Mozuku (criminal)
CharacterMozuku is the presumed leader of the gang operating out of Mokuzu Island. A greedy, ship-wrecking pirate at heart, his bravado evaporates the moment his intended victims survive and come looking for payback.
Appearance
Mozuku wears his long brown hair smooth across the top of his head while it juts out in spikes along the sides, above small dark eyes. A pair of glasses sits pushed up on his forehead, their strap partly black and partly green. His outfit is plain: a yellow short-sleeved shirt over grey trousers.
Personality
Mozuku is grasping and merciless, ready to sink any number of ships full of people for the sake of their cargo. He set out after the Konohagakure vessel brimming with confidence, only to lose his nerve entirely once he realised its passengers had lived and meant to strike back.
