Biography
Beowulf was the second in command under Georg Carmine in the Elfrieden Army prior to the One Week War. While he was not privy to all of intentions of Georg's rebellion, he was made aware of most of them. Despite his personal opinions on the matter, Beowulf acted under Georg's direction until the Army's surrender, going so far as to be the one to 'arrest' Georg. Beowulf was also arrested due to his status within the army and died in prison.

Shortly after Beowulf died in prison, Inugami joined the Black Cats. It is unclear exactly Inugami's rank within the organization, but he seems to hold a second-in-command position below Kagetora.

Inugami was the member of the Black Cats that made contact with Souji Lester when Friedonia requested Lester to serve as the Lunarian bishop within the country. It was due to his judgment that Merula Merlin, who had been hiding with Souji, was brought to Friedonia as well.

Inugami was also one of the members of the Black Cats that was assigned to the mission of defending Kazuya during his trip to the Star Dragon Mountain Range. When the intended travel group decided to proceed to the Range in order to aid in the approaching Storm Crisis, Kazuya decided to have Tomoe remain in a small village near the border to keep her safe. When others questioned the decision, he summoned Inugami and had him serve as Tomoe's bodyguard, permitting him to remove his mask. Halbert, who was with the group, recognized the face behind the mask as Beowulf's and began to say so before he was cut off by Kazuya that this was Inugami.

Inugami has continued to serve in various unknown operations and as Tomoe's bodyguard when she has traveled outside of the castle. Due to his service as her bodyguard, he is perhaps one of the more visible members of the Black Cats and seems to have developed a certain affection for Tomoe and her family.
