Winters Socalo

Winters Sokaro is an Exorcist General of the Black Order.

Appearance
Sokalo wears a hard leather (almost metal-like) mask over his head. His Exorcist uniform is heavy fit SWAT like clothes with nothing but the crest and two gold stripes to mark him as a member of the black order. His Anti Akuma weapon sits on his shoulders in two spiked rings. When his mask is removed, Sokalo is revealed to be dark skinned and has spiked hair and teeth and a black scar or tattoo across his nose, just beneath his white eyes, though he doesn't seem to be blind. He also wears a pair of gold and red earrings. When not clothed it is seen that his body is hugely scarred all over the torso. Ironically, his overall appearance is similar to and perhaps more intimidating than the Akuma he is sworn to destroy.

Personality
Sokaro is a harsh man. Unlike the other generals, he seems to have little regard for his Exorcist team (consisting of Kazana Reed, Chakar Rabon, and Suman Dark, all of whom are eventually killed by Tyki Mikk). Sokaro displays a sadistic love of battle and shows an unsettling joy while he is killing. He shows very little compassion for others. His style of combat is reckless and berserk like an unleashed animal and intimidates even his fellow Exorcists.

History
Not much is known about Sokaro's past. A former prisoner from Mexico, Sokaro was a death row inmate for undisclosed reasons who was apparently spared in exchange for joining the order. He seems to have an Aztec origin, due to his appearance and temper.

Edo arc
Sokaro first appears alongside fellow general Klaud Nine before the coffins of their respective team members. While Cloud weeps, Sokaro insults his team, calling them "a bunch of loser dogs".

Invasion of HQ arc
Sokaro is seen along with the other Generals and Supervisor Komui after the Ark incident meeting with Malcom Levrier As the Auditor interrogates General Marian. He then seen entering the battle when the generals arrive to deal with the army of lvl 3 Akuma and Lulu Bell. He is the first to attack, launching himself at the Giant Akuma that was created out of the lvl 3's whilst activating his innocence with the phrase "tortue". He laughs deleriously as he slices the Giant monster, once he is finished he takes off his war mask roaring for more. As the other generals and Allen spur into action Winters stands amongst countless Akuma bodies and tell s Marian not to get involved, he then uses his innocence as a giant buzzsaw finishing off the remaining Akuma, revelling in the bloodbath he creates, remarking how how fun it was. As Lulu Bell tries to stop Miranda Lotto's invocation and return the Egg to the new Ark Sokaro tells the Noah not to bother trying to return to the Ark and uses Madness to displace her water form whilst Klaud Nine attacks the Egg although this proves unsuccessful. Sokaro decides that Miranda should be prepared to die as he Klaud and Marian power up in order to take out the Egg whilst Lulu Bell stands atop it using Miranda as a shield. Allen Walker manages to save Miranda and the resulting explosion is massive. Sokaro jokes with Marian after about the general being a bad master to Allen for his using such force when he knew about Allen's rescue attempt which they both laugh off. When the Level 4 Akuma attacks the headquarters Sokaro along with all the other Generals is seemingly defeated in the overwhemling force of the lvl 4's attack. . All the scientists and excorsists are saved however through the efforts of Miranda Lotto's time record and General Tiedoll's maker of eden. Sokaro and Klaud then block off the lvl 4's escape and destroy it along with Lenalee, Allen and Marian. The Generals are present after the battle as Komui explains the difference between Lenalee's evolved innocence and parasite type, urging the supervisor on as he explains and calling Allen a monster for having a parasitic type innocence.

During the Headquarters move he is bathing along with General Tiedoll when he is somehow affected by the Komuvitan D Virus. he breaks through a wall and attacks the remaining black order members with Madness whilst still only dressed in a towel. He decides to attack Allen and the other order members decide Allen is as good as dead however he is separated in Komurin Ex's attack. The Generals later chase the team after they are exposed by Krory's attack and Sokaro manages to bite Allen. When Komurin Ex goes to use the vaccine on the order members Madness flies towards it and destroys the machine.

Anti-Akuma Weapon
Madness (神狂い):

Sokaro's innocence is an Equipment-type Innocence. When not invoked, it appears as two spiked half-rings attached to Sokaro's shoulders. When Sokaro invokes his Innocence, he slides the rings down his arms and claps his hands together, creating a complete circle. When the circle is complete, two enormous blades materialize on either side of the ring. Sokaro uses Madness as a powerful, close-combat Anti-Akuma weapon, usually by spinning the blades at high speed, creating a massive buzz saw. He is seen capable of defeating a giant akuma and could take down a Level 3 without much trouble. He relishes the fight and displays extreme blood-lust during battle.


 * Madness: Cremation Dance (神狂い 火葬舞, Dederupa): Sokaro spins the blades at a very high speed (causing them to be superheated) and throws them at his enemies, melting and slicing them.
