Description
Personality
Baku is portrayed as a ruthless and cunning individual, willing to employ ambush tactics and exploitative methods to achieve his goals. He demonstrates a preparedness for violence and a lack of remorse, as evidenced by his brutal attack on Noi. His actions reveal a calculating and opportunistic personality, prioritizing his own ambitions above any moral considerations. His persistence in pursuing Shin and Noi, even after a previous near-fatal encounter, highlights a determined and relentless nature.
Abilities
Baku's primary ability is his explosive magic. He can manipulate smoke, shaping it into fist-sized projectiles that explode violently on impact or after a short delay. He appears to have removed his right hand to facilitate this projectile launching. His magic is potent enough to severely injure Noi, a powerful magic user herself, and inflict significant damage even after his apparent death. While the extent of his power isn't fully explored, it's shown to be sufficient for ambushing and incapacitating strong opponents.
