Kibu is a war god who has walked more worlds than this one. Strength, flight, and passage through time and space come easily to him; staying dead did not. Killed in the distant past, he persists inside a paradoxical loop — alive by a technicality, carrying a shattered amethyst gem that shouldn’t still burn. He surfaces now in lower Manhattan, where he fights alongside an underground crew called The Bowery. Buganda knew him as Kibuka. Other places, other centuries, knew him by other names.
