Koutoku Ren

Koutoku Ren (練 紅徳, Ren Kōtoku) was the Kou Empire's Second Emperor and husband of the current Empress, Gyokuen Ren.

Appearance
Koutoku appears as a rather large, wrinkly man wearing the royal clothes and the royal hat that was formerly worn by his brother, Hakutoku Ren.

Personality
Not much is known about his personality but Koutoku seeks strength for his army and yearns for more power.

History
Koutoku was the younger brother of the Kou Empire's First Emperor, Hakutoku.

He had ten children, three boys and seven girls, with at least three different women, but currently only five of them are known: Kouen, Koumei, Kouha, Kougyoku and Kourin.

About ten years before the start of the story, his brother and two of his nephews, Hakuyuu and Hakuren, died in a fire. Koutoku became the Second Emperor since there was no suitable successors to the throne at that moment. He adopted the other two surviving children of his brother, Hakuei and Hakuryuu, letting them keep the titles of prince and princess. Koutoku later married his brother's wife, Gyokuen.

Kouga Arc
At the Imperial Palace, a man who resembles the appearance of an Al-Thamen member reports the recent military activities to Koutoku. Upon hearing the news, Koutoku demands more Dungeon Capturers to strengthen their army using the power of a certain Oracle, who he hasn't seen in awhile.
