Perhaps he just wanted to be merely bouncering.  The character was created to perform a specific function: karma.  This mission was supposed to require some finesse and subtlety at least in the first part, but the first thing Mokuren did was kill someone.  In stealth games, enemies are often really powerful and nearly impossible to beat, because you're not supposed to fight them.  Same basic principle.

But this isn't a single player game. In multiplayer sneaking missions, it is always very helpful to have one person create a fuss and pull the monsters, to reduce the amount of people they need to sneak by. Just making an overpowered bastard for the sole perpose of 'karma'. Most sealth games - like Hitman or the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sneaking mission - do not have overpowered guys when you don't sneak. They are normal powered, in case you just suck at sneaking. Sneaking helps, but is not entirely demanded.
