Personality
Owen, although cunning and clever, has a very unhinged personality due to his manic depression and Trauma, but behind all that, Owen is a good hearted individual that knows the rights and wrongs of this world, He is a fierce fighter and a very loyal companion, and will keep getting back up even if he knows he will lose, he prefers effort over strategy, and resorts to brute force whenever he needs to.

He is an extremely loyal friend, and an even ferocious opponent, he fights with elegance but sometimes has enough and resorts to his trusty blade to do the dirty work.

He is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat, his fighting style consists of powerful kicks and flurries of punches, and sometimes grappling maneuvers, even though experienced, his real talent is with a knife, he utilizes it to the maximum and slashes through his opponents, he channels his heat into his knife to use it as a conductor for electrical currents, potentially stunning or paralyzing his victims.

He commonly reminds others where their place is, and isn't afraid to show them, he is a commanding individual ,which is the main reason he was chosen as the Clan Captain by S. Hamazaki Himself. He is very brave and won't back down to anyone other than his superiors.

Even behind that manic facade, he observes etiquette and is a well mannered individual, due to his experiences as a manager in a club.

To your own men? You disappoint me. " Owen could not speak as he was in shock. The Boss walked up to Judas, who was patiently standing, and handed him the knife. " Do whatever you want, just don't let'im die." The boss whispered, Judas grinned and walked up to Owen, who was all chained up and shackled on a pillar. He tried to get the boss's attention by screaming, but the boss did not care, he left and closed the basement door. Everyone was watching Judas walk to Owen, " Well well, who's been a bad boy? " he said in a menacing tone. " It's not too late to redeem yourself y'know? The boss told me that I could do ANYTHING to you as long as you're alive, so then, plead for mercy, cry while you're at it! " Owen was irritated and responded with " I'd rather lose an eye than bow to a rambly bitch like you! " and proceeded to spit on Judas's face, both were equally angry, Judas grabbed Owen's face and pry opened his eyelid and shouted " You LITTLE SHIT! If that's how ya want it.. THEN HAVE IT YOUR WAY MOTHER-FUCKER!" and stabbed Owen in the eye, Owen screamed in agony as everyone cheered for Judas, He was defeated.

" repeatedly, until he was sedated by one of the guards, as he calmed down, they opened the door, where the boss was sitting. " Look who's here. " The boss said, Owen looked distraught, deranged, and disturbed. he collapsed on his knees, as the flashbacks were hitting him, he stood there staring with a blank expression, The Boss was concerned for him and tried asking him but he was soon cut off by Owen, who was screaming for help, everyone in the room panicked and the guards took him away, Owen never wanted to go back there ever again.
