Kowara

Kowara (壊羅) is the first Kazekage of Sunagakure, and its founder. Early in his life, due to the events of the Negau Insurrection, he was sent off to the Land of Wind's capital as a ward under Moshiku Nogan, the 9th Kamikazetei. It was there that he initially learned from the royal guards of the Kamikazetei's palace. Once he was of age, he was tasked with an army to exterminate the Negau Clan and all of its retainers, including his estranged family. The success of the mission went without hinderance, and his loyalty to the Land of Wind was ensured. Despite this, and his burgeoning abilities, he was never sworn into the Ōken. Instead, his life would play a different story as he was instated as a militaristic regent until a proper clan lord could be instated as Daimyō. The search took years, and frequently coalitions formed in rebellion to seek vengeance against Kowara and his army.

All of the rebellions were quickly undone by Kowara, although he was merciful towards the rebels. His methods frequently involved taking the lord's children as wards. Only some were executed when their parent's acted out of line. Two years ago, Konohagakure was founded by Jinaku Inuzuka, the former leader of the Black Wolves. In response to this, the Kamikazetei granted Kowara the status of Daimyō within Shajūka, dubbing him as the Land of Wind's Kazekage. During this time, Kowara searched for where Sunagakure would one day exist while also requesting the loyalty of his army to settle with him as his retainers within Suna. Once a location was found, he and his army settled within their new lands and Sunagakure was finally established. Since then, Suna has slowly been built up. While it has taken root as the new capital of Shajūka, Kowara fears that something else may have taken root during his focus on establishing the new hidden village. While its hard to say what exactly what it is, he knows for certain that a part of it is his past catching up with him.

Personality
Kowara is a thinker who borders between being either brooding or unsettling. Years of service to the Kamikazetei have made him tactful, both as a leader and fighter. He possesses many virtues that he refined with his extensive service in the Order of the Divine Flame. With running Sunagakure, there come few times that he is able to relax. Yet, when he can, he often shows a sublime sense of happiness and gratitude to those within the village. During the weekends, he personally takes journeys across all parts of the village to personally help his people where he can. Otherwise, he is overseeing projects of building up Sunagakure while attending other businesses to manage the Shajūka region as a whole.
