts of Konoha stayed strong and everyone continued to enjoy themselves. Not long after Escanor's 21st birthday he recieved a visit from Nexus. He was told that due to Konoha's apparent lack of military strength he would be re-creating the village hierarchy. Part of this plan was for Escanor to step down from his position as hokage, giving way for a powerful and legendary shinobi named Izuna Uchiha. While it wasn't the best of news, Escanor was somewhat relieved. The duties of protecting the village from constant attack had worn him down, and he was ready to move on. He knew the village was better off under Izuna and so he stepped down, retiring from the Hokage position.
The village went through an almost instantaneous renaissance. Not only had Izuna been made Hokage, but another legendary ninja named Scary Yamato had come with him as an adviser. Izuna also selected a Konoha shinobi as his second adviser, Scorps. Escanor was also given the honor of setting up a village tournament for the shinobi. Despite the restructuring, the surge in akatsuki activity continued to plague the ninja world. Each of the five villages felt the heat from this group of spineless criminals. Seeing that the issue needed to be dealt with, the villages formed their own group, Tasogare. At the first meeting of the group Escanor was skeptical. He couldn't help but be apprehensive due to the fact those who backstabbed him, Alucard and Liliana, during his stint as Hokage were sitting across the table. It was tense at first, but after some words of reassurance, Escanor was able to settle down. The group discussed ways to deal with the group of criminals and found a lead on one of their hideouts. Scorps and Liliana departed to follow the trail and came upon one of the hideouts. Upon investigating they found that it had been abandoned. The cowards of Akatsuki had felt the duo's approach and fled the scene in fear.
Some time after those events, Escanor had retired to a life of drinking and leisure. He had even opened his own bar where he could share he love of drink with others. He had even left Konoha and took up residence in the Land of Wind, in a village where his father had been from. It was another side of his family's past that he had yet to explore, but he dove in head first. At some point he had even joined Sunagakure and become an adviser to their Kage, Gaara. After a war in which Gaara was gravely wounded, Escanor left the village and returned to Konoha. He reconnected with his old clan and continued to run his tavern, My Sweet Gluttony. One day a man arrived at the bar who knew Escanor's father. He revealed that his father had been a talented user of the Scorch element, and that the ability should be latent within Escanor. Desiring to increase his strength, Escanor set out to find someone to teach him this new ability.
