Radigue

Radigue was the man who took in an amnesiac Katana when he was young.

Biography
Radigue was a 'digger' by trade, Radigue excavated Heavy Metal parts and materials to sell them to mechanics and shops that would fence them to others. Radigue raised Katana, taking him around with him as he moved from site to site, only to have him disappear on him one day when he finished the Seven and decided to go.

Radigue's work was very competitive, and he had his base of operations booby trapped with bombs and other deadly traps, all set on trip wires. Only Katana had the knowledge of what his traps were, how to avoid them, and how to disarm them. He would often call his unofficially adopted son a brat and a punk. Though he does very much care for the boy, and while Katana never truly says it out loud, he sees the man as a father-figure, even resenting him for treating him like a child and speaking of his quirks to others. Still, it is obvious that he cares for Radigue too, as the digger's untimely death sends him on a blind killing-spree, in which he wipes out those responsible.

One of the few sentimental objects Katana owns is a brass trumpet, which was made for him by Radigue, with the memory that Katana had, as a boy, seen a man with a trumpet and said that he wanted one too. It was retrieving this trumpet as a surprise to him that unfortunately put Radigue in a place to be killed, but he went out swinging. Katana keeps the trumpet to remember him by, and taught himself to play it.
