Mantis Esen

Mantis Esen is a mysterious and dangerous hitman. His weapons of choice are a pair of armored gauntlets loaded with wind dust, Wendy & Striker (also dubbed the Twins).

Appearance
Mantis is a light-tan young man with light red eyes and bright green hair.

His outfit of choice usually consists of a basic shirt and pants and boots. Over that he wears his signature jacket with long coat tails and long sleeves. He wears this when not in combat, resembling a mantis insect. When about to enter combat, he throws the jacket off in dramatic fashion.

Personality
Those who have associated with Mantis gather he is quite full of himself and confident in his abilities. He is sneaky, sly, and always seems to be reading his surroundings in even the most calm of situations. Mantis also seems to enjoy his job as a hitman. His emotions seem to flare the most when he's in combat. He enjoys a good fight and hates when his job is made "easy" by a helpless target. If he's going to go for the kill, he wants a fight.

Weapon
Under Mantis jacket he hides his gauntlets Wendy and Striker, also known simply as The Twins. These technologically advanced gauntlets are light yet durable. Along the back of the hand the gauntlet holds compartments for wind dust to be filled into. Because of this, the gauntlets aren't only good for blocking blows and shots, but also for offense.

Mantis is able to swing his arms to throw blades of wind at a target. He is also able to generate miniature windstorms to either blow away his enemies, dodge a projectile or blow, or even propel himself into the air. While in the air, Mantis can use the gauntlets to glide in any direction. He is not able to fly with the gauntlets.

History
Not much is known about Mantis. He keeps his history to himself and reveals as much as he wants his associates--or targets--to know. What is known is how advanced he is in combat for a young man. It is often rumored he was a former student of one of the four academies in Remnant training to become a Huntsman. For whatever reason, he is now a hitman and keeps on the downlow.
