Cypher's Profile #19 (Written by Cameron Junpei and edited by Cypher, who's wishing everyone a happy holiday season!)

Online ID: Blood Shepherd (Told you this was going to be a big one)

Real name: Kengo Dojun (Morningstar did a little investigating into this guy. And he might have got help from Ghost Girl)

Other aliases: The Hunter, The Shepherd (Both were earned by his reputation. Ai and I have just decided to call him Drone Boy)

Gender: Male (Morningstar is against that nickname, but Cam loves it)

Age: c. 28 (We don't actually know how old he is, but this is our best guess, assuming Ghost Girl is about the same age as Cam)

Place of Residence: Den City (He moves around a lot for work, but Den City is where he grew up)

Deck: Drone (Wind Machine monsters that are surprisingly versatile. Main Deck monsters aren't that strong though)

Ace Monster(s): Battledrone General (Fun fact: the highest ranks in the Air Force are generals, not admirals like the Navy)

Skill: Drone Craft Force (An opponent's monster loses 200 attack points for every Drone card in the Graveyard, and your monster gains the same amount of attack points. A rather good Skill, I have to admit)

Occupation: Bounty hunter (Regarded as the best bounty hunter after Morningstar. I hate to admit it, but he's earned that rep)

Allegiance: SOL Technologies (Technically, he's freelance like Morningstar used to be, but since SOL's his current employer…)

Activity History: 5 years' experience, working with various companies and the military (Used to interrogate artificial intelligences for the latter. Can't say I'd be happy to be interrogated by him)

Win-Loss Ratio: 90% (Have to admit, he's good. Playmaker and Morningstar are evidently the only people to ever outsmart him)

Skill Level: A (He's not at Revolver's, Playmaker's, or my partner's level, but he's closer than most)

Notes

-Drone Deck focuses on a combination of direct attacks and effect damage. Also employs lockdown strategies that punish opponents for using Link Monsters (No way around it; this guy's a pro. His dueling is methodical and ruthless)

-Possesses genius level hacking and programming skills (You think? He figured out to decode and rewrite an Ignis program. Ai, Flame, and I thought that only Dr. Kogami or Revolver would be able to do that. I mean yeah, Cam and Kusanagi can decode them, but it's very difficult for them)

-Is known to take extreme measures in pursuit of victory (Blood Shepherd is definitely a different kind of bounty hunter than Morningstar)

-Is the half-brother of Emma Bessho, aka Ghost Girl (Seriously?! Well, that would explain a few things. But how the hell do you know that, Cam?)

Cypher's Addendum: This guy isn't the most impressive or dangerous opponent we have, but he's definitely more dangerous than SOL's other bounty hunters. Not many people can get one over an Ignis. Or an Ignis and their partner.
