History
During the auction raid, his squad ran into Roma Hoito, and Shibashi identified her as a member of the Clowns. Treating her as a prize worth seizing, he brushed aside Shimoguchi's instructions and ordered his people to attack. The gamble undid him: a wounded Roma played at being helpless, then ran him through with her kagune the moment he let his guard down. His swift rise to Rank 1 at the age of twenty-four, which Shimoguchi noted, points to real skill cut short. In the operation reports he carries the trait pursuit.
