- —Esdeath
General Esdeath is one of the main antagonists of the Akame ga Kill! series. She appeared in the 124th episode of Death Battle, Gray VS Esdeath, where she fought against Gray Fullbuster from the Fairy Tail series.
History
Esdeath was born and raised in the Northern Frontier Lands and is the sole remaining survivor of her village, the Partas Clan, after it was massacred by a rival clan. She spent most of her childhood with her father, the clan chief, and was a skilled and formidable fighter at even such a young age. Esdeath was taught the ideology of "the strong live and the weak die", a creed she kept close to her heart. When her village was devastated, she saw it as a sign of her own strength and vowed to herself to become even stronger. She traveled to the south, where she would rise through the ruling empire's ranks, eventually becoming its military's lead general. The Prime Minister soon allowed her to choose a Teigu, a relic that granted supernatural abilities. Her choice would be the Demon’s Extract, which granted her unparalleled cryomantic powers. After taming the Teigu, Esdeath would lead the Empire to multiple victories, spearheaded by her lust for battle, bloodshed, and opportunity to crush the weak, all with seemingly no compassion whatsoever, save for an ounce savored for a particularly young rebel.
