Heki
CharacterHeki is a jonin serving Kirigakure who spent much of his career fighting beside Ao. In later years he shifted toward supporting the village's leadership, aligning himself with the elder Genji and keeping a watchful eye on the Mizukage's conduct.
Appearance
The brown haori draped over Heki marks him as one of Kirigakure's shinobi. His eyes are dark, and rather than wear his headband in the usual fashion, he shapes the grey Kirigakure forehead protector into a hat.
Personality
A lifetime of combat has made Heki a seasoned fighter who reads an engagement with a practised eye. His choice to back the village through its politics, standing close to the elder Genji, points to a sharp and calculating mind as much as a martial one.
History
Heki once served as Ao's partner, and the two shared a long run of battles together. In time he turned his focus toward supporting Kirigakure from within, becoming a trusted ally of Genji, one of the village's elders. When the Fifth Mizukage prepared to leave for the Kage Summit, Heki approached Ao and Chojuro, asking the pair to keep their leader from any behaviour that might embarrass the village at so weighty a gathering.
