My father was a strong and powerful shinigami, but a benevolent one as well. There were times I could not understand why he would act or proceed in certain ways, but he always held the peace and souls of the world first and foremost.

As shinigami we represent order and our duty is to protect the world and maintain its peace. That is what my father did, and what he continued to do even until his death.

[and it's what he continues now. or tries to, anyway.]
