Haku

""Come on, do I have to do EVERYTHING around here? If I don't get a bonus on this one, I'm filing a complaint.""

Haku (ハク) is the main protagonist of Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception and Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth. He is an an amnesiac man with no recollection of his past, found by Kuon in the ruins of Kujyuri who later follows her to take residence in the capital of Yamato. He is employed by the Imperial Guard of the Right, Oshtor, to lead a team that takes care of tasks around the capital.

Personality
One of Haku's most defining traits is his laziness. He has a strong dislike for work much to the disdain of others, preferring to slack off and drinking booze with Ukon and Maroro. He is intelligent, but commonly uses it to find an easy way out of a job particularly when he's forced to by Kuon. He shows a greedy side as the only way to get him motivated is through the promise of great fortune in where he will eagerly hop into action, though he typically returns to being lazy due to the money getting destroyed or confiscated. He likes to make snarky comments of others in his internal dialogue and for the most part and is largely unconcerned about his lack of memories as it gives him a clean slate. In spite of these traits, Haku is not a bad person. He displays a relaxed demeanor around others and is always willing to support them, like how he chooses to stay with Atuy to help her drink off her sadness. His time spent with Rulutieh is an example of his kindness, as he offers to spend time making desserts with her and despite their multiple failed attempts, they ultimately succeed thanks to his help. While reluctant to be one, Haku is a good leader. His physical weakness is compensated thanks to his smarts, making him a good strategist particularly in times of battle.
