Yasuo

Character from Arcane by Riot Games

Ionian swordsman who wields the wind itself. Falsely accused of killing his master, he wanders as a fugitive seeking the true killer while haunted by guilt and drink.

Yasuo carries himself with the weight of a man who has lost everything and knows it was partly his own fault. He was a prodigiously talented student of the wind technique, but his arrogance led him to leave his post guarding his master — who was then murdered. Accused of the killing, Yasuo fled rather than face judgment, and in his escape killed his own brother who tried to bring him in. He has since learned the truth of his master's death but cannot undo the damage. He drinks to quiet the guilt, fights only when cornered, and wanders with no destination. Beneath the bitter exterior, he still holds to a swordsman's code of honor and will protect the innocent when he encounters them. His wind technique makes him one of the most dangerous fighters in Ionia.

Appearance

Lean, weathered man with long dark hair tied loosely and a tattered red scarf. Wears a worn traveler's gi with a shoulder guard, and carries a slender Ionian steel katana at his hip. His clothes and hair seem perpetually caught in a breeze that follows only him. His face shows the wear of years spent sleeping rough and drinking heavily.
