Name: Kaede Kaito, which loosely translates too "A leaf of maple soaring through a sea of stars."
Maple was likely a joke about his extremely red hair.
Meister: Dragon and Knight
Age: Just over 17
Brief history: Kaede has always lived in the shadow of the True Cross Academy, as his father was a summoner for the Vatican. His mother, well, Kaede has never known who or where his mother is. After receiving the temptaint, his father thought it necessary to teach the boy all he could about the summoning of demons, and sent him off to the Academy, but not without first bonding him to a powerful demon simply dubbed Ifrit, to protect him and serve him. Kaede had barely graduated, having earned both the miestry of Knight and Dragon before the Academy was burned to the ground.
Race: He's summoned so many, most consider him a demon himself! But he is quite human. Probably.
Hobbies: drawing more summoning circles, sharpening his sword, finding good restaurants, and befriending demons.
Nicknames: The Dark Knight, Dragon Knight, The Demon of Chivalry.
temptation Demon: A demon related to Bahamut, summoned by his father.
When did your temptation happen: Around the age of 7, when his father botched a summoning. It went wild and slashed Kaede across the back before his father could rip the circle.
Alliance: Humans, though he's been known to speak out in the favor of demons who serve the Academy.
Ifrit, and how he plays into Kaede's powers:
Ifrit is a powerful fire demon bonded to Kaede by his father. The only problem with Ifrit, is that he is in fact, so large that only one part of his body can be summoned at a time, and usually only briefly. Kaede has, however, found a simple way around this dilemma. Instead of summoning demons to do his dirty work, he instead uses them to augment his own fighting prowess, by either summoning a claw or their fangs to use as an attack, or to allow himself to be temporarily possessed, to bolster his strength and speed.

The Sword:
All Knights need a sword, and Kaede is no different in that regard, though his does serve a somewhat different purpose. Believing paper squares to be to flimsy, Kaede's summoning circles are etched into the side of his blade. That still leaves the danger of an out of control demon. Fortunately, the scabbard acts as a seal, dispelling any demon summoned with the blade.
Demons under his command:
Cerberus:A three headed dog with the body of a serpent. Used to guard the underworld
Gashadokuro: a skeleton 15 times the size of a man, who delights in devouring human heads. To large to summon, so only possession or partial summons are available.
Daitengu: A powerful tengu who guides the wind.
Kirin: A strange form of dragon, resembling an ox.
Raiju: A wolf that fell to the earth on a bolt of lightning.
Ifrit: A huge demon of flame. To large to summon, so only possession or partial summons are available.
Salamander: Demons of fire who commonly posses lizards. Roughly resemble European dragons
Kraken: A giant squid like demon. To large to summon, so only possession or partial summons are available.
Demon Aspect: Sometimes a situation calls for a different weapon, and in such cases the Demon Aspect is a very useful tool. The summoned demon possesses a weapon and changes it based on its nature and abilities. (EX: The kraken would be a whip, where as Ifrit would be a flaming pair of claws)
This is a much more exhausting form of summoning, and much riskier, as the demon would die if the weapon breaks.
