The Masamune Knights
Bran Kidd is the leader of the Masamune Knights and a little bit of a slacker. Though he has a hero complex, he'd rather be sleeping than going on the pathetic missions that the knights tend to get. He is rather accident prone and not very adept with a sword, even though he carries one around.
