Khamsin Nbh'w

Khamsin Nbh'w is a supporting protagonist in the light novel and anime series Shakugan no Shana. He is a type of Flame Haze known as a Tuner, a Flame Haze that can dispel distortions. Khamsin is also feared by both Flame Haze and Crimson Denizens who call him Demolisher, the nickname he earned from the wide-scale destruction caused by his powers.

He is voiced by Junko Minagawa in the Japanese version of the anime, while in the English version he is voiced by Cathy Weseluck in season 1 and Todd Haberkorn in seasons 2 & 3.

Appearance
While he is one of the oldest Flame Haze in history, living through thousands of years, due to entering a contract when he was very young, he bears the appearance of a ten-year-old Middle-Eastern boy.

Khamsin usually wears an orange long-sleeved hooded jumper. On its sleeves is a black and white stripped pattern. He often wears the hood when traveling, with it very loose and the white drawstring hanging down to his waist. He wears black pants. On his left wrist, he wears Behemoth's Vessel. Khamsin is usually seen holding his Treasure Tool, Mekest on his back.

In the light novels, Kazumi gives Khamsin a straw hat before he departs Misaki City. He is seen wearing it for the rest of the series. In the anime, this not shown.

Personality
Calm and collected, Khamsin is quite wise and formal; rarely showing any emotion. Though he refrains from outright fighting Denizens and Flame Haze, preferring to tune the distortions in areas, he initially displays an attitude typical of a Flame Haze; he doesn't show too much regard for humans, choosing Kazumi Yoshida for Misaki City's tuning and showing her the reality of the world only on the notion that he saw her as "best qualified".

When he returns and speaks to Kazumi again, he is shown to have come to admire humans. He has the habit of saying "Ahh..." before talking. Khamsin and Behemoth are collectively labeled 'the geezers' by Margery Daw. Tellingly, the once battle-happy Flame Haze expressed some uneasiness and reluctance for the notion that they might join in battle against the Crimson Denizens.
