Personality: Outwardly, Sagi is a very friendly man. He makes conversation rather openly, and does what he can to remember names and faces. He seems to be helpful and trustworthy more often than not. Though, his kindness is not to be mistaken as weakness, for earning his trust can be quite difficult. It would not be a stretch to infer that he would be a good ally to have. The fact that he fights alongside the most noble Daimyo in the country only confirms that.

In reality, Sagi is a deceitful man, taking the side of the Azai purely due to the fact that it is highly unlikely his force would fall early in the war. He, along with his brother, uses the strength of the Azai to his advantage, seizing the opportunity to grow as a warrior and strategist without much of a fear of death.

The Shiro Yasha, as he has been called several times in his past, is a very calculating person who pays close attention to detail. He weighs his options before every decision, and, should it benefit himself or his men, he would not hesitate to sacrifice a few lives for the whole. This may seem cruel, but on the flip-side, there will be times when he would risk life and limb to save the life of a single man or woman.

The intentions and goals of both of the Shinrai brothers remains a mystery, even to those closest to them.

History: Sagi was a strange boy who grew up in a poor farming family, of which he had his two parents (of course), his twin brother Sakkaku, and his two younger sisters. They were dealt a bad hand, and Sagi was always the eye of ridicule due to his strange hair and eye color (which were eventually said to be because he had a powerful connection to the Gods themselves, but in reality were due to recessive genes in the family line being passed onto him). Despite these difficulties and being so poor, they were incredibly happy, especially because of the random gifts they'd receive from an ex-Hojo mercenary by the name of Amakusa Takehiro. These gifts helped them get through the toughest times, so even with the unstable economy and the war-state the country was in, they managed to make things work. The Shinrai family was a happy one, regardless of their shortcomings. Things couldn't always work out, however.

When Sagi and Sakkaku were 13 years old, they and their sisters experienced one of the most traumatic events of their lives. Apparently their father owed a debt to a local Daimyo, and he was unable to pay it. Because of this, the Daimyo sent a small amount of men to destroy the Shinrai home, and kill the entire family. The parents were murdered brutally before the eyes of the children, and the children were then brutally beaten to a point where they were believed to be dead. Within an inch of their lives, Sagi and Sakkaku managed to recover from their beatings and save the lives of their sisters, but their parents were already dead. The memory of identity of the men who ruined their family was foggy, but the act of the Daimyo placed a firm, powerful hatred of the higher class of the entire country in the minds of the two.

In an attempt to get their lives on track, Sagi and Sakkaku migrated to another fief with their sisters. They wound up in another small farming village, but the place was a good one. For the next four years, they managed to be happy again, despite the trauma they faced a short time ago. Their sisters took much more time to recover, but it was a working process.

But the two could never get a break.

One day, when Sagi and Sakkaku were out at the market, an official from a local Daimyo was in town. He spotted the Shinrai sisters in their home alone, and raped and murdered the young girls. The twins got back home just in time to see the man fleeing the scene, but once again, they could not make out the Mon he bore. Sagi, like his brother, was overcome with grief and rage at the loss of his entire family at the hands of the men who were supposed to protect their subjects. From then on, there was no chance of mental recovery.

The Shinrai twins, now with a hatred for the entire higher class of Nippon, found themselves allied with the Azai. The reason behind this was simple: of all Daimyo, the Azai were the least likely to have caused them harm, and Lord Nagamasa was a powerful man who would likely not fall easily in the times of chaos. Sagi and Sakkaku would use the resources of the Azai to grow in strength, and when the time came, exact their revenge on the entire country.
