: Souther establishes himself as the {{nihongo|Holy Emperor|聖帝|Seitei|}} after Raoh's setback against [[Kenshiro]] and becomes feared as a merciless tyrant, kidnapping children to construct his [[Holy Cross Mausoleum]]. Souther was once a warm and loving child, adopted by the previous master of Nanto Hō-ōken, [[Ogai]]. However, because of Nanto Hō-ōken's [[Isshi Sōden|awful legacy]], Ogai tricked Souther into killing him in order to be surpassed by his student. | : Souther establishes himself as the {{nihongo|Holy Emperor|聖帝|Seitei|}} after Raoh's setback against [[Kenshiro]] and becomes feared as a merciless tyrant, kidnapping children to construct his [[Holy Cross Mausoleum]].

:Severely traumatised by the act of having to kill his master, Souther resolved to cast aside any positive emotions, gradually losing his morality over time. | |||
: He was present when young Kenshiro competed in the [[Nanto Junin Kumite]]. When Kenshiro lost his final trial to [[Shu]], Souther ordered that the boy be executed in keeping with Nanto law but Shu intervened and sacrificed his own eyes for the boy's life. This awakened Shu's star of destiny (the [[Jinsei]]) and would see the two of them become enemies after the [[nuclear war of 199X|nuclear war]]. | : He was present when young Kenshiro competed in the [[Nanto Junin Kumite]].

: When Shu recruits Kenshiro in his war against Souther, the ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'' successor confronts Souther but finds his vital point attacks are futile against him. Souther defeats Kenshiro and prepares to use him as a human sacrifice for his mausoleum until Shu's son, [[Shiva]], infiltrates the prison and aids his escape. Souther responds by attacking the resistance hideout, taking a hundred women & children hostage in order to blackmail Shu into surrender. He slices the tendons in Shu's legs, crippling his ''[[Nanto Hakuro Ken]]'', and forces him to rest the capstone of the pyramid before his execution. | : When Shu recruits Kenshiro in his war against Souther, the ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'' successor confronts Souther but finds his vital point attacks are futile against him.

: An enraged Kenshiro challenges Souther once more to avenge Shu's death and discovers his secret: Souther was born with a rare congenital condition known as ''[[wikipedia:dextrocardia|dextrocardia]] [[wikipedia:situs inversus|situs inversus]] totalis''-- meaning that his heart is on the right side and the positions of his vital points are reversed. After being crippled by the [[Tenha Kassatsu]] and losing his protection, Souther makes one last stand, but he is soon defeated by Kenshiro's merciful ''[[Hokuto Ujō Mōshō Ha|Ujō Moshō Ha]]'' technique. Overwhelmed by his opponent's compassion, Souther spends his final moments reconciling with the shrine of his beloved master, before breathing his last and passing away next to Ogai's body. Shortly afterwards, the holy pyramid comes crashing down under the weight of Shu's sorrow, whose spirit wept for Souther's tragic fate. | : An enraged Kenshiro challenges Souther once more to avenge Shu's death and discovers his secret: Souther was born with a rare congenital condition known as ''[[wikipedia:dextrocardia|dextrocardia]] [[wikipedia:situs inversus|situs inversus]] totalis''-- meaning that his heart is on the right side and the positions of his vital points are reversed.
