Abijah Fowler

Character Bio: Abijah Fowler

Born in the fiery crucible of the Tudor conquest of Ireland, Abijah Fowler emerged from the ashes of his people's suffering, a man forged in the image of both his land's brutal history and his own indomitable spirit. Orphaned at a young age, Fowler and his younger sister were left to fend for themselves amidst the ravaged landscape, their once-fertile homeland now a wasteland of starvation and despair. The harsh realities of survival etched themselves into Fowler's soul, shaping him into a cunning and ruthless individual, capable of both tender mercy and brutal violence.

Fowler's life took a dramatic turn when he discovered a hidden cache of weapons, a relic from the old wars. Among them was a gun, an object of both fascination and power. He saw in it a tool to take what he wanted, to seize control of his own destiny in a world that had sought to deny him and his people. With this newfound power, Fowler began to carve out a name for himself, first as a thief, then as a smuggler, and eventually as a trader of influence and violence.

His rise to power was swift and brutal, fueled by a deep-seated hatred for those who sought to control others and a disdain for the authority that had allowed his people to suffer. Fowler saw the world as a game, a chessboard where the pieces were moved by those with the most power. He vowed to become the most powerful piece of all, to never again be at the mercy of others.

Fowler's reputation as a gunrunner and opium smuggler preceded him, drawing the attention of those who sought to use his skills for their own ends. Among them was Heiiji Shindo, a disgraced samurai with a grudge against the Shogunate. Together, they began to weave a plot against the ruling class, a web of intrigue and violence that would reshape the very foundations of Japan.

Fowler's involvement in this plot was not born of a desire for power, but rather a thirst for vengeance. He saw in the Shogunate a reflection of the English crown, a corrupt and weak authority that sought to control others for their own gain. He would not stand idly by while another people suffered under their yoke.

Yet, despite his ruthless nature and cunning intellect, Fowler possesses a sense of honor. He keeps his promises, even to his enemies, and has a soft spot for children, a remnant of his own tragic past. He sees in them a purity, an innocence that he himself lost long ago. This does not make him any less dangerous, however. Fowler is a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, making him a formidable force to be reckoned with.

In the world of the Blue Eye Samurai, Abijah Fowler stands as a stark reminder of the power of the individual, the lengths one will go to in the pursuit of vengeance, and the fine line that exists between hero and villain. He is a man of stark contrasts, a charismatic and cunning individual who can charm the birds from the trees, yet harbors a darkness that runs as deep as the ocean. He is a master puppeteer, using his wit, intelligence, and silver tongue to sway others to his cause, all while maintaining an air of independence and self-preservation. He is a hedonist, indulging in the finer things life has to offer, from opium to beautiful companions, and he has a particular appreciation for the art of swordsmanship, even if he prefers the efficiency of a gun.

But beneath his cruel exterior, Fowler possesses a sense of honor. He keeps his promises, even to his enemies, and has a soft spot for children, a remnant of his own tragic past. He is a complex blend of charm and cruelty, intelligence and brutality, a man who walks the line between light and dark, always ready to tip the scales in his favor. He is Abijah Fowler, the white devil, and his story is far from over.
