Personality: Nimble never shows much regard for a pony's life, at some points even letting on that he likes to kill. He is rather morbid and arrogant. But none of these flaws prevent him from being a superb investigator and fighter. He expects those involved in the military, whether swordsmen or not, to carry out their duties without letting their personal feelings interfere. As a captain of the execution guild known as The Black Coffin, Nimble has had a long time rivalry with Crimson Katana, who was a former killer at the time. He believes in peace and order, even in the society created by his former enemies. To uphold this new peace, Nimble often walks and carries out his duties in the shadows of society in his own way; following his lifelong code of purpose with devotion, Nimble is the stallion who does the necessary dirty work, killing off the despicable and those beyond saving. Anypony he considers to be corrupt or despotic, he targets for elimination, in the honor of his country and his fallen comrades.

Backstory: Nimble Blade is the former captain of The Black Coffin. The rival gang with Crimson Katana as their client. Having a long-standing rivalry with Crimson since their days on opposite sides of the great war Nimble nevertheless holds a begrudging respect for the samurai and has come to his aid on assignment more than once, acting as a ruthless ally and the voice of cynical reason in the major battles.
