Bloodstained Blade

Template:Spoiler

Bloodstained Blade is the demon captain of the Egyptian Queen and is bound to serve the Kane family&mdash;within reason. He gives Sadie, Carter, and Bast safe passage to the Land of the Dead. He is then killed.

Story
It is unknown when, why, or how Bloodstained Blade came into service of the Kane family, but he appears to have been for some time. He and the Egyptian Queen were present on the night that Ruby Kane died. Bloodstained Blade granted Julius and Bast the safety of his ship after the tragic incident. He is under some sort of spell, currently unknown.

Six years later, Bloodstained Blade appears with his boat to escort Sadie and Carter Kane to the Land of the Dead.

Personality
Bloodstained Blade appears grumpy, sullen, and prideful. Bast says that if he ever was released from service to the Kane family, he would use his bladed head on them. Strangely, he seems to disapprove of the fact that Bast neglected to tell the Kane siblings the details of their mother's death, despite the fact he probably hates the Kane family. The fact that he hates the Kane family is also hinted when he seems somewhat happy when Carter and Sadie have to go face Shemzu and when he later is annoyed that he is not freed from service early.

Appearance
Bloodstained Blade has the body of a human and wears a white captain uniform. Rather than a head, he sports a double-bladed battle axe. The blades are in the shapes of crescents and the one in the back is splattered with what seems to be blood. Due to a lack of a conventional head, his voice sounds like a quivery hum along his front blade and sounds like music made by a hammer hitting a saw. When he bows, the motion is reminiscent of a guillotine.
