Sorcerer's Misery
Hagane wears a green striped scarf and a blue-white capelet featuring a semicircle pattern over a black long-sleeved shirt that has a snug fit to Hagane. He also wears a blue belt with the buckle on the back and a blue-green banner with the symbols "速力" (sokuryoku) on it. He wears brownish-black pants and greenish boots with a gold stripe on it.

Personality
Hagane is a silent person who is easily annoyed. He is a lone wolf but he is somewhat social to his peers, helping them as a soldier rather than a friend. During Sorcerer's Misery, he's much more enraged due to the killings of his clan and made him talk much more than usual. He's merciless and vengeful upon this ordeal wanting to kill the antagonist on his own.

Using ninjutsu
Hagane as a ninja is capable of using a unique form of magic specialized for ninja--ninjutsu. Hagane is capable of using it, with one failed instance of it in his debut in Chapter V.

Story
It's not indicated at what specific time the clan was killed, but the Sokuryoku clan fell in the hands of Thanatos gan Ceann when Hagane wasn't around, making him the sole survivor.

Hagane started his debut in Chapter V, kidnapping Myrna and fighting Melvin and Francis in a fit of blinding rage. After talking it out with Melvin, Hagane joined them but only to sate his own revenge. He encounters several enemies, one of whom the very person who killed his clan. After finding and slaying the antagonist, Hagane goes back to Kurokau to lament and to restore himself.

Melvin and Hagane are friends but its explanation is unknown.

Kokuyougan no Kageken
