Throughout his childhood, Masahiro had developed a very long list of questions that he simply could not find answers to, like how his grandfather, Abe no Seimei, was apparently 75 but looked to be in his 20's. Masahiro grew up meeting-and sometimes seeing on a day-to-day basis- 11 of his grandfather's shikigami. But they all told him at least once that there was one more of them. A Crimson Lotus so named as Guren. Ochre skin and Flame-orange hair.

12 Shikigami serve and protect Abe no Seimei and his family. Though his childhood, Masahiro met 11 of the shinshou. They always told him there was one more, but how come he never saw the 'fire general' named Touda.
