Following this job, Obi lay low and other members in this 'line of work' passed rumors that Obi had either died or quit and settled down with a family. Obi was heavily injured in a high-risk job with a large wound across his chest and then disappeared into the woods when a fellow comrade, Torou, went to check on him. He has admitted these jobs were illegal in nature, and it has been implied that they involved assassination. Obi's traditional line of work involved carrying out various 'jobs' that could be considered too high risk or too tedious for ordinary people to take.
If he was telling the truth it would have been in the mountains of Tanbarun before she was sent to live with her grandparents as he tells Shirayuki and Zen that he had met her before in Tanbarun though he had never been to the Capital before. Whilst not much is explicitly told about Obi's past prior to the main story he does at one point claim, possibly facetiously, to have met Shirayuki sometime during her childhood. He is a nimble and skilled fighter, able to switch modes of combat quickly from swords to hand-combat with the ability to stand on his hands and use his feet to extract and fling his opponents' sword away. He has unconventional ways of moving around buildings, often preferring to enter through the window or through a balcony rather than through the door. Obi has a preference for being alone outside in the night and describes himself as nocturnal. However, since being with Zen and company, he is shown to rely on those around him and has the motivation to protect and watch those around him flourish. It is shown that prior to meeting Zen and company, he maintained no relationships or friendships that could tie him down, and was considerably more aloof and seldom relied on others for help.
Obi continues to utilize the skills and knowledge from his previous line of work to find information to protect Zen, Mitsuhide, and Shirayuki, and to pursue those that seek to harm them and threaten his new lease on life. Obi is rather an aloof character and whilst he holds Prince Zen Wistaria and Shirayuki dear to him, he holds them at a distance not wanting them to know very much about his past. When Obi comes to Lilias, he wears black underclothes and a white tunic over the top, a fur-lined neck warmer and a cape that covers his right shoulder and arm. However, he also wears the latter with a loose neck warmer when he has no official business and simply loitering about the castle.
When Obi is conducting official business as messenger for Prince Zen Wistaria, he wears either a black buttoned official uniform that is long-sleeved or light unbuttoned colored official uniform with short sleeves and a black undershirt with long sleeves. His clothing choices become more dignified and formal over the course of the story, though he always prefers darker colors to better sneak around in at night and a neck wrap of some kind. His preferred clothes in his earliest appearances include a dusty sand yellow headband that wraps around his head and covers his ears, khaki-colored shirt, black long-sleeved undershirt, neck wrap, black pants, boots, and gloves. Obi has short deep brown hair, yellow cat-like eyes, and a scar on his forehead above his left eye that is usually partially hidden underneath his hair. He is confirmed to have romantic feelings for Shirayuki. He is later knighted by Zen as Zen Wisteria's Immediate Knight and given the position and duty as Shirayuki's guard in a more official capacity. Soon after, Obi is hired as Zen's attendant before being officially raised to being Zen's personal messenger and placed as Shirayuki's personal guard with an official Wistal Castle ID. Surprised by her wit and bravery, and mildly curious about Zen, he hands himself over to Zen calling him "Master". Obi was formerly a mercenary and assassin who first encountered our protagonists when he was hired by Lord Haruka to prevent Shirayuki from entering the castle and meeting Zen and furthering her relationship with the prince. Unlike Zen's other aides, Obi often serves far from his master as he carries out duties as a messenger or as Shirayuki's bodyguard. Obi (オビ Obi) is the tritagonist of Akagami No Shirayuikime, and is currently an aide of and knight directly answering to Prince Zen Wisteria, along with Mitsuhide Rouen, and Kiki Seiran whom he has befriended. Messenger for the Second Prince of Clarines (formerly)
