Sessho-maru

Sessho-maru is the half-brother of Inu-Yasha. They can best be described as "estranged", to put it lightly. Sessho-maru dislikes humans, and knowing that his brother is half human seems to be one of the main reasons Sessho-maru dislikes him.

Sessho-maru is often seen in the company of his loyal servant Jaken and a large Oni that he is usually riding on.

Upon hearing that his half-brother had been freed from the spell he immediately began searching for him in order to learn of the location of their father's legendary sword, Tetsusaiga. After a long skirmish, Sessho-maru found out, much to his disappointment that he is unable to weild the Tetsusaiga because of his demon blood. On the other hand, because Inu-Yasha is half human, he can use the powerful sword. After a long battle, Inu-Yasha was able to drive off Sessho-maru and cut off one of his arms in the process.

Sessho-maru arrived on the scene again later, and with the help of Naraku was able to temporarily use a human's arm in place of his old one to use the Tetsusaiga.

He has recently gained a new travelling companion, a young girl named Rin whom he seems to be taking care of. He has also gained the Tetsusaiga's companion blade- the Tenseiga.
