Kirrin Higube

''Kirrin bore a striking resemblance to his father, being tall and fairly muscular. He had grown quite a lot since joining his father on campaign.''

Kirrin Higube is the eldest son of Mitchu Higube, conquering many of the lands that came into the possession of the Higube family. He is also Kona Higube's older brother. Though not known for Kona's rapidly increasing might, Kirrin was a skilled fighter in his own right, often leading his forces from the front and dueling with enemy officers.

Early Life
Not much is known about Kirrin's early childhood, however it is clear that his father always intended for Kirrin to inherit his lands. When Gilliam Tigerblood rebelled against the state, Kirrin saw combat while fighting alongside his father. He was also present when Lucas Septis and Samu Hassaru proposed an allied effort to defeat Hurion Soulfire. He joined his father in this campaign though he was granted command of his own troops, sparing him from his father's demise at the hands of Damien Silverhawk. When the capital was captured, Kirrin came before Marcus Delmege to inform him that he would be returning to Girail to stabilise his inheritance. Marcus gave Kirrin three thousand troops as a parting gift. It was also the last time he would see Marcus alive again.

Expansion
Following the advice of his uncle, Jason, Kirrin expanded his domain and recruited several capable officers such as Zac Wolfsblood, John Gordan and Max Gordon. He would end up becoming the Lord of seven provinces, claiming more land than ANY Higube lord before him. However, he would constantly battle with Frederick Stormson over the control of the Southern Peninsula, preventing him from launching any decisive campaign against the powerful Septic Forces.

Downfall
Kirrin led his forces north in an attempt at defeating the Septic once and for all, but was stopped by his brother. There he fought the greatest duel of his life against Kona, though he was eventually defeated and wounded. Kirrin withdrew, though he never forgot this defeat. He would later lead another campaign agaisnt the Stormson forces but was caught in a trap devised by Ezra and shot by Frollo Tenith. He died soon after, leaving his lands to his son Kai Higube.

Fate By Blades (Game)
Kirrin is the second "Lord" character of the Higube Force, inheriting the role from his father, from Chapter Three of the Higube Story onwards. He wields a pair of swords in quicky, and stylish, combos for his normal attacks while using flame-imbued strikes for his heavy attacks. He overall stat total equal Kona's, though his defence is slightly lower in exchange for a higher attack.

Trivia

 * Kirrin is considered a more noble lord than Lucas for he refused to use the same ploy as Lucas to lure Kona into his service (getting a maiden from The Hooded Figure and marrying her to Kona).
