Biography
|
Juan is a bujutsu instructor who resides at Budehuc Castle. Although talented at martial arts, he can usually be found merely napping throughout the day. His drowsniess is apparently caused by the leaves he chews on that grow around the castle. Juan's motivation is the desire to defeat a travelling drifter who passed through his father's dojo, humiliating him in combat. That's the reason he opened his own dojo at Budehuc Castle, in the hopes that this wandering fighter would come and challenge him.
He did not place much faith in Thomas as Lord of Budehuc Castle at first, but would grow to admire his efforts and would support him. When the War of the Champions came to Budehuc, Juan would fight as a member of the Fire Bringer. As a bujutsu instructor, he helped to develop the talents of the many fighters who resided at the castle during the war.
Following the conflict, Juan would wind up with a heavy increase in disciples as the population of the castle grew. Luckily for him, he delegates their training to Emily, who he hired on as his assistant instructor.
