The Ancient One (迦雄須 Kaos) is a powerful monk. He is the creator of the nine armors, and acts as a mentor to the Ronin Warriors, even after his death.
The Ancient is voiced by David Kaye in the English dub and Norio Wakamoto in the original Japanese version.
Appearance[]
The Ancient One has white hair. He wears the traditional robes of a monk and a straw hat which covers his face. While facing off against Talpa a thousand years ago, he wears green and blue-gray samurai armor. He never goes anywhere without his mystical staff.
Personality[]
The Ancient One is very serious and dedicated to protecting the Mortal Realm from the evil of the Dynasty to the point of being willing to sacrifice his own life so the Ronin Warriors can get close to Talpa's castle. He cares for those who have been tainted by Talpa, as he was the first to reach out to Anubis when he began to question his loyalty to the Dynasty. He also pitied Suzanagi and could sense a troubled soul within her but was unable to help her.
Biography[]
Early History[]
The Ancient One is a member of a mystical clan of which virtually nothing is known.
Preparing to face Talpa
One thousand years ago, he confronted the threat that Talpa and his invading forces presented. The Ancient One defeated the evil and banished it back to the Nether Realm, but Talpa's armor remained. Knowing that the Dynasty emperor would return if it was left whole, the monk decided to split the armor into nine separate armors, each empowered with a Confucian or Bushido virtue in order to defuse the evil locked within them. He then sealed the nine armors away until the time when the world would need them again.
The Ronin Warriors each received their armor from the Ancient One at least one year before Talpa returned to the Mortal Realm to extract his revenge.

Relationships[]
- The Ronin Warriors: The Ancient One was a caring and guiding mentor toward the teens. Even after his death, the Ancient continued to help the five however he could. However, he did admit feeling guilty at having brought the five into the battle between him and Talpa.
- Mia and Yuli: Although he has had little interaction with the two, the Ancient knows the two help the Ronin's however they can and will lend them his staff to further aid them.
- Talpa: The Ancient's greatest rival. He had fought against Talpa one millennium prior to the storyline and was able to temporarily beat him and turn his physical body into the nine mystical armors worn by the Ronin Warriors and Dark Warlords. The Ancient One knows well the evil that Talpa is capable of and did everything he could to prevent it.
