Tera
CharacterTera is a former operative of Root, the covert Anbu wing that answered to Danzo Shimura. Even after the faction is formally dissolved, his devotion to Danzo never wavers, and he carries out lethal assignments without question, including orders aimed at fellow Konoha shinobi.
Appearance
Like every Root recruit, Tera answers only to a codename, leaving his birth name, if he even has one, a blank. No individual likeness is set down for him.
Personality
Root conditioning strips its agents of feeling, and Tera fits the mold. His loyalty to Danzo is absolute: whatever the command, he obeys, and he will turn his blade on Konoha's own shinobi if that is what an order demands.

History
Though Root has been officially disbanded, Tera keeps serving its founder. Around the time of the Five Kage Summit, Danzo quietly hands him and Dajimu the task of killing Anko Mitarashi.
