Nico Ruiz

Nico Ruiz (nee-koh ree-ez) is the major antagonist of Season 4. He is the mastermind behind the slaughter of his own village, including his brother Nico. He is the foster brother of Airi who took her in after she lost her parents in Florence. He is the sole reason for Faria's Androphobia and the loss of Ariel's arm. He is also found to be the murderer of both Ariel and Faria after the Trial arc as well as Captain Ryker.

=Characteristics= Nico Ruiz has a lighter tan skin tone than his brother. He has short black hair and brown eyes. He wears a brown-orange t-shirt with a light brown jacket. He has a scar on his left cheek that he often hides with makeup.

=Personality= Nico is very controlling and power-hungry, He will do anything, even kill his own family, to achieve power. When he does have power, he acts as if it's not enough, working towards even greater power. He is very misogynist, thinking all women are weak. That is why he forces Airi to dress like a man in her training. He does love one woman, however. Faria Silva is his target. He doesn't love her for her personality though, he only likes her for her body. He is a cold, angry man many will describe as "evil". The only thing that truly interests him, besides power itself, is the Seven Swordsman. This is because the Seven Swordsman is considered the most powerful Human to ever exist. Little does Nico know the Seven Swordsman is never a Human, but always a hybrid. His dream of becoming the Seven Swordsman is nothing but fantasy.

=Backstory= TBD

=Relationships=
 * Shiro Jigoku - Nico absolutely despises everything Shiro stands for. He only kinda tolerates him because he is the Seven Swordsman.
 * Airi Rivena - Nico sees Airi as inferior, but he finds use in the power she wields. He is very strict on her, forcing her to become a man and to put power over everything. Despite his cold personality, he does feel a sorta familial bond to the blonde-haired girl.
 * Faria Silva - Nico claims to be in love with Faria, despite only liking her for her body. His only dream is to make her his sex slave, though he is devastated when he accidentally kills her.
