Family[]

  • Enshou's wife: He knew his future-wife when she was still married to his older brother. Following the death of her first husband, the two married, and she soon became pregnant with their first child. Unknown to her, Enshou had played a role in her husband's death, as he had intentionally ignored his brother's distress call when his ship was being attacked. Having loved his brother's wife for some time, Enshou chose to abandon him so that he could be the one at her side. Seeing his wife bravely push through her grief brought great guilt and shame to Enshou such that he spent more and more time on the battlefield to avoid facing what he'd done. When she was killed along with the rest of his home planet, Enshou went on a suicidal mission to destroy the Earth though he knew that his targets, the Tendoshu, were already disposed of.
