I am not saying that they are the embodiments at birth, were created by some supernatural force or whatever, in fact embodiment is not the right word, "represent" is better. Since mantra affinity is more of a worthiness thing.

These are what I mean:


 * "the eight mantras have been passed down from older generations of generals, though there are times when a vacancy occurs if no suitable general is found."


 * "The Eight Guardian Generals represent all the eight pure Mantras, and each draw his or her power from that specific mantra. Asura is the General of Wrath; Wyzen, the General of Violence; Augus, the General of Greed; Kalrow, the General of Sloth; Deus, the General of Pride; Olga, the General of Lust; Sergei, the General of Vanity; Yasha, the General of Melancholy."


 * "Each General also possessed a Mantra Affinity and powers associated with that type of Mantra Affinity."

So you're saying that if he killed the holder of Greed, then he would be attuned with greed mantra, but had his personality before his encounter with the general so that would make no sense.
