Black Carl Sasuga

THE Oyabun Carl Jorge Smith (a.k.a. Sasuga Sasuga (Dagger As Expected))

Try that again and I'll have your hide hanging on my wall.
— Black Carl

The half-demon, known as Black Carl Sasuga, controls the war-torn Meridian Verse and tracked his former minion, ShyRedFox, to the Tomeverse. He heads the Ghost Fox yakuza clan and is known for his cruel efficiency.
When he smiles, watch out! (Or better yet, hide from his cruelty!)

Characteristics

Voice

His voice is smooth and deep. When he turns on "the charm" the tones turn hypnotic and he can convince any living being to do his bidding. He's tried on the dead, but had little success.

Supernatural speed

Thanks to a berserker rage and his father's genetics.

Loyalty to HIM is first

His grip on the clan is absolute and he expects every member to give their all, even to the point of death. If he says the crow is white, then it IS white. There is no compromise. He shows favor only to those he wishes and his favorites change on a whim.

Motivations

Expand the reach of his power to the Tomeverse and beyond.
Find his father and likely kill him for being absent.
Bring back his mother from the dead. (He's ready to cross the Sanzu River, wade through the snake infested water, and storm the 7 hells to retrieve her.)

Personal History

Youth

Carl was born to a human mother and demon father. His mother always said she loved his father, but the father was absent from Carl's life. She never said much more about his father, except he looked just like him, right down to the eyes and horns. His mother did her best to provide for Carl, but he grew so fast and there was never enough for him to eat.
So he started fighting for money. First it was boxing, but it turned to increasingly violent sports and finally to gladiator style bouts where people bet on how long he'd last. Fast, ruthless, efficient was his fighting style. His ring name was Black Dagger, after his weapon of choice and his ringside demeanor.

First Conquest

When Jo Jun, a member of the Ghost Fox clan saw Carl fight, he recruited the young gladiator.
Carl quickly rose in rank to be the top general of the Ghost Fox clan. After the clan's leader died from a mysterious illness on the day after Carl's mother passed away, he defeated and executed the otherclan generals because they refused to bow to him. That day he become the new Oyabun.

Interactions with ShyRedFox

Yet to complete for page:

His dad will turn out to be some demon baker or something and he and Carl's mother went separate ways. She feared his power (despite his simple trade) and kept Carl from meeting him.
