Mihai Știrbey (ミハイ・シュティルベイ Mihai Shutirubei) is a member of the Hachiō Danzaiba and a member of Yami's Armed Division.
Physical Appearance
He appears as a man in his late twenties with long light-colored hair that is combed back with some strands falling on his forehead. The most defining trait of his appearance is that he has sharp jagged teeth. His attire includes a long black coat with what appears to be straps or light armor on the shoulders. He wears a black shirt underneath with black pants and wears black shoes. He carries his scythe on his back. According to him, both his Scythe and the long-armored coat that he wears were made by Shigure's Father.
Personality
Mihai is quite sadistic, willing to kill Kenichi and Miu just to see their insides. He's also very cruel and very reckless engaged police with guns and willing to take the bullets head on while wearing a bullet proof vest stating he hates dodging. However, he does seem to have some restraint, having spared the people from dying and letting them live. However, this may have been an act of cruelty than mercy, as he wanted them to live so they would call for backup so he could be "entertained" further. His cruelty extends to that of even infants as Știrbey had no remorse in attempting to kill an infant child and woman if had been for Hongō not stopped him. Mihai is also arrogant, as he failed to listen to Mikumo's warnings about Ryōzanpaku's strength as a group to which he believed they would still lose.
He also appears to have a short temper, having gotten angry very easily on a number of occasions, such as when Shigure dealt him damage during their first fight, when Shigure was able to get a message out to Ryōzanpaku and when Kensei managed to land a blow on him during his assault on Mildred.
Mihai Știrbey is also a cautious individual, having worn protective gear in his brief fight with Shigure and Kensei's attack, to which he regularly keeps on him should he need to use it.
Its interesting to note that, despite being a follower of the Satsujinken, it seems that Mihai way of life greatly resembles that of Jenazad's who would kill just about anyone and everyone just for the sake of it. This means that Mihai is not just a Satsujinken but a follower of the Gedou fist. Further signs of his Gedou fist nature is that he is more than willing to assault someone in the middle of a battle, even from behind, further showing that not only does he follow the Gedou fist, but has no sense of honor. Most recently, it seems that Mihai has chosen the path of Gedou, culminating with him defying the One Shadow's orders by interrupting Kajima's battle and attacking Kenichi.
Even though he has the rank of a Master he doesn't follow the code of masters to never step in a disciples' fight.
Skill
- Master Scytheman: Mihai is a master of the Scythe. According to Mihai , the reason he uses a scythe as his weapon of choice is because of the massive body count that he's amassed over the years, and to see the look on his victims' faces as he kills them, which is how he earned his nickname as a "grim reaper". Mihai is able to effortlessly move and position his large scythe in any way he wants with little to no difficulties at all. When he first arrived in Japan, he easily slashed through the guns of the guards who were guarding the port, and was able to keep them alive long enough to use them a bait and to pass the time. Mihai's Scythe was supposedly created by Shigure's Father, and he stated that the Scythe itself can bend and flow like a willow, making it even easier for him to move it as he pleases as shown during his fight with Mycroft.
- Enhanced Physical Prowess: Mihai has shown to have a good amount of strength as he is able to effortlessly swing and slash multiple opponents with a large scythe. He is able to withstand an assault of bullets from multiple guards and the Shinto Gōrenzan attack (not aimed solely at him, as Shigure used the move on seven grand masters at the same time), which is one of Shigure's most powerful attacks, although it should be noted that he was also wearing a special chain vest which was also made by Shigure's father which took the blunt of the force away. Mihai himself noted that if he had not been wearing the vest, he could have been knocked out by Shigure.
- Enhanced Endurance: Mihai was shown to have an above average endurance as he withstood attacks from Ryōzanpaku masters, Shigure's Sōto Kyōrenzan (not aimed solely at him), and was able to take a hit from one of Mycroft's palm attacks while wearing a protective vest made by Shigure's father. He was also able to survive Akira Hongō's attacks, which sent him flying off a tower. It should be noted that although Mihai can survive attacks from other grand masters, he was unable to engage his enemies after being hit and had to make temporary retreats to recover from his wounds.
