ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Shinobi is a young man consumed with ambition. At present, his main goal is taking his father's place as Black King of the Hellfire Club and humiliating or defeating the former Hellfire members and his rival Upstarts. Although he is a good strategist, his youthful overconfidence, short temper, and preference for a decadent lifestyle sometimes interfere with his own plans.
Shinobi's stated belief is to not let personal feelings cloud his wisdom, but his pride in his own abilities often prevents him from living up to his words. He enjoys dramatic gestures and showing off, and likes to be on hand personally to gloat over his enemies before finishing them off. Shinobi is deliberately careless about what he says, and his speech is often peppered with youthful slang.

Exusiai's Notes This is another of those 90s bad guys who came out. Basically, he is a human version of Vision's power set, but well-funded and connected.
