拳術から剣術、柔術、槍術などあらゆる武術を網羅する武芸の高級百貨店こと「翠(みどり)の一門」直系のサムライ。

「翠の一門」はこれまで門徒に対してレジスタンスへの参加を認めてはいなかった。これは武術の精進は己の魂を磨くためであり、けっして争いの道具にしてはならないという教えがあるためだ。だが、ボズヤで反乱が起きる都度、帝国に対する不満と憎悪を抑えられない門徒がそれに参加。一門はそうした門徒を破門とし、帝国と直接事を構えることを避けてきた。

ブラズの父親は「翠の一門」宗家の末子だったが、やはり禁を破り反乱に参加。反乱は失敗に終わり、ボズヤを離れドマ国へ逃れた。ドマで母と出会い、ブラズが誕生した。ブラズは侍剣術の名門に弟子入りし、父親譲りの才能を開花。若くして免許皆伝の腕前となる。ヒエンの帰還後、ドマに対する恩を返そうとドマ解放戦線に参加し活躍した。ドマ奪還後、役目が終わったとばかりに出家するが、東方連合とボズヤ蜂起の噂を聞き、故郷へ戻ることを決意する。

丁度その頃、「翠の一門」の当主が交代し、ボズヤ再興のために力を尽くすと方針転換があった。「翠の一門」に戻ることを許されたブラズに対して当主は侍剣術の師範になるよう要請するが、ブラズはそれを断りレジスタンスに参加。すでに鬼籍に入った亡き父の遺志を継ぎボズヤの独立と再興を目指すと固く心に誓ったのである……。

Blaz is a samurai, and direct descendant of the founders of the Verdant Path, an illustrious martial school famous for teaching everything from unarmed combat to swordplay to spear techniques.

The school had a history of forbidding its disciples from engaging in uprisings, adhering to the philosophy that martial perfection was to serve the enlightenment of the soul─not sharpen tools for base conflict. When insurrection broke out in Bozja, however, there were students whose hatred for the Empire overwhelmed their stoic sense of obedience. Those who joined the fight were expelled, and so did the Verdant Path avoid confrontation with the Empire's forces.

Despite being the youngest child of the school's founding family, Blaz's father also chose to rebel against his teachings and lend his blade to the Bozjan cause. In the end, however, the uprising was crushed. Blaz's father took shelter in Doma, where he was to eventually wed, and, as time passed, be blessed with a son.

Blaz, following in his sire's martial footsteps, entered a prestigious samurai school, and mastered the katana at a young age. Some years later, when Hien returned from exile to lead his nation in revolution, the eager Hrothgar seized the opportunity to repay his family's debt to Doma. Once Doma's liberation was secured, Blaz made ready to strike out on his own. But after hearing rumors of the Eastern alliance and the new uprising in Bozja, he knew his road must lead to his father's homeland.

The Verdant Path was experiencing upheaval of its own at this time, with the newly appointed schoolmaster championing the cause of rebuilding the Bozja of old. Blaz was welcomed with open arms, and even offered a position to teach the arts of the samurai. He declined the honor. Though his father had since passed on, Blaz was determined to carry on his legacy. He would join the Resistance and the ranks of Gunnhildr's Blades, swearing an oath to see the nation of Bozja reborn.
