Abura Okoku

Abura Okoku was the 11th Emperor of Azuria. He wielded the Body Gen: Aphid Transformation, which he utilised to clone himself up to 100 times.

Background
Abura was born in Azuria.

Albeit somewhat unimpressive in battle, his overwhelming Gen capacity and utilisation of tactics in battle made him a formidable soldier for the Azurian military. Whilst in the military, he regularly clashed with Leonidas Aelur given their differences in their combat style, infantry management and battle philosophies.

Following the Kaiden resistance, Leonidas immediately rushed his infantry to the site to fight off the remaining soldiers whereas Abura rushed his site to capture the now-unprotected land. This decision made Abura unpopular with many of Azuria.

During the selection process for the XI Emperor, X Emperor requested that Abura and Leonidas compete against each other as part of the selection process. The battle, which took place behind closed doors and with only the Pathu present, took almost a full day and ended with both Overseers unconscious however Leonidas remained standing for 3 seconds longer than Abura. Abura later revealed to the X Emperor that he had cloned himself once when he was younger and had retained that clone for his entire life in secret, meaning he had competed in the fight with less than half of his natural Gen. Pathu confronted Abura that he had demanded the two go all out however Abura rebuked this, claiming that he had to use all of his willpower not to recall his clone, an additional factor Leonidas did not need to deal with. As a result, the Pathu named him his successor.

Following the death of the 10, Abura took over as the Emperor of Azuria, much to the confusion of many of Azuria who felt that Leonidas was the appropriate choice.

King Leo
Abura and Leonidas engaged in an aggressive, insalubrious rivalry for most of their military life which arose given the differences in their mentality. The two always prioritised the safety of the Azurian people, however Leonidas was the classic patriotic fighter, favouring raw strength and overwhelming aggression wherever possible, and Abura was a cold tactician, often planning to avoid conflict wherever possible to conserve military strength. Whilst Leonidas had the confidence to attack his enemies with everything he had instantaneously, Abura favoured holding back his strengths until his opponent had revealed enough of their strategy to make a complex play. Leonidas would make the first move directly at the weak point, Abura would counter an enemies' first strike with a calculated blow set in motion some time before. Leonidas was passionate about the country and its individuals, Abura focused more on numbers and prioritising the greater good. Leonidas has always been an icon in Azuria, Abura was seen as strong but untrustworthy. Leonidas would share strong connections with his compatriots, keeping things above board wherever possible, whilst Abura would lead with misdirection and hold back critical information if he felt it appropriate. Leonidas utilised a tried-and-true approach that rarely changed between opponents however Abura would take risks and attempt unusual moves in battle.

Although Abura kept Leonidas appointed as the Overseer of Lodos, the two did not communicate at all following Leonidas' disdain at Abura's appointment as Emperor. When contact had to be made, Abura would ask Panth Nekota, Overseer of _, to act as a messenger.

Following the death of Marshall Sebastian, a teacher and companion to them both, the two agreed to settle their differences to ensure the safety of the Azurian people against the Black Tree.

Abura notably admired Leonidas' implacable personality despite their clashes. Nonetheless, he truly believed that he was correct in pushing for the title of Emperor over Leonidas as he knew he could make sacrifices that Leonidas could have never made.
