Akanji was the oldest member of the older teenaged crime fighting team "Winds of Justice." Akanji was different because, while everyone else on the team has some sort of superpower, Akanji is the descendant of old wizardry. When Akanji came of age, and completed the Trials of Battle Magic, two living blades were the boon of that victory. Akanji and Emerald Vengeance were best friends, and it was Akanji who convinced Emerald Vengeance to accept the role as leader of the Winds of Justice.
