HISTORY

Susano-o-no-Mikoto is the storm-god of Japanese mythology, the son of Izanami, the brother of Kagutsuchi and Tsuki-Yomi, and the cousin of Yama-no-Kami. He was one of the parties that bargained with Dream for the possession of the Key to Hell. Later, he recovered the wings of Lucifer. While the Japanese gods bargained with Lucifer for the return of them, Lucifer killed Susano's two brothers, which made Susano vow revenge on the Lightbringer. Susano-o-no-Mikoto resides in the House of Windowless Rooms.
