Biography
Osamu Dazai (Japanese: 太宰 治 Hepburn: Dazai Osamu)
When he was 14 years old, he had made a suicide attempt on his own life but failed which was when he met Ōgai Mori who took him as a patient. Mori was actually a member of the Port Mafia and the doctor to the organization who took the young man with him as he went to tend to the dying former Boss of the mafia gang. The ailing Boss intended as his dying wish to bring death and destruction across the city though Mori simply killed him with Dazai being the only witness. Afterwards, he orchestrated a cover story with Dazai to state that the Boss had died of a serious illness and that his dying wish was for Mori to succeed him. Afterwards, Mori had Dazai join the ranks of the Port Mafia where he served as his right-hand man and came to rise to the position of executive in the organization.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Osamu Dazai was a young man who was quite tall and had a slim figure with mildly wavy, short, dark brown hair styled as bangs that frame his face and narrow dark brown eyes. Within the Port Mafia, he came to be regarded as the Youngest Leader in the History of the Mafia (歴れき代だい最さい年ねん少しょう幹かん部ぶ, reki daisainenshō kanbu?).
Such was his contribution that he was responsible for about half the Mafia's profits for at least two years.
There was a saying in the Port Mafia about Dazai which said, "The greatest misfortune for Dazai's enemies is that they are Dazai's enemies". It was said that he was practically born to be in the Mafia as he excelled in his role within the organization.
Dazai came to admit that he joined the Mafia to be exposed to death, violence, and people giving in to their urges and desires. This was because he expected that through such exposure he would be able to see the inner nature of humankind firsthand in hopes of finding a reason to live.
