[center]"Cast out as a kid, dragged onto the battlefield at the age of nine... And made an explosive escape two years later. Spent about three years as a wandering mercenary till I ended up in the Vongola at age 14. Been at it ever since to this day. Feels a bit wierd that even after all that... I still find myself able to smile at the simple things."[/center]

Although he seems calm, kind and generous at first glance, take care not to pick a fight with him, because his mindset quickly dispenses with the kindness and takes upon the mindset of a focused, calm combatant. Where others would fall prey to provocation, he would not, choosing to fight on his own terms, and not play into those of his opponent's. Prefers to take his targets alive if the option is possible, but if that's not an option, or they'll end up suffering greatly before the end,

Getting him angry might seem like an easy way to win against this mercenary turned mafia hitman, but that one is a costly mistake, as he'll then start shooting to kill. Those who think they can push his buttons and get away with it will find themselves going home in body bags. And even then he's still not easy to fall victim to a provocation.

Formerly a world-wandering mercenary turned hitman for the Mafia, Crobalt has seen a lot of conflict over the last decade, and has been seasoned in various conflicts worldwide, earning his fair share of scars and experience along the way. Despite the fact that he basically kills people for a living, he retains a gentle mindset when not on a job.

Though he doesn't know much about how a Mafia family is run (And frankly, it's not something he's thought about having to learn), he's developed the sort of mentality to offer one hand, but keep a pistol in the other as a "just in case". Some might call it excessive to be so suspicious, but when some people are likely to stab you the second you turn your back, no caution is too much. Just ask the corpses of past clients in a ditch somewhere because they thought they could outsmart him.

While he is still young compared to more seasoned members of the Mafia, he is wiser than his age would suggest. Any failures he makes, he makes a point to learn from them later, and he's always looking to improve his skills. Self improvement could take any number of forms, afterall. And even if he can't immediately spot these differences, he's not prideful enough to not ask for pointers.

He does tend to take on advisory roles on occasion, the individuals he provides it to benefitting from his experience on and off the battlefield. He's quite content with his current "On again, off again" habit of going between hitman and advisor, since it keeps him on his toes. Course, nothing ever stays the same for long as far as the Mafia are concerned... Especially when a job from an unknown client sends him to Namimori on what would prove to be the defining moment of his entire life.

[b]Cool-headed[/b] - Able to maintain a calm outlook in almost any situation. You'd have to really go out of your way to tick him off.

[b]Analytical[/b] - Capable of observing targets and deducing weaknesses, then exploiting said weaknesses with surgical precision. 

[b]Experienced[/b] - Has survived a few close scrapes in the past and came out wiser for it; Is willing to share his experience with others to help them avoid those same pitfalls.

[b]Seasoned Marksman[/b] Though he probably doesn't hold a candle to the Arcobaleno Reborn in terms of his sharpshooting skills, he's still a good shot in his own right. If it shoots bullets, he can use it with precision.

[b]Swordsman[/b] Although a bit irregular for a storm user, he took up swordplay as a contingency plan for close range battlefields where firearms would be unable to be aimed in time. In his role as a hitman, he sometimes found himself engaging in a sword duel with his intended target, and these skills proved invaluable.

[b]Dual 9mm handguns, Suppressed[/b] - Concealed beneath his coat, hidden inside the main body of the coat. Carries the suppressors inside hidden compartments in his coat's tails.

[b]Double-edged 1-handed Sword[/b] - Concealed beneath his coat, on his left hip, always on hand. Simple, but effective.

[b]M4A1 Carbine[/b] - Primarily used for short to medium range combat where discretion is no-longer or never was important, with a strap to support it on his back when not in use. Owing to the weapon's size, however, he can't go wandering around in public with it, so he'll likely leave it somewhere out of sight and secure.
