"I was fifteen years old when I embarked on my first campaign. For fifty years have I wandered from battlefield to battlefield, glaive in hand and smeared with dirt and blood.

Properties[]

The user has great status both mentally and physically, despite their old age, either from years of training or off the fly. This causes their opponents to usually severely underestimate their power, and they also make it appear as if time has had no effect on their physical condition, making them truly a force to be reckoned with. Some users have great intellect and are capable of being master strategists as well.
