Dark Scythe

Dark Scythe, known as Dark Kirisaki (ダーク・キリサキ) in Japan, is a character from the Mega Man Battle Network series. He is an assassin trained by Dusk and his NetNavi is EraseMan.EXE. Both of his Japanese game and anime incarnations are known as the "Black Death God" (黒死神).

Personality
Dark Scythe doesn't show his emotions in front of others, he's the type who prefers to suffer in silence. On the other hand, he is confident in his NetBattling abilities and isn't afraid to show it. In the games, he is a very cold and professional individual. Like Dusk, he would eliminate his current comrades if he were hired to do so in the future.
