Appearance

The instructors held distinct looks tied to their specialties. The sword master was a heavily built ninja whose skin bore many old wounds. Ninjutsu fell to a figure with long, jagged locks, while the one who arranged the lessons sported a mohawk. For the day of Flashy Flash's graduation trial, each of them threw ceremonial gowns over their shoulders.

Personality

These men were pitiless taskmasters who existed to hammer emotion out of the imprisoned children until only killers remained. Any hint of frailty drew their contempt; one of them berated the young Flash simply for weeping from pain when they cut off his sight.

History

The instructors served the Ninja Village as its trainers, converting stolen children into emotionless operatives destined to be sold to gangs and shadow organizations. When Flashy Flash rose up to tear down the village's rotten leadership, he swept through the entire staff, and every instructor died in the purge.

Little is documented about their combat skill, though their rank and station suggest seasoned fighters comfortable with a range of weapons.
