| abstract | - A devout follower of the Death Gods, Shizuka Hoshoku (Silent Predator, 捕食シズカ, Hoshoku Shizuka) is a killer of men. Descending from a family of mythological monks, Shizuka possesses the knowledge of the old myths of the Death God, and believes it to be the governing force on Earth. Holding this belief at his core, he takes it upon himself to be the Reaper's Living Scythe claiming souls in the name of Death. The one who reaps and weaponizes souls, he is known as a Reaper and Necromancer amongst those who live. A reader of ancient texts, he is quite knowledgeable in the ways of death, and the "Will of the Shinigami", among other things, such as its myths and origins. Aware of the power of the god he worships, he mimics its power in his fighting style, resulting in a scary shinobi. One very capable of killing most who stand in his way. For his unique powers, many regard his as the God of Death manifested; they call this murderer of men, the Divine Will of the Death God (死神の神意, Shinigami no Shini), as he seems to carry the tools of the Death Gods themselves, using them to achieve amazing power and bring do the deeds the Gods of Death wants him to perform. As the chosen one for the various Shinigami, Shizuka possesses a status stronger than that of his predecessor, Hidan. While unknown to most, he is loosely affiliated, but prominent in the Black Crown. However, he is not truly loyal to them either, only in it for the high-profile killings, and then eventually getting the chance to kill the Shinju itself if possible.
