Personality:

Lazarus is very short tempered but adapts quickly to changes and situations. He's very protective of his friends and disinterested in anything that doesn't have to do with piracy or lore. Easily befriends others but has problems dealing with people with obscure characters. Has a tendency to pick fights with brawlers and once in combat snaps into a very calm and focused state opposite to his usual nonchalant demeanor. As a result he is merciless and calculated. His dream is to become a big named pirate. He dislikes the Navy and the world government. Often wears a white jacket with a hood which almost always on. Kind to strangers and will help out a person in need but if the person is rich or in power, he won't help unless it's for a price. Lazarus is a child at heart but understands the evils and goods of this world. He is inapt with nature, relying more her animal instants more than anything else. He has weakness for Sake but sadly because of his pride, if his mates are drinking he will too and end drunk free spirited often ending with ridiculous dancing and passing out.

Collects long forgotten texts of his clan and various societies in order to keep memory of the lost and fallen. Has a tendency to sleep in random places, even while eating, walking and or in mid conversation to preserve his energy.Sometimes he can hear the spirits of the dead which is usually the cause of his day dreaming, due to the methods of mediation taught to him when he was younger.

History:

Lazarus was born to the Phantom Kingdom as the youngest prince. However, his Kingdom in the North Blue worked on producing weapons for the World Government. He was labelled the "White Tiger" by his father due to his sharp movements and violence in training. He is the youngest of a Kingdom of containing one other prince and a princess. His brother labeled the "Black Stag" as the heir to the throne. His sister an aspiring fencer and aromatherapy specialist. As a promise of good will, his family sold off all the princes to the Navy for generations, until Lazarus's generation where he dreamed of being a pirate due to an encounter with a pirate crew one day in Broker's Town, a local city surrounding the kingdom and his old brother joined the Revolutionary Army. Appalled by the lost of one of Phantom's greatest assets, Lazarus and his sister Amy where locked in the castle and forbidden from leaving. Shortly after this, Lazarus now age 13 was trained every day to become a marine by his Father who was also a former Captain in the Navy. Two years passed and a war broke out between the Revolutionary faction led by Lazarus's brother and the Kingdom's Royal guard over the human weapons call "Soul" which traded living souls for rare skill sets, even exhibiting abilities similar to Devil Fruit. Project Black was a secret endeavor by the Navy to produce super soldiers and after the up rises in Phantom and the potential of the projects contents being leak, The Navy ultimately labelled the Phantom Kingdom "heathens" and "demons", destroying their Kingdom via a buster call. A huge civil war broke, chaos and panic everywhere. The Royal Kingdom was destroyed, the princes stripped of their supremacy and the nation labelled, "Public Enemy Number 1". A stray canon ball hit the chamber where his father and sister were eating dinner when Lazarus was chilling on the rough top of the near by bar. He sat from a far distance watching the castle be destroyed and Navy officers murder civilians in pure blood in the streets. Lazarus rushed back to what was now rubles of his kingdom and saw his brother with his father on his back and his sister in his hands now covered in blood and surrounded by officers. They asked no questions and murdered them via gunshots in broad daylight and in the ambiance of the fires. His brother saw him in the corner of his eye and whispered "Sorry Brother, Run! Live!" Lazarus reading words his brother said from a distance ran through the nearby jungles to the ocean. In the Jungle however, a stray canon ball exploded and flew Lazarus's body into the sea. Passed out violent waves washed him ashore on an island almost hundreds of miles away from his homeland. As he looked on, from the island he could hear cries, smell the smoke and even see the once proud castle left in nothing but rumble. Wanting to return home, not heading the cries of his brother, he built a raft returning to the area of the buster call. As he ran through the streets laden with dead bodies of marine officers, army solders, revolutionist and civilians, all he could do was cry for he could hear the lost souls wailing in pain. He returned to the castle thinking everything was over with seeing a man dressed in a black suit smoking a cigarette talking to his father, the last words he'll ever here his father speak.

"You betrayed us... Damn Government! I even sacrificed my wife for your weapons! This how you repay me this utter disrespect-"

The man in the black suit kick his father in his side flip him over now on his back.

"This is all politics Falcon. Your family has been so good to us after all these years but sadly, you couldn't control that loosed mouth little brat of yours. It made me feel so good to see him gunned down-"

Lazarus's father rushed towards the man in pure rage but was quickly shot down by some nearby men also in black suits.

The man in the Black Suit lift him up by his collar and said:

"The Celestial Dragons wanted you dead Falcon. Your kingdom will end just like Ohara is and was, forgotten and if remember nothing but hate and anguish towards the Demons! The Heathens who sacrificed there whole race! I've had enough"

Lazarus's father dropped to the ground. Lazarus couldn't bare to see his father and brother die in one day he rushed towards the men but before he could charge he was knocked out.

A mysterious man intervene saving. When Lazarus woke up, he was in bed somewhere in the North Blue terrains of BlackWood. With a letter and a treasure chest, he opened the chest and saw a fruit, along with a robe and a ring. He opened the letter and began to read, this was last time he swore to ever shed tears. A letter covered in blood stains read.

"Our people where proud and strong. Believe in the respect of life and morals of humanity. Our father betrayed that and was wrong but he did not deserve the treatment that he was given. If your reading this brother, looks like I've kicked the bucket. You were always father's favorite though, so I'm glad it's you that lived. My language is a little funny seeing that I'm losing quite a bit of blood writing this, boy your heavy now, you've grown so much! Anyhow! I sound like an old man huh? In this box is a treasure I recovered in my journey's in the Grandline, use it well. One more thing brother, please find our sister. The Celestial Dragons plan to marry her off to Royalty to be some nobles slave and finally live, love and be brother. "

The man who entered to change his bandages told him of how his brother stumbled in town at the middle of the night covered in blood and bullet wounds. He should have died hours ago but his pure will pushed him through. He went to the grove at the top of the village, hidden in a oasis of oaks and saw his brother's grave.

Lazarus was left as an Orphan and sworn to a life of piracy to survive, his dream but he never imagined obtaining it like this. He hates the marines and World Government passionately and wishes to destroy them. He began training learning a new Style of Fighting based on Brawling and Street fighting in the ghettos. His name the White Tiger bleeds throughout the slums of BlackWood and soon the whole world will know his name.
