Who is Jei?

Jei is a demon warrior from Hell. He first appears to roam the land killing anyone in his path. He justifies this by saying he was sent on a mission by the Gods to cleanse the land of evil. Jei travels with a young girl named Keiko, whom he saves from a band of ronin. It should be noted that Jei refers to the child as his "innocent" and Keiko refers to him as "uncle". Jei wields a spear that can tear one's very soul from their body. Jei's calling card is the utter look of terror he leaves upon his slain victims, out of those he has faced in combat only one has survived: the long eared Ronin Usagi . Jei has faced Usagi several times, yet his most climatic battle between the long eared Ronin was in the Grasscutter story arc.
