Persona Background: Karasu was a demon bird that scoured the battlefields of ancient japan devouring the souls of wounded soldiers sparing them death in return for collecting the souls at a later date. The time was never specified only that eventually payment was due. When Karasu collected his fee, he feasted on the flesh of those who made a deal with him while they were still alive. After stripping all the flesh from their bones he took their skulls as trophies, said to contain their souls where he’d return to hell to barter with the souls he collected for more power or influence.
