He's the spirit of an exorcist, who takes the appearance of a person's love interest.
Biography[]
He studied exorcism in the west as an exchange student, where he fell in love with a woman named Diana. They got engaged, but he ended up losing her because of an evil spirit who had taken her appearance. He returned to Japan and married another woman, all while still harboring feelings for the western woman he lost. And so consequently after passing away, his spirit lingered around his belongings kept in a suitcase, and his regret was so strong that he could be visible to people and would take the appearance of the love interest of anyone getting near his suitcase and act evil.
His grandson got aware and so sought Tsubasa to have him purified. But the dead exorcist took the appearance of Sakura, for she’s the girl the young exorcist loves, and it proved impossible for both Tsubasa and Rinne to purify him while having her appearance, which made him angry saying that he doesn’t understand why they would not do so. His angry reaction prompted Rinne, Tsubasa and Sakura to investigate through his suitcase which contained dairies with nothing but “I don’t understand why” written numerous times and a double picture of Diana, and learn how the loss happened. It turns out he didn’t lose Diana by mistaking her for the evil spirit and killing her like everybody thought; he actually figured which one was the evil spirit and dealt with it, but Diana felt uneasy by the fact that he could hurt and dispose of the spirit while it had her appearance, and so didn’t feel like marrying him anymore. And so, understanding his spirit lingering and his actions because he was crushed by being rejected and was unable to understand why, Rinne and Tsubasa purified him.
