Denshi is uncertain about how in his youth he found his way to the monastery of the Empyrean Lords knowing only he was named for the storm that raged the night before he was found. His earliest memories are of the monks teaching him how to assist them in the gardens. Soon, from his perspective at least, he was old enough to help with more involving chores such as the cooking and even gathering food from outside the monastery protecting walls, however he was never allowed on the pilgrimages most of the other monks went on once the rainy seasons were over. Eventually he was deemed old enough to begin learning the ways of self defense. He quickly progressed in both the martial ways with a talent for hard and fast assaults and soon found he had not only a great talent for the physical teachings of the church but also the more esoteric and holy ones. However it was not until he had begun to approach his adulthood that he really understood what it meant to be different from the other monks there.
Living his life in the monasteries bubble he had not understood that those who had taught him were aging at a different rate from himself until the first of the monks who had raised him became to I'll to travel as the rainy season ended. Before the week was out he was gone. Understanding it was now time for Denshi to gain a better understanding of life outside of the monastery, and also needing to replace now gone monk who had previously acted as a warrior to protect traveling pilgrims, the Abbot called Denshi into a talk and asked him to begin walking the paths of pilgrimage and assist those who traveled them as well.
For the next several decades Denshi walked a simple path guarding the pilgrims he met along his travels, but also doing his best to help make better the lives of those he protected them from. Seeing the hunger and suffering that often pushed some into the life of banditry he would often do his best to emulate his patron lord Korada and spare those he could with a stern warning to better themselves. Every time he passed their homes he would check in upon them, offering assistance however he could. However those who found themselves under his hand a second time rarely got the same opportunity, for Denshi often felt that he was responsible for damages caused by those he chose to spare and wasted no time in ending the lives of those who would refuse to better themselves. During the rainy seasons when the monks settled into the monastery he threw himself into training, often doing little else between that and meditation in his gardens.
It was a simple life however all of that changed however the day he found himself called into action alongside the rest of his brothers in a far away city known as Freygate.
The monastery of the Empyrean Lords was a but a small branch of a larger whole of the organization known as the Empyreal Guardians, and when the call came for battle they joined into a battle of epic proportions. The forces of abyss itself had come forth to assault the city, and the full onslaught of the battle left a scar on Densi's soul. He had believed himself a man of the world, a man who had traveled about and seen the good and evil of men. Now he knew different, he chose not to return to his home of a century instead leaving out into a wider world hoping that there he might be able to do enough good to sooth his soul.
Denshi wears simple clothes over a slight frame that belies the explosive strength that it is capable, owning only his personal enchanted monks and the other simple items he feels he needs to go about his lifes missions.
